Ratings and reviews

Works great but I have issues. Tested on 3 phones with the following results LG G4 Beat: app keeps crashing. LG G4 Stylus: Camera output is only in green. Sony Xperia XZ: Works great but phone overheats and shuts down on long prints.

Great app, just needs a way to be able to turn off the flash for remote viewing as the flash doesn't properly line up to the picture taken every 10 seconds. It also means obico causes the phone to flash 24/7. Otherwise this is a great way to repurpose an old phone

Another masterpiece from the creator of OctoApp. Finally an app that can repurpose old phones as an OctoPrint webcam, built with 3D printing in mind. Works flawlessly. Hopefully manual focus functions are in the works.
