  • 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

    When scrolling through the cover artwork movie list on a regular sized iPhone 11 you can only see the roles on the on the edges of the phone, the middle row is black & empty please fix… The three rows show up just fine on a larger iPhone
  • Updates needed.

    The app is very buggy and I often lose track of where I am when switching back and forth from TV to phone. Native play isn’t default so playback will continue in the background if you get a phone call. again, because of the lack of native play you do not have the ability to pause from the command centre or other devices like AirPods. Instead it will play the last thing paused with native playback WHILE Jellyfin is still playing!

    It’s all around a subpar experience compared to android….has there been any real development on the iOS app recently? I truly want to switch from PLEX but not with this kind of support on the Apple TV and iPhone.

  • Needs SyncPlay support

    Good app, would really like to see SyncPlay support.
  • Great app

    It is amazing how good the player is compared to the traditional app. It plays smoothly and with no issues. The only thing that is missing is the audio playback for music, I believe it will be available soo, I hope 👍👏
  • Junk

    You wait a year for an update and their app is still littered with bugs, often displays blank pages, often crashes. This isn’t even worth free. Stick to alternatives and don’t waste your time.
  • Great to see an update

    Great to see an update finally published to the Apple Store.
    However when we will get an update for the tvOS app?
  • Great, but not perfect.

    Been using Swiftin since TestFlight, they’ve come a long way, lots of fixes and improvements that were needed. Only main issue I still have is that you can’t play audio formats like TrueHD etc. Would love it if it supported playing transcoded clips, maybe a download section for offline playback, probably the most unlikely feature would be Skip Intro and Skip Outro. Either way great update even after an entire year.

  • Better than the main JF app, but flawed

    I find this app to be better than the main Jellyfin application; it is generally more stable, and works more efficiently, and has a more usable interface. I was happy to see an update to it today (June 11) but now it doesn’t see my local JF server at all. The main app still works, implying that something has been broken in this new update regarding server discovery.

  • Limitations

    Why is there an option to change audio type but not video quality? App is very nice, but the player is much too simplified in my opinion; it doesn’t really take advantage of what Jellyfin has to offer.
  • Works OK. No DTS 7.1, Atmos or Dolby Vison. Video issues on new Apple TV 4K

    This app needs some work. Will not play video unless experimental force direct play is turned on. If this is off, video resolution looks terrible, if it even plays. I have a brand new Apple TV 4K red generation running latest tvOS. This app does not play tru-hd 7.1, Atmos or Dolby vision. If the movie is in 7.1 you will hear no sound. Must change to 5.1 format. Also don’t have your Apple TV set to Dolby vision. If you do, this app will not work correctly and colors will be messed up. Make sure your Apple TV is set to 4K SDR. Would be nice to have ability to add folders without having to go into media and then my folder. Add this to the home screen

    Tried the Infuse Player by another developer and it works with all the above without any issues. Only give this app two stars because it’s free. Hoping you can fix the issues mentioned above
