Kraken for OctoPrint Reviews

by Wood-pro

Doesn’t work remotely I want a refund.

It looks great but hardly functions as it’s supposed to. No camera stream unless I’m home, isn’t the whole point of it to monitor my printer when I’m not home?

by Ycbinrm

Paid for the upgrade and now no camera view. Lost the stream. Octopod is a much better app and has been flawless.

Kraken worked better as the free version. Paid version I lost camera access and it won’t let you send bug reports through Kraken . You can type up a big report but the send button isn’t selectable.

So Kraken would be great if the camera setting would ever work. I have constantly tried to get it to work. I have upgraded to pro tried all of the ip’s that I can use to access my octoprint with the address in settings for my camera if I can get it working my review will get better.

Great functionality and monitoring, except the camera stream never works for me. Works in other Octoprint apps, but not this one.

by Superthrust

The camera function is broken after the most recent update. Otherwise absolutely five stars

For people that need to see printer outside home. A DynDNS is needed. API is good call, but if you have several printers is costs an upgrade.
If you have octiprint running anyway, and a DNS entry, you can always see it from the web without Kraken.

Value is good for quick looks. Control is better with other apps/sites.

Needs to be able to do more.

You have multiple printers but how about multiple cameras on the same printer?

Is there a way to stop a print or turn off your printer and can you add new prints

by Walkermatt

I can’t fully say how much I love Kraken. It does everything I need it to AND it actually works. I have remote access to my printer 24/7 and it’s great for remote monitoring for failures and also trying to do filament changes. I dislike having to go back and forth from computer to printer just to heat/extrude/retract/extrude/cool down. Manual bed leveling is also greatly helped since I can just tap the interval I want to move the bed and go vs clicking through my printer’s menu, which isn’t all that user friendly to be quite honest. One of these days I’ll add an automatic leveler, but until then this app does the job better than I could have imagined.

I paid for the full version of Kraken. Definitely worth every penny.

This is a great app. Easy to use and perfect for remotely monitoring your 3D prints.

This is a great OctoPrint experience on the iPad and iPhone.

by Flyfishe

Setup is easy and it works great

by Lopezcb456

After most recent update

by Alex Da Papaya

There is a pro membership but at least no adds in free version

by Russdogg

This is a pretty simple but solid app for viewing your Octoprint setup, I look forward to seeing what future updates they have coming!

by Sirskinny

Great app. Only thought, and I don’t know if this is feasible, but a widget that shows the camera feed. Again I don’t know if a widget can do that but it would be so cool!
