## Review summary

Multiple users report significant connectivity problems between the app and the Zip printer, including failure to print and device recognition issues. Firmware updates through the app often fail or break printer functionality. Users also face app crashes and poor editing features, with inaccurate print color output. Despite these issues, the app can print mini photos wirelessly and supports some editing and collage functions. Poor customer support and questionable permission requests add to user frustration, with many longing for the older, more reliable versions.
