> 3 dayRefused to connect to both my phones even after a few days of trying. Only connected to my PC once, and disconnected, and never could reconnect again. Couldve been a dead unit, but I didnt have time to care to try again. Another caveat -- the labels are tinier than what you expect. So definitely make sure its the right size for you.

> 3 dayI had high hopes for this, I was able to get it connected via Bluetooth on my Samsung S10. But the app never was able to connect to it. Hard to know exactly where the problem is, either the app or the Bluetooth connection. The instructions leave a lot to be desired. I will keep trying and edit.

Greater than one weekI’m excited the label maker is easy to get started and comes with 3 roles of label tape. It’s so useful turning my files from hand written to nice and neat. So many uses : spice and canning jars, craft boxes and in garage to label boxes of nails and screws with name and sizes

Greater than one weekThis label maker is very handy to have. It thermal prints - so no ink to replace ever. The directions provided are minimal but with some exploring while making labels, its easy to find where to change fonts, font size, make font bold (or underline or italic)... The app is necessary to use this because the app is where the labels are created and the print command is given.

> 3 dayI have a bit of a think for little label printers. I liked that this one could print wider labels, and it’s just plain cute. It works pretty well, print quality is a bit disappointing compared to other thermal label printers I have. My biggest issue is the app. It’s clunky, offers very few fonts with no ability to add your own fonts, and while it has a nice little icon library, there’s no search function or no way to mark favorites. Overall I feel like for the $55 price tag (At time of review) it should be better quality with amore control in the app.

> 3 daySo I just got this yesterday, and I love it! It is super stylish! Way easy to learn to use it and way easy to use! Pairs so easily to your phone or your laptop! Oh and I didnt know this when I ordered it, but it comes with 1 roll of labels in the printer already, and 3 more large rolls in the package for you! It also comes with a new Type C Charger and a basic user manual to tell you how to connect it to your devices, has FAQs in there for you in case you get stuck, a qr code in the pamphlet for easy app installation and bluetooth pairing. I mean its perfect!!! Oh I did want to mention for anyone who might want to know this! It does only print in black & white! Thats the only thing I would change about it if I could!

> 3 dayUPDATE: This morning I picked up this label printer to print off some inventory labels. Its now bedtime and still no labels because Ive been unable to get the printer to connect with the app. It turns on, the blue light comes on, but no connection. Thinking maybe it needed to be charged before it would connect, I charged it during the day. Still no connection. In fact, the app cant even find a printer to which it can connect. Very disappointing, especially since Ive invested in several rolls of label tape specifically for this machine. Im returning it for a replacement. If that one works any better Ill update again, but based on my experience today Im afraid this printer just doesnt deliver. ORIGINAL: This little label printer is somewhat of a tease. The body forms a sort of typewriter shape, complete with what appears to be a keyboard. The keys of the keyboard dont do anything, especially to help with printing the labels. The top of the printer opens using a knob on the side, popping up the printer lid when you push it forward. In order to print labels or interact with the printer, you must first download and install an app called iLabel from whatever app store you use. This app is mostly intuitive once you get the terminology down, but the written documentation and commands for sales in the USA could benefit from being edited by an English-speaking person with a bit more attention to detail. For example, the single index card sized sheet of instructions ends with an unfinished sentence referencing a non-existent illustration. When I first printed some labels I had a difficult time getting the alignment correct. No matter how I centered everything in the app, the print-out lined up to the left. I only got it to print where I wanted it by lining things up in the app on the right side of the template. It did seem to improve after stopping and starting the app a couple of times, but it still takes some work. The app comes with a fairly extensive library of graphics and symbols you can print on the labels along with text. It also includes several basic workhorse fonts some of which download as you request them. The one thing that I found most disappointing, however, is the print quality. Think an old CRT terminal with its green cursor blinking at the left edge of the black screen versus a modern monitor with millions of color. The printout is similar to a dot-matrix effect which requires adjusting the print quality to the max setting to be sure that everything you see on the screen prints on the label. One of my bar code labels couldnt be read by my bar code scanner, which I believe to be the result of the poor quality printout. All in all, now that Ive experimented with this little printer, I will probably be able to use it for rudimentary labeling. I dont expect that I will use it anywhere that I want an attractive label or anywhere I would place a publicly visible label. At a very basic level it does do what it is designed to do.

Greater than one weekThis little printer is the cutest thing. I wanted to use it for planner projects. I purchased it because it said for used with iOS. It did not or could not pair with my iPhone. I finally dug out my Samsung tablet and it was able to pair and connect. This will make it inconvenient to me since my intention was to create stickers on the fly and put them in my planner. The app is simple. It allows you to make text and there are graphics in there that you can use. It is black and white as thermal printers are only black and white. You need to select photos carefully because not all photos will print accurately.

> 3 dayI have a galaxy and the app works great. I like it I got this to use on the bullet planner I do. They are very small sticker labels. I can screenshot a picture and add it to the app and it prints out. The sticker size is smaller than I expected but that is not much of an issue for me. I can see people who ship packages or letter use this as a personalized sealing stamp thing. My sister liked it too and shes not much of an arts and crafts person.

> 3 dayOnce I figured out how to work this guy, I was so excited! It actually PRINTS the QR code for the app, which is pretty cute. Its a little guy, you can put it in your purse or backpack. I checked on the tape, its a pretty standard size and you can get all different varieties of labels for it. The app is pretty simple and has some nice features. Id say its a good buy!
