What's New in NaviFin

1.2.4

October 3, 2026

Requests through your own Jellyseerr, Picture in Picture for MKV files, and a music section rebuilt from the ground up. REQUESTS Connect your Jellyseerr server in Settings, Insights & Services, and sign in with your Jellyfin account. Discover is the whole Jellyseerr page: trending, popular and upcoming films and series, genres, studios and networks, each with its own list. A title you do not have can be requested from its page, with every season, a single season or a whole collection, plus server, quality and folder for accounts allowed to pick them. Search shows titles your library lacks. Your sign-in renews itself. None of this appears until you connect a server. PICTURE IN PICTURE An MKV with common video and audio is repacked by your server without re-encoding and plays on Apple's player, which brings Picture in Picture on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. An MP4 with MP3 audio plays with sound and in Picture in Picture too. The badge before Play says when a file is repacked. MUSIC Album, artist and playlist pages, the playback bar and Now Playing follow a new, cleaner design. A playlist opens its own page from Home and every library. A new switch opens Now Playing when you press play. APPLE TV Round and capsule buttons get a focus ring that follows their shape. No white plate on a focused button. Skip Intro no longer flashes after you resume. ALSO Downloaded films keep their subtitles. The video picture keeps moving after you return to the app on iPhone and iPad. A title with several versions shows Choose Version on iPhone.

User reviews

So smoooooth!

This app is the best Jellyfin client I’ve tried so far. It is so much smoother than Swiftfin and so worth the $7. Thank you for making quality software (this and NaviBeat).

Can’t wait to see it get better

This app has potential since it’s from the same dev as Navibeat! It’s still buggy and there’s no seerr integration yet but i can’t wait to see it get better

App doesn’t actually work

Just get a black screen when I try to stream live tv.

Response from developer

Sorry about that. I cannot see your setup from here and I would rather find the cause than guess at it, so here is the fastest route. In Settings, open About, then Troubleshooting: the app prepares a log and takes out your server address, your user name and your access token before anything is written. Send it to support@navifin.app together with the device you used and the tuner or provider behind your Live TV, and I will work it from there. I answer that address myself, and new builds go out most days.

Best Jellyfin App

I had looked around for a Jellyfin app when I first moved to Jellyfin on my server and there was not much around. However I recently found NaviBeat for my Navidrome server and noticed this app.

Not only is it a fantastic app in it’s own right, the dev responsible for it has a brilliant approach to pricing, with an extremely value for money one off charge, not the completely unrealistic subscription fee that so many others seem to expect these days.

They also responded very promptly to a suggestion I made for the app as well.

If only all iOS devs were this good!

Response from developer

Thank you, that is generous. The one off price stays: you buy the app once and that is the whole deal. Development is running hard right now, with new beta builds most days, and the Apple TV, iPhone, iPad and Mac versions ship on the same build number, so a fix lands on every screen at once. Suggestions keep making it into the app, so please keep sending them to support@navifin.app.
