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.

Had to install this app to link my 5m pro to the orca flash slicer. This is about the total usefulness of this app. quite often it can't find find the printer. when it does you do have the option of changing a few print settings on the fly. But forget the preview camera. Most of the time it does not work and when it does it either freezes or is very jerky low quality. it has only has it shown a good quality video a couple times. if you want a preview you're better off using flashprint slicer

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.
