Jellyfin Mobile is an Android app that connects to Jellyfin instances and integrates with the [official web client](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web).
We welcome all contributions and pull requests! If you have a larger feature in mind please open an issue so we can discuss the implementation before you start.
Even though the client is only a web wrapper there are still lots of improvements and bug fixes that can be accomplished with Android and Kotlin knowledge.

Most of the translations can be found in the [web client](https://translate.jellyfin.org/projects/jellyfin/jellyfin-web) since it's the base for the Android client as well. Translations for the app can also be improved very easily from our [Weblate](https://translate.jellyfin.org/projects/jellyfin/jellyfin-android) instance. Look through the following graphic to see if your native language could use some work!

This client was rewritten from scratch with a fresh git history in July to August 2020, and replaces the old Cordova-based client,
which can still be found [in the archives](https://github.com/jellyfin-archive/jellyfin-android-original).
