What this app does is pretty self explanatory...access PrusaLink! You can enter the IP address of your printer, along with your username and password, and the app will authenticate with the printer and load the web UI. You can add multiple printers and give them each a name of your liking along with an image to better quickly distinguish each one. The main reason I made this app was because PrusaLink doesn't seem to load when I try to open it in Safari on my iPhone. After a bit of Internetting I found that I wasn't alone with this problem. Rather than having to install a different browser just to view PrusaLink, I made this app. And it works great! This project is not affiliated in any way with Prusa. This project is open sourced and the source code can be found at the Support URL.
