    Please stop asking to rate on the App Store after I have paid for the full version. Awesome app but very annoying. I don’t want to rate!
  • Great performer

    Best out there for the job
  • Love the Activity Monitor

    Love the layout & extra details that the activity monitor shows vs dash
  • Just works, and works great

    I tried the Tautulli app for iOS as well as Plex Dash, but nothing works better than Varys. No need to figure out port forwarding or anything you just have to connect to your servers and it shows the relevant information.
  • Great for managing server

    I use this multiple times a day and it’s a must-have app for me. I’m happy to buy a coffee for the dev to keep the development going. It’s the fastest and most reliable Plex server manager on the market. Keep up the great work!
  • Great App

    Great monitoring app. Love that you can simultaneously use Ppex and Tautulli as data sources and add multiple servers.

    Some of the UI flow in regards to navigating between shows/seasons/episodes could be improved but otherwise everything is great.

    I love having the widget on my home sceeens
  • Works well for quick and easy info

    I mainly use this as a quick look for who’s on, if anything needs maintenance or if there’s an issue.
  • Would be perfect if not for the fact that stream count notifications don’t work

    Love Tautulli and will continue to use this app, as it does have a few upgrades over the old Tautulli remote app, such as vastly improved user management. But it tries to use app notifications to communicate the number of streams running on the server, which is an awesome idea in theory as I love catching a glimpse of how many streams are running without opening the app. But in practice it falls short of the mark, and unfortunately doesn’t update anywhere remotely regularly enough to actually be useful. I often find two or three notifications on the app so I open it to see what streams are running, only to find that all streams had finished and the server is idle. This doesn’t work as intended, and it’s starting to feel a little frustrating.

    Developer Response

    Thanks for your feedback! I'm sorry but this background updating is controlled by the system, I can't enforce it or schedule it myself. Please note the hint text for this feature: The application badge will be refreshed in background. iOS will determine when and how often this will happen based on battery charge, network availability and your individual usage of the system and the app. The app cannot affect the interval, but in average the application badge should be updated every 10 to 30 minutes.
  • Very nice

    While this duplicates some features available in other apps, it does so in a visually pleasing manner. I find myself using this app more and more when I want to see what the server is up to and I really like the way server updates are presented. I’m a fan.
  • Amazing and polished

    This app is a great companion to any Plex server manger. It provides real time information about the current user in a sleek package. In addition it allows you to add an Alias to your users so you can more easily keep track of who is watching what. A great feature that Plex doesn’t offer. Highly recommended.
