Review summary

SharpFox is quick to set up and good for basic, on-the-go printing from iPhone, especially for 4x6 label tasks, with cost benefits from using thermal paper. However, users report persistent Bluetooth problems, one-page printing limitations, a clunky UX with little guidance, unit sizing constraints, and language barriers that hinder support.
Pros
  • Quick and easy setup leading to fast initial printing
  • Direct printing from iPhone, suitable for portable use
  • Supports 4x6 label printing and common label workflows
  • Portable and convenient for on-the-go printing
  • Cost-effective printing with thermal paper and simple use for basic tasks
Cons
  • Persistent Bluetooth connection issues and timeouts/disconnections
  • Only prints one page or has issues with multi-page printing
  • Sparse instructions and a confusing user experience without helpful guides
  • Inability to switch between metric and inches; limited image sizing options
  • Language/support barriers (non-English assistance) and inconsistent help resources

2026-02-19 DC***** It works, but if you want to do anything other than just print straight tax, it gets pretty awful to figure out. There are no instructions or help files. Tried to print vertical text and I did it, but have no idea how I got there; I have to fuss around with it every time. Be prepared for a LOT of poking around before you get what you want.

2025-11-20 No***** This not an easy app to use but it does work. The main thing to understand is that some “fiddling around” is required. What you want to print has to be in the SharpFox folder within Files. You can also print screenshots, photos, files that are in DropBox, etc. The installation was very simple. The Bluetooth connection is made through the app, not Settings. One thing that is irritating is that the connection times out pretty quickly. But all in all, I’m satisfied.

2025-10-07 BI***** I hate I spent money on a printer that it’s attached to this app. Waste of money, time and anything else valuable. Sporadic at best.

2025-08-09 Ta***** App is good it has good functions, but it needs inches in the image sizing it’d be helpful for lots of people using the app.

2025-07-03 A ***** This app needs a lot more updates, I can’t change from metric to inches. You can’t size images from sides just diagonally. Needs a lot of work!
