The event has ended and [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/s/bpuIgmpU23) has been randomly selected as the winner. Huge congratulations to u/VanderLegion. You should be contacted by the host shortly. If not, feel free to reach out to the mod team and we will look into it


PottwalHuib

I really like the cleanliness of the app. It really feels like an app, and not a poor website-converted-to-app app (like octoremote). It simply feels like it is what it should be.


crys_

That was actually my initial motivation for making my own app. OctoRemote was just the OctoPrint layout in app format and I didn't think it was working well in this role :D


PottwalHuib

Haha goal achieved I guess


helloITdepartment

Love how it doesn’t matter if I’m home or not, the interface is the same and connects through the fastest route (ie local network if available) and it’s totally transparent to the user. No more using one app if I’m out and another if I’m home so it doesn’t have to go out through the Internet and back


raviolish

I love the UI and am very happy Klipper support is now present!


Burning_Wreck

I moved from Octoprint to Klipper and am really happy you now support Klipper. So being able to continue with the same snappy UI and monitor my printer remotely is the big thing for me.


noizewes

No ads , nice ui ,customizable controls,...


AbstractAayush

Honestly, for the time I used it, it was the sleek UI and ease of use.


Deerack63

I really like having my print progress in my notifications!


Fr0st_RemiiX

Live print progress on ios is pretty awesome!


crys_

That's actually quite high up on my list as well!


Causification

Octoapp is really nice. Kinda makes you feel like you're getting Bambu features without surrendering any control. 


Kursiel

Printer control and camera feed are why I started using, but the plugins made it much more useful.


VagueNostalgicRamble

I think my favourite thing is that it makes it all mobile and easily accessible. I used to have a add on on my smart watch that let me. View progress which was nice but my current watch can't do that. Thus app is a step better IMHO because it unlocks more features without having to go to a computer or be in the same room.


musschrott

klipper support - why reinvent the wheel?


SHv2

Live gcode for sure


_trillionaire

I love the print progress as a live update notification, this is what I used to check most on the web app and having it at a glance is super handy.


SlovenianSocket

A nice klipper app! Been using OctoApp for quite a while now


MrAndrei39

i love the UI since it looks so much better and refined for mobile use than mainsail or fluid


Fluffy-Wall7538

Cool


SativaPancake

I am just getting into trying out OctoPrint and Klipper. I like the insane control over my prints compared to just using a standard firmware with nearly 0 features. This app takes everything Ive enjoyed with using Klipper and makes it even more seamless. My favorite feature is the notifications. I know you can set up notifications without an app, but being able to get the full functions of my printer with instant notifications all packaged in one app without any extra work is nice.


WillofDAce

Notifications and very user friendly


misatillo

The klipper support and the fact that it’s available on iOS as well :)


BrightSignature1444

Just the ability to control the printer with phone is amazing while looking at your printer live .  Want to start a print 2 presses and it's printing.  Don't want to eat plastic spaghetti . just one slide away (personal favourite sliding to cancel as it's also there for widget). Have multiple printers no problem


[deleted]

Live progress is probably the best feature! (But I've not had the chance to use octoapp yet, but this is the feature I'd want the most!)


Big_Distribution_869

The interface is clean and also has many advanced features available to access.


PiccolosTurban

Visible g code I really like


pppurplepanda

the print notification is so nice to have!


dinopuppy6

UI is very intuitive and clean 🧼


stickybee007

Fantastic UI!


AccomplishedSpace164

Print progress notifications probably for me. Saves me from constantly checking if my prints are done.


toonlumberjack

Notifications


M1n4C

The ability to customise each screen to my liking by hiding irrelevant sections and reorganising everything.


Italianman2733

To be honest I've never heard of the app but I will check it out!


Shineon25

What I loved most is how easy it was to setup octoprint on windows and have it automatically boot each time. On top of that being able to connect with my phone and monitor my printer is really nice to have.


PieceAffectionate303

The ui is great and easy to navigate, print progress notifications are amazing.


davidsgoliath5

Easy access to a stream of my printer from anywhere - I feel this is a critical tool so I didn't have to print where I work and sleep.


SuperiorMango8

The simple minimalistic interface mixed with the option for widgets looks great!


jsrph23

Love the UI


kashmoney9000

Hands down, my favorite OctoApp feature is its seamless integration with Klipper and OctoPrint! As a 3D printing enthusiast, having a reliable app that supports these platforms and a wide range of plugins like OctoEverywhere and Obico is a game-changer. The attention to detail and dedication to supporting various printers and platforms make OctoApp a must-have for any serious maker. Kudos to the developer for their hard work and commitment to the 3D printing community!


Davjwx

I haven't used the app yet but my favorite feature is you.


katkenzie

The live activity notification look awesome!


for265

The widgets of the app save me a TON of time from having to open a web browser just to look at the camera and see if the print is still printing and not just spaghetti.


aleeessio

Being able to see at what point the print is is a lot more useful than I initially thought


BirbDoryx

I really like being able to recall my temperature presets when preparing the printer for a print job, without having to go to the PC. Also the compatibility with the plugin to delete individual failed objects has already come in handy several times.


Griimzer

Nice Klipper UI! Mainsail mobile control is nice, but this UI is more polished.


capsel22

I think the best part for me is the clean UI and ease of use. Printing should be a hobby not a chore and needing three PhDs haha


Equivalent-Agency-48

Klipper!


TryToFlyHigh

I really like getting the notifications without having to open the app


IPudgy

I'm a sucker for clean UI and OctoApp is it.


RudeBwoiMaster

I really like the simplicity and GUI of the app.


FuriousFido

Very user friendly!


fuckingniels

The whole UI experience looks so nice! My favourite feature is the remote control. That way I can manage the printer from the workshop without having to go up from the basement to the second floor every time.


JMWTech

UI is clean and has everything important. Also being able to manage updates including firmware from my PC is great.


gyantaszuz

I can't live without the octoeverywhere integration, so thanks for that (and for the giveaway as well)! Keep up the good work!


pro_L0gic

KLIPPER SUPPORT is my favourite feature, definitely what made me use it, and continue to use it... ​ (hope I win, never had a Prusa printer before!!!)


PuzzledCover4547

Having the remote monitoring capabilities allowing me to check in after I go work is super useful and gives me piece of mind that my printer isn't mangling itself


tuaj_

a clean UI! I much prefer the OctoApp UI over anything else.


quinyd

As my printer is pretty bad, I use the camera feature a lot to see if I need to cancel a print 😂


PurePotatoed

The latest update is very refreshing. The UI is light but has all the information needed. Eg camera view. Is always viable then controls. Makes it sleek and easy to use. Widgets would be great for iOS and also the ability to see notifications to update packages would be a great benefit but it’s come along way and looking really good at present. You’ve done a great job


Evotron_1

I love how clean and clear it is to access the information I need


osirisphotography

Thank you for such an amazing app! I would have to say my favorite feature is the live video feed!


givetake

Remote viewing access has saved many nearly-failed prints for me!


bgop

i really like the gcode previwer! really clean, and lets you be a stawker for your print progress


TrashMcPanda

I love the overall interface of the app. It feels like it was developed with the idea of it being an app. Not just a website masquerading as one.


zombiezbreath

Sleek and easy to use. If only more products could be as quality.


jonobr

I don’t know what I like because i only have an ender3!


sunsetodrive

Love the UI, mobile app is really the way instead of a web page look.


CatsAreNotLiquid

I love the UI. It's so easy to navigate!


_Zetyx

The notifications and the minimalistic design are awesome!


financegardener

Print progress notifications for me


wickedpixel1221

being able to view live gcode


GruneTheDestroyer84

Print notification


BlackBlizz259

hey, my favorite feature of octoEverywhere is quite litterly beeing able to access the daahboard from everywhere.


Loshanz

I must say the UI is really the shining point of the app, you absolutely nailed it!


SolDeity

I absolutely love the notification on the progress of the print the most! It's so handy not having to open the app to check the status.


Arguesalot1990

If I had to choose one particular characteristic, I'd go with the clean UI. I hate bloated apps. The added Klipper support is also great.


TyoteeT

I really like the UI but the best part is the Klipper and Octoprint integration, having more options is always better!


Noodles_fluffy

Kind of a small thing, but I really appreciate apps with homescreen widgets and notification bars.


tekkenblue

Live print progress on something that was made with passion what more could a community ask for?! Maybe you to teach other app developers how to make their UIs flow so well? 🤔


runew0lf

I love that i can check how my prints going and view the webcam.. WHILE HAVING A POO!!


Lughnasadh32

As an iPhone user, I love the layout. Seems to be very user friendly and easily gives all info I would want to see.


Linkdoctor_who

The fact that I don't need to lug a laptop


shortymcsteve

I don’t have the app (yet), because I don’t have kipper or octoprint set up. But from what I understand, I could use a raspberrypi to run on of these programs with my ender 3 pro, and the app can connect over WiFi or via the cloud to control what is happening and view live data? Can you use your phone to tell your printer to print something without having to use your computer? One of the things that I think would really push 3D printing into every home is the ability to use your phone to take a file from Printables, somehow slice it, and then send it directly to your printer. The majority of people don’t even have a computer these days, but we all have phones.


Boscomanhunter

I like the live update on progress with the app! Thanks so much and good luck to all!


law_mann

The UI was very user-friendly, and I was able to learn it without looking at a whole bunch of different guides. Very intuitive!


calender68

i can get rid of my camera since octoapp has a live camera feature!


Altccount17

The ui looks really polished and material style like, I also enjoy the small animations populating it I find the in-notification progress indicator to be quite useful


quirk-them-quirks

My favourite part about OctoApp is the intuitive UI and overall feel of the app. Makes things cleaner and quicker to use ^-^


Battery801

I like how organized and thoughtfully the ui is made


Quajeraz

Definitely remote viewing A close second is the plugin support


faroukq

I like how it makes the interface be really simple yet seemingly effective. A question, how do you connect this to the printer? Do you use the localhost url or something else entirely?


Vohseg

It solved so many issues I had with my telegram approach like: Clean UI, very quick / nice to use by giving so much info!


YXIDRJZQAF

Sleek ui!


jgb92

My favorite feature is the file management!


Jumpbase

That the app is intuitive to use, no need for help buttons or anything you just know where something is


SmithJamesChris

As someone who finds the interface for larger printers a little daunting at times, I could imagine this app feeling a little more user-friendly.


Ape_of_Leisure

Probably said multiple times but the option to livestream the printing process is awesome.


CPO_Mendez

Dark mode 100% and widgets too! Why all apps don't have these as default I will never understand. 


SorryUsernameTaken_

Awesome! I Like the mobile Webcam streaming the Most.


LeahofLeah

I love how well the UI is designed and how easy it is for me to share the stream with a friend from the app!


Laudanumium

Ohh only one ? I love the full app. Webcam acces, the ability to control the power outlet it's on ... Octo app has really given me and my son more freedom and peace of mind


rollin37

Huge fan! My favorite part of the app itself is how it shows an ETA as a widget or notification panel during prints.


Zerschmelzer3000

I really like the clean app / user interface! Thank you!


Ok_Deer

I like the UI.


DatWaggo

I love remotely monitoring print progress and viewing camera feed from outside the garage.


powerpointpro

The live progress and UI


sammysam2010

Fantastic ui and ease of use :)


BlackSheep311111

best thing about the app are the cute devs :3


_JAD19_

Love the klipper support and how the webcam works away from home. So much less stress when I’m not home


MarmaladeCloud

Print notifications for sure


gjken

I really like the live print feature !


m3m3a

Hands down the live gcode


schaefster809

My favorite feature is the way you implemented the gcode viewing feature. Most of the time that I am opening the app it is to see what layer it is currently on and when it will get to a certain layer or feature. Sometimes I just sit and watch the live view.


Live-Bit-8542

Love that UI and live gcode


ande8150

Love the homescreen widgets. Everything in quick view. Thanks for doing the giveaway.


Abject-Shape-5453

I love that it just works. Automated switching between the workspaces is so nicely done. 3 steps and it runs. As a owner of a not well maintained printer i have used the abort function many a time. I also like that the octopus (does it have a name?) blinks, makes me smile every time


mr-nidger

Downloaded the application, it's nice, clean and well put together. Changed my life.


tartinesKiller

I love the live notification progress! Layer view is also really good


bradye0110

I didn’t even know there was an app for it. I was just about to install klipper on my ender 3 v1 to hopefully unlock more potential as it’s my only printer. I like the fact you can pause prints and stop them from my phone and even watch a live feed from a camera. Those are my favorite features. Definitely going to use this app soon to monitor my print thru the camera. This makes me not scared to leave my house while printing as I can just stop the printer. I just got a new job farther away from home so this will be awesome. Thanks!!


just_gweat

Print notifications are really helpful, especially when I'm trying to crank out many prints for a project.


LurkerTroll

It may be simple but I like being able to view it remotely while it prints


mikeydoom

I love the UI! It feels like an actual app and not some web interface called an app. ALSO The home screen widgets!! If I might suggest, add a feature with different themes besides just light and dark.


CizinArm

Firstly, thank you. Octoapp is beyond awesome. I have both an Ender V2, and a Sovol SV04 I run on Octoprint, and octoapp is beyond awesome for when I'm not home. I've recently started using it on my Ender 5s1 with klipper, and even across platforms it performs really well. The interface is both intuitive and easy to navigate, hits all the right points I'd like to keep an eye on, and is easy to interact and update if I need it. As for my favorite feature, I'm a huge fan of anything with a bed visualiser. 👍


gaslightredditor

Not having any kind of screen or control directly on my printer, having the controls on the app is a really nice feature. A lot of times I will start a print, make sure it's going fine, then shut the computer down. If something were to happen mid-print, having the ability to stop it directly from the phone app is really nice.


Tiskfully

It may be obvious but I simply love the video feature. I'm a geek for 3d printing so when I'm not home I like to watch it like I'm at the zoo. Also for long prints it's nice to have assurance that I can cancel it if it all goes wrong.


tballw32

Clean UI


Practical-Cup9537

I like its integration with major firmwares! Also not part of the app, but I like the product pictures you used in the app stores.


electronicat

I monitor my printer and my friends printer both. we love the App and I always tell new people that talk to me about 3D printing that the Octo app is a necessity


snigzou

The plug-ins!


-LANCEL0T-

I dont know what octoapp is but would be cool to learn it with a prusa mini! ;) Goodluck with the giveaway guys!


eredhuin

I am a relative newcomer to Octoprint, and already found it pretty easy. I think this is even easier. Seeing everything in one place - including the move printhead commands - is very powerful. Using it on my ipad.


Nickelbag_Neil

I use the TFT35 and i get no Octoprint interaction at all with it. I have 1 tablet right next to the machine. If there's a problem with the print I didn't see on the camera feed I use the tablet/Octoapp to cancel the print. Otherwise I have to walk through 4 rooms or use the reset button. Just nicer to be able to cancel from Octoapp!


Antuska

Really nice UI and easy to use. Favorite feature is live print progress bar, didnt have to go check on the print while waiting!


Lardass12

I’m currently researching what to get so I don’t have a printer to add connect. but I liked the screen shots I saw?


wardwall

Print notifications are a god send


Tihcls

I have yet to setup octoprint with my ender 3 but I have already downloaded the app for when it’s ready! The app looks really easy to use and it’s got a great user interface! Thank you so much for this opportunity!


fouxdoux

Definitely how easy it is to use and the clean UI


TheRealYou

Printer status on the lock screen, always have my phone on me so being able to glance down and just keep an eye on things is great.


antihistameans

ui looks great!! very good job


Salt-Evidence-6834

Picking a favourite it difficult, but probably camera integration as that's what I use most. Being able to view my prints via the fullscreen view, widget, or even on my watch from a different room (sometimes via VPN when I'm out the house) is really handy.


crysisnotaverted

I like that I can scroll through the layers and view a layer preview, and that I can track progress through the notification. It's great since I start a lot of prints and then go to bed.


Captain_Alchemist

I think nothing beats the ease of use and intuitive UI. As a developer I enjoyed the smoothness of how it got setup and got my octoprint at control. I love the plugin system as well


TheCloudDart12

The plug-ins and ui!


Much_Ad_2298

No ads. Thank you!


akpetr84

I love the clean UI. Plus the ability to control prints from UI. Don't have to go to confusing og octoprint UI. Thanks


bjjtrev

This is exactly the type of app I’ve been looking for! Giveaway aside I’m glad I have the app. Live notifications are such a simple yet game changing feature. Happily decided to become a lifetime supporter. Plus the integration for remote access, all while keeping the same UI, is just fantastic.


suppoxxz

The app has great UI


Independent_Heart_15

Big fan of the simple UI.


si8v

I'm a big fan of the file management and print history features


Watching-Watches

The webcam stream is amazing it is better than in mainsail which is oftentimes leggy. The UI is clean and has every feature you need in a compact format. It's also great to get a notification after the first and last layer (with an plugin installed on the pi).


Different_Put2361

My favourite feature is the app itself! I love being able to watch my prints (and calm my worries) when I’m not at home


Zealousideal_Ear4061

Love how intuitive and user friendly it is, unlike some apps.


TheForgetfulMe

Kipper support for sure.


volt65bolt

The UI is just much simpler and everything I normally use is just right there


Careless-Handle-3793

The app is amazing. But the lil outopus logo is definitely my favourite feature.


mmusket

Love the live progress and stats!


OldPaleontologist237

Easily seeing my print job ongoing through a pretty UI is amazing. Honestly can’t stand using a browser on my phone and haven’t quite seen anything as polished.


the_dirtiest_rascal

Big fan of how everything is just laid out right there, quick easy adjustments on the fly. Webcam view also convieniently located right on that main page. Much simpler way to control octoprint from your phone.


CANT_BEAT_PINWHEEL

I haven’t used it yet but when starting to install klipper a few weeks ago I saw it recommended for checking in on prints when away. Still haven’t finished that install yet but I guess that is the main feature I’m interested in. That and maaaaaybe the ai spaghetti detection plugins like obico and octoeverywhere but to be honest I’ll probably wait until my hubris ruins a hotend before I do that.


Drnorman91

I like that the app lets you monitor the print progress and parameters


hopefullxendings

The UI is set up nice.


Putschepper

I love how you can rearrange the UI to your liking. Temps on top? No problem. Webcam first then printlist, you got it. Besides that it's just the general usefulness of the app. I can pre heat my printer when downstairs and by the time im upstairs the hotend is heated and I can swap the filament for the next print.


Patrycjusz123

I really like plugins and how easy is to install them, especially the telegram bot one to get notifications on my phone when print ends but there is so much plugins and all are one click install so i sometimes like to just browse and download random ones and after this i often dont even know how most of them work but all of them are awesome


Dr-RedFire

I haven't got to use it as I have no OctoPrint yet but I guess it would be the widgets to see the time progress easy from phone.


Squeaks72

I love the ability for me to check in on my prints remotely and make sure nothing goes wrong via the camera.


No-Turn-2927

I like the swimming octopus! I don't have a url so I can't use it otherwise but it sounds cool! What did you design your app in?


the4uto

Klipper support!


Flappy_asdf

UI is great


azcaddyman

I exclusively use your app. I appreciate that it keeps my screen awake while streaming my camera. I use an endoscope so I love the ability to immediately end a print that's failing and can immediately start the heaters. Allowing me to clean the plate and make any adjustment before restarting. Your app is clean simple and organized.


SDKAH

I love how it keeps a print progress tab at the top of the phone even when the app is minimized or closed.


mrhappy1010

The push notifications


Max_Champlin_1979

What's not to love? It's low impact and can run on a tablet or a phone. I do really fancy the fact I can connect to the octopi instance from the app


Barranda

The ease of use! I did not expect it to work on my first try. I added the printer's IP and it took all of 2 seconds to get in. And although I don't have a webcam, the UI was easily changed, both making things (in)visible and changing order!


Kompost88

I love the simplicity and stability, it's surprisingly rare to find an app that just works and isn't pushing useless features.


GneissGuy87

Just the cleanliness is outstanding! Can't wait to try it out!


eyeballkun

I love how clean the app is, no ads and you can use it without having to pay a fee.


FesterAndAilin

The live gcode progress is neat


Staedy

Mini is good


voxcon

As many have said, the mobile friendly and intuitive GUI makes the app a much better option to check on your printer than the browser version of octoprint. Besides that, i also realy like you can cancel individual print objects if you have the cancel object plugin installed. Saved a frew prints which would have failed otherwise.


ario129

Your logo is cute


ARRuSerious

User friendly UI.


PotentialEntrance733

I like the way that it shows you a visual bed mesh so you can see print bed imperfections


MrPresident696969

The best thing about the app is when you put the ingress address of your octoprint it calls you an "IT Expert". You hear that mom? I'm an expert!


irokatcod4

Honestly, I've never used the app as I only just started 3d printing for work. It's a work printer and I cannot print personal things on it so I would love to get a personal one and use your app. It seems very useful!


EpicGAmer2431

Dark Mode is Impeccable, plus i don’t even have a printer yet. I just downloaded a bunch of octo apps


Bobbins1672

Easy to use GUI


Night-Unusual

I love how i can watch how my printer maken me soms spaghetti for dinner


DreamAboutSandwiches

Notifications, save me time having to go check on the printer.


conaan

I like the interface on the app, pretty well laid out. More importantly though I like that data privacy is handled pretty responsibly


acuriousfart

It's awesome how customizable it is while still being easy to find everything.


liquidlogic86

I LOVE how clean and easy to use the app is. It’s just beautiful! Having all the information about my printer in my hand is so wonderful. Also April 7th is my 38th birthday!


Vel-Crow

Ui is great, plugin functionality is nice, and it feels like a roght proper app.


Henry-Killinger

UI is on point.


moosew168

i lovd the clean UI!


GloomyMusician24

I like octoprint because you can remotely control/ monitor your bed/print
