### 5/5 — Great for its Simplicity

*2026-06-21, version 1.8.2*

Love this app, it’s got a clear focus and super simple operation. A worthy companion for your media setup

### 2/5 — Doesn’t integrate with Sable properly

*2026-06-21, version 1.8.2*

Linking Ruddarr with Sable isn’t working for me. When clicking “integrate sable”, it takes me to the App Store for sable.

### 5/5 — Great, no intrusive premium offers

*2026-06-11, version 1.8.2*

Honestly just an awesome software, it’s intuitive, and does what it needs to with no bloat. The only in app purchase they have makes absolute sense and isn’t shoved in your face at all

### 5/5 — Incredible app for free!

*2026-06-09, version 1.8.2*

The Sonarr and Radarr websites suck on mobile. The fact that this app is free and works so well is so incredible. Thanks to the dev for creating an incredible app that not only feels amazing, but works amazing too.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Tool

*2026-06-06, version 1.8.2*

Been using rudarr for close to like a year I think? And I swear I’m using it every single day. It’s so much easier than using the sonarr/radarr interface on mobile. Genuinely an AMAZING app

### 5/5 — Works incredibly well

*2026-06-01, version 1.8.2*

The best kind of app - it makes life easier on the go and it just works

### 5/5 — Easy as pie

*2026-05-19, version 1.8.2*

I am not any good with electronics and this is the easiest thing to use.  You have your movie downloaded in no time and movies that aren’t available yet this app will monitor and then download it for you saving you time from going back and forth to see when it is available to download!   I recommend this to anyone who’s looking  for a good movie to watch of your choice. Literally at your fingertips!

### 5/5 — Exactly what was needed

*2026-05-14, version 1.8.1*

Are we sure this app didn’t come out of Cupertino? It’s perfectly designed. The fact it’s open source is icing on the cake. It’s the best iOS sonarr client I’ve tried.

### 5/5 — Search filtered results button

*2026-05-09, version 1.8.1*

I believe a button should be added for searching filtered results

### 5/5 — Love it, very reliable and fast

*2026-05-05, version 1.8.1*

Excellent app, any plans to support lidarr? Please do:(

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-04-07, version 1.8.0*

I was using LunaSea for a while, but I’m glad I have this a shot. The app has easier navigation and has a newer design language. Thank you for your work on this! I also paid the life time subscription to support the developer.

### 5/5 — FOR FREE?!

*2026-04-04, version 1.8.0*

Simply fantastic. Makes grabbing your favorite stuff as easy as using the iTunes Store. There could be improvements here and there, but the overall polish is just top tier!

### 5/5 — The Best

*2026-03-30, version 1.8.0*

Exactly what I'm looking for

### 5/5 — Incredible app

*2026-03-07, version 1.8.0*

Makes my life so much easier

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-03-01, version 1.8.0*

Extremely polished and enjoyable app, has filled the hole left by LunaSea nicely!

### 5/5 — Just works

*2026-02-28, version 1.8.0*

This app just works, everything you need with a nice and intuitive UI!

### 5/5 — Thank you! Merci!

*2026-02-27, version 1.8.0*

Really great work so far! Simple. Fast. Elegant. Great companion app to the arrs. Merci beaucoup+++

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Cannot add any media, browsing works fine.

*2026-08-02, version 1.8.5*

Always get a decoding error when trying to add a TV Show or Movie. Looking over the GitHub at others will the same issue, the general consensus is “it’s a you problem, not our end” so yeah. Restarting the app, fresh install, deleting all instances… nothing fixes the error for me.

### 1/5 — Developer is rude

*2026-07-08, version 1.8.4*

Half of the features don't work and when you reach out to the developer he gives you rude and smug responses.

### 1/5 — Great app, awful attitude from dev

*2026-07-08, version 1.8.4*

The app itself is actually great. I’ve been using it for a year or so and have never had a problem. My 1 star review is entirely because the developer has a horrible attitude. There is absolutely no reason to respond to reviews in such a negative way.

### 1/5 — Cannot Disable Troll Searching Sound

*2026-02-19, version 1.7.2*

You Cannot Disable the Troll Searching Sound

### 1/5 — Soooo slow

*2025-10-10, version 1.7.0*

Slow and laggy. Image cache seems to be an issue. App frequently acts as if it’s never loaded anything from the arrs and I have to wait. Searching to add a new item usually doesn’t load the poster. Can only search with big poster mode…. Why should I have to click each possible item and open it to see if it’s the right movie. Luna works so much faster and has no support. This is not a viable replacement yet.

Update: seems developer believes their app is perfect and issues are based on financial status. How classist of you.

### 1/5 — Soooo slow

**Developer response:** lol sounds like this person is too broke for fast internet blames it on an app...

### 1/5 — Future Plans?

*2025-09-22, version 1.6.1*

Are there any plans to add support for Lidarr? Or a browse option to search for new movies/shows without needing to search for a name?

Edit: Lowered the rating because the developer doesn't “answer support questions in 4-star reviews.”

### 1/5 — connection failed -failure

*2025-08-06, version 1.6.0*

keep getting error no internet connection despite internet connection.

EDIT: Problem exists with the app. The issue is when using https and self signed certificate. The app does not prompt to trust the certificate like Safari or Chrome but fails to connect with misleading and unhelpful error message ("No internet connection")
- just like developer response.

### 1/5 — Forget it

*2025-07-29, version 1.6.0*

This app requires a subscription for notifications citing ‘costs’ even though browser notifications run without a server… And the developer wants to criticize people leaving 4 star reviews? Lunasea, while unmaintained still runs perfectly flawlessly, and it doesn’t come with passive/aggressive responses from its developer. Hard pass, one star. The browser interface for the apps is better. You simply open the browser to radarr or sonarr and share it to your home screen as an app, voila! No passive aggressive responses!

### 1/5 — No idea how good it is.

*2025-06-26, version 1.6.0*

Can’t seem to get it working through a combination of NGINX Proxy Manager and Authentik authentication no matter what combination of authentication or headers I add. There doesn’t seem to be any documentation for forward auth setup either, unless that’s all locked away behind their Discord server.
Edit: The developer’s response is most likely correct, but unnecessarily hostile, so I’ve reduced my rating.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — This app does what everyone else is scared to do.

*2026-08-20, version 2.0.0*

:)

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-08-13, version 1.8.5*

Honestly the best way to manage Radarr and Sonarr

### 5/5 — Worth every penny for premium

*2026-08-08, version 1.8.5*

But the free tier is also excellent for basic needs

### 5/5 — home lab

*2026-07-25, version 1.8.5*

absolutely phenomenal app. love how the paid version is not required for nearly every feature. thinking about buying it just to support this awesome dev

### 5/5 — Wish there was an Apple TV version

*2026-07-22, version 1.8.5*

Love this app for both Radarr and Sonarr. My experience so far has been seamless and it’s so good to have a polished mobile first interface to manage my media server. An Apple TV app would be the ultimate feature for this app.

### 5/5 — Makes managing media so easy

*2026-07-22, version 1.8.5*

A single agreegator for Sonarr and Radarr that is well designed and super helpful. I can add new movies, tvshows, trigger a search, delete media all in one app.

### 5/5 — Really polished app.

*2026-07-22, version 1.8.5*

I have a fully automated media stack with Sonarr and Radarr. I’ve tried quite a few alternatives, but this is by far the most polished and functional. I use it to ‘keep tabs’ on what’s happening all the time. Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-08, version 1.8.4*

Thanks for all the hard work you put into this for us!

### 5/5 — Works great

*2026-07-02, version 1.8.3*

Works exactly as advertised

### 5/5 — I like

*2026-06-29, version 1.8.3*

Cool, intuitive app.
