### 1/5 — Use OctoPod - this is no longer supported

*2023-12-12, version 1.2.1*

Paid my money and gave it a go.
Had an issue where the first screen wouldn’t load. sent an email to support twice and it bounced back.

Avoid, use Octopod.

### 5/5 — Great remote access

*2023-06-24*

The free version does what I need with quality video feed. I’m going to purchase pro soon.

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2023-03-18, version 1.2.1*

This app used to be amazing, doesn’t seem like it’s maintained anymore.

### 2/5 — Dashboard doesn’t work

*2023-01-04*

I like this app and would consider upgrading to pro, as much as I hate in app purchases vs just a separate app to buy; however, the dashboard just spins its wheel and never shows anything other than the camera. As it’s not listed as a pro feature I figure it must be broken.

### 4/5 — Very good basic octopi client

*2022-11-18*

I  like having the machine controls in one page.  Get a terminal into this and it's a 5 star app

### 3/5 — Kein HTTP-Auth

*2022-04-21*

Leider für mich nutzlos, keine Angabe von HTTP-Auth möglich. Eine Übergabe der Daten per URL ist nicht praktikabel und wird auch nicht unterstützt.

### 1/5 — Not great

*2022-01-09, version 1.2.0*

It looks great but hardly functions as it’s supposed to. No camera stream unless I’m home, isn’t the whole point of it to monitor my printer when I’m not home?

### 5/5 — Great app, but missing some stats

*2021-08-09, version 1.1.7*

Its a great app, but in wished it would show an estimated time that the print would be done.

### 5/5 — Great App for OctoPrint

*2021-08-01, version 1.1.7*

Kraken works great with OctoPrint.

### 3/5 — Multicam?

*2021-06-08*

Purchased the pro version. I have multiple cameras on my octopi server using multicam plugin. Would love to see the ability to have the same in this app.
