Downloads are fixed
UPDATE: The upgraded native player has significantly improved the download support! There is still a small lag when opening the downloads section if there are many downloaded videos, but playback seeking works great now.

I appreciate this app as an alternative to the barely-there download feature in the official Jellyfin app. I only used Streamyfin for downloading, and there are several serious bugs there. I’m sure they will be fixed soon, but just reviewing them here since they eventually completely blocked me from using the app when I was on the go. The download process itself is smooth and allows you to set your own bitrate which is great. Subtitles are only baked in, there’s no option for using a separate subtitle track - maybe an iOS player limitation? The problems begin when playing back content. If you exit a video partway through and then try to seek to the same spot again, the app gets stuck and hangs for minutes or forever. Clicking through the download menus takes very long to load the next page. And if you download too many videos, you are completely blocked from playing one because the app becomes unable to handle playing any of the downloaded videos. Thanks to the developers for providing this app, I hope to revisit it someday when the download feature is more stable.

Best Jellyfin app
By far the absolute best and most polished app for Jellyfin available on iOS. Downloads work like a charm, I can’t even say that about Plex.
New update fixed the issues
So I had an issue where the option to sort by area was not working I tried everything and nothing. I also had the issue were I tried to enter my log in credentials and it did nothing. Only way to login was using the quick connect.
Another issue was sometimes it would stream the video twice at the same time so it overlapped, not always but sometimes.
As up today, 10/6/2026, after the new update it seemed to fix these issues. Only time will tell but thanks for the update

Excellent Jellyfin client
Streamyfin is an excellent client for Jellyfin. The interface is clean and fast, and it does exactly what I need. There is a bug I keep hitting where the video keeps playing but it’s no longer possible to access the controls or get back to the menu. Once that gets fixed, it’s a 5 star app for sure.
Great app but
Why am I not allowed to change the “sort by” section and also sometimes i click login and it does nothing I have to close the app a handful of times and sometimes it works
Can’t log in
Was my fav Jellyfin client, but all of a sudden I’m unable to even log in to my server, log in button isn’t working. Please fix this
Pretty good, has some bugs
Search brings up a black screen. Can’t seem to select filters. No way to view extra content (like behind the scenes). Other than that works great!
Best for Jellyfin on IOS 26
Best viewer for Jellyfin on IOS 26, especially considering the Jellyseerr integration which is free (unlike other apps) however on 27 there is a bug where search and favourites do not work, you can fix it via side-loading the latest changes on the GitHub, however it has not been released on here yet.

Bug report
After recent update tapping search no longer brings up search page or seer, also after tapping search icon causes app be unresponsive, have to close out app completely in order to regain ability to watch media on library or home pages. Currently on iPhone 17 pro max iOS 27
Great app
Everything about this app is amazing - it has a great UI and is very fast and intuitive.
Edit - This issue has nothing to do with Streamyfin, it was an error on my end, I've fixed it and updated the review to 5 stars.

Just missing a few things
I wish this could be a full on replacement for the jellyfin app but you currently can’t do much editing can’t join a watch party and can’t access your dashboard
For everything else though it’s amazing and is a far better UX UI than the default jellyfin app, the seer integration is amazing aswell

Great features but there are some serious bugs
I love the chromecast support and the download functionality but the player ui always disappears after using picture in picture, requiring you to close the app, and sometimes the app doesn’t launch, just shows a splash screen with the logo
app doesn't work without network
this app doesn't work without network rendering the core functionality of downloading series for holiday useless
great
nice app, but I wish the playback controls would disappear after a while, instead of having to tap again. They also reappear when automatically playing the next episode of a series, which is a bit more of an annoyance.

Great but which network was handled differently
Overall decent design. The thing that makes me not love it, is that for local network access to work, you have to enable location instead of just providing a local address the server would be available at. Finamp does this for Jellyfin music and it works beautifully. Other than that I’m really liking this open source player. Thanks for your hard work

Useless
Couldn’t even login, the button is non-functional. Not much good if I can’t log in.
Ideas are great, but execution is poor
After testing all the Jellyfin clients for iOS recently, I have to say this is the worst in terms of being an actual working product. All the features are present on paper, but cannot be relied upon to work. For example, downloading a long running series (circa 150 episodes) will lead to the app being totally unusable. Even basic stuff like interface elements not guaranteed to work! I’m really not sure why this app gets so much praise.

Great UI, but one terrible flaw on tvOS
While I love the player when it works for jellyfin, the app constantly signs you out of your jellyfin server randomly after a while. Tried clearing caches and reinstalling but same behaviour- makes it unusable unfortunately and made me move to plezy instead.
