### 3/5 — Stetige Verbesserungen

*2026-07-23*

Die Performance dieser App ist eine Katastrophe auf dem Apple TV. Man fühlt sich in die 90er zurückversetzt. Steuerung ist extrem zeitverzögert. Massiver Ausbau bedarf.

23.07.2023
Durch das letzte Update ist die Performance besser geworden. Schön zu sehen, dass Rezensionen gehört werden. 

Die App bietet ein riesige Menge an Einstellung. Kann einen leicht überfordern. Aber schön dass es sie gibt. 
Die App ist außerdem schön animiert. 
Die deutsche Übersetzung ist teilweise nicht ganz perfekt. Zum Beispiel, „TV Show“ wird mit „TV Zeigt“, statt Serie/Serien, übersetzt. 

Freue mich auf weitere Updates. 
Sollte ich eine kontinuierliche Verbesserung festellen, kommt vielleicht das Lifetime-Update für mich in Frage.

**Developer response:** Glad you're enjoying the app! Translation issues can be reported to dev@deejellie.com or at forums.floretechnologies.com with a Flore Tech account. I will make some adjustments based on this!

original: Sorry you had issues! Performance should be much better in 2026.07.3, which addresses bugs affecting certain libraries after adding support for multimedia, not just music.

### 3/5 — Great app but has issues

*2026-07-18*

TLDR: The app has performance issues. Lagging constantly and some UI bugs. Otherwise it’s an app I want to like and use but had to stop using it at one point. It’s feature complete with widgets, customization, and achievements of all things.

So far with the little time I had with it so far (about 4 hours) it’s the best Jellyfin app by far. Better than the actual Jellyfin web interface, especially for music. It has a lot of detail and feels great to use. Though, at times, there was some stuttering and I had a couple crashes with the app but after reinstalling it again worked fine. I also did have some trouble with syncing with my Apple TV. Such as adding music to a playlist and getting my Apple TV Now Playing to sync with my iPhone within the app but did show it in the control center and was able to control the music there. Overall would recommend so far. I can’t appreciate the work that went into it enough. Oh and the achievements are a nice touch.

Edit: Many Many months later. I had to stop using it at one point because the lag was unbearable and had to knock the rating down a bit for that. I haven’t used it since even after writing this edit. I have noticed that it has been making playlists for me every week I think and I really like that a lot. Since I have thousands of music and more to come.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Daily Mixes are made locally, on device, from your library as well as Smart Mixes that give you the option to regenerate weekly, happy to hear you enjoy that! 

Performance should be much better in 2026.07.3, which addresses bugs affecting certain libraries after adding support for multimedia, not just music.

### 4/5 — Best Jellyfin Music App

*2026-07-15*

I’ve tried a lot of solutions in my quest to replace Spotify with a self-hosted solution for my media library, and Dee Jellie has blown everything else out of the water. It’s more stable, performant, feature-complete, easy to set up, and flexible than anything else I’ve tried. The developer seems to really care and provides frequent updates to the app, which is great to see when so many other options are closed source one-and-done clients with broken and missing features.

The only reason I haven’t given the app 5 stars is that with all of the new features, especially lately, the UI has become a little bit bloated and slow. Searching, for example, currently gives me four bars along the bottom of the screen stacked atop each other- a category selection and search button, a now playing bar, a search bar, and a search category filter bar, with mixed theming and sizing. Typing to search is so slow that there are often several seconds between keypresses, making it very frustrating to perform searches for longer names. Indexing the media collection on my server comprising of ~2000 tracks across ~500 artists takes nearly 10 minutes, and the app often crashes halfway through the refresh- though thankfully progress appears to save and so it will complete on reopening. A lot of this might be my fault for having a large, relatively unorganized media collection, but it’d be nice to see some performance improvements in future updates. Perhaps the addition of an optional server-side plugin to proactively index media similar to how Infuse works could solve a lot of these problems.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! Glad you’re enjoying the app and hope it will only get better with future updates. That’s definitely longer than it should take to refresh and I’d be interested to hear if it’s resolved in 2026.07.3.

### 1/5 — No Trabaja y hay otros cobros en la app dentro de ella

*2026-06-13*

Es una app que noda la informacion , los cover de la musica o artitas no hay nada , no es facil .

**Developer response:** Sorry you had trouble using the app! It does not include media, so you do need your own server configured properly with metadata. The optional Supporter subscription is not required to use the application and provides extra features.

### 5/5 — Best Jellyfin App

*2026-05-03*

So far with the little time I had with it so far (about 4 hours) it’s the best Jellyfin app by far. Better than the actual Jellyfin web interface, especially for music. It has a lot of detail and feels great to use. Though, at times, there was some stuttering and I had a couple crashes with the app but after reinstalling it again worked fine. I also did have some trouble with syncing with my Apple TV. Such as adding music to a playlist and getting my Apple TV Now Playing to sync with my iPhone within the app but did show it in the control center and was able to control the music there. Overall would recommend so far. I can’t appreciate the work that went into it enough. Oh and the achievements are a nice touch.

### 3/5 — Réactivité à sérieusement améliorer

*2026-04-25*

Sur le papier et en test les fonctionnalités sont très bonnes. Malheureusement, sur Apple TV l’application n’est pas réactive. Sans doute car ma bibliothèque est conséquente, mais impossible de naviguer dans les albums : le curseur ne répond pas et l’application se fige. Cela ne le fait pas avec une app concurrente LiquidFin. J’attendrais les mises à jour car l’interface est pourtant très réussie. Je n’ai pu tester sur IPhone car je ne peux passer sous iOS 26.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! You should notice much improved performance in 2026.07.3 on Apple TV with more optimizations to come.

### 4/5 — Bonne app pour Jellyfin avec CarPlay !

*2026-03-30*

L’application la plus complète pour Jellyfin. Il y a encore des améliorations possibles mais c’est plutôt bien. La version CarPlay est la plus complète que j’ai trouvé. Il reste encore sur CarPlay pas mal d’améliorations de l’UX (trop de texte, trop de menus, trop de listes pas assez de vignettes). 
Ça mérite un bon encouragement pour les devs !

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback and glad you're enjoying the app! The CarPlay overhaul that arrived in 2026.07.1 should be even more engaging and detailed with more visual navigation through artwork.

### 5/5 — Works well and Looks nice

*2026-03-27*

EDIT:
After upgrading to V1.07 my Problems were solved (as stated in the release notes). Addditionally I got in contact with the developer, thx for reaching out to me!


Old Text:
The app looks and feels great. But it is not usable at the moment - as soon as I connect to my Jellyfin-server (connection only works with IP, not with URL by the way), it synchronizes any albums, artists, artworks etc - but not a single song. So there’s no music to be played. 

Couldn’t reach out to the developer on his website (“An error occurred” when trying to send a message), so I’ll try it here: @dev - I would appreciate an answer to this comment, maybe you can help me out with workarounds or by telling me that it’s a known bug.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2026-03-17*

well-made and detailed. wished i can downloaded content onto applewatch

### 1/5 — Can’t connect to server

*2026-03-04*

Instantly fails to connect. I’ve triple checked the ip address and am able to connect using other apps without issue.
