> 24 hourThis label maker has got a lot of catching up to do to equal the gold standard Brother P-Touch. Its not that its difficult to use, the print quality is just not optimal, and with the on screen display, its difficult to tell if you need or dont need character or word spacing, it all looks spread out. There are much better label makers out there folks. ... If I had to put a label on this one, it would read Dud

> 24 hourI got this for office labeling, and also labeling my personal items in a public facility. This label maker is pretty straightforward, type what you want and hit print. The USB c charging is great, as I dont need to waste batteries, the labels themselves are pretty basic so its easy to get more. The display is bright and easy to read, my only complaint is that you have poor spacing without a border, its like theres a space bar at the start of the label, making it not centered, the bordered ones are perfectly centered however. Overall easy to use and functional label maker.

> 24 hourIve been wanting a label maker/printer for some time now. I wasnt sure if I wanted one with an app or not - the keyboard on this seems to work well, and i was able to print out some labels for things in my home that desperately needed them. The LCD screen is bright and easy to read and the print quality seems to be really nice.

> 24 hourBest label maker I’ve used by far. So easy to use. Easy to type and print. Easy to use the cutter. Bluetooth is easy to connect and use as is the app as well. It’s a great label maker that can do more than I would ever need.

> 24 hourIm quite pleased with this label maker. Im happy that it was ready to use right out of the box. The default settings are good enough to start making labels with no set up. I did go into the settings and change the measurement system to inches from mm though. It has plenty of text adjustments to print the full width of the 16mm tape down to a print size that you will need a magnifying glass for. The 14 point font size seems to work best for my use. All in all its an easy enough machine to figure out. It has extra features to set it up with an app on your phone if you wish. I didnt test that feature out, but its nice to know its there if I ever want to wireless print with it. It came preloaded and ready to go with the label tape. A USB-A to C charging cable. I had it on for about 30 minutes when I first got it and decided to charge it after I was done. It said it was still fully charged. So it appears to conserve power really great. 5 star item in my book.

> 24 hourWe have lots of label makers, but none that would do barcodes. This is great for just pulling out and making a label with the built in keypad, but we really love that you can save print jobs to it so you dont have to type out the same things (in our case barcodes) over and over again. We also like the labels are just a bare roll of paper and dont have a plastic housing. The app was rated 2.3 stars on the play store, but we found it to work well enough and quickly threw together the barcode label without any research or instructions. We doubt there is a way to integrate this in with an ERP or logistics system, but we are going to see if we can figure that out. As long as refills are available for this we feel it works at a 5 star level.

> 24 hourSummary: A nice quality printer with built in editing that is somewhat limited, but that is more than offset by having a good app for editing that works well and doesnt steal your personal information. Choice of label types seems somewhat limited. Cons: 1. The editing functionality on the printer itself is somewhat limited. For example there doesnt seem to be any kind of print preview function on the LCD itself. So it is fine for basic text but if you want fine control and graphics etc you should use the app. 2. The choices of label tape seem to be somewhat limited. For example I have seen plenty of 16mm wide tape listed on MakeID Amazon, but not any 9mm. Also other printers like Dymo have a variety of tapes that are fluorescent colors, or even white text on black. I dont see any such tapes from Makeid - just milder colored tapes such as pink and gold. Perhaps Im not looking in the right places. 3. Print resolution is only 203ppi while some cheaper models have 300ppi. Pros: 1. Although the app seems to have so-so reviews on the Apple App Store, it works surprisingly well and I cant fault it. Most importantly it doesnt need you to create an account and the app store says that it doesnt gather / access any personal information. That is a big plus for me. Having said that the privacy policy listed on the app store is only in Chinese. 2. The app has loads of layout options and really does let you do WYSIWYG editing. It can do barcodes, QR codes, graphics, scaling and has loads of fonts included (downloaded as you need). 3. The tape loads easily and without a lot of fuss. Just thread it in the print head, close the door and you are done. 4. Bluetooth connection worked right away. The app listed the printer it found and I just needed to select it. No pairing necessary. 5. I did try some 3rd party white tape for about $10/2rolls and it worked fine and had the same print quality. 6. Printer keyboard is good layout and size. Screen is large enough and LCD backlight is a nice professional touch. Feels solidly built and very good build and design. Battery life seems good. USB-C connection for recharging.
