What's New in Open Relay

5.4.2

August 25, 2026

IMPROVEMENTS • Responses now show a notification when interrupted mid-stream (e.g. if the app was backgrounded too long), so you always know to tap back in and retry. • Channel message notifications no longer stack up as duplicates from the same person — each sender gets one banner that updates in place. • App badge now increments when responses or channel messages arrive, and clears when you tap a notification. BUG FIXES • Fixed tool call responses being dropped when a model executes multiple tools concurrently. • Fixed a bug where content could appear doubled in responses that use the structured output format. • Fixed a bug where Socket.IO connection "user-join" handshake could silently leak memory if the app was backgrounded during the 5-second acknowledgement window. • Fixed a race condition in the Socket.IO polling transport where rapid reconnects could spawn two simultaneous polling loops, causing duplicate or dropped events. • Fixed the streaming URL session not being reset when switching servers, which could send requests to the wrong server after a switch. • Fixed a bug where the same AI response could fire two separate "response ready" notification banners (one from background polling and one from foreground recovery).

Good idea, but very buggy

When I bought the app originally I was quite happy with it. The field is just developing, bugs and other issues here and there are expected. But none of the last updates did for me what they suggested they would. Streaming still breaks, thinking / reasoning is wrongly displayed or breaks the stream entirely, and entire conversations vanish. Looks like as if this app needs a proper rewrite in its streaming engine.

Response from developer

Hello, sorry to hear you are experiencing such issues. I am actively working with individuals through github fixing this as it does not happen to the majority but specific models. I myself is unable to replicate the issue hence why i have to depend on the community to help fix this for such models. Regarding your suggestion about a rewrite, its already in works and i have started breaking it down completely and hopefully building a more robust system that can cover all edge cases. Lot of the early development was focused on performance which has been obtained so reworking the streaming engine would make sense. Thank you for all the support and i look forward to getting it all fixed! Please follow github for further progress as there is an ongoing issue thread related to this.

Hands Down Best Open Web Ui

The Open Web Ui project needs to adopt this app and developer as its official mobile app. It’s always solid, the Developer is active. Takes feedback, proud supporter. Thanks mate keep up the great work.

Great Overall! Server switching bugs

I love this app, and the only reason I remove one star is I am regularly switching between a local connection and a tailscale connection. It doesn’t seem to handle switching servers regularly very well. I will switch to the server I know I can reach, it hangs trying to connect, then I must switch back and forth before restarting the app. It would be nice if you could exit the switch server page without switching servers using a (X) in the corner (since it requires you to switch a server).

Response from developer

Hello, I am glad you are enjoying the app and thank you for raising that concern. I have pushed an update to improve the multi-server experience. Feel free to open an issue on github if it does not meet your requirements and I'd be happy to help.

The best

This is under very active development. It is already great, and just getting better.

Excellent Experience vs Mobile Web

I started using this app on its early versions; and initially it didn’t have every feature I need (I use OWUI heavily; for everything) - but each time I submitted a bug report of feature request to the GitHub, a few days later it was done.

Now some months later I can confidently say I am coming to this app instead of the mobile web version every time. The developer has proven this is a long term, maintained and enhanced project, and I can recommend it to you without hesitation.
