## Review summary

The app is easy to use and has been reliable for many users, with several praising its mobile printing/scanning capabilities. However, a large number of reviews report serious reliability problems: connectivity failures, crashes, and bugs; compatibility issues with newer Samsung devices and Android versions due to slow updates; login hurdles; and tricky printer recognition/setup. While it can work well for some, overall stability and device compatibility need substantial improvement to satisfy a broad user base.
