Flawed
The app appears to bind with the printer only through the cloud and not over WiFi. That’s stupid. It’s sitting right next to me and we are both on the same wifi network, they should communicate directly. Why is that a major issue? Because the app keeps reporting that there is a nozzle size mismatch between app and printer when there clearly is not. Obvs the app is not properly syncing with printer via the cloud. Yes, Bluetooth is turned on in my phone. Yes Studio on PC syncs OK and no nozzle issue. Only on the iPhone app. On plus side, iPhone Handy appears to allow printing of selected parts in project like the Bambu scraper tool, but surprisingly i can’t find the same option in Studio when I open this model on the PC. The hardware is outstanding, but the software is lacking. Why is the SD card in printer not accessible when in LAN mode? Again kinda dumb.
Very good and easy
Very easy to use. Can’t wait to make more things!
Not impressed
It’s a real shame that iPad and phone app versions are utterly useless unless you are printing from saved collections. I don’t understand why customers are forced to use a pc when iPads and apple pens are better to design. Because of this I haven’t been able to make anything I had intended on creating.
First Print
Ok
Awesome
Super user friendly and dummy proof
Benachrichtigungen nur erhalten wenn ich die App öffne
Keine Infos über Druckabbruch oder andere wichtige Infos, obwohl ich eine sehr starke Internetverbindung habe. Ich erhalte Benachrichtigungen erst, wenn ich in die App gehe oder sogar erst, wenn ich die Druckerseite öffne. Wenn der Druck dann seit 3 Stunden pausiert ist ohne Info, dann ist das schon sehr ärgerlich.
Great app. Needs landscape mode
This has been a really useful app, but it desperately needs to work with landscape mode on the iPad. Developers please consider that!
Da migliorare
Dopo ultimo aggiornamento non si ricevono più le notifiche iPhone 16 pro
Unreliable
Lately this app has become useless for controlling the printer or even connecting to the camera. The ONE thing that works is I can see how much time is left in a print. How does it know a print is complete if it throws an error for everything else? I can't update the printer's firmware in the middle of a print! I get that error every time, even after checking the firmware and power cycling. The only thing this app is better at than the desktop app is adding new filament and choosing the color and naming it. This app could be SO much better if it reliably connected to the printer or had ANY features of the slicer, like the ability to turn supports on.
Love the machine
Love this machine. The app makes it more user friendly. Looking things up that are ready there help save time
Keine Push Benachrichtigungen mehr
Eigentlich eine solide App mit vielen funktionen. Aber seit einiger zeit kommen keinerlei Push Benachrichtigungen mehr, egal ob eine Fehlermeldung oder eine Benachrichtigung bei Abschluss des Drucks Ziemlich mies so.
Very Useful & Handy!
A great extension of Bambu Studio’s Device tab and the front panel of the H2C. I can just check on the status and abort if adverse conditions surface during the print. Ocassionaly there is difficulty with starting the live video, but corrected closing the app and restarting it. Otherwise, a very beneficial extension of the Bambu environment.
War mal besser
App startet den Druck nicht mehr Nervt nur noch War vorher auch übersichtlicher Und fehlen immernoch essenzielle Funktionen Ist aber auf dem Rechner auch nicht besser Kann man nicht mal Rezensionen oder Bewertungen lesen Ziemlich Sinn befreit Aber augenscheinlich immernoch besser als bei anderen Herstellern…. Bin Aufjeden kein so großer Fan mehr !
Da ist noch Luft nach oben
Trotz Kompatibilität mit dem IPad funktioniert die App nur im Hochformat. In Verbindung mit einem X2D gestaltet sich der Mehrfarbige Druck schwierig. Dabei werden Farben gerne mal vertauscht und man findet nicht heraus woran es liegt oder es gelingt das zu tauschen. Das kann z.B. die Mac OS Version deutlich besser.
Greatness
Found my new hobby I love it so much very easy and simple to use
駄目だね
クラウドは落ちるし、ローカルはわざと機能を制限して同じネットワーク内のスマホから使えないし、異常停止してもプリンターのディスプレイには何もステータス表示されない、もう時代遅れです。
First print
First time worked great, so far!
What happened?!
Great until the update
не работает после обновления
после обновления приложения грузит очень долго ,новый аккаунт не регистрирует ,принтер не находит ,пишет ,что не в сети , что либо напечатать не получается,решите пожалуйста эту проблему
Must have
Perfect for running my H2D
Unreliable and Instrusive
Bambu
Great but with one annoying bug
Please fix the print queue items won't delete issue. I think I've deleted it but then it just reappears. Maybe an option to completely clear print queue too.
Would have gotten 5 stars…
But they removed the ability to print from an external drive from the phone app which has totally broken my workflow. They need to add that ability back, I want to have 1000s private files on my own storage, not limited cloud storage. Please change it back and you will get my review changed to 5 star.
Fine
Doesn’t let me change printing mode it only stays at standard also it is way to hard to print with ams
Great machine
Really fun. My family and I are enjoying our printer and app
App is bad
This app is hard to use, really confusing and there is no help or assistance area. Before they updated the app I was happy to use it. However now I'm avoiding my printer just so I don't need to use it. I would recommend useing the software on your laptop/pc as it is straightforward
First print after test print and already got a warning
“Fan speed abnormal”
Gestionnaire de filaments
L’intégration de la gestion de filament est super ce qui permet de bien gérer le stock restant. Par contre ce qui est dommage, c’est que les notes que nous laissons sur les filaments ne sont pas visibles directement lors du choix de la bobine. Exemple une bobine PLA noire classique et une bobine PLA noire soie, impossible de savoir laquelle nous choisissons. ce module peut être grandement amélioré.
Amazing App
Love the ability to view the print through the app.
Buggy
Login does not work, buggy.
good but some glitches
everything was normal and it was a 5 stars. then one day i opened the app and my devices tab and my models tab wasnt loading, so i couldnt print anything. still havent fixed to this day!!!!
Need iPad version
It’s great but you really need an iPad version, it’s just a different resolution and some minor changes to the app layout to support, please add it as using half the screen is silly.
Love, love, love it
Once you get used to it is an indispensable guide and great tool
Low quality
Embarrassing app compared to printer quality. Laggy, unreliable, poorly conceived. Half the time unable to connect to the printer for the most basic functions.
Bambu
It’s a great app for Bambu lab printers with great 3d models

Very good for printing stuff
It works very well but less so for non bambu labs printers
Attention.
Attention! Cela ne fonctionne que sur les structure ovales Donc impression pour rien 😅
YES, JUST YES.
App so great my dih became hard and large.
アップグレードで使えなくなった
今まで使えたのに、急に使えなくなった、かってにアップグレードされて使えない、ダウングレードしたい。
Downloading and making projects
The reason why I took away on star is because it isn’t easy or clear to download other peoples models and edit them for your own size. I don’t even know if you can download other peoples models but it would be a great thing to add and if it is already a thing please make it more easy because I have no idea how to make a project or edit other peoples projects.
