I use the Android and Android TV apps. They're fine overall, but have a few usability issues. Main problem is the lack of offline mode. You can download stuff to your device but then have to hunt down the file and manually play it like a caveman.
I use the Android app, and yeah, I wish you could download and play like on commercial streaming apps. It's not just the hunting down of the file, but also the remembering how much of the episode you've watched when part way through, and having Jellyfin know that you've watched the episode so the play next is right.
After making this comment I looked for alternative clients. I came across Findroid, it's a little rough around the edges but the core functionality is here, and downloading/offline mode seem to work fine!
Nice, thanks! I'll check it out.
