This app has its kinks to iron out but the support to work around these issues is super. If you like self hosting your own jellyfin but want support for your players give phyn a go.
Abysmal

Jellyfin is great. Using it on iOS? Not so great. There’s a native client app for it, but it only supports Movies and TV shows, which means I need a separate app for music. That served me good, but now I’ve gotten into ebooks, which means I need another. Here’s where Phyn comes in. Got it setup and start reading my book. Great, it works, user interface is attractive. Come back, and I get a paywall. Come back again, and it starts the book all over, an I have to flip through hundreds of pages since the table of contents, which works on the web app, doesn’t work. Rinse repeat. Even if these “features” are premium, it’s a subscription or an extremely high one time purchase. If I wanted to pay a subscription to read books, or do anything that jellyfin does, I’d pay for a subscription service where I don’t have to provide my own content. I guess I’ll just use the web app in my browser. Abysmal.
Nice UI, a bit laggy, Premium prompts on resume

This app has a lot going for it. Nice UI. Subtitles look nice by default and are easy to resize. For me on an M2 Pro, the animation hangs every time I start playing media. Not a huge deal. It also prompts you to buy premium if you try to resume media, I’ve only been able to restart from beginning to get around that. That’s terrible and I probably wouldn’t ever support this software due to that, considering there are plenty of actually free ways to stream from one’s JF server.
Not free

Says it’s free but keeps popping up a paywall trying to do anything. Asking for a nominal fee to support development is one thing but it wants a MONTHLY fee or $50 one time. The only feature it seems to have over the official Jellyfin app is casting to chrome, which I can’t test if it even works well and am not buying a subscription just to check. Furthermore, this is built over a free, open source project. Honestly, kind of just seems like an easy cash grab.
