Hmmm.. Is This App For Real?

So my MK4 was printing at night, and I saw this app and thought I would try it on my iPad.  Maybe there are multiple apps, but this one is called PRUSA and its orange.  Maybe I'm missing something but it looks like it was a 4th grade programming project.  Lots of bad grammar, and very strange things.  On the top is various printer states, so I guess it displays all the jobs in that state. If you click one with no printers in that state it says "Here is everything solved". What does that mean?  Looks like the only controls are "Stop" or "Pause."  Why nothing else?  Also, the funniest part is this. So, since there is no camera, the app attempts to show you how much of your print is completed by highlighting that part orange.  The only problem, instead of doing it from print bed up, like a 3D printer prints, it goes from one corner up on the y axis.  So strange.  

If PRUSA was a 2 or 3 person company, I'd say OK, but they are not.  Its very sad.

RE: Hmmm.. Is This App For Real?

It is a sad app. I currently have five printers turned off. In Overview they correctly show as Offline. If I click on the Offline tab, none of them shows, but the do when I go to the Idle tab. Go figure. But that's actually an improvement; in previous versions offline printers would show as idle instead of offline, but only some not all, and some would even show nozzle temperatures even though they're turned off.

I was looking at a print at night that was to complete the next day.  It said "Was completed tomorrow."
