### 5/5 — Extraordinary

*2026-07-10*

A fantastic app which works quite well. It makes using your Jellyfin instance seamless. The CarPlay update was a welcome addition. I only wish it supported Apple Watch with offline downloads. This would be a killer feature!

### 5/5 — Awesome Jellyfin Player

*2026-06-29*

Really loving this so far, especially enjoying the curated mixes (like the ‘Try This Out’ section,) new ways to explore my library are always welcome. Also like how lightweight it is, caching has not been an issue for me, especially since it keeps the app size down. 
My biggest ask would be DLNA, there are currently no Jellyfin audio players that work with Sonos speakers like Symfonium does on Android. Hope you will consider this 🙏🙏
Next to that would be lyrics improvements, like letting us click each line to skip to it, and having it highlight the currently playing lyrics. 
Thanks for an awesome Jellyfin player Mr. Developer 🫡

**Developer response:** Thank you for the details and warm words! I really try to keep and lightweight and easy to use while introducing more features. Time synced lyrics will come for sure, I'll be onto it after some more fixes for 0.7.x version. DLNA is quite old protocol, so if I went for this, it wouldn't be soon sadly. I put it on backlog, though.

### 4/5 — Pretty Darn Good!

*2026-06-08*

I’m really enjoying the app. I wasn’t sure about it DLing because of the little reviews but notice most player do. Over all really impressive. I gave a big MP3 collection and works well with Jellyfin. Making playlist is great. One thing and maybe I’m just blind but I can’t find a shuffle all songs button. Like music, artist Albums and all songs to hit shuffle. Can’t find it or don’t have it?

**Developer response:** Thank you for detailed review! Shuffle all is not implemented yet, but will be eventually, since it requires dynamic queue updates: the app can’t enqueue all 100k tracks at once, and some users have such amounts of data.

### 4/5 — Promising player!

*2026-06-05*

This is a great new player my biggest ask would be if we could cache the album list somehow like Manet does.

My default thing to do when I open the app is look at my album list but because we’re loading from the server every time and I’ve got a few thousand albums it takes a very very long time to the point where I’ve only seen it once pls fix ty 🙏

**Developer response:** Thank you for detailed review! I agree that currently on large datasets Discrete may take quite a long time to process. I have this on backlog and bumped it up in priority. I hope you'll like the app even more when the fix comes.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2026-05-29*

Thank you!

**Developer response:** Thank you too for using Discrete! You’re always welcome to reach me have you any issue at all. Keeping on meanwhile!

### 5/5 — The cleanest UI!

*2026-05-14, version 0.7.1*

As someone who values interfaces a ton, this is hands-down the most pleasing one I’ve used! Everything you need is here and easy to set up, so I’m definitely satisfied.

It could be nice to be able to customize the home section at some point? The current sections feel somewhat redundant (new releases vs recently added? suggestions vs try this out?). I’m mostly an album listener though, so this doesn’t affect my usage at all. Love the app!

### 5/5 — Outstanding work

*2026-04-28*

Very well made app, look no further you’ve found the one

**Developer response:** Appreciate! Working on bringing more.

### 4/5 — Almost

*2026-04-21*

Just needs to add support for lyrics that sync with the song

**Developer response:** Coming some time later, thank you!

### 5/5 — I’ve tried most of them…

*2026-03-27*

Discrete is so far the best. I have been using JellyFin for about a month. Other apps were good but had significant flaws (bugs causing no album artwork, download issues etc.). Discrete handles me needs the best. Looking forward to future updates and plan to purchase lifetime member soon.

**Developer response:** Glad to hear it works well. Stability, ease of use and good looking are main priorities for me. Feel free to contact me in case of issues or just for giving thoughts on possible features. There's navigation redesign coming which will allow next pack of features to be fitted in, so stay tuned!

### 5/5 — Professional app

*2026-03-11, version 0.6.0*

No comment, it’s perfect!
