Good

Everything seems to be good on par if not better than overseer, but I cannot request music through the Phone app and the request music on the PC does not load the meta-data correctly.

New Interface is Great

Ombi does simplify media management enormously.

Only issue with the app accessing server via Cloudflare tunnel creates a barrage of SqLite errors (not apprent with WebUI access)

This seems to affect performance

Works

Recent iOS updates require you to allow local traffic under settings > apps > Ombi. Otherwise you’ll need to purchase a domain.
