So Handy
It’s so handy to be able to control and monitor my printer from anywhere. I love showing my family my printer and prints from hundreds of miles away.
Would absolutely recommend to anyone with a printer. Required minimal knowledge and expertise to get set up

It sooo good
It good for watch your work in the Printer but you can't give her order to print
Works
I have Obico running self hosted and it’s already saved a couple of prints from continuing while failing. Snapmaker U1 with the extended firmware
Хорошее приложение

Great but

Um aplicativo fácil, leve super funcional! Parabéns!
Ne fonctionne pas
Nul, se connecte sur mon serveur mainsail os mais l’écran est surdimensionné, les bouton se trouve surposé a l’heure et la batterie sur mon iPhone 8 aucun retour possible et l’écran reste noir…
Bref complètement dysfonctionnel…
Bref complètement dysfonctionnel…
App screen keeps going blank grey
As title suggests, after a few minutes the app just goes to a blank grey screen while within the slicer, rendering the app unusable
Requires local server (not octoprint) to work.
What is this? App reports that it supports octopi but requires an obico server on the network or a cloud account? No thanks.
Great service
Connect all my printers here and can control them from anywhere I have a computer/phone. Easy to use and easy to connect printers even on custom klipper installs.
Good app, despite hardware issues
2025 Update: many of these bugs persist years later, but Octopod keeps getting updates like Live Activities where I can see the % at the top of the screen without opening the app or waiting for the next notification.
I’ll email the developer again about all the bugs and mention this too. He has always been super responsive, but I’m docking 2 stars for now. Good app, but lacking features and regular updates.

2022: My Pi 4 is tucked away in a closet with the 3D printer. Although it never sputters on LAN while at home, it seems to be a different story externally and buffers quite a bit when accessing remotely outside of my house. Any remote access requires good connection, which I think I'm barely out of the range of in my "closet scenario."
I still get email/text alerts immediately, but streaming for more than a few seconds seems to be barely out of reach. It's so close to 5 stars, but I think it could really benefit from some more development with better dynamic resolution / bps to avoid as much buffering. Could we even select what resolution we want easily instead of ONLY offering the dynamic? One star docked.
I was also a beta tester since I've used Spaghetti Detective long before it was Obico. I think it's gotten better and they had Baby Step Z as a feature for awhile, but it disappeared! It worked perfectly for me, but I imagine it was a bit experimental and didn't work for everyone. I'm sad it's gone, but I can understand. No stars docked.
iPad version needs a lot of work. It is basically just a camera in landscape mode and you can't click anything. I have a landscape keyboard case, so this is pretty frustrating. One star docked.

It’s so dumb and useless
Gives you zero tools in slicer, can’t even change the filament to TPU so I have to manually go in and change everything, can’t rotate my project to lay it flat so I don’t need supports cause again there’s no tools. Tried using a different slicer that does actually work, but it recognizes the printer, but won’t let me send to the printer. If I send the file through a usb stick from another slicer it just goes crazy when it’s printing. Seen everything online saying clipper is so much better than Marlin and I’m bout to throw all this away and go back. Nothing simple about it, hard to find videos for help, took me 3 nights to get the btt pi2 and klipper to work right. Did all of this to wifi print…. Could have just installed a wifi board to my screen and not got clipper and still been printing. Only printed 1 thing right since (only cause I didn’t have to change its position) and can’t figure out what slicer to use so I can properly orient the objects so I can print them correctly.

Well designed, great plans, saves the day
This app is really well designed and works great. They also give you a free plan with 10 detection hours a month which is awesome. They offer all these amazing features for free and the subscription is really cheap and worth it if you need the extra hours.
Amazing Support
Great support team. Even though my webcam streaming didn’t work properly, I hear good things from my friends and it’s probably just my printer.
Works well, even the free version
This has been working exactly as advertised. The free version does lose some functionality but overall is very good.
La uso con Artillery x4pro
Devo dire che è un’ottima applicazione ha tutto quello che mi può servire.
It is bad
My prints fail and there is a camera cool down!
Great App
Great app, saved my printer on more than one occasion. Have had some issues, they have always been quick to fix them.
Use it all the time
This is my go to app to monitor my 3D prints on iPad and android devices. Gives you great control over he process. My only nit is that on an IPad it won’t go into landscape mode
