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 ### 3/5 — Doesn’t work. *2025-11-04* Recent iOS updates require you to allow local traffic under settings > apps > Ombi. Otherwise you’ll need to purchase a domain. **Developer response:** If you are using a local IP address then yes. But you can easily use some sort of free dynamic dns if you want a domain ### 2/5 — Unusable *2025-09-17, version 2.18.2* Deleted soon after installing. Ombi mobile webpage is much more responsive and usable, although formatting is done better on the app, it is unusable. Some elections become unclickable/unselectable after another selection has been made until you restart the app. After needing to restart the app multiple times due tot the above issue, it became obvious it’s not something I can use yet. I’ll give it a go again in a year or two, if I’m still using OMBI. ### 3/5 — Broken now *2025-06-14, version 2.18.2* Used to work great, request all eps no longer works. Ui just sit there and spins. Request latest season doesn’t work. Disappointed as it used to be reliable. ### 2/5 — Too Buggy *2024-07-22, version 2.17.6* Cons • Refuses to load certain portions of the app: Recently Requested, and Popular Movies • Needs several hard (full close) reloads before items populate • UX is a bit clunky (hard to navigate) and counter-productive: I am not provided the quality profiles I have on Radarr/Sonarr, I have to select from the predefined ones in the app ———— Pros • Connects to server as advertised • Gives decent recommendations that seem related to my library • Easy to add media (except the UX bullet point) ### 2/5 — Missing 4K alt request option *2024-06-20, version 2.17.6* Missing the ability to choose between a secondary (alternate) request server for movies. For when multiple request end points are available and segregated by something like resolution. ### 3/5 — Bonne appli *2024-03-23* Merci pour cette application, par contre, il manque une grosse option pour moi. Lorsque l’on clique sur la fiche acteur, nous sommes dirigé vers sa Filmographie (comme sur la web application)w La rien, c’est vraiment dommage. ### 3/5 — Http not an option for server url *2024-03-16, version 2.17.0* Same as title, this was working and recent update has broken my connection. Router management lives on https so that’s not an option ### 4/5 — Good but could be better *2023-10-01, version 2.15.0* The App by itself accomplish the gol. However, could be better!! Adding options to see more public gave ratings like imdb or Rotten Tomatoes will be awesome. ### 4/5 — Web UI working perfectly *2023-09-16, version 2.15.0* App freezes when trying to download a full season. Probably have to download individual epidodes Update to original review, not working at all only the web version ### 4/5 — Fait (très bien) le job *2023-07-02* L’app fait complètement le job, l’interface est plutôt simple - assez épurée. De ce point de vue là, c’est super chouette. Par contre, on ne retrouve aucune fonctionnalité qui n’est pas dans l’interface Web… Et c’est dommage de ne pas avoir plus d’option de personnalisation de l’interface. ### 3/5 — Meh *2023-06-13, version 2.14.0* Works okay. Kind of buggy for being a paid app. ### 3/5 — Great app But notifications gone crazy *2023-05-12* App works great but with last updates the notifications gone crazy. I get every push notification 3 times (!) Randomly i get the notification even more, up to 6 times (!!). Great App - 5 starts if you fix the spamming ❤️ ### 4/5 — Great app *2023-03-29, version 2.14.0* This app is a great addition to my set of tools to manage media. Only thing it’s missing seems to be the music requesting like we can do on the web version if lidarr is setup ### 3/5 — Let me review the app *2022-11-07, version 2.12.2* Getting spammed for a review everytime I do something is hella annoying. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2022-06-18, version 2.12.2* Like other reviewers have said, a little tricky to set up and first. Once you have got past the set up, it’s a amazing app. Jump up on the discord if your struggling, the author is very helpful. ### 3/5 — If you want a review so bad, make the app amazing *2022-06-05, version 2.10.1* If I have to press ‘not now’ every time I request something it’s going to annoy me. I’m ok with being asked to review but not from the second I BUY the app! But this is a good app it’s easy to set up and works well with minimal techy knowledge needing to be know when attaching this to your OMBI server ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Paid and now can’t log in. *2024-12-05, version 2.17.6* Scam. I can’t use the app at all. I still have to log in through the website. I’m on iOS and can’t use the iOS app at all. I get failed log in every time. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-08-29, version 2.17.6* I got it but it keeps saying wrong server version. I paid for this and it doesn’t work rip ### 1/5 — Junk *2024-05-02* Buggy and useless **Developer response:** If you are having issues please feel free to reach out to me tidusjar@gmail.com There are a lot of users having no issues so I should be able to identify any issues. Thanks ### 1/5 — Quality/language profiles *2022-01-05, version 2.8.0* I have just purchased the app and I have to say that I am quite disappointed with how it works. There is not option to choose the desired quality and language profile when adding a new request. This is a must-have in my book and this is why I do not recommend wasting money on this app. At this moment this app has no use to me. At least not until it gets fixed. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-10-07, version 2.5.0* It will not connect to my server. Useless. ### 1/5 — Schrott *2020-12-26* Letzte müll. Login klappt nicht **Developer response:** The app has now been completed reworked! Please let me know what you think! ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2020-12-06, version 1.7* Downloaded the app, almost upgraded but after testing for few hrs it's hit and miss, logging in using web interface is pointless. Why not just use web interface since already there. I don't mind paying but the app is not worth anything ### 1/5 — Login Issues *2020-11-01, version 1.7* Unable to login if you use Plex to login with. This makes connecting to the server and the program unusable. ### 1/5 — Plex OAuth Support? *2020-07-22, version 1.7* I’m using Plex OAuth support in my ombi install and I can’t seem to login to this app. Happy to change my review, but as of right now I can’t login at all. I’ve tried manually setting a password for the admin account, but it appears that with OAuth enabled, it overrides the manual password. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2020-07-14, version 1.7* I am able to login via safari, but when I put the same IP/port and user info in the app it returns an error message. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing!!! *2026-02-17, version 2.22.1* Just makes things so simple, when at home or on the road I can always respond to requests from my family can’t say enough great things. Thank you ### 5/5 — Works *2026-01-22, version 2.22.1* Recent iOS updates require you to allow local traffic under settings > apps > Ombi. Otherwise you’ll need to purchase a domain. ### 5/5 — Très bonne application mais peu de marche de manœuvre *2024-11-12* L’application est top, mon seul regret est de ne pas pouvoir contribuer publiquement, de même il manque de la traduction française, alors que cela est déjà disponible dans le repository git hub ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-11-02, version 2.17.6* Best app on App Store ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2024-10-21* I don’t know how I survived without Ombi in the past! It ties in so nicely with my Plex library and family members can stop bothering me with requests! Truly magical software. I love it! ### 5/5 — Sweet *2024-06-06, version 2.17.6* Great app ### 5/5 — Best App Ever! *2024-01-15, version 2.15.0* I love the last update that now lets you easily add just the first or latest season! Thank you for the quality update! Much appreciated! ### 5/5 — Top App *2023-09-20* Genial.Läuft einwandfrei bei mir und meinen Verwandten. ### 5/5 — Great App *2023-05-25, version 2.14.0* Thank you for building this app, it really is a better experience than the mobile webpage. The one feature that I miss in the current app is the ability to search for music. Other than that it is already great! ### 5/5 — Works good *2023-02-26, version 2.12.2* Good app and best way to support ombi --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
