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.

I don't usually review apps, but this one is really good. With how unstable octoprint can be, it's surprising how reliable this 3rd party application is. Specially considering there is no plugin needed to work. I only wish the app could access and work plugins like bed levelling, but this would go beyond the scope of what I expected from this app. Nice work.
