Major Improvements
This app has gotten so much better since the previous updates. It’s become really polished and is now a perfect replacement for the jellyfin app.
No Longer Works With Stable Release of Jellyfin?
This app worked for a short while for me but now indicates that Jellyfin 12 is required while 10.11.11 is the current stable version.
Why is there a warning?
Why is there a warning that Swiftfin requires Jellyfin 12.0.0 when 12.0 is still in RC? Can we stay away from shiny new things and focus on stability? There’s TestFlight for that.
More responsive
Although missing a few important features like downloading to device, in my opinion this is a step in the right direction. It’s faster, and smoother, removes the need for multiple pages for media libraries, and allows continuous scrolling to display more media like a modern app should.
Also adds the ability to quickly switch between multiple users, and adds a way to protect users with a pin (although it could use some improvements like needing to reenter the pin after closing and reopening the app)

Great release for AppleTV
Update: latest version breaks everything. Requires Jellyfin Beta - ridiculous. Theme renders buttons unreadable in dark mode. Native player no longer shows prev/next or proper episode name. Will not queue next episode. Play button for next up says “missing”. And of course AppleTV you can’t roll back.
Performs much better, less lag, clean interface, and…settings!
Thank you.
Now if only it had a “clear cache” in the settings, and the long-awaited Music Videos category had play all/shuffle play.
I had to switch to direct play - all my videos are transcoded, and worked fine on previous version. This version requests transcode for them - to the same settings?

Why 12.0?
Why would anybody push an app update for a client that requires a currently unstable release of the server component? The app is currently not useable with a stable release jellyfin server (10.11.11)
Media download
The app is smooth and good looking. I’d like to download my media and I will be happy! 🥰
Works great
A smooth and useful UI, easy use !
Used to be great
It used to be great. Swiftfin player would go to side view automatically. Left/right swipe would set screen brightness and volume. Now it just quits player even I had it in settings. NEW PLAYER SUCKS.
iOS & Apple TV ❤️
Thank you so much für the Apple TV version update! This fixed so much problems is just a blast to use now. Mich appreciated!
App is great… WHEN it works
Latest update completely broke the whole app. Crashes instantly.
Getting decent, but why two apps still?
Compared to the Jellyfin app, I much prefer the interface and level of ‘smoothness’ that Swiftfin offers. There are a couple of quirks still, such as needing VLC player to play back Downloads, and accessing the admin dashboard isn’t quite as intuitive as it is in the normal Jellyfin app, but on the whole, I like using it.
The branding is a tad confusing though… why are there two apps? Why is this one — arguably the more refined MK2 version — not called Jellyfin? I understand the title rationale (a Swift version of Jellyfin), but it makes it feel like this newer app is an experimental bolt-on, rather than a serious replacement.
Great app, and props to the Jellyfin team for making such a great system. But there could be a few tweaks to enhance the user experience.

Selected TV show didn't go to next episode
Latest update is good. I can go to the show inside episode selecting. But when clicked on the show title, it's showing 1st episode instead of next episode.
I know I can just press play but I want it to show the next episode like previous version.

Doesn't work
It fails to load the library
Way to go further downhill
Wow: I used to have a 4-star rating and a review praising this app…but the new iteration went so far backwards that it’s almost unusable on my Apple TV. Nothing about the newest updates has been beneficial. Shows no longer auto-play the next episode (even with the setting turned on), the main page puts a line through the wallpaper for the menus below it, album artwork (which never changed) is now either changed or missing, episode names no longer show up while episodes are playing (it shows the show’s name now), and if you click to watch an episode, the first button the system highlights takes you to the series’ homepage instead of simply playing the episode! This feels like something AI wrote now as opposed to a programmer.

Great app but images not updating in latest version
When I update images in movies, the home page still has old images
Broke thumbnails
Slow, recent updates broke a lot
Perfect
Update: the developer actually listened and implemented the improvement! Thank you very much, five stars!
Original:
PLEASE let us disable the gesture for swipe up to close the video. I am constantly hitting it by accident whenever I want to change my volume or brightness and it is very annoying. It should not be this easy to close a video imo.
Other than that thanks for a great app.
