5/5Great app, great service
I considered buying this app a while ago but was put off by the fact that the initial price didn’t include all of the features. I randomly checked again today, and was thrilled to see that the developer has done away with the extra in-app purchase requirement. Instant buy, Ombi is a wonderful and extremely useful application, especially for those sharing a library with friends. The new interface is even better than the old one, which was already very good! Keep up the great work!

5/5So far so good
This allows myself and others remote access to my entertainment server. Especially makes it easy for the non-tech savvy. All around ease of use that this app provides is well worth it. My girlfriend can request stuff, without bugging me now. It will automatically be available for her on plex. Awesomeness

5/5Great App
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!

2/5Unusable
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.

2/5Refund
The 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.
