Phomemo Pocket Printer - M02 Mini Bluetooth Wireless Sticker Printer, Compatible with iOS & Android, Thermal Sticker Maker for Fun, memo, to-do List, Work Notes, DIY Journal,Black

After fully charging the printer this morning, getting a solid green light, I just got a red light indicating that it needs charging. Obviously, I was unable to make the Bluetooth connection with my iPhone. Ive run out of patience, at least for now. If I have better luck later on, Ill report back. Meanwhile, Im giving this printer 3 stars -- the benefit of the doubt--in case user error is the cause of my problems.

If you really want to print some stickers I highly recommend just buying some large sticker paper and sending it for your normal printer. This thing prints in pretty low quality. I have credit card machines that print higher quality receipts than this thing prints. The app seems to be pretty decent you have to put it on your phone connect to the printer with Bluetooth and thats how you print stuff. It does have the ability to print small text or large text which is kind of nice. It looks like it might even use the same receipt paper that my credit card machine is use so I can try that later on.

I didnt think much of it from the size I am old school I am used to the bigger the printer the better the results, but I was wrong this little guy gets the job done I got vibrate picture and labels and you can take it with you. I have to admit I only used it for a few projects so I dont know how long it will work or the labels will be vibrant but for now it works great.

This is a nice label maker. I am using it to make labels for my packed boxes which I prepare for moving across country. It’s saving me so much labour not to have to hand print on every box what is in it, where it goes, and if it’s fragile or not. I especially love the ability to print my own generated QR code. I have a database that lists what’s in every box by box number, each sheet in that spreadsheet has its own website link, and it can print the link embedded in the QR code so I can just scan the boxes later to know what’s in them and what’s more urgent to unpack first and also for insurance purposes in case anything goes wrong! So, the print itself is a bit light. Even using bold and the heavier fonts they offer the printing is thin and watery and rough edged. The app is the worst thing about it. On one hand, they have many useful guides and helpful tips on how to do stuff, but just the things you can do in the app are not really arranged inside intuitive menus, and often just trying to go back to where you were in one setting will wipe out what you just did, or write on top of it. So I’d like to see them improve the user friendliness of their application for it. Good things are it seems to connect to its app flawlessly every time. The casing seems solid and sturdy. I have dropped it a couple times and it’s held up like a champ. It is easy to find labels for, and the labels are inexpensive enough, even for a tight limited budget like mine. I’m definitely looking into more that this company has to offer in label maker upgrades.

I figured that this printer was more like a label maker than a picture printer due to its diminutive size. I was right. If you are looking for a small printer for pictures or detailed graphics, perhaps youd do better to look elsewhere. If, however, you are looking to make stickers and low-resolution items like labels, this is your machine. Setup with the app is very quick and easy... just a couple minutes and youre off and running. It seems to hold battery life about as well as my mini label maker. For me, its a win as I do need to print out a bunch of larger labels and such... but it falls way short on anything requiring a higher resolution. Whether or not it will work for you depends on your intended use.

Please note: This review is a long, detailed review of the app features that come along with the printer. The app is the brain to the printer, so if its lacking in features, functionality, and capability, then you basically have an electronic paperweight. ** For a TL;DR, please go to the bottom of the page. I have provided a summary of the printer and the app there. ** (Did you know... Phomemo = Photo + Memo? Theres a good reason they named it that...) Ive been wanting a pocket printer for so long and when this came along, I had to get it. Its about the size of a deck of cards and because its a thermal printer, it prints in black and white. I was able to get it to connect to Bluetooth easily without any issues of it disconnecting or anything. The Phomemo store offers many different styles and colors for their printer paper, but the printer does come with refill rolls to get you started. The ones that come with the printer are sticker rolls, so when you remove the back covering, it has an adhesive so it can be placed anywhere. The rolls are easy to install, too. (Note: If you choose to purchase a different brand of thermal paper to use with this printer, make sure its as close to the width of the Phomemo paper as possible. You can cut a small portion of the sides off the roll, then take an empty inner tube that the Phomemo paper is attached to and roll the new paper up on that. It will fit easily inside the printer and work wonderfully. Make sure its thermal paper, though, otherwise it wont work.) A lot of BT thermal pocket printers have an app that leaves a lot to be desired. Not this one. Theres so much packed into this app that everyone in the family has been able to use it for many different projects and ideas. I was immediately impressed with the endless possibilities this has to offer. Home Tab Options: - Notes: You can create notes easily using this function. Youre able to type in the notes yourself or you can copy and paste it in. Then it prints out a sheet that is as long as the notes are. This is perfect for school, work, journaling, scrapbooking, etc. The possibilities for this option are endless. - Print Images: There is a photo editing tool that allows you to edit a single picture from your camera roll before printing. The other option is Collage. This allows you to edit multiple pictures and stitch them together before printing. Both options work great and offer a lot of tools within them to do many different things. - Templates: There are SO MANY templates to choose from. At the top, you have different subjects such as * to do list * Frames * Schedule (offers class schedules, daily/weekly/monthly schedules, and a blank schedule with a cute clipart bear) * Business card (design a business card) * Fun (Different animals, objects, and food that have a blank space within them to be able to add to it once printed) * Document Print: Print out any document that has been saved to your phone (can print PDF, Word, and text files) * Print Web: Choose from Pinterest, Google, Wiki, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Twitter, or Quora to go to the site and choose something to print. There is also a Plus symbol where you can add your fav website. All you do is enter in the website link and name, then click confirm. Youll be able to access that webpage/website from here. * Micro Print: This is just like the notes option, except it will print it out in a smaller text form. * Toolbox: This is one of my favorites! Youre able to print out a banner (in any size, as long as you have the paper roll for it) and theres an option to print out a 6 ruler. The cool thing about the ruler option is that you arent stuck with just 0 - 6. You are able to choose which 6 youd like to print, such as 8 - 14, etc. * OCR: This option opens up your camera with a grid on screen. Take a picture of any text and it will add the text to a blank template. Theres two options at the bottom of the screen where you can select proofreading and it will proofread what youve chosen to write down (or scan into the document), or you can select the + symbol to add it to Notes. (OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition) * Scan: This allows you to scan any image or text you want to print. Example: I can scan the remote to my TV and it will scan it into the app and provide an image (black and white, of course) for me to print.) Before you print, youre able to customize the size, placement, etc. * Early Education: In this function, you can choose from 2 options which prints out flash cards and different coloring pages, worksheet pages, etc. The options are: > English Enlightenment Materials (offers different practice pages such as connect the dots/numbers to form shapes, Halloween mazes, Where are They? which has different options for choosing parts of the body/organs, Halloween drawing pictures, Find letters in circles, Capital letter coloring pages, and more. This is a really cool tool to have if you have children) > English Language Learning (this offers Letter Learning, Word Picture Cards with animals, food and nature, each with different options within those to choose from, and Know Numbers which gives you different number cards to pick from. Ive used these with my kids for homeschool and they found it to be a fun way to change things up. They can draw on them, and then we put them in their school portfolio or their personal Grade (X) Memory Book. * Lastly, there is the Printer Operation Guide on this screen as well. Under the Graphics Tab, you have different folders to choose from. From those folders, you have MORE folders to choose from. Newest - * New Year * 2022 Christmas (updated each year to represent the current Christmas year. Example, during Christmas 2023, this will be updated to reflect the current year) * Japanese * Cool Summer * Postcard * Ocean Comic - * Romantic * Stamp * Food * Tourism * Palace * Autumn & Winter * Small Objects * Japanese Style * Insect * Graduation Season * Plant * Phomemo * Pattern * Sushi * Bath Supplies Festival: * New Year * Spring Festival * Valentines Day * Cherry Blossom Season * St. Patricks Day * Easter * Magic * Halloween * Thanksgiving Day * Christmas Basics - * Frame (different frame options) * Trend (whats currently trending among the Phomemo community) * Form (different kind of forms) * Gesture * Tool (alarm clock, different graphs, compass, etc.) * Lace (different banners and borders) 2023 Calendar - * A folder for every month which offers different styles of calendars from daily to weekly to monthly Magic Garden - * Flowers * Insects * Circus Character - Each folder is numbered from 1 - 6 Wordart - * Summer Day * Text Epidemic Prevention - This folder has several pictures and phrases 2022 Calendar - same as 2023 calendar folder, but for 2022 2021 Calendar - same a 2023 calendar folder, but for 2021 The next tab is Mall. This tab allows you to shop for various Phomemo products right from the app itself. Lastly, theres the Profile tab. Theres more information here, too. - Usage: Tells you how long youve been using the app - Use Tutorial: How to use the different functions within the app. Its also extensive and easy to follow with video and text descriptions. - Product Manual: A quick start guide and how to use the printer itself such as loading the paper, troubleshooting, etc. - FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions. There are 11 different FAQs listed, each of them going into detail on how to resolve - Support: Gives you all of the ways you can contact the support team (by email, WhatsApp, and Skype) - Live Chat: Offers a live chat agent to help you with anything and everything you need with the printer or different things related to the app. - Settings: Change the language setting, read the Privacy Policy, and Clear Cache are found here. - Community: This is one has its own section Join the Phomemo Community with links to Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. There is a decent sized community built up around Phomemo and when you join the FB group, follow on IG, and check out YT, youll be able to find all kinds of inspiration, ideas, and more. Their YT channel has a ton of information about the different products, how they work, how to do certain things, unboxing, etc. Its an interesting channel that offers a ton to the community. Overall, I absolutely love what Phomemo has to offer. They stand by their brand and have excellent, quality customer service. The printer works absolutely wonderfully, and the app makes it completely worthwhile. You can do so much with this that the possibilities really are endless. TL;DR: With Phomemo, you get an easy to use, amazing app thats full of features to go with their products. This printer has done everything its supposed to do and more. It stays connected through Bluetooth, doesnt disconnect without my doing so, and its easy to install the paper rolls. Phomemo offers a TON of different thermal paper in many styles and types. With this printer, you receive 3 extra rolls. Its EASILY giftable, as long as the recipient has a device capable of downloading the app. I love this printer so much that Ive bought several more rolls in different styles, and I plan to buy more of Phomemo products, too. One thing to note: You CAN buy thermal paper rolls that are NOT of Phomemo brand. If its not the right width, you can cut one side of the paper and roll it onto the plastic inner tube that came with the Phomemo paper.) (Did you know... Phomemo = Photo + Memo)

I got this because it looked like a cute way to add small notes/messages to my familys lunch packs and to keep memories without having to print out large 4x6s or 8x10s. This printer comes with a charging cord and a VERY small roll of sticker paper (which is inside). To install the paper, the instructions are misleading...it looks like you just need to unroll paper and lay it in there, but you dont. You must have the paper going to the edge, so the roller ball can roll it. Also, you need download the Phonmemo app to your phone before you can use it. Once downloaded it will search out and connect to the printer. The app has a lot of options: Notes (where you can add text {change size and font}, images, stickerts, grid and QR code Print Images - where you can pick from your images on your phone, edit them and print them....even in Collage format. Document Print - print documents from your phone Print Web - Print from a few selected website (such as pintrest, instagram, etc) Micro Print - print lots of text in a little space Templates - which are precreated layouts, like frames, to do lists, schedules, etc, where you can add text to and more. Once you have what you want to print, just click the print button and out it spits. The quality on pictures wasnt the greatest for me. But the quality on the example in the picture (text and 2 stickers) was fairly good. Overall - if you are looking for a way to add a smile to a lunch bag, or keep memories without printing large images, or to create a small notes or to-do lists, then this is a great little printer. It works with other small thermal papers, so you arent just limited to one paper.

I thought this mini printer printed in color (I might just not understand how to set it correctly), but the picture I printed was very grainy and was in black and white. It might also do this because the paper it comes with is sticker paper. There are lots of options to print documents on the little printer with the app, but its so small I cant figure out what this printer would be good for. I thought maybe it would be good for scrap booking, but since it comes out in black and white, Im not sure I will be able to use. The app does come with come lots of images and templates that look like clip art, so that might be an option. It might be good to write memos in lunches or reminders, perhaps in kids lunches, but at this time I dont envision myself using it.

Good little printer for popping out larger labels (I also have a strip label maker for name tags, etc). These are great for decorations or labels that need more information than just a name. There are a couple of faded areas when you print - nothing egregious, but its not a perfect heat transfer. The included sticker paper is a bit strong - it will leave residue on whatever you attach it to if youre not very careful removing it. Photos are not great - the pictures in the product description are just photoshops. They are pretty grainy and I cant imagine theyd be good for much. 1 star off for misleading about photo quality, and 1 star off for using a micro USB port for charging instead of USB C in 2023.

This is a small printer which makes it very portable. It runs on a rechargeable battery, so you do not even need to plug in any wires or cables to print on it. To print from your phone or portable device, you need to download the manufacturers Phomemo app on your device. Once downloaded, run the app and turn on the printer, and the app will find and connect to the printer via a Bluetooth connection. Once connected to the app, you can print from the app directly to the printer. You can open any image or photo on your phone in the app, and then print it. Keep in mind that this is a thermal grayscale printer, so the quality of the printout is not great. However, if you print simple drawings like the ones included with the app, the printouts will look good. The printouts generate very quickly too. The package includes a sample roll of thermal paper. This is enough to try it out and generate some printouts. Overall this is very portable printer if you need one on the go and grayscale low resolution printer would work.
