This is not related to a previous issue.

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

An Overseerr application for ios devices. It would be very convenient for users to have an app they can go to on their phones, where they dont need to remember or favorite a website. Non tech users would really benefit from this.

Having users go to the mobile website. Not all users like this, as its not convenient.

Apple is very anti-piracy though, so getting an app approved in the App Store is unlikely. Same reason nzb360 is unavailable on iOS unfortunately.

Sorry to hijack the feature request, but would it be worthwhile re-scoping this for apple/android or have a separate feature request?

sct commented 3 years ago

I rescoped it. Its a long term goal anyways so no need to have two issues yet.

@14wkinnersley - If your Overseerr instance is accessible at a web address outside your local network, through Safari on iOS you can choose "Add to Home Screen" and it will add the Overseerr icon and can be named whatever you'd like. From there, accessing through that icon makes it behave like an app. Very simple solution that works well for my users. I assume android can do the same, but I haven't tried it.

@tigervol I know that...

Even though apple is anti privacy, they did allow the LunaSea app. And with api support, maybe LunaSea app could communicate with overseerr

I definitely use this for many of my container that are user friendly for my family. But a tiny thing could improve GREATLY the experience on phone and tablet: _ the lateral menu of overseerr is un retractable. Would be great to be able to hide it. Feels like tit takes a huge amount of space.

BUT VERY low priority enhancement..

I don't think we will ever actually pursue building native apps. We don't see a point with the PWA's working as well as they do. If people ever come along that want to contribute to building native apps, then maybe. We will just never have the resources for it otherwise.
