I’ve tried a lot of solutions in my quest to replace Spotify with a self-hosted solution for my media library, and Dee Jellie has blown everything else out of the water. It’s more stable, performant, feature-complete, easy to set up, and flexible than anything else I’ve tried. The developer seems to really care and provides frequent updates to the app, which is great to see when so many other options are closed source one-and-done clients with broken and missing features.The only reason I haven’t given the app 5 stars is that with all of the new features, especially lately, the UI has become a little bit bloated and slow. Searching, for example, currently gives me four bars along the bottom of the screen stacked atop each other- a category selection and search button, a now playing bar, a search bar, and a search category filter bar, with mixed theming and sizing. Typing to search is so slow that there are often several seconds between keypresses, making it very frustrating to perform searches for longer names. Indexing the media collection on my server comprising of ~2000 tracks across ~500 artists takes nearly 10 minutes, and the app often crashes halfway through the refresh- though thankfully progress appears to save and so it will complete on reopening. A lot of this might be my fault for having a large, relatively unorganized media collection, but it’d be nice to see some performance improvements in future updates. Perhaps the addition of an optional server-side plugin to proactively index media similar to how Infuse works could solve a lot of these problems.
Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback! Performance should be much better in 2026.07.3, which addresses bugs affecting certain libraries after adding support for multimedia, not just music.
Great app but has issues
ASMNESS
TLDR: The app has performance issues. Lagging constantly and some UI bugs. Otherwise it’s an app I want to like and use but had to stop using it at one point. It’s feature complete with widgets, customization, and achievements of all things.So far with the little time I had with it so far (about 4 hours) it’s the best Jellyfin app by far. Better than the actual Jellyfin web interface, especially for music. It has a lot of detail and feels great to use. Though, at times, there was some stuttering and I had a couple crashes with the app but after reinstalling it again worked fine. I also did have some trouble with syncing with my Apple TV. Such as adding music to a playlist and getting my Apple TV Now Playing to sync with my iPhone within the app but did show it in the control center and was able to control the music there. Overall would recommend so far. I can’t appreciate the work that went into it enough. Oh and the achievements are a nice touch.Edit: Many Many months later. I had to stop using it at one point because the lag was unbearable and had to knock the rating down a bit for that. I haven’t used it since even after writing this edit. I have noticed that it has been making playlists for me every week I think and I really like that a lot. Since I have thousands of music and more to come.

Thanks for the feedback! Performance should be much better in 2026.07.3, which addresses bugs affecting certain libraries after adding support for multimedia, not just music. Daily Mixes are made locally, on device, from your library as well as Smart Mixes that give you the option to regenerate weekly, happy to hear you enjoy that!
CarPlay crash
markymark173
Bought mostly to have car play integration for my Jellyfin library, but when opening the app via car play it crashes. The other features look promising but hopeful to have CarPlay fixed soon.
Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback! It would be helpful if you could send a debug log from the bottom of the menu after a crash, as this does not occur on my end and has not been reported yet.
My new favorite jellyfin app!
Charchola

- Optimized background tasks during playback for better efficiency during longer listening sessions.
- Fixed an issue where crossfade-enabled playback could repeat a track by crossfading into the current song at the end.

- General bug fixes and performance improvements.
