needs more
the camera has a pretty low framerate so its really good for just checking periodic progress to see where the print is at, but my biggest issue with this app is the poor model library. no ability to search up models so you just have to see the same ai generated articulated animals or clicker ice cream cones. i wish there was more of an active maker community like makerworld and bambu

What I wish it can do
I wish you can upload your own files to it on the mobile app, or just make it so you have more options to print.
More Community Models Please
I want to use my Snapmaker U1 way more, but it's so easy to print on my Bambu straight from my phone. I would absolutely replace my Bambu with another U1 if Snapmaker allowed more models in the app. Otherwise, the app is fine for monitoring and basic controls.
Not good enough
No way to search models. Cannot download timelapses.
Would prefer app launching to the device tab, not the models.
I love this printer, but I really miss Bambu Handy…

This app is awesome
The app is so good with the great quality camera feed. I have the Snapmaker u1 myself, and I picked many things from the library which all turned out great
Can’t connect to my J1

Very utilitarian
This app provides very little functionality. You can select from existing local files, view the current status and camera, move the print assembly, swap extruders and adjust temperature. That’s pretty much it.
Basic things like selecting, renaming and deleting files is nonexistent. Swapping filament colors on models would be great too.

Software has potential
The model library is a great addition. As of 4/18/2026 there are only a few to choose from. Please keep expanding this library or open it up to users to add in their own files for everyone to share and download while leaving ratings for prints and reviews
Great App Once You Learn It
I don’t use the app much but when I do, it’s a great way to watch my prints and stop them in the event of a failure. Which has happened once. The app allows you to do everything g you can do in person. You can start and stop prints, you can change print speeds, you can turn the camera on and off.
It is also the BEST way to submit trouble tickets and mange them. Snapmaker has been wonderful on dealing with any issues that come up. Highly recommend this app.

We need camera fps drop fix
Can’t remove notification bubbles
Although I’m glad they finally updated the app so that you’re able to get notifications when there is a failure, there doesn’t seem to be a way to clear those notification bubbles after the fact. As someone who is a founding member of the “no notification bubbles” club, it’s really annoying when I can’t clear those. Please fix.

The printer is great. This app is decent
I find connectivity and downloading timelapse is a bit hit and miss but largely works okay
Still does not work in LAN mode
You say you have fixed LAN mode? Well I say you have not! The app still does not find my U1, in fact it doesn’t even TRY to find it, as evidenced by the utter lack of a Local Network permission listed for the app in Settings!
GARBAGE!! The worst app I’ve ever dealt with!
App says printer “busy” get home to a melted blob on your tool head! There’s no notification of errors app side, the camera shows the top you can’t even see your print? Goodluck viewing your files at 1 frame per minute ? The amount of errors the app gives much less the beta test hardware is comical would love a full refund and go to bambu

Can’t find LAN printer
I’m using my printer in LAN mode and it can’t discover my printer. There isn’t a way to manually add a printer by IP. This seems like a major miss. Why not allow to manually add like the Snapmaker Orca allows?
U1 users
The app requires numerous improvements—most importantly, a stable internet connection.
Latest update seriously messed it up
The last update seriously messed up this app and being able to control the U1 remotely. It’s incredibly slow now and most of the time it can’t even connect to the printer and show the current status. It was never a problem in the past. Ever. Printer is on the latest firmware update, so is the app. A bit frustrating I can’t remotely monitor my print anymore.

A long way to go
Would be great if it was on par with Bambu Handy app, perhaps in time.
Getting better
Still not particularly useful for anything but viewing the camera, but at least it’s not forcing me to log in again every time I use it.
Gettin’ there
Within a few months the app has shown great improvement. I am hoping it continues to do so. Notifications would be nice, the ability delete files, the ability to stop printing a single object if it messed up so the entire plate isn’t a loss.
