Ombi for Negative User Reviews

Not bad, but behind the web version.This isn’t a bad app, could use a bit of Polish especially when compared to the web. There is a $5 upgrade option within the app it’s self, but I can’t find what features or functionality comes with the upgrade... maybe the dev can comment?.Version: 1.7

Great Idea but.....It’s been a year and no update to improve the performance or usability issues. The mobile app costs $ but the web is free..Version: 1.7

Not worth itDownloaded 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.Version: 1.7

Doesn’t workIt will not connect to my server. Useless..Version: 2.5.0

RefundThe webpage is cropped out by my iPhone screen to the point of uselessness and I can’t figure out how to login. It automatically enters a link but I have no idea what that’s for either or why it’s not working. I tried the website as well and every other page leads to an error or won’t load. Only the instructions page can be accessed and that doesn’t address any of the issues I’m having. I’d like my 3 bucks back please..Version: 2.8.0

Not worth the moneyCrappy app...you first need to buy this app. Then need to purchase special upgrades for approving requests?! Come on.. that’s ridiculous. You’re not taking another penny from me..Version: 1.7

Music?I love having music request on the website but are you going to add it to the mobile app?.Version: 1.7

If you want a review so bad, make the app amazingIf 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.Version: 2.10.1

MehWorks okay. Kind of buggy for being a paid app..Version: 2.14.0

Could be betterThe UI is not great, text is not centred and buttons are not obvious. Just look at the nice UI in safari, it’s in a browser and works better than your app! Please fix the ui or just wrap the web app inside this app. I do appreciate the notifications though, thank you.Version: 1.7

Flakey has all get outWon’t consistently connect, appears to have a dependency on opening Ombi via a webpage, text is cut off, touch highlights persist after touching items. Not worth 1.99 at all...Version: 1.2

Good selection - but very glitchy!The selection of things to watch is great on this app. But the number of times it sits on the “loading” notification is infuriating. It’s a complete lotto as to whether you can get as far as submitting a request..Version: 1.7

Login IssuesUnable to login if you use Plex to login with. This makes connecting to the server and the program unusable..Version: 1.7

Request on behalf is poorly implementedThe app itself has been fine over the past few years. The new ‘request on behalf of’ feature being automatic for any admin account is just incredibly dumb. Should be a separate option..Version: 2.9.0

Good programWorks as designed with the back end service. I purchased the app, but am unable to approve movies from mobile version, asking me to buy other services. A little unclear. Other than that, would recommend this for any plex user..Version: 1.7

Repeatedly spams asking for review, doesn’t allow for IP addressesAllow your users to use an IP Address to access Ombi. Also, extremely overpriced for the quality of the app. Allow me to set my preferred requesting options once, each request requires 3 settings be selected from a drop down..Version: 2.10.1

Plex OAuth Support?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..Version: 1.7

Looks coolLooks like it has potential but I don’t see anywhere to actually request a movie or tv show. Only information about them..Version: 1.0

Not worth itI had to pay to download and then you want me to pay to use the app? The app is so terribly designed it’s so close to seeming like a parody. Don’t pay for this app. Just handle everything through the browser..Version: 1.7

This app is poorly designedWhy do you even charge for such a trashy looking app? It looks like my 4 year old son used a drag and drop wysiwyg editor to build this. Rebuild it in flutter. I’ll pay double. So hard to navigate and just an eye sore..Version: 1.7

This stopped working in 2 hours.This stopped working in 2 hours. Internal server error - cant pull from radarr. Biggest headache trying to fix this using sqlite3. Can’t figure this out. Wish i didnt purchase that 3.99 upgrade feature so quickly. Feels lame to contribute to something that just doesn’t work ya know. 3 stars as its possible this gets fixed in the future. Will change to 5 when/if fixed.Version: 1.7

App does not work add allI have my ombi setup perfectly I can connect and when I request for some reason it does not process my request even tho they show up on the browser side they never pull..Version: 1.7

Login BrokenUsing the exact same url and logon details I verified as being correct on the web interface is not accepted for login with Ombi app... very disappointing! Do not recommend wasting money on this. iPhone XS Max iOS 13.3.1.Version: 1.7

Will no longer work.Use to work just fine with my iOS. No longer will login after WEEKS of trying..Version: 1.7

Usable with iPhone XThis app will not let you sign in with the iPhone X. The login screen's 3 text box's spill into the top notch, which prevents you from entering the location of your server. I have tried enabling reachability to bring the top of the screen down, but that puts the server location box inside the menu bar still preventing it from being selected. Edit: new update works with IphoneX. General layout is nice. Will use for a bit longer and update again..Version: 1.7

Poorly designed cash grabThe app really costs $5. You pay $1 for the privilege to download the app, and then another $4 to actually do anything with it. You can’t even mark requests as available without spending more money on the in-app purchase. It’s utterly ridiculous. Thing is, if the app looked better I’d pay the extra $4. Right now, the GUI is a total mess and it looks like someone’s sophomore app dev project in college, not an app that should be for sale on the App Store. Stick with the Web UI until they either A) make this app truly only $1 or B) make the GUI look presentable.Version: 1.7

On the fence about this appDoes not search or update suggestions. The web interface seems to work better for me. Does not include combined, popular or trending. Will increase/decrease review if/when it gets better/stays broke..Version: 1.7

In app featuresBought the app and it worked as expected at first. Shortly after, I couldn’t use any admin features because I had to buy in app features. I already paid!.Version: 1.7

Unusable on iPhone XAs another user has stated before me, the URL field is inaccessible on the iPhone X and is in the menu bar which isn’t selectable. After this issue is fixed I’ll be able to evaluate the app and rate it..Version: 1.5

Additional cost for admin??When I purchased this I could do everything that I wanted but now I need to upgrade with an in app purchase to approve? What the hell man that unfair - what’s next, users pay to make a request?.Version: 1.7

Let me review the appGetting spammed for a review everytime I do something is hella annoying..Version: 2.12.2

Works, but becoming a money grabAs I said, it does work but I'm getting tired of paying again and again for upgrades on an app I already purchased. I paid for the app and now I have to pay to get the upgrades to the app? If you're going to make me pay for "in-app purchases" then refund me the money I paid for the app..Version: 1.5

Has potential...Is this app still being developed? Although it has great potential, it feels like it hasn't been completed and the experience is incomplete. What are the upgrade features btw?.Version: 1.7

MisleadingThe $.99 price tag is not all you will need to pay. Once you purchase and launch app, you will be required to pay an additional $3.99 in order to be able to process requests (approve/deny). Either charge $5 for the app or indicate that in the description..Version: 1.7

Money GrabBeen following tidusjar (Jamie) for a while. His content has always been great. This app seems completely unlike him. A mediocre paid app WITH in-app purchases. Really? This app has potential but... come on Jamie..Version: 1.7

AvoidVery buggy and unreliable. Interface is essentially the same as browser access, which for the most part works well. I don’t mind paying a developer for their work, particularly since Ombi server is open source, but this app is as unpolished as they get. Save your .99 and stick with the web..Version: 1.7
