### 1/5 — Poor UI

*2026-08-27, version v1.0.14*

lots of dark patterns

### 3/5 — mega verbuggt

*2026-08-26*

sieht cool aus und equalizer ist auch gut aber mega viele bugs

### 1/5 — Download feature is badly broken

*2026-08-24, version v1.0.14*

Download feature works only until the next restart.

### 4/5 — Great app - 2 issues

*2026-08-14, version v1.0.13*

First I’d like to say this is the best Jellyfin player for iOS I have found. 

Two issues I’ve found is that when in the music player (when you tap on the bar above the page navigation to see the album bigger and get more music controls) it takes a few swipes down to actually go away. I’m on the most recent update (1.0.13) and have deleted/redownloaded a few. Being able to just swipe down once would be great!
The last issue I’ve found is that an album with multiple disks sometimes stop at the end of the disk. Idk if this is a jellyfin or player issue, but if it is a Manet issue, fixing that would be phenomenal!

Once again, this app is great! 10/10! Thanks for all the work you do!

### 5/5 — Great jellyfin client

*2026-08-13, version v1.0.12*

Very nice player for jellyfin music libraries. I was happy to find out about the desktop app as well

### 4/5 — Loving it so far but

*2026-08-12, version v1.0.13*

Newest update has removed the shuffle button from tracks when you play via genres, please fix this asap because I constantly shuffle music and click on genres based on the mood I want to listen too 

Old behaviour had shuffle button inside each genre, new update has removed that and continue listening section no longer has genres as selectable

### 5/5 — The best Jellyfin music client

*2026-08-07, version v1.0.13*

Manet is sleek, stable, and easy to use. The Mac app is awesome too and very worth the cheap subscription to support development. It should get much more attention from the self-hosting community.

### 5/5 — Great Jellyfin Music Client

*2026-08-07, version v1.0.12*

The best one I could find. Has car play support, and looks great. Occasionally unexpected behavior with downloads not playing but otherwise flawless.

### 5/5 — Functional and beautiful

*2026-08-06, version v1.0.12*

I’m new to the Jellyfin ecosystem, and mostly wanted a way to host and listen to my own music library. Manet fit the bill perfectly. The interface is Apple-native on both mobile and desktop. It supports creating playlists, offline downloads, CarPlay, and many features I have yet to discover. The free version works perfectly on mobile, and it’s well worth the yearly subscription for desktop use!

### 4/5 — Great Jellyfin Music App

*2026-08-04, version v1.0.12*

I’ve been searching for a full featured Jellyfin music app to replace plex amp and this does just about everything I need. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that I’ve encountered an issue with CarPlay mode where the Album art doesn’t consistently display properly. That is, it’s missing entirely for almost every song. But using the app in my phone the album art is shown just fine.

Would love to troubleshoot that with the developer if possible because it could be an issue with my configuration.

In this release there is also a big database migration (moving from CoreData to GRDB for those who are interested) which should help with stability going forwards since I've had many threading issues with CoreData.

This means that this release has a lot of changes in it, which hopefully you'll never notice - but if you do please be patient as I think this is the correct move for the project but we may run into some migration pain.

I'll try my best to resolve issues as soon as I learn about them.
