Review summary

SimplyPrint is praised for its user-friendly design, easy multi-printer management, and effective OctoPrint integration, enabling mobile control and monitoring of 3D prints. However, it heavily depends on OctoPrint, lacks direct USB support, and faces compatibility issues with certain printer models. Users have reported setup difficulties and deteriorated app performance after the free trial, including inaccurate printer status and slow updates. Some experienced printer malfunctions attributed to the app. Overall, while the app offers convenient remote printing features, it requires better printer support and customer assistance.

Pros

User friendly interface that simplifies common 3D printing tasks.
Supports managing multiple printers simultaneously with easy setup.
Provides decent integration with OctoPrint, enabling remote monitoring and control.
Allows remote print start and monitoring via mobile devices.

Cons

Requires OctoPrint or similar setup; does not support direct USB connection.
Issues with printer compatibility, notably with some models like Ultimaker S3 and Prusa i3 MK3S+ with Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W.
Poor customer support and limited help with setup difficulties.
After free trial ends, app functionality degrades (e.g., delayed photo updates, printer status inaccuracies).
App sometimes causes printer malfunctions during use, disrupting prints.

pretty cool
2024-09-09	st*****	Downloaded. The description is bad . Dose not indicate you need octo print or other, because this wasn't mentioned I assumed USB cable would be applicable. Seems like a information farm as you have to sign up for an account before. You can veiw the app. But I wouldn't know as I didn't create an account to be let down by the fact that it's just a expensive ui.

2024-05-21	Ji*****	It would be nice if we could just select a printer and use the slicer without having to connect to the printer. I have a Creality Wi-Fi box and would love to test out the Simply Print slicer and download the STL before deciding if I want to set up OctoPrint. It would even be great as a mobile-based slicer for those who don't have a connected printer since there is a lack of mobile-based slicers. Please consider this option.

2024-04-16	Ro*****	No good for me! The app DOESN'T SUPPORT ULTIMAKER S3 3D PRINTERS! TYPICAL. Not the developers fault. Ultimaker, should've been called Ultimatum S3! 🙄😅

2024-01-12	gh*****	It was nice until 2 days before the free trial ran out. After that things started getting worse with the app showing the printer offline and then claiming the bed was set to 0°c. Now without the trial it only pulls up a photo every 6 seconds and doesn't play in real time. Imho if i didn't need something to monitor my printer at work I'd go back to using an sd card.

2023-10-18	Da*****	This app is a waste of time I installed it and made my printer fail on 3 separate prints . That was enough for me to stop using it . If Ur printing using octoprint and remote view it is fine but if you come back and open your browser to view octoprint it makes the printer chuck a fit. Even if I left my octo up on my pc went out then came home as soon as I clicked on the interface of octoprint it made the printer go nuts. Took plugin out and stopped using app all is back to normal.

2023-10-01	Ma*****	This makes so many common tasks extremely easy to do. I'm aware that plenty of this app's features are basically octo print plugins but simply print is very user friendly.
