Ratings and reviews

Does almost as much as the Octoprint web interface, in a convenient phone-shaped package. Leaves a little bit to be desired, but only a little bit, and honestly it's not anything you'd commonly need. Connectivity for me is a bit spotty, but I know that it's on the Octoprint end of the equation - the Pi isn't in a good position for the WiFi, but the app is fine. The ability to watch the print from another room alone is worth the price of admission!

It works, mostly. OctoPrint is an excellent program/server, but the app could really use some work. It will often download the currently loaded gcode file to my phone for no apparent reason. It also shows persistent error messages if you use an operator API key (opposed to one generated by an Admin account). I often find myself accessing OctoPrint from the web browser. The experience is better and I have access to all of my plug-ins.

Great app for checking in on your printer when you can't physically see it. I have smoke and fire protection specifically for my printer, but I still don't like to leave it running unattended. So, when I have to step away for a few minutes, I use OctoRemote. I mainly use it for the webcam function, but it's also nice to have access to the entire OctoPrint API. The app is stable, laid out well, works great on my OnePlus 7T, and is maintained frequently. Recommended!
