Leave a Review Jellyfin Mobile
Nightmare of an app
Absolute nightmare of an app and just doesn’t work I’ve tried everything and just gave up! Use Plex it’s much better!Netpex
Horrible on any apple device
The server functionality is GREAT! But; when it comes to playback… go find another app. I’ve spend many a moment waiting for the app to load. It’s the same on iOS, iPad OS, and TV OS. I only use this app when I have to in order to create a new account for someone and even then I prefer to use safari.
If you want a better playback experience and don’t wanna wait until your hair turns grey look for another app that will play off of a Jellyfin server.Show lessDJMadMex

Forget PLEX! JellyFin is so much better!
JellyFin is a superior media server. Takes a little know how to get it properly set up but when it is- it’s the Hallelujah moment you’ve been dreaming of! Streaming your own content to any device in your home without the extra fees or all the added “bloatware” that PLEX adds to your media library is a game changer. So happy with this app! Finally have a superior way to serve my media and share my favorite content with friends and family. Deleted PLEX from all my devices. It’s obsolete. Thank You JellyFin developers. Great work!Show lessFock Yu
Incredible tool to change your media management
The developers that maintain this open source application deserve big kudos, as it is a lot of work to keep up with Apple’s ever moving goal posts just so we can use Jellyfin on iOS. Massive hat tip to you guys for keeping this updated so I can watch all my content on my phone.
I would love some ability to download videos to my device and have some sort of local cache to watch videos when I’m on the go but I know that would probably be difficult to implement. Thanks again for keeping this app going!Show less123abc123abcgeneric
Chromecast connection failure
So I like the app! But I can’t connect with my chromecast. It’s being really annoyingBastianherer
BEST APP EVER!
Amazing app that allows me to view my OWNED media in a completely new and wonderful way! Can’t recommend this app enough!
Update: So I do have a few gripes and issues to address. The first major issue I have is the subtitles. Often, when subtitles (embedded and srt) are enabled, they are usually synced incorrectly, or do not play at all. This is not an issue with the subtitles, media or server as they play just fine on my other Jellyfin clients (Web, Tizen, Media Player (PC)). I’m hoping this will be addressed as I don’t want to get halfway through another show only to realize it’s had subtitles the entire time.
My other complaint has to do with the current caching issue. The issue could be server side, however it appears that when connecting to a new server or updating the app while still connected to the old one, there is a glitch with the caching and the UI doesn’t appear at all. This was also an issue on all my other clients. To fix the PC media player, I deleted the media player cache in local app data and reconnected just fine. For iPhone, the only method I’ve found is to delete and reinstall the app.
As a side note. It would be nice if the “Reset Application” button cleared the web cache as well.Show lessAhrimdon

Doesn’t work, but Jellyfix does
Sees everything on my Jellyfin server, but can’t play *any* of it, while Jellyfix plays it just fine (not that the Jellyfin server works all that well). UI is great for showing library, but once you (attempt) to play a video, there’s no way to go back to the main screen - most you can do is pause the video and your’re left with an empty video screen with no controls other than play/pause. Why does every dev insist on hiding controls and trying to “look cool”, instead of making things work and be intuitive? After 2 years of trying to make Jellyfin do what it says on the package, I’m about done. Overhyped, clunky, barely works…on dedicated new hardware. Windows Media sharing and VLC works better, and that’s saying something. Paying for Plex is looking pretty attractive about now.Show lessMileHighBear
