Ratings and reviews

Phone usage for about 4 years in now, I really only use it for admin functions when I'm not next to server, but when I used it as a client didn't have any problems. Devs have done a good job. For roku app its been 7 years across 5 clients, I don't think I've had more than 1 issue that was the app driven, usually that server is needing a reboot, although roku wifi is sensitive. Amazon stick client has had issues, but it is a remote location, and I believe all were solely upload speed issues.

I love Jellyfin on my computer and TV, but this app is really buggy. It has trouble choosing the correct language if there are multiple choices, and it doesn't change even when you manually select the other language (it shows that it does, but still plays the other track). On top of that, Live TV often cuts out randomly, even though I'm at home on stable internet. This does not occur on the PC, Roku, or Fire stick. Please fix this app!

My favorite open source project. But the app has an aggravating flaw. When using from locations with bad connection, the client will send you back to the server selection screen, even if you've pre-buffered part of the content. To resolve, you need to connect again, and rebuffer the same media. On limited plans, or when paying by the gigabyte, it can become very expensive to use the app in areas with spotty coverage. Also no way to DL lower quality media for offline playback in similar scenarios
