About this app

In the beginning, RawBT meant data transmission via Bluetooth (raw over BT). My goal is to make the acronym decipher as follows:
R.a.w.B.T. - Realy amazing with Bluetooth thermal printers.

The application works as a print service (standard printing), makes it easy to implement printing documents from your website or from an application using standard and specially developed methods of interaction.

You also can easily print texts and images from your phone.
Find menu items "print", "share", "send" or "open" in any app, click and select RawBT.
(Browser,Mail,Image Gallery,File Manager and many other application)

Connected type:
- Bluetooth
- USB (if hardware support)
- Ethernet or WIFI (9100 port. It's called the AppSocket protocol)

Printers models supported:
I believe that it is clearer to choose the necessary command for printing graphics than to guess which one is hidden behind the name of the printer model.
- GS v 0 - supported by most printers;
- ESC * 33 - compatible with Epson;
- ESC X or ESC X 4 - two commands for Star compatible;
- and other possible commands.
Photo thermal printers: Paperang,Peripage,Cats/Panda.

Ratings and reviews

This is clearly the best thermal printer app on the market with the best image dithering options and lots of additional features. However, the pricing is a bit rough for occasional hobby usage. TrueType font size setting doesn't seem to actually do anything. I was able to get the WebSocket API working, but the JSON format wasn't really documented at all. I would like to also have the "Crop the frame around" option when I use 'share photo' to print. Currently works only for pdf.

Great and fast. I use it to print receipts from my POS web app. Unlike other apps that use JSON and take seconds to parse it, this app works very fast and flawlessly! But, too bad the translations for Bahasa Indonesia is a bit off and hard to understand. Like for the word 'print', the app use 'mengafdruk', specific term used in screen printing for clothing, instead of 'mencetak', term generally used in IT.

The page layout on text files is terrible. It treats the page like an A4 and then prints it as a scanned down image. Also, that image with the subscriptions on the preview gallery? The perpetual price is $55, or monthly cost of $1.50. For that price, I expect TrueType printing in native text, with proper line breaks on white space (not in the middle of words).

What's new

The following changes have been made for compatibility with Android 14: The app no longer uses background services and notifications. Network capabilities (share over network and web socket server) are allocated in a separate application.
