NOTES:
1. For any type of help please use GitHub channel. I can't provide any type of support in google play store comments.
2. On Android versions "Marshmallow" or above, use your OS permission manager and grant "Read External Storage" permission in order to get file streaming working.
3. G-Code files can be placed anywhere in the phone memory or external storage, but they must end with one of the supported extensions .gcoce or .nc or .tap or .ngc
4. If you are connecting Bluetooth module first time to your machine, then make sure you have changed the baud rate of the BT module to 115200. (Default baud rate of the GRBL 1.1v firmware is 115200 as 8-N-1 (8-bits, no parity, and 1-stop bit)).
6. USB otg only works with grbl baud rate of 115200.
7. For interface documentation and wiki pages visit https://zeevy.github.io/grblcontroller/
8 To get the application work in background with out any issues, you should disable power management ( if applicable ) for this application.

The free app worked fantastic.It works flawlessly. I upgraded to the plus version and it will not let me choose files to run. It errors all the time while jogging. It will not go to zero x and y per the built in button. I was expecting the same positive experience as the free version but I was disappointed. ** Before leaving this review I did email the developer with screenshots and description of issues.

Excellent GRBL CNC Controller. Works with Amazon Kindle Fire 7 tablet and Arduino Uno with CNC shield. I have been running the setup for over a year without issues. The Arduino is connected via OTG cable. I have this running an MPCNC Primo milling machine. I can either download .gcode files from Google drive or USB stick through powered USB hub after Arduino is connected and software is running. Note: Servo timeout needs to be disabled before using to prevent Z-axis drifting.

Excellent so far, easy to use and reliable. If height mapping gets included It'll be worth 5 stars

Thank you for the Grbl controller app. It has let me breathe new life into an otherwise obsolete old Galaxy tab 3 Lite. I use it to control a diy Dremel cnc (by Nikodem Bartnik - Thingiverse) that I built and am using to get my toe into the fascinating world of CnC machining.

Great open-source software. Its the first app that I paid for even though the free version is perfect.
