## FAQ

* **What is the difference between this and other Jellyfin app projects?**
  * This app (Jellyfin Mobile) is a web wrapper based on Expo with some native enhancements. It is available on the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/jellyfin-mobile/id1480192618?mt=8) for iPhone and iPad.
  * [Jellyfin Player iOS](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-client-ios) is a newer effort to create a media playback app in native Swift. It is a work in progress and currently only supports media playback.
  * [Jellyfin React Client](https://github.com/jellyfin-archive/jellyfin-react-client) an early project to create a single multiplatform app based on React Native. This project has been archived as we have changed direction to utilize native web wrappers on most platforms.
