# Mobile app for your 3D printer: iOS and Android, every brand, free **Minimum Plan:** Free 3D printers don't normally have a mobile app - yours does, no matter the brand. SimplyPrint's free iPhone and Android app watches your camera, sends push notifications on every print event, pauses or cancels prints from anywhere, and surfaces AI failure alerts with a snapshot of what went wrong. Works with Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality, Anycubic, OctoPrint and more. **Categories:** core *Most 3D printers don't have a mobile app. Yours does.* ## Mobile app for your 3D printer Prusa, Creality, Anycubic and OctoPrint don't ship a first-party mobile app. Bambu Lab does (Bambu Handy), but it only sees Bambu Lab printers. SimplyPrint's app sees them all - one free app, one login, every printer in your account, with a live camera, one-tap pause and cancel, and AI failure alerts on the device that's always with you. Included on every plan, including Free. ## The companion to the SimplyPrint web panel Sign in once with the same account you use on simplyprint.io and every printer, camera and notification setting is right there. No extra setup, no separate subscription, no per-device fee. The app is included on every plan from Free to Enterprise. ## AI failure detection, right on your lock screen If our AI Failure Detection catches a problem mid-print, the alert lands on your phone with a snapshot of the camera and a confidence gauge. You can pause or cancel the print from the notification itself - no need to unlock the app, fire up a laptop or drive home. The webcam tile updates live, the AI overlay shows where the model thinks the issue is, and a single tap stops the printer before it wastes another hour of filament. ## Pause, cancel and resume in one tap Tap any printer to see its live camera in full screen with Pause and Cancel buttons sitting right under it. Whatever you can do from the web panel - pause mid-print, cancel a failed one, resume after a filament change, preheat the next job - you can do from the app. Pinch to zoom on the camera, rotate to landscape, and keep an eye on the bed while you're on the couch, in a meeting or at the gym. ## Push notifications when it matters Get a notification on your lock screen the moment a print starts, finishes, pauses, is cancelled, runs out of filament or fails. Notifications fire through your phone's native notification system, so they show up even when the app is closed. You choose which events notify you, per printer, and you can mute a single machine without touching the others. ## Built for one printer or one hundred The app scales with your account. Hobbyists watching one printer get a clean home screen with the live camera and a single status row. Print farms and school labs running dozens of machines get the same grouped, filterable list the web panel offers - sort by group, model or state, and jump straight to the printer that needs attention. ## Included on every plan, including Free No app subscription, no per-device fee, no premium tier - the app mirrors whatever your plan unlocks on the web. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does the app cost extra? No. The SimplyPrint app is free to install and is included with every SimplyPrint plan - including the Free plan. Sign in with the same account you use on simplyprint.io. ### Is it on iOS and Android? Yes. The app is published on the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad, and on the Google Play Store for Android phones and tablets. ### Will I get notifications when the app is closed? Yes. Push notifications are delivered through your phone's notification system, so you'll see them on the lock screen and in your notification tray even when the app isn't open. Grant notification permission the first time you sign in. ### Does it work offline? The app needs an internet connection to talk to SimplyPrint's cloud and your printers, the same way the web panel does. Everything routes through your SimplyPrint account so you can see your printers from anywhere in the world. ### Does it support multiple printers? Yes - from one to hundreds. The printer list groups by your existing printer groups, shows live status badges, and lets you filter by model, state or group. ### Can I do everything I can do on the web? The app covers day-to-day monitoring and control: camera, pause / cancel / resume, push notifications and AI alerts. Heavy authoring work - configuring printer settings, slicing models, setting up the print queue from scratch - is still best done on the web panel where there's more room to work. ### What can I do on mobile vs the web panel? All monitoring and print-lifecycle controls work on mobile: start, pause, cancel, resume, clear bed, view cameras and receive notifications. Heavier authoring tasks - slicing files, building printer profiles from scratch, deep settings and admin work - are still web-only because they need the screen real estate. ### What devices support the app? iOS 15 and later, Android 9 and later. ### Is the app required to use SimplyPrint? No. SimplyPrint runs entirely in the browser at simplyprint.io/panel and works on desktop, tablet and mobile browsers. The app is a convenience layer for phones - install it if you want richer push notifications and native camera streaming. --- **Learn more:** [Help Article](https://help.simplyprint.io/en/article/simplyprint-on-your-phone-the-mobile-app-vfelp5/)
