Absolument génial !!!
Integrates with iOS/iPadOS/TvOS Masterfully
Update broke the app
Response from developer
Sorry about the audio cutting out after the update, and thank you for reporting the exact timing. Could you contact me through JellyTV’s support with your tvOS version, whether the picture continues when the sound stops, and whether it affects every file or just one? If possible, include a photo of Playback Information and your audio setup (TV speakers, soundbar/receiver, or HomePods). These details will help me investigate the Apple TV playback issue.
Most incredible Jellyfin client of all time
Amazing UI
My only problem with it is that it tries to advertise its payed plan a bit aggressively (but you can totally get by without it)
Response from developer
Thank you for the feedback! I’ve corrected several playback startup issues, including AV1 black screens and stalls, with further reliability fixes prepared for the next update. If this still happens, please contact me through support with your device and the video format so I can check your case.
Ждем развития

Спасибо за отзыв! Извините, что ваше письмо осталось без ответа. Я доработал воспроизведение Dolby Vision Profile 8 и подготовил обработку совместимых файлов Profile 7 для следующего обновления. Результат зависит от файла и устройства. Напишите через поддержку в приложении, указав модель устройства и версию JellyTV, чтобы я мог проверить ваш случай.
Might Need an Update

I Have Been Having Trouble Subscribing to the JellyTV+ Monthly, I don’t know if this is the App or Apple itself. If you can find the issue and Fix it or ask Apple to Fix it, that would be greatly appreciated!! But, the App is Really Good, the best I’ve used to date!!

Thank you, Hayden, for your kind words and for reporting this. I’m sorry the monthly subscription isn’t working for you. Please contact me through the app’s support with the error message and your device and app versions, so I can investigate the purchase failure.
À première vu top
Ça a l’air bien plus au point que Swiftfin ou Infuse.
S’intègre bien à l’écosystème Apple.
Seul bémol pour l’instant, manque un peu de fluidité dans l’utilisation et au lancement.
Merci en tout cas pour cette nouvelle super appli
Response from developer
Merci beaucoup pour ce retour détaillé ! J’ai travaillé sur le démarrage et le chargement de l’accueil, avec de nouvelles optimisations préparées pour la prochaine mise à jour. Je suis ravi que la recherche et l’intégration à l’écosystème Apple te plaisent !
I want to love it
With HDR10 movies, playback will sometimes suddenly stop, jump backward several seconds, and resume with HDR completely disabled. My projector confirms that the signal changes from 10-bit BT.2020 HDR10 to 8-bit BT.709 SDR, so the picture becomes brighter but noticeably dull and washed out. Restarting the movie immediately restores HDR.
I’ve also had issues with resume position not being remembered consistently, which is a pretty basic function for a media player.
I’ve tested the same Jellyfin server, network, Apple TV, projector, and exact movie files in Infuse, where everything plays correctly, so these issues appear to be specific to JellyTV.
I really hope the developers continue improving the playback engine because there is a lot to like here. But after paying for lifetime access, I expect basics like stable HDR playback and reliable resume positions to work consistently. At the moment, they don’t.
Response from developer
Thank you for the detailed report and for supporting JellyTV with a lifetime purchase. I’ve corrected resume-position reporting and improved playback routing, with further playback fixes prepared for the next update. I haven’t confirmed a fix for your exact HDR10-to-SDR issue. Please contact me through support so I can investigate your setup.
Top!
Response from developer
Merci beaucoup ! J’ai apporté plusieurs améliorations au chargement et au défilement de l’accueil. D’autres optimisations sont préparées pour la prochaine mise à jour afin de rendre la navigation plus fluide.
Best Jellyfin client for iOS tbh
Response from developer
Thank you so much! I’m really happy JellyTV has become your favourite Jellyfin client. Your support means a lot and motivates me to keep improving it!
Best Jellyfin App!
Response from developer
Thank you for the recommendation! I’m delighted you’re enjoying JellyTV. I’ll keep working to make it even smoother and more reliable.
Amazing UI but playback is a bit broken
If they can fix that this will definitely be my go to client for jellyfin!
Fixed. Broken on Ipad
Edit : works. 5* app kudos
Response from developer
Thank you for updating your review! I’m glad it’s working again on your iPad. Thanks for your patience and for the five stars!
Very promising, but not there yet
Excellent app! A true netflix replacement
Response from developer
Voici une réponse équilibrée, qui remercie sans promettre des fonctions trop précises : Thank you for the detailed review and recommendation! I’m glad JellyTV has made managing, requesting, and watching your library feel simple and seamless. The Picture in Picture and playback-resume issues you described are not the intended experience. Playback stability, video restoration, and transitions between PiP and the main app continue to be improved with each update. Your suggestions around monitoring active downloads, stopping problematic releases, and requesting another version are also very relevant, especially for users with automated media workflows. A more integrated mini-player experience is another area I’d like to improve. Thank you for taking the time to provide such specific feedback. It helps identify exactly where JellyTV still needs work to earn that fifth star !
Приятное, но ещё сырое приложение
The best Jellyfin client, but still room to improve!
The Best app out there
In a sense you set the standard for what a jellyfin player should look and feel like.
Only request I would like is live tv.
Thanks again!
Response from developer
Thank you so much for the incredible feedback! I’m really glad JellyTV stands out from the other Jellyfin clients you’ve tried and delivers the experience I’m aiming for across Apple devices. Live TV is a highly requested feature and is something I’m considering for a future update. Thanks again for your support and for helping set the direction for JellyTV’s continued development!
Good app, bad practices
The bad: There is an entire tab in the navigation bar dedicated to advertising a paid admin-subscription by locking you out of basic features. The Admin panel is one of four tabs in the always-on-your-screen navigation bar which does nothing except ask you to subscribe in order to use it. I could switch apps to Streamyfin or a dozen other 3rd party apps (or the official one) and use those very basic features for free. There's also a permanent ad on the Home Screen for a another separate subscription to 'JellyTV+' which is a hybrid between a support subscription, and a promise of access to "future features". What are these features and why will they be behind a paywall? It's a mystery.
Its a new app with a lot of potential design wise—aesthetic and UI are really important—but to be so ham-fisted with two different subscriptions to their client in its infancy leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I can't help but wonder how it will progress if the app increases its user-base. JellyTV is certainly not going to start asking for money *less* when more users join. If they must advertise their subscriptions, don't lock a whole key section behind a paywall while making it a permanent fixture on the screen. And why sell you basic admin features that are free literally anywhere else? I understand the JellyTV Apple Watch specific admin tools are actual unique value, which could be understandably paywalled, but merely restarting my server in-app? "Subscribe to unlock!"
Beyond that, there are odd grammar usages which give away it's a foreign app (eg. "Informations").
The app isn't very smooth and is a bit choppy when navigating the UI but I assume that will improve over time. It does taint the experience a bit especially in comparison to Streamyfin which is very smooth.
Response from developer
Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review. I’m glad you see the potential in JellyTV’s design, playback experience, Seerr integration, and overall feature set. Your criticism regarding the visibility of locked premium sections is fair. The Admin tab is intended for users who manage their server directly from JellyTV, but presenting a locked tab so prominently can make the experience feel more like an advertisement than a useful part of the app. I’m reviewing how premium features are presented so they are clearer and less intrusive for users who do not need them. JellyTV+ is not intended as a vague promise of unspecified future features. It supports ongoing development and unlocks additional functionality, but the distinction between free, premium, and admin features needs to be communicated more clearly. The grammar issues and interface performance you mentioned are also valid areas for improvement. Both localization quality and navigation smoothness continue to be refined with each update. Thank you for the direct feedback. Even when critical, reviews like this are useful because they highlight where the product experience and communication are not yet good enough !
