Great Player - One of the best
Zuno is a very rich media player with stability and ongoing improvements. The developer constantly listens to community feedback and requests and constantly executes!
New Plex daily driver
Zuno has become my regular Plex client of choice. Great customization features, using my library to create a live tv experience (was using ErsatzTV before but this is becoming just as good/better). The dev is responsive and iterates quickly. Great app
10+ stars!! The most premium Plex streaming experience I’ve ever used!
I’ve been using Zuno since I first heard about the project on reddit, and seeing this project grow into what it is now is outstanding!
The developer is incredibly friendly and active in his community, constantly improving and implementing new features.
This is the first app I can confidently say has replaced my Plex streaming experience on all my Apple devices!
Zuno live has become a daily use for my family as it brings back the channel surfing we lost when transitioning to streaming and solved our decision fatigue.
The setup experience is flawless and the app is customisable in such a way that it feels personal, but also intentional.
If I could rate this app higher than 5 stars I would, thank you for finally providing a streaming app that not only feels premium but personal!

Amazing Plex and jellyfin client
I’ve been following Zunos development for a while now and was part of the TestFlight. Stoked that it’s now got an official release. It’s an amazing client for playing my Plex and jellyfin media on tvOS and iOS.
Best Plex player for tvOS
Really really like the perfect integration within the whole Apple ecosystem. It Has replaced Infuse for me. Go try it you’ll love it
Fantastic Player
I’ve tried them all and this is brilliant. Connected it to Emby and Jellyfin, tested through a number of iterations and it gives so many features and functions that you wouldn’t expect from a 3rd party player. One of the very few that I kept and paid for. Dev is engaging and available. Try it, you won’t look back.

Outstanding App, Unmatched Developer.
I've used the official Plex apps for years, and Zuno is in a different league. It's a truly native Apple experience: smooth, responsive, and designed the way an Apple app should be. Everything feels right at home on the platform, from navigation to playback to the little details you only notice when someone has sweated over them. On top of that, it adds features the standard Plex apps simply don't offer, and it's clear those additions came from listening to real users rather than ticking boxes.
You can tell this app was built with love. It has personality and polish, and it's obvious that a person who cares about the experience made deliberate decisions at every turn.
That person is Nathan, the sole developer, and he's been on the ball from day one. He's put in countless hours, including time during his holiday, working on the app and talking with the community to make it the best it can be. In a world full of people who throw a few prompts into an AI and call themselves developers, that dedication means something. Nathan is the real deal, and Zuno is proof.
If you use Plex on Apple devices, do yourself a favor and download Zuno. Five stars, easily.

Fantastic Modern Frontend for Plex
I’ve been loving Zuno. It’s very modern and allows users to customize their home pages in ways plex never let you. The Zuno live channels are also a very fun and genius idea. The fact that seerr is directly integrated is AMAZING and makes requesting new shows and movies very simple.I’m looking forward to using this app more in the future and am excited to see what they have in store for Zuno Music!

Bester Client für Jellyfin!
Ich nutze Zuno seit der ersten Beta, bin also von Anfang an dabei. Ich habe alle Clients getestet und bin immer wieder zu Zuno zurückgekehrt. Es ist der stabilste und einer der hübschesten Player die es gibt. Was mich aber am meisten begeistert ist der Entwickler Nathan. Er hat Bugs super schnell behoben, hat neue Features implementiert und Zuno somit zu meinem Daily Driver gemacht. Natürlich habe ich auch Premium erworben um die Entwicklung zu unterstützen. Meiner Meinung nach ist es das Geld für eine Lifetime Lizenz absolut wert. Probiert es aus und unterstützt Nathan wenn es euch gefällt! ❤️

Best Player For Plex/Jellyfin
This is the best player i’ve experienced with constant updates, highly customisable along with a beta version you can use for paid supporters, highly recommended.
Beautiful app a+++
I love the way this app present jellyfin, new features gets added constantly, Nathan is very talented and will listen to any feedback, this is my go to media player
Good Idea, Buggy App
This app is incredibly buggy. I used it on Apple TV. It has this “play trailer” or “play video” feature when hovering over a show or movie, yet it doesn’t turn off when you actually start the content or exit the player and navigate around. The left side menu doesn’t always trigger when you want it to, I often found myself exiting the app rather than being able to back out of the video player. It didn’t display a lot of my subtitles. The player doesn’t respond to my attempts to fast forward or rewind. And the worst thing about all of this is that there’s a subscription service tied to this app. It features things like creating ready made live video channels and the overseers integration that I get charging for, but they also charge a subscription fee to watch your own videos from your own server at 4k. That I just don’t understand. The idea of the app is great. One modern Plex client that has Seerr built in, can give you that live tv stuff but with your own media, and a music app? sounds great, but this app is a buggy mess. So much so that this great idea comes crashing down

Awesome
Just got the pro version and so far I’m loving it, beautiful layout. Very smooth
App is buggy, massive features every few days
Developer has claimed to be an experienced swift developer. As a developer here it’s sorta hard to believe with the type of bugs that this app has. Users report a bug -> bug fixed -> dev drops new big update -> old bug regressions constantly.
This is a junior engineer at best who needs to own up to their development practices. Normal users don’t mind or notice occasional bugs. That’s why buggy apps are accepted. But that doesn’t make it okay when the developer charges as much as major competition with next to 0 regression testing. If you’re going to code with AI at least understand regression testing and build out a real framework with your robot of choice.

Response from developer
Hello there, Sorry to hear you’re having issues, your review was sent based on the pre-release version of the app and I suggest you update. Many bug fixes come with every update. I’m sure you’ll understand that an application like this that supports multiple different platforms, supporting various different environments, networks/media servers etc., brings various bugs that may not be present within other environments. I’d love for you to let me know the issues you’re experiencing either via the support section of the app or by emailing support@zunoplayer.app so I can help.
Incredibly painful setup experience
Final update:
Stuck at “No Libraries Found” on AppleTV, no way to navigate to Settings. Delete and reinstall didn’t fix.
Update: and now plex with some random IP that’s not on my network and no way to delete it. Library appears as empty despite saying connected — no idea how to fix this
Unlike many of its competitors, initial setup to discover media server is… frustrating, very frustrating. Apple TV feels like a third class citizen, and when I finally got around to putting it on my phone while remote, it fails to recognise or auto discover.
Here I am nearly the full way through the free trial and I’ve barely had a chance to use it.
Was keen on a lifetime sub, but I’m highly put off.

Awesome
Only complaint is that marking shoes and movies doesn’t work for me. But amazing otherwise
Buggy mess
This app is extremely buggy. The dev claims they only use AI for tab completion but then shops features extremely quickly. They are not bug tested. Additionally, the seerr integration shows content that is inappropriate for children on children’s profiles. Unacceptable.
Developer needs to dogfood features
Too many features too quickly and the developer hasn’t written enough functional tests to actually ensure they’re even near bug free. May be relying on people to report bugs instead. Feels like a rushed App Store release.
top alternative to plex native
up front, you can tell this is still a work in progress. but also that it’s a passion project. this fills gaps left by the current plex native app, but also by the new plex experience app, and by infuse (as the common alternative). it marries the modern feel of the new plex experience, the technical prowess of infuse, the simplicity of the current plex app, and the customization of old school video apps. can’t wait to see it grow and keep getting better!

AMAZING!
Truly a breath of fresh air! After plex downfall this player made me fall in love with self-hosting once again. From scrobbling, media playback to syncing watchlist across devices it truly is one of a kind for apple devices. The app dev Nathan, listen to feedback and always bring new features. 5/5 for me, give it a shot!
