### 4/5 — ClientID/Secret via HTTP Header

*2024-01-07, version 2023.6*

Hey. I've got a feature request. I'd love to add an additional layer of security to my selfhosted services so it would be awesome if you could implement ClientID/Secret HTTP Header support in your app.

### 4/5 — Works great!

*2023-11-22, version 2023.6*

Love this app but I was wondering if it could be better to also support Sabnzbd as well given that nzbget is now abandoned. Is this possible to support sab also?

### 4/5 — Works - eventually!

*2021-05-19, version 2021.2*

After several reinstalls then fiddling with the Windows firewall I’ve managed to get this working and now it is, it’s really good. 
Could do with some tips on connection though. Plus once it failed to connect I needed to force close the app before I could retry.

### 5/5 — Love it!!!

*2020-01-15*

I love the info it gives me on both my iPhone and iPad. Well worth the few bucks!!

### 5/5 — Great 👍

*2019-12-29, version 2019.9*

I use this app to search the indexers & download to my NZB client on my NAS. It's pretty good.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2019-10-01*

As an app developer myself I appreciate a well put together bit of software. It’s fantastic, highly recommend this app. Well done to the author, you deserve every penny.

### 4/5 — Bug avec iPadOS ?

*2019-09-30*

Marche parfaitement depuis 1 an, mais un problème est apparu depuis IPadOS 13: plus de possibilité d’interaction avec Safari, pour la récupération des fichiers Nzb téléchargés.
Une mise à jour serait la bienvenue.

### 5/5 — This is good software

*2019-09-05*

For a niche community, this is a fantastic app

### 5/5 — Perfect Companion Controller

*2019-08-23*

Impeccable design, and an absolutely perfect companion controller app.

### 5/5 — A great app!

*2019-08-03*

This app does what it says and is a part of my workflow. Of course you need the companion server running on another machine. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Very handy

*2019-06-03, version 2019.6*

This has been a very handy app for when I when sitting on the couch and have a random idea to download. Super simple, seems to be update frequently and it works.

### 1/5 — Не працює

*2026-01-16, version 2025.7*

Гамвно софт

### 1/5 — Nags you for IAP to do pretty much anything; just use the web interface

*2025-05-20*

I downloaded this considering the lifetime license as I don't rent software, but I found the constant "this is a premium/ultra feature" pop-ups so off-putting that I felt I had to write a review. The list of what you can do is far shorter than what you can't: you can view your queue, pause/resume it (but not individual items, apparently even if you pay for it), view RSS feeds (but not fetch them) and search for NZBs. That's all, and what's worse is that it doesn't even work well — it barely actually controls nzbget, it seems the developer's attention was mostly focused on developing "premium" features like notifications.

A developer needs to prove their product is worth buying before I'm willing to buy it; this doesn't even come close. I will just use nzbget's web interface instead, it works very well in Safari and has more functionality in controlling nzbget, which this app purports to do. You have to subscribe for notifications — you don't get them if you purchase "premium" — which was my main interest for this, so not having them (even if I had bought it!) changes nothing for me.

**Developer response:** Hey,

Thanks for your feedback, Premium is a one-time, lifetime purchase for a very cheap price that unlocks pretty much everything in the app. Push notifications are a subscription as I have to pay for hosting servers to send the notifications, I also priced it as a really cheap yearly subscription that doesn't currently cover the cost of hosting.

It's been a long time since I looked at the free version of the app (the app is 10 years old now), so I'll take another look at the free version of the app and see if I can make the free feature set fairer.

Kind regards
Andy

### 1/5 — Removed a lot of features unless you pay for them

*2023-11-16*

This app used to have many functions, such as pausing, that have been removed in favor of a new “premium” subscription model. They didn’t add any value to the app, they just took away its existing functions. It’s one of the most spineless moves I’ve seen on the App Store. Garbage company, garbage support, and predatory pricing. Don’t support these people. They wouldn’t support you.

### 1/5 — Blödsinn

*2022-08-24, version 2022.5*

Wer glaubt, mit einem gültigen Usenext Account Zugang zu einem Client zu haben, liegt hier falsch. 
Hier funktioniert gar nichts….

### 1/5 — iPhone 12 Pro Max 14.7

*2021-07-16, version 2021.2*

Kann damit nichts anfangen. Nutze den Tangysoft Client mit Usenext Zugang auf dem Rechner. Hatte gehofft einen mobilen Zugang zum Netz zu bekommen um nicht immer an den PC zu müssen um zu schauen was es für neuen Content gibt… Tutorials sind auch eher semi geil.

### 1/5 — Unnötig

*2020-12-02, version 2020.3*

Kaum Mehrwert zum Web-Interface. Dazu kommen nervige, animierte Werbebanner, die sich über den Inhalt legen. Nein danke. Ist wohl ein Hobby-Projekt, das überwiegend existiert, um zu versuchen, dem Entwickler etwas Geld zu machen. Die anderen Apps von ihm scheinen leider auch eher mäßige Lösungen auf der Suche nach einem Problem zu sein.

### 1/5 — Bogue IOS13

*2019-09-20*

Suite à la MAJ sur iPhone de IOS13, les fichiers nzb ne sont plus reconnus par l’application, impossible de les importer dans l’application, même une fois téléchargés dans iCloud.

### 2/5 — Paramètrage

*2025-01-22*

Comment on le paramètre il me met error à chaque tentative 😞

### 3/5 — Purchased Restore

*2021-09-10, version 2021.2*

I can’t seem to restore my purchase. I click the restore button and it says “Premium Purchased Succesfully!”

But after that the premium features aren’t activated, tried restarting app and reinstalling. 

Please assist. (iOS 14.7.) 9,3

### 3/5 — Blank search results

*2017-10-28*

Great app I really hope you can fix the big issue.

When i add a search indexer and I've tried a few (usenet-crawler,nzbplanet, etc.)
When you browes it only shows ablank screen and No results.  I can search specific movies but I'm unable to browes.

Please fix!!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, this is an issue I'm working on for the next update.
(This Has been fixed with v2.1 )

### 5/5 — Widget

*2023-09-20, version 2023.2*

Great app, very good at doing what you would expect. 
Question for the dev, is there a plan to add widgets to home screeen rather than slide over?

### 5/5 — Thank you for the updates!

*2022-05-09, version 2022.5*
