Works for me on Android, so maybe it's an iOS thing.
Chose an episode of TV to watch, and synced it rather than downloading. Watched it on my phone and then checked the server and it was showing as watched. I'd hit the sync button on the phone in the meantime just to be sure.
Edit - didn't need to press the sync button, it did it automatically for me.

There is a sync option available which might be what you're looking for.

However something funky is happening with the TV Show "The Missing" episode 2 and 3 of season 1 are both being flagged in Plex as Episode 3, which has the ② denoting two files for that episode. If I drop in episode 2 only it still comes up as Episode 3, the file names are fixed in the file system but no matter what happens it still gets recognised as Episode 3

Having said all that, I'll try it later on. Pull out the internet cable and see if it still works. You never know with these things.

But you can always use http://local_IP to connect to your server on the LAN without internet, even from the iOS app (can't comment for android but i guessit similar). Yes, the iOS app first goes to plex.tv, but you can manually configure a LAN IP and not need internet.
