### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2026-02-25, version 3.0.42*

I sent an initial review of this app shortly after testing it out last year as I was quite impressed.  I continue to use it for all my prints still, and the support from the developer remains consistent, and timely.  Bugs are regularly managed, and I enjoy being able to run dual camera feeds that toggle in the camera section.  The one time supporter fee is also a great feature that is appreciated.  Thank you again for a great app!

### 5/5 — Great 3D Printing App

*2026-02-24, version 3.0.41*

I really enjoy using this app. The technical support is fantastic. Christian will email you and address any concerns or questions that you have and he is very knowledgeable. I love the fact that I can remote monitor my prints when I leave my home Wi-Fi and the app will switch between Wifi and Remote modes if you have this set up correctly. The interface is very flexible and you can adjust it according to what you want to see. I paid for the lifetime version of this app as it offers great value and the Live Updates on your lock screen for print progress is a fantastic addition in the paid version. Would highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Impressive

*2026-02-03, version 3.0.38*

Rarely does an app work so seamlessly it operates better than designated apps for the printer. So far it’s been flawless!

### 5/5 — For the Anxious Printer

*2026-01-31, version 3.0.38*

This has everything I need to make sure my prints are going well, including the ability to stop it from anywhere. The free version does everything I need and keeps a live feed on the printer so long as I am on the same network. There is an option to pay $3 a month for remote access from anywhere as well.

### 5/5 — Excellent, with great support!

*2026-01-24, version 3.0.36*

I needed something to replace Obico when my newest printer wasn’t compatible with that anymore.  This works great!  Linked with OctoEverywhere, this is a perfect solution.  Very convenient and customizable.  Had trouble getting the camera to work and Christian worked with me directly to solve the issue.  Can’t recommend highly enough!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-01-12, version 3.0.34*

This app works very well so I can remotely watch my 3d printer work.  Had an issue connecting occasionally, and they were very helpful figuring out my router issue.  Outstanding support!

### 5/5 — Best App ever!

*2026-01-02, version 3.0.32*

This app is awesome

### 5/5 — Sensible pricing

*2025-12-26, version 3.0.32*

Finally a useful app that has sensible onetime pricing.

### 5/5 — Essential!

*2025-12-21, version 3.0.32*

This app is an absolute godsend for busy folks who can’t watch their prints constantly!

As a busy parent I can’t be stood over my Elegoo Centauri Carbon for hours on end, but I can check in whenever I have a spare moment.

Now I have this app I couldn’t be without it!

### 5/5 — Exceptional app with exceptional support!

*2025-12-16, version 3.0.31*

Couldn’t be happier, this is my favourite 3D printing app

### 5/5 — Fantastic App, for Elegoo

*2025-12-14, version 3.0.31*

I've been using OctoApp on my iPad Pro with my Elegoo Centauri Carbon for about two weeks now, and I’m really impressed. The setup was super simple — quick install, easy configuration, and it worked right away without any fuss. I’ve mainly been using it for remote monitoring through my home VPN, and it’s been flawless every time. Clean interface, smooth performance, and total reliability. Highly recommend it if you want effortless remote control for your printer!

### 5/5 — tuff

*2025-11-29, version 3.0.30*

i love this app it makes 3d printing when i’m away so much easier

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2025-11-27, version 3.0.30*

Started using this over OctoPod and it’s great! It even integrates with Spoolman!

### 1/5 — BS money grabber…

*2026-08-03, version 3.2.11*

No where does it say that rtsp only works for subscribers so right away rtsp users cannot even try this app, thanks for wasting my time, uninstalled and removed everywhere.

### 1/5 — No home safety

*2026-03-05, version 3.0.43*

I was very disappointed this has no safety to prevent the printer from going home when there is a print on the print bed and just crashes the extruder into the print

### 1/5 — Very primitive app

*2026-02-05, version 3.0.38*

I had lots of hope for this app. I have OctoEveryWhere account with all my printers on that account. But this app doesn’t give you an option to login to that account. And furthermore as soon as you manually add a printer to it. It doesn’t provide you with an option to add more.
I just got Mobilraker from App Store. Definitely Mobilraker is a 5 star app in comparison. It connects not only directly but also through OctoEveryWhere and Obico.

### 2/5 — Not responsive to commands

*2025-12-13, version 3.0.31*

I’m a bit disappointed in the app. Every time I try to run a command it does not process the command to my printer. If I try and adjust speed or simply turn on the chamber light it never registers the command. It works well to view the camera but that’s about it.

### 3/5 — Troublesome for security

*2026-02-05, version 3.0.38*

OctoApp encourages *not* using secure connections and has no option for allowing use of self-signed certs. The app doesn’t handle https redirects well either. So in order to actually get the app to work, you have to disable https redirects or disable https entirely on the server. This limits its usefulness as you shouldn’t really do that outside of a local network.

### 3/5 — Elegoo

*2025-09-13, version 3.0.18*

Pretty annoying the app says it supports elegoo but to get any notifications or anything usable you need the octoprint companion plugin or any other plug in for octoprint and they do not support elegoo. I don’t see the point…

### 3/5 — Great app, but needs UI work

*2024-03-22, version 2.0.31*

Wish it would follow iOS design language, the UI overall is glitchy. Has a lot of features tho

### 4/5 — Easy set-up; reconnects frequently when remote

*2026-08-11, version 3.2.12*

Set-up was a breeze. And when I’m connected to same network, works great, but when I’m mobile, or not on same network, seems to loose connection quiet frequently. But still allows me to be able to monitor my print jobs from the office when I need to. Thanks for developing.

### 4/5 — Okay for Elegoo CC

*2026-02-15, version 3.0.39*

The app is fine for my Elegoo CC, but I don’t get notifications about print start, finish, etc. Given that, I prefer the CC Tool app, same information, more compact format.

### 4/5 — Incremental Updates are Great!

*2024-12-18, version 2.2.24*

How do we get support for Klipper-based Printer firmwares… for instance the new printers coming from Creality, FLSUN etc. that have open end web UIs based on Klipper? It will be good if we can plug into those printers.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Awesome App!

*2026-09-05, version 3.2.15*

Perfectly integrated with my print sever!

### 5/5 — Switched from Bambu Handy

*2026-07-30, version 3.2.11*

Bambu’s privacy and open-source issues sent me looking for alternatives. Orca Slicer’s nightly builds took care of slicing once H2C support landed, which left the Handy app as the last piece. This filled that gap perfectly — full remote control and monitoring over LAN/Developer Mode, no cloud required.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-06-11, version 3.1.47*

I have been printing for 10 years now and I discovered octopus print around two weeks ago. It has been a game changer because I have the crealty ender 3 v3 se witch can not print from your phone but for 25 dollars and 1h of your time to set it up you can .

### 5/5 — Works great with my Klipper setup

*2026-06-08, version 3.1.47*

I run Klipper in a Docker container, and it works great with the crysxd OctoApp plugin container as a host. The live widget features are useful for tracking progress, and the notifications let me know when to check the first layer, and grab the finished part.

### 5/5 — Best App!

*2026-06-01, version 3.1.45*

I have this app on my other phone, it is fantastic for control of Klipper and Bambu printers!  I tried others, they aren’t as great as this one.

### 5/5 — Amazing App across iOS and Android

*2026-05-12, version 3.1.40*

Really amazing app that works seamless across devices. Every feature you want in octopi made available in the mobile app with an excellent balance of notifications and customizable control

### 5/5 — This app is Amazing

*2026-05-09, version 3.1.39*

IT just works perfectly with my elegoo

### 5/5 — Best App Ever!

*2026-04-21, version 3.1.38*

This app and its developer are incredible. They have done what Elegoo can’t or hasn’t. The UI, the functionality and overall care that went into its creation shine through at every moment. I wish every app could be this straight forward, responsive and well supported by its developer. If you need app support for Elegoo Centauri Carbon 1 and more, it simply doesn’t get better than this app. 👌

### 5/5 — BEST APP FOR 3D PRINTERS

*2026-03-04, version 3.0.43*

pls also make the centari carbon work on Apple Watch other than that it’s the best 3-D printing app you could get. 

Also wish I could get premium because it has amazing features 🥹

### 5/5 — Heroes

*2026-03-03, version 3.0.42*

I don’t understand why manufacturers can’t do, what this complete legend has done. Way to go man!!!!
