OctoPod for OctoPrint

After many many attempts to use the official obico app to monitor my setup I gave in and tried this app. It uses obico as one of many ways to connect and it worked right out of the box. I love the widget as well. Sure this app looks bland in comparison but I’ll take a fully functioning app over looks any day. If they separate the app into modules then the community can write new ui themes and this app would be perfect. Besides looks only other thing I would say is add support for emergency stop. Yes there is a cancel button but having a big e-stop option would be great esp on the widget.

I’ve had an OctoPi (Raspberry Pi running OctoPrint & connected to my 3D printer) for well over a year and I only regret not having this app sooner. Being able to monitor and manage my prints easily and natively on a phone (or an Apple TV!) is something I’ve wanted for a long time. I actually found this app because I was looking for a way to get notifications and if that’s the only thing you need, this app has all of that, for anything you could want notifications for. Love it!

Update 3/26: They’ve already added push notifications based on specified layers and progress. This is absolutely the app to get. I’ve been using Octoclient for 2 years and paid for pro. I just found this app because I’ve been disappointed with what octoclient had to offer. This app is so much better. With push messages, watch app, and gcode it’s really nice. Only one thing is missing to make this perfect and that’s a visual gcode viewer like Octoprint offers on their UI. If that could be added this app would be close to perfect. Perfect would be the ability to send a custom push notification based on what layer the print is on.
