I’ve been using Swiftfin for a while. It’s very much an alpha product. I don’t want to pressure the devs though. They’re volunteers releasing something nice for free. All the other apps in the space are paid or even subscription based. Ugh!
The big update is coming soon. They've been working on it for a long time now. Its in the final stretch and should hopefully be in TestFlight soon.
Infuse has a paid tier but their free tier will satisfy the needs of most people.
That’s only if your files are in the right codec. When my files work it’s great but most of my media just results in it showing the upgrade screen.
