Is very interesting if you see in all format not? ### 4/5 — Great app but… *2022-06-11, version 1.5.1* Amazing app. It’s become my default app for using my 3d printer. Only issue is landscape support. I plug my ipad into my monitor at my desk but cant use the app in landscape. ### 3/5 — Trouble logging in *2022-06-03, version 1.5.1* I’ve reset my password, tried to make a new account, and It still won’t let me use the online website, and I can’t find any way to download the gcode from the app to my iPhone files ### 4/5 — The login is not working *2022-02-01, version 1.5.1* But the web UI is great and it is a good software ### 3/5 — One key miss.. *2021-02-25, version 1.5.1* The app only supports portrait mode, this is already a show stopped as my iPad is almost always on it’s magic keyboard. ### 3/5 — Please add landscape mode on IPad *2020-12-18, version 1.5.1* Please add landscape mode on IPad ### 3/5 — Stl Upload Missing? *2020-08-31, version 1.4.8* Just why do i have to use the web UI to upload STL files? Not really useful for my needs right now. Maby someday? ### 3/5 — Manca la possibilità di carica il gcode dall’app *2020-07-28, version 1.3.12* Almeno per IPad, non vedo alcun tasto che permetta di scaricare un gcode, cosa Invece possibile dal sito ### 3/5 — Thingiverse App Needs Work *2020-06-19, version 1.3.12* AstroPrint has made my printing process so much easier. I love being able to get notifications when my print is ready. However when using the search in Thingiverse it does not load the search result. This does not happen on their website version of AstroPrint. ### 3/5 — Still some bugs *2020-03-04, version 1.3.12* I love being able to monitor away from home. But that’s really the only thing the app can do well, with a caveat. Live video worked for the first day and then suddenly it no longer works at home or away. Another major annoyance is the authorization button for the thingiverse app pulls up a window that disappears. Should just open it in my browser if the app can’t handle it. I also don’t like the lack of lockout features like Octopod offers. I may just go through the hassle of a VPN and return to Octopod instead of this app... Too bad. ### 3/5 — Funciona muy bien pero.... *2020-02-08, version 1.3.12* Estoy encantado con astroprint, puedes ver el progreso de la impresion desde fuera de casa y controlar parámetros como temperatura y algun detalle mas y ver con la camara como evoluciona la impresion pero tiene un problema muy grande y es la imposibilidad de apagar la impresora cuando haya terminado la impresión con lo facil que es implementar un boton para activar un gpio y activar o desactivar un rele. Por ello no es una buena aplicación y aun menos un sistema aconsejable cuando octopi en ese aspecto le da 1000 vueltas salvo que es algo mas complejo de instalar ### 2/5 — Great concept but doesn’t work at all *2020-01-24, version 1.3.12* The camera never stays connected and I have to keep refreshing it. On my phone and iPad, it keeps saying I have to be on the same network as the printer which I am. This defeats the purpose of the app seeing that it doesn’t work. ### 3/5 — It can’t connect to my 3D printer :( *2019-12-30, version 1.3.12* I have a flashforge adventurer 3 and it won’t connect. But it’s still a great app and I like it ### 4/5 — The best way to monitor my 3D printer *2019-07-25, version 1.3.4* This is the best app to keep track of your 3D printer, there are a few glitches where I’m not able to control the printer while on my WiFi, and I would love the have printer bed feature that the website has, and if I could link my thingiverse profile to AstroPrint it would be awesome ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nothing works *2023-04-24, version 1.5.4* I am able to log in, but can’t add any printer settings. I tap the icon and nothing happens. I can add them in the online version and reopen app but it freezes before I can do anything with the uploaded file. Also only ABS & PLA profiles for fdm printers. ### 1/5 — Peccato *2021-12-08, version 1.5.1* L’app è sviluppata davvero malissimo, è quasi inutilizzabile. Peccato perché sarebbe veramente utile, visto che non esistono ad ora slicer decenti per iPad ☹️ ### 1/5 — Thingiverse! *2020-04-29, version 1.3.12* Thingiverse app does not work on astroprint. I click on the sign in button and then the it just takes me back to the home page! Tell me if I’m doing something wrong! ### 1/5 — Full of bugs, errors and limitations *2020-03-15, version 1.3.12* The app errors constantly, is missing basic features and just is a frustrating waste of time. Just use a web browser if you on mobile it works better. ### 1/5 — "Locked Printer" *2017-12-20, version 1.0.8* Astroprint ist ganz nützlich, die app ist es nicht. Wenn ich glück habe kann ich die app benutzen ansonsten steht immer "locked printer" drauf. Über den browser funktioniert es ohne problem, sogar wechseln mit ipad, laptop oder handy aber mach ich ein mal die app auf steht da nur "locked printer" (selbst wenn ich mich auf den anderen geräte ausgeloggt bzw erst garnicht eingelogged hatte) ### 2/5 — nicht schlecht funktioniert gut *2021-07-18, version 1.5.1* Leider merkt sich die App den Benutzer und das Passwort nicht. Daher für mich nicht richtig nutzbar. ### 2/5 — Cannot log in *2020-10-08, version 1.4.8* The same credentials that work fine on the browser version are rejected on the app. if I can't log in then any potential functionality inside is useless. ### 2/5 — Great device. App needs work *2020-06-01, version 1.3.12* I love the astrobox touch. Has made printing a 1000 x more convenient and so simple my kids have picked it up. The apps okay for the most part, but you can’t search thingiverse with it or add your other apps. When you search for something specific in thingiverse it shows its working, but nothing loads. For the most part im using the printer from my web browser on my phone. If the app worked properly it would be a cleaner solution. ### 2/5 — Great when it wants to work *2020-04-29, version 1.3.12* At this point, I wouldn’t consider a subscription because I need to reauthorize it through Octoprint every day. Not great when you aren’t at home. I’ll wait to see if they eventually fix this problem, but as of yet, the app isn’t much help. ### 2/5 — Needs more work *2020-03-24, version 1.3.12* Hi I was a backer if this when it was on Kickstarter was great but they limited the space to upload files and I would like to be able to used my ads card and or a usb drive to print my files from that would be great ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2022-12-27, version 1.5.4* AstroPrint made my 3D printing experience easier. Only issue is the camera sometimes don’t work for unknown reasons. ### 5/5 — Works Well Over the Internet *2021-07-22, version 1.5.1* After a few false starts, I was up in running and monitoring my MK2S. Works well at Starbucks!! ### 5/5 — Essential *2020-05-17, version 1.3.12* I wouldn’t 3D print without it! ### 5/5 — Still needs a few improvements but excellent app *2020-05-07, version 1.3.12* No app is perfect, and this one is no exception, but love how easy and simple it is to use, and hey, if you only have 1 or 2 3D printers is free, can’t beat that “price”. Even though I’m having some issues with the app I still gave it 5 stars as the issues I’ve had I think are easy to fix. ### 5/5 — Had this up and running in 1 hour *2020-04-13, version 1.3.12* Easy to use! Good controls. iPad app needs ability to rotate. Other than that this is amazing! ### 5/5 — Ottimo e completamente gratuito *2019-08-28, version 1.3.4* Sia il servizio che l’app possono essere utilizzati gratuitamente ed in maniera efficace, le limitazioni sono davvero poche. ### 5/5 — Works great with raspberry! *2019-02-17, version 1.3.1* I use it with a cheap chinese printer. ### 5/5 — Works great for my needs. *2018-08-11, version 1.1.4* Only monitor a single printer. But I believe it would be worth it for the subscription if you are running several machines and need to see/control running prints from anywhere. Running Octoprint on the Pi 3B+ with the Astro Print module. Recommend setting a fixed IP on the Pi for best connection reliability. ### 5/5 — Great App *2018-05-09, version 1.1.4* Really easy to use app to monitor my AstroPrint Touch that is controlling my Printrbot Simple. Love the direct print of a project from Thingiverse ### 5/5 — Lovely *2018-04-03, version 1.1.4* This app is great ... I‘ve been using it for half a month now and I’ve hadn’t had any problems with it. I really liked how you can monitor your print from anywhere. I recommend the app to anyone with a 3D Printer --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
