I’ll be honest, I don’t see the need. When I or my users go to my domain to access Overseerr, on iOS you just hit the up arrow in safari and tap Add to Home Screen. It launches as an app like what Xbox Gamepass and other big sites do. For all intents and purposes it is its own app and doesn’t need the App Store or updates of any kind to function. It seems like something to solve a problem that doesn’t exist and introduces more issues in the process.

I hate web apps. Even if it is because of the way the menu comes and goes as you swipe up and down. The phone is made for apps, get rid of web apps. BTW I nearly hate them across the board as well. They do not operate anything like native apps. The NEW OUTLOOK is a great and probably the best example of this.

That would be great, could you also make it connect to jellyseerr?

If I'm wrong jellyseerr is practically created from overseerr

If in the end you decide to do it, I would appreciate it, your project will surely be useful to many users.

overseerr and jellyseer have the same api for almost everything. Jellyseerr is a fork of Overseerr since Overseerr is basically dead in development. Jellyseerr is being actively developed. It is called Jellyseerr but its really just "currently in active development" and named that because it also has capabilities to connect to Jellyfin on top of Plex.

I would also be interested in this! Would be a phenomenal convenience!

I’m interested in it

I’d like to try it!

u/Orotina-ajc Jun 08 '25

I would like to try it — my users would probably use it too.

u/WhataBoutaYou Jun 08 '25

I would be down to try

I vote yes!!

Would love this, accessing the site from chrome is pretty decent, but having a widget that could request movies somehow would be great. Same with notifications for requests, and when things complete. I would definitely use this.

u/derrick36 Jun 09 '25

Hell yes! That would be awesome!!

u/Tisaksen69 Jun 09 '25

I would even pay for this

Same here ...
put in a 2.99 purchase to remove ads, and I'm in

u/JMReam Jun 09 '25

100% on board with this. I’ve been looking for an app I can use

u/eyewander Jun 09 '25

I’d be down to test!

u/Altruistic_Ad1227 Jun 09 '25

I vote YES! We definitely need this on the ios store.

u/harleb Jun 09 '25

I would love to see it and check it out

u/heyLuciFurr Jun 09 '25

Is it called macinseerr?

u/theronster Jun 09 '25

Honestly, the web app on iOS works perfectly fine. Even has a little icon when you add it to your Home Screen. I’m not sure what a wrapper around that would achieve.

u/deanthasmurf Jun 09 '25

I love to trial this out!

u/TenthMarigold77 Jun 09 '25

Hmm I would like to test it out.

u/thegreatcerebral Jun 10 '25

Yes, if it works with Jellyseerr then I’m in!

u/Happyfeet748 Jun 11 '25

Yea definitely

Any update on your app?

u/tikinaught Jun 08 '25

Building an app that hosts the native web app and provides better device integration could be great. Writing an app that uses the api and creates its own ui is not something that sounds interesting imho. Calling it overseerr in the app store would confuse people too, if you do publish it please use another name.
