## What is Moonraker Buddy?

I created Moonraker Buddy after flashing my Flashforge printer with Zmod and finding that i did not like any of the available apps.
I have tried to create a clean, easy to use and low cost app that allows you to monitor multiple Moonraker / Klipper printers at the same time.
The free version allows you to add a single printer with limited funuctionality.
For a small in-app purchase you can unlock the ability to add multiple printers and full functions.

### 5/5 — Only one thing

*2026-07-12*

The app is clean and much better than the alternatives. 
My only thing is the pro version. 
My iCloud account won’t let me purchase it. 
I really want to get it because it’s cheap and reasonable. 
Is there a website I can purchase it from? I’m willing to pay, just can’t on my phone.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the review! Sorry you cannot unlock the pro version, you can email me directly from the app in settings -> send feedback thanks! Paul

### 5/5 — Simple and reliable!

*2026-05-08*

I’ve been testing this app and really like it—everything from camera integration, printer statistics to monitoring has worked smoothly. It’s simple, effective, and I will continue using it.
