Review summary

Users praise Katasymbol for being very easy to use and install, with cross-device compatibility (Mac and iPhone) and the ability to save and reuse templates, plus a range of templates that help create professional labels. However, multiple reviews note reliability problems: the app frequently crashes, has connectivity and printing issues that prevent printing, and concerns about data collection and privacy practices. Some also mention OS-related glitches and the impact of updates on saved work.
Pros
  • Very easy to use and quick to learn, with straightforward design.
  • Works across Mac and iPhone/iPad, making it easy to print from multiple devices.
  • Supports saving and reusing templates, plus a wide library of label templates and shapes.
  • Produces professional-looking labels that help organize products and spaces.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and instability, especially when connecting to the printer.
  • Connectivity and printing problems persist (unable to connect to the printer or print correctly, occasional data errors).
  • Privacy concerns due to data-sharing policies linked to the app and device.

2026-08-09 ge***** After an update, it says it detected counterfeit supplies and won’t work. Been using this for years without issue.

2026-08-01 Ja***** Purchased the label maker last year from Amazon. Worked fine with the original tape, bought some tape clearly marked as “compatible” from (and actually suggested by) Amazon. Worked fine. Now with the most recent update of THIS APP, the tape that’s already in the maker, marketed as “compatible” fails the RFID check. Apparently the app update enforces stricter checking. So while that isn’t the app’s “fault”, per se, the app update DID cause this. Naturally the SUPVAN tape costs more than the label maker cost originally, so this app - and the label maker it is associated with - are being replaced by something else.

2026-07-30 td***** The label maker works fine as is. The app is easy enough to figure out. However, it would be really nice to be able to upload custom templates to the app. .aml seems to be the popular choice.

2026-07-24 Bi***** Version 1.3.23 now rejects label rolls that have previously worked for months with my E10. The app reports ‘Counterfeit supplies detected’ on rolls that were successfully used before the update.

2026-07-23 bo***** I’ve been using third-party tape without issue. After updating to 1.3.23, the app now says ‘Counterfeit supplies detected’ and refuses to print. This changed after the update and now I can’t use my tape. I used this last night. Today, no dice.

2026-06-28 ox***** Unable to get this to connect over USB or Bluetooth on my Apple Silicon MacBook on MacOS 26.5.1. Had much better luck with Print Editor, which is an iOS app but which runs fine on Apple Silicon Macs and appears more polished anyways.
