User Reviews

Overall, users praise the app for ease of use and the ability to print crisp labels quickly, and many value the convenience of printing from the app. Yet they repeatedly report stability and reliability problems: frequent crashes and lost work, inconsistent color output (proof vs. print) or dull colors, and inconsistent connectivity with the printer (Wi‑Fi/2G issues). Additional pain points include wasting label material due to feeding/cutting errors and the lack of cross-device library syncing, plus dissatisfaction with the new app version compared to the old one. Some still like the basic functionality and the color-capable printer when it works.
Pros
  • Very easy to use / intuitive interface.
  • Prints beautifully with crisp label quality when it works.
  • Convenient to print labels directly from the app.
  • Color printing capability on the device.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and loss of saved work; stability issues.
  • Color accuracy issues; prints do not match proofs or appear dull.
  • Printer connectivity problems; unreliable Wi-Fi/2G connection.
  • Excessive label material waste due to feeding/cutting errors.
  • Lack of cross-device library syncing; labels not shared across devices.

Not only does it waste enough paper for a lot of labels just in turning it on and at the end of the roll but after a year and limited use, in mid print it stopped showing the WiFi signal so now I have a very expensive paperweight and over $100 in useless labels.

Very easy to use. Prints beautifully. Love the convenience of having it to print my labels. Need to know where I can purchase the round 2” labels.
