## Review summary

Users appreciate that MKSLaser works with certain laser machines for basic engraving and control, offering Wi-Fi connectivity and manual control tools. However, multiple reviews highlight significant problems like failure to upload images, frequent disconnections during use, and lack of a cut mode. The app also suffers from UI and permission issues, limiting functionality and frustrating users seeking more versatile laser operations.

### Pros

- Works with Longer Ray 5 10W laser and some other models like ACMER P2, allowing basic control functions.
- Basic engraving functionality works, including text and simple drawing tools.
- Useful for monitoring prints and controlling manual motion on some machines.
- Connects over Wi-Fi for certain devices, enabling mobile operation without a computer.

### Cons

- Cannot upload or import images properly; the photo upload and camera functions frequently fail or are absent.
- Crashes or disconnects often during operations such as framing, causing unreliable connections to the laser machine.
- Limited to engraving mode only; no option to switch to cut mode, reducing versatility.
- User interface issues include lack of resizing or moving images, Chinese-labeled buttons even in English mode, and confusing controls.
- No support for necessary permissions on Android devices, such as accessing photos or camera, preventing full use of features.
