I’m glad that this gives me more control over my Docker stack (even though the Lidarr support is severely lacking). My ultimate gripe is about how difficult it is to set up due to not being able to switch apps to copy and paste. In order to set up an instance you need your IP and API key. I don’t know about you, but I don’t have those memorized. This app will clear any data you’ve input when going to say your web browser to grab your API key. It’s frustrating and annoying. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-25, version 2.4.0* Glad I found this. No more using a cluster of webapps… this just has everything in it. ### 5/5 — Essential app *2026-06-27, version 2.4.0* I use this app every day. It makes a lot of tasks so simple and easy. Every update adds meaningful enhancements. ### 4/5 — Pretty great *2026-06-25, version 2.4.0* I went ahead and bought the app because it seemed to be solid (and so far it is) BUT part of using these tools is to be able to see rating etc. with Lidarr you can’t see ratings etc so please add this feature. I still find myself needing to go into the browser a lot ### 5/5 — Very very impressed *2026-06-21, version 2.4.0* Honestly this app does everything. I have been able to delete 4 web apps and an ssh client because of this app. Everything just works. Somehow it is able request shows using seerr faster than doing it on the web page. On top of this they even let you buy a perpetual license and a reasonable price. Only two things I think they could improve on. Easily transfer your profile/settings to another iOS device like an iPad. Currently it looks like you need to set everything up again manually. They do not have an android app. ### 5/5 — An Essential App for Managing Your Server *2026-06-16, version 2.4.0* I have tried a few different apps but this one is by far the most feature rich and easy to use over all the others. You can tell the developer cares and knows what they are doing vs. the constant release of inexperienced AI generated apps on the store. Looking forward to the future but I think this almost has everything I need. The one wish I have is for the seer service is that it would be easier to approve/disapprove requests without needing to click into each one. Maybe have swipes left/right or the buttons right there in the feed would be great. ### 5/5 — Yo *2026-06-15* Cool software. Ggs ### 2/5 — Lacking. *2026-06-08, version 2.4.0* This app is great for an overview of your setup, but it’s lacking in several areas when it comes to actually managing it. ### 5/5 — Fait avec amour *2026-06-07* C’est vraiment fait à la perfection. On sent la dedication du développeur. ### 3/5 — Great mostly *2026-05-30, version 2.4.0* This app is great. Many services are supported in it an it makes everything feel clean. That said the price is a bit steep. ### 5/5 — I never leave reviews *2026-05-20, version 2.4.0* But I have to show my appreciation. Helmarr makes managing the Rs I run so much easier and conveniently. It’s nearly magical. Worth every penny for pro. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-18, version 2.4.0* Moved from android and missed having an app like this. Beta tested this app and once it became available it was an easy purchase. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-05-18, version 2.4.0* Easy Install, great integration with Arr stacks and the UI is easy to get around . Using Tailscale to connect remotely to NAS with Helmarr and it’s flawless. Worth the $50aud ### 5/5 — Continues to amaze me *2026-05-16, version 2.4.0* This app continues to amaze me as the single all in one best platform for monitoring Arr+, the addition of Plex Monitor reduces idle load on my server because I don’t have to run Tautulli now. I love the ability to see system specs using SSH and if there was anything to add, maybe some more details over SSH like temp, add more than one network adapter, and hide system partitions to clean up the UI a little better. Also changing the name of the operating system because it reads incorrectly. Other apps see Ubuntu 26.04 but this one reads it as the Kernel for Linux 7.0.0 instead of the OS. ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2026-05-12* As an iOS engineer I’m very happy to use this app, the app is very clean, modern and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Flippn heck, this is good *2026-05-12, version 2.4.0* Get this, get pro (free for up to 2 services), just get pro anyway cos damn, this good ### 5/5 — Mad respect 🗿🫡 *2026-05-03, version 2.4.0* Replaced 3 or 4 apps I use, with a higher quality, and great design. Thank you dev!!! I only wish you add support for more Unraid functionalities, like deleting containers, creating API keys… ### 5/5 — Really well designed and useful manager for self hosted media server *2026-05-02, version 2.4.0* This has been one of the best additions to my media server stack. One unified UI to manage my self hosted server from anywhere is really nice to have. It’s clear the dev put a lot of love into this ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Everything changed *2026-08-08, version 2.5.1* Do you know what I hate? Using an app for a while, loving it, then opening it one day and it essentially being a different app. Especially when I paid $30 for it, I expect a better experience. Why is everything so different? Where do I search? Why are there items that I already disabled back on the Home Screen? And why did the dev think this was ever a good idea?? ### 1/5 — Pro Upgrade *2026-07-03, version 2.4.0* Like the app but crashes every time I try to upgrade to Pro. ### 1/5 — Extremely overpriced *2026-02-22* The dev tripled the price with no notice. **Developer response:** Reviews like yours make me genuinely sad. I work day and night on providing a high quality app for a fair price. Version 1 of Helmarr supported 2 services, the new version supports 13 different ones, with new ones being added with every update. There are 4 new services being tested on TestFlight right now, for example. Nothing got "tripled": Helmarr 2 is a completely new app with a new price to match its significantly expanded functionality. Original pro users still have their lifetime plans fully honored for being supporters of the old version. The change was announced well in advance across multiple channels, and I kept the old pricing available for an extended period so everyone had plenty of time. ### 1/5 — App requests AppleID password. *2026-02-16, version 2.3.1* Opening this app for the first time (v2.3.1) and the first thing it does is ask me to sign into my Apple account through this app. This is not coming from Apple. I am already signed into Apple on all my devices and clouds, there is no reason to provide my Apple password to this app. Regarding developer’s response: no other app does this. This is not an Apple issue. Also, other users have complained about this issue in past versions and you told each of them that it will be fixed in the next version, but then it never gets fixed. ### 1/5 — Let down by lure of free services, use Ruddarr instead! *2026-02-15, version 2.3.1* App states you get two free services, naturally you think great that’s more than enough for Radarr and Sonarr etc. Nope, they’re free to add and view but the interactive search is hidden behind a paywall. Annoyingly I just spent £5 unlocking Prowlarr integration but I’m not spending another £10 just to be able to do what I can do for free on Ruddarr, would recommend everyone else use that instead. ### 1/5 — App requests AppleID password. *2026-02-03, version 2.3.1* Opening this app for the first time (v2.3.1) and the first thing it does is ask me to sign into my Apple account through this app. This is not coming from Apple. I am already signed into Apple on all my devices and clouds, there is no reason to provide my Apple password to this app. ### 1/5 — Very overpriced *2026-01-30* Price increased 3x with no warning ### 1/5 — App prompts for Apple Account password *2025-12-30, version 2.2.0* Every time I open up this app it prompts for my Apple account password. At first I closed the prompt because there were a number of things happening, and I figured maybe there’s some iCloud integration I can work through later, but then I realized there’s none of that. I’m prompted every time I open the app. No app should ever ask for an Apple account password. I’m going to give the developer the benefit of the doubt and say it’s probably a bug that needs to be addressed and they’re simply not aware of it, but until then I’m not changing my rating. ### 1/5 — Vibe coded cash grab *2025-12-01, version 1.0.7* Somehow the irony of paywalling Arr apps who are Open Source isn’t lost on the dev. I couldn’t even delete the Radarr instance to try if Sonarr works. Use any of the free competitors instead. They even have more features like filters. ### 1/5 — Stopped working after purchasing *2025-04-11, version 1.0.7* This is a scam do not give them money ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Well done. Helmarr has solved many of my headaches *2026-08-12, version 2.5.1* I was having a hellish of a time trying to manage my home media stack until I discovered Helmarr and I have to tell you it is simple, easy to use, and it has solved most of the issues that I had with my ARR stack. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-10, version 2.5.1* This app is great it covers all the bases almost. I see you have the torrent clients in here as a snap in. Can you add resillo sync as well? I know a number of users are using Dispatcharr for IPTV. Can you integrate this as well? ### 5/5 — Everything You Need *2026-08-08, version 2.5.1* I’ve never written an app review before, but Helmarr needs one. This app is fantastic for media server managment on the go. Everything is in one place, and interacting with different services is a breeze. More granular stuff like settings within services is maybe better on a computer, but for just day to day activities it’s perfect ### 5/5 — Best one out there *2026-08-01, version 2.5.1* Easily the best of the *arr management apps. Every time I try a different one, I always come back to this. So many supported services with detailed info for each. Even manual import for Radarr/Sonarr. I barely use the default web apps anymore. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-07-31, version 2.5.1* Finally can see multiple Qbit progress in an app! ### 5/5 — Feature rich and easy to use *2026-07-30, version 2.5.1* Best app I’ve encountered for managing an Arr stack. ### 5/5 — The best app of all time. *2026-07-29, version 2.5.1* This is literally the best app ever!!! So much of the stack does not prioritize mobile web ui. No other app I have tried has so many integrations. The best spent $25 LIFETIME subscription of my life! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-07-29, version 2.5.1* Lush design. Great features (like fallback address so I can have out-of-home-VPN address and local address). Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Been using for months so had a good thorough test. ### 5/5 — Support for SSH key with passphrase *2026-07-28, version 2.5.0* Please add support for SSH key with passphrase. ### 5/5 — Extremely well made and thought out *2026-07-27, version 2.5.0* Tried this out for my Home NAS. The ability to track a few services as a trial was great to build confidence. Ended up buying the lifetime. It also convinced me to set up a tailscale so I can access the NAS via Helmarr outside my home. Great job. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
