I'm so annoyed that they're aware that their app, which is the only thing that makes the printer usable, is broken but refuse to fix it. They recommended the cheesy print from gallery "fix," and it's a flop.
The app is necessary so that you can edit the photo to fit it properly into the print field (I'll attach a photo to demonstrate how inconveniently wasteful it is- In my chain of emails with the company, they can't seem to figure out why this is happening or how to fix it (there should be two entire people visible, not just half of a face), but in my chain of emails with them, they can't seem to figure out why this is happening or how to fix it. SO MUCH MONEY WAS WAS WAS WAS WAS WAS WAS WAS WA My phone (Galaxy S10) can see the printer and send photos from my gallery via bluetooth, but the app does not work and the company refuses to fix it. They are unresponsive, and I recommend that you do a lot of research and find another instant printer solution because this is not worth the money, time, or effort.ĭude. And if you're planning on contacting Polaroid for help, don't bother. I'm completely frustrated after purchasing this (along with about 200 sheets of photo paper), and I'm out money on return shipping. I tried to come up with a workaround that would allow my guests to use the iPhone camera timer, then open the photo in the Polaroid app and send it to the printer, but it didn't work. There is no timer in the app, which is a major flaw, and timer remotes do not work within it. The app is difficult to use, clumsy, distorts images, and then takes an eternity to send to the printer (or does not send at all). I'm not sure how it works on Android, but it's a hot mess on iOS. 1st - Only the Polaroid App allows you to print your photos. I bought it to use as a Photo Guest Book for my wedding, but now I'll have to come up with a Plan B because it's complete nonsense. Not a Good Investment! It's an understatement to say I'm disappointed with this printer. br>br>I'm going to show it to some of my amazing coworkers at work tomorrow!. Oh, and the photo paper comes with a sticky back in case you want to slap the photo you just printed on someone's forehead or something. It's a cheap way to reintroduce the joy of taking photos and holding them in your hands instead of staring at a computer screen. ) )br>br>I strongly advise you to use the ZIP printer. (However, I read in another review that it includes ten. The other, which featured my husband and me, was printed as follows: is a picture taken with my phone br>br>While the printer does come with a few photo sheets to get you started, I didn't count them before putting them in the printer. To the photo of my dog and me, I added a sepia filter and a couple of stickers (the ZIP printer has filters, stickers, borders, and other things you can add).
That is exactly what it does! br>br>I was very pleased with the results of the first two photos. It just seemed like a fun little gadget to have for $100 that would hopefully print halfway decently. We didn't have any preconceptions about this device, and we didn't have high expectations for the prints. Some people make it easy for themselves to be let down. br>br>I suppose it's all about the difference between what you EXPECT and what you GET. We were extremely pleased with the print quality, and I was relieved to learn that my husband, who works as an advertising photographer, thought so as well. Look for the 'Polaroid Zip' app, which I used to print over 20 photos for my scrapbook in multiple sessions.
br>br>The app received a lot of negative feedback, which made it unusable or clumsy to use, but they have since released a new app or updated version in response to the negative feedback. After you've finished printing, simply revert the photo. br>br>Because the photos print a little darker than they appear on your phone, you'll need to manually lighten or brighten them before printing. I chose Polaroid because it offered collages and white frames for the polaroid effect, as well as more options than the other apps. The most common complaint appears to be a lack of color saturation and low-resolution images. I did a lot of research to compare the image quality, yellow/reddish vintage look, and Kodak Sprocket to the Polaroid ZIP, Instax Share, HP Sprocket, and Kodak. Mobile printers aren't the way to go if you're looking for high-quality prints. Expect low-resolution and low-quality prints, as this is a small mobile printer. I bought it to use as a scrapbooking journal and as a travel journal.
