Maybe someday… ### 4/5 — Camera likes to disconnect *2024-10-11, version 3.30* The camera part likes to disconnect every so often, other than that it works great ### 4/5 — Quasi perfetta *2024-07-04, version 3.28* Funziona molto bene… Non metto 5 stelle perche i comandi personalizzati si appoggiano ad un plugin non piu sviluppato e che presenta il problema che dopo accensione e spegnimento perde la memoria dei comandi ### 4/5 — Awesome! *2024-04-02, version 3.28* Only complaint is that I’ve had some trouble adding a second instance. But the first works perfectly. ### 5/5 — Wish it had gcode viewer *2024-03-26, version 3.28* Really good app and easy to use. Just wish it had a gcode viewer like octoapp. ### 5/5 — Topp App *2024-03-15, version 3.28* Ich bin Sponsor via Github geworden. Gute Arbeit ist mir das Geld wert. ### 5/5 — Filament saver *2024-03-14, version 3.28* So nice to be able to run printers while away at work. No more returning to spaghetti! ### 5/5 — Super App *2024-03-11, version 3.28* Ein GCode Viewer wäre noch schön ### 5/5 — Danger: Possible thermal runaway detected *2024-02-26, version 3.28* Good app…. But scared me when keep getting “ Danger: Possible thermal runaway detected”…. After reading people having the same issue online, it looks like that’s a bug with Octopod?! Hope that will be fixed soon 😅 ### 5/5 — Genialer Helfer *2024-02-25, version 3.28* Die App ist simpel und genial zugleich. Ich kann meine Drucke sehr gut überwachen und die Statusmeldungen machen das warten entspannter. Egal ob zuhause oder unterwegs, ich weiß immer was gerade los ist bei meinen Druckern! ### 5/5 — Excellent app! *2024-02-01, version 3.28* This app works great for monitoring my prints. Best I have found. ### 5/5 — Perfeito!! *2023-12-01, version 3.27* Sou iniciante na impressão e não tive problema algum no uso do app, uma atualização com mais idiomas(português Brasil) deixaria incrível ### 5/5 — Great and easy to install *2023-11-28, version 3.27* Easy to install! No issues or problems. Great to watch the progress of my build from either in my house or away from it! ### 5/5 — Goooooooodddddd *2023-11-21, version 3.27* Good boy ### 5/5 — Makes 3D printing while on the go a breeze. *2023-11-02* With this app you can monitor and stop your print if there is a failure. No more need to stick around. Also if you incorporate gadget AI it can analyze webcam image to stop automatically in the case there is a failure. Many features and works great. ### 5/5 — Super zur Kontrolle *2023-10-23, version 3.26* Nutze die App zusammen mit dem PlugIn auf dem Octopi. Bekomme somit auch unterwegs ohne VPN mit wie weit der Drucker ist. Im Heimnetz oder per VPN kann ich alles steuern, sehe das Livebild von der Kamera. Bisher immer zuverlässig. ### 5/5 — Very Nice *2023-10-18, version 3.26* I’ve enjoyed using this app to watch my printers and catch notifications from them. Top notch! ### 5/5 — Great app/plug-in *2023-10-11* This app and corresponding octoprint plugin does exactly what it says on the tin. Ports all/most octoprint functionality from your web browser to your iOS device. It does disconnect occasionally but I can’t tell if that is the app or my server. Either way, it usually just works. Recommend. ### 4/5 — Very good *2023-09-19, version 3.26* Good ### 5/5 — Works great and is free *2023-07-16, version 3.26* Updated this review to 5 stars after developer responded with how to set a custom webcam url with multicam plug-in. This app is perfect for monitoring prints and controlling the printer. Keep up the great work! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Works on iPhone not Apple TV *2022-12-29, version 3.25* This app works great on iPhone. However, on AppleTV I open the app and it says “Retrieving printers information”. There is no place log in or change settings. Found online a couple of fixes to push print settings to iCloud or re-save printer. Tried both, but still nothing shows up on AppleTV. Also restarted phone, printer, RP4, and AppleTV. ### 1/5 — Müll *2021-07-16, version 3.11* Hat mir den completten funktionsfähigen Raspberry zerschossen! Druck brach plötzlich ab und kein Zugriff mehr auf den Raspberry. Was für ein Müll! Ich hätte gern rund 70€ von euch für einen neuen Raspberry! ### 1/5 — App is crashing *2021-03-26, version 3.11* I tried connecting to my octopi, at first the connection was established but as soon as I pressed anything on the app, the app was crashing. Tried uninstalling and installing again but now the app doesn’t even open. It crashes instantly as soon as I tap to open it ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-12-30, version 3.10* Unable to add printer. Scan gives blank page.. No instructions. basically junk. ### 1/5 — No form field labels on the printer setup scree *2020-10-11, version 3.6* Makes perfect sense not to label any of the form fields on the printer setup form. Just 5 fields lined up with no idea of what goes in each. This is a new direction for UX design , surely. Why didn’t anyone think of it before? Genius! Or perhaps one of those apps to just delete again within the first 60 seconds of downloading. ### 1/5 — Inconsistent *2020-07-09, version 3.5* I had the settings on read only mode. Somehow got a notification on the home screen at some point, pressed it and it said it cancelled the print. Nowhere did the notification said it was canceling the print, nor did it ask for confirmation. Happened once a couple of weeks ago, thought I did a mistake. Now happened again and lost a multi hours print. It’s rubbish and now am trying another app, deleting this from my phone. ### 1/5 — 3d drucker stürz ab *2020-01-01, version 2.10* Seit der neuesten version ist es so das wenn ich mit OctoPod auf meinen drucker zugreife, bleit er stehen und nix geht mehr.... ### 1/5 — Connecting leads to failed prints *2019-03-01, version 2.1.1* Launching the app and connecting to the printer will randomly stop/fail a print. ### 2/5 — Buggy on Apple TV *2023-02-09, version 3.25* Downloaded this because it was the only Octoprint app for the Apple TV. I love being able to quickly check my prints while watching tv. However, I have a recurring issue where the app hangs while searching for printers and the only way to fix it is to uninstall and reinstall the app. It would also be great if it would display the current/total layer numbers too. ### 2/5 — Print job not showing *2022-10-13, version 3.24* I just recently started with octoprint and connected octopod through octoeverywhere but when I open the app it won’t show me the progress, or any details in print job, but the widget does however shows the progress bar and the estimated end time. Is this an error due to the new update? Thank you ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A must have companion app *2025-12-26, version 3.32* Works great, and can send you notifications via Apple - so you know if the print crashed or it is done even when your phone is not on your LAN. ### 5/5 — Awesome and handy tool! *2025-11-02, version 3.32* Very effective and useful ! ### 5/5 — Octopod *2025-07-11, version 3.32* Very cool so far still learning it ### 5/5 — Отличная прога! *2025-03-15, version 3.32* Всё со смартфона! ### 5/5 — SOO MUCH BETTER THAN OBICO! *2025-01-08, version 3.31* This app is nowhere near as laggy as obico! ### 5/5 — What a great app *2025-01-02* I have been using this app for nearly 2 years now and the developer is amazing. Always including some of the latest iOS features like live activities and shortcuts. Looks great on both mobile and iPad. Definitely my go to mobile octoprint client ### 5/5 — Hard work pays off *2024-10-01, version 3.30* Very useful tool for remote printing and avoiding constant guessing of time frame of when your part is finished. Hooked up to MonoPrice select Mini. Needed formatting but after that creating a profile was the hardest part ### 5/5 — いいね *2024-05-11, version 3.28* 速度のコントロールが手元でできるともっと良いね。 ### 5/5 — Perfect companion for 3D print monitor *2024-04-14, version 3.28* Has everything I need with ease of use. ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2024-03-27, version 3.28* This app has everything you could possibly ever need or want and more in order watch and manage your 3D print through your phone. Amazing app, huge thanks to the developer! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
