Ratings and reviews

This app is somewhat helpful if I were away from the printer and needed an update on the print. However, the in app store doesn't work. The truth is, there isn't anything bad about this app, just as there isn't anything really beneficial. At least not that I have seen yet. The app really just links your printer to the app. It seems it can link multiple printers, which can be accessed through the app. So, if you own multiple printers, this app could be of some use. I'm in the middle with this.

You can monitor the camera (albeit in 360P quality), change temperature, fans, lights, and get basic info on print time and print jobs. This app falls on its face as it has no integration with cloud printing at all. Which I would happily pay extra for (proper cloud slicing, not flash prints horrific attempt). That would honestly set most of the Flashforge printers apart from the competition.

Stupid, mandatory survey splash page every time you open the app. leads to a dead link and buttons are in Chinese. absolutely useless also just tried to use the thing to check on a print, video stream failed to load (has never worked through the app) and it caused my printer to freeze mid print and then offset everything by half an inch and keep going. this is absolutely unacceptable for an app to fail to do basic functionality like ths
