Store ratings include star-only taps from in-app prompts, which skew high. The peak and recent figures come only from people who wrote a review, which skews low. Compare each against itself: the drop is the signal, and a big gap between the two usually means heavy rating prompting is masking unhappy users.

WTF

★ · v1.7.0 · Oct 13, 2026

Until a few days ago I could print from my Apple devices wirelessly no problem. Ow I am being guided to this app. And you )$&$):/ want me to pay to print. I hope someone shoves a red hot curling iron up where the sun never shines.

Rapacious!

★ · v1.7.0 · Oct 12, 2026

They charged too much for this Epson printer. Too much for ink refills. Too much for this stupid app. When I send it a document it prints documents from 6 years ago! It tells me that I’m connected to WiFi but when I troubleshoot it, it says that the problem is that I’m not connected to WiFi. I hope I still have room in my recycling bin where this POS is going.

Absolutely diabolical

★ · v1.7.0 · Oct 9, 2026

If words could describe the pure hatred I feel towards paying a subscription to use the already expensive printer. Every time I got to do something on this or any printer there is always a new problem nothing ever JUST works. All apps like this are absolutely ridiculous money grabbing attempts. It’s predatory marketing to have EXPENSIVE printers, EXPENSIVE ink, can’t use just black and white ink you need both inks to print a stupid page of text, the paper ain’t cheap, and then a SUBSCRIPTION!!!! I’m going back to stone tablets at this point. Also I know this comment isn’t going to change anything, I’m just leaving it because I CAN.

Why buy

★ · v1.7.0 · Oct 2, 2026

We buy a printer just to pay to make copies something that used to be free and all you had to do is pay for your paper in your ink. Now you have to pay for paper ink and to be able to copy. Now that’s crazy.

Not working.

★ · v1.6.0 · Sep 18, 2026

Maybe it’s my phone

It’s not working

★ · v1.6.0 · Sep 8, 2026

No result

Tricks and lies

★ · v1.6.0 · Sep 6, 2026

I purchased this printer and then was forced to purchase a subscription, even as a trial. Then the printer refuses to print anything but his QR code. It will not recognize my iPhone. This is not what I paid for. I’m very unhappy with this product and I think the average person will be too. It was sold as easy to hook up and convenient to use. It is neither.

Epson printer

★★ · v1.6.0 · Sep 2, 2026

The printer is good but I resent the fact that in order to use mobile printing I have to allow apple to sock me with another charge.

Canon print problem

★ · v1.6.0 · Aug 11, 2026

Printer did not connect

Good printer, $&@! App

★★ · v1.6.0 · Aug 7, 2026

The app is basically all ads to sell you all sorts of stuff. So much so you can’t tell what is actually connected to just using your printer! Don’t we all just want to on these and find out our print status? What to do about it then how to restart it?! I’d love buying all my paper, ink, etc supplies from this. But I’m so grumpy from not being able to navigate the app, I end up buying from Amazon!

Don't subscribe. ripped off.

★ · v1.5.9 · Jul 9, 2026

They take your money and do not give you enough product to make it worth your money.

App sucks

★ · v1.5.9 · Jun 26, 2026

I’ve been using my wireless printer for years. HP decided to suck more money out of me by requiring a subscription now I can’t get my printer to work.

★ · v1.5.8 · May 16, 2026

I have tried everything I can think of. I can’t connect my printer to WiFi.

Can’t remove app from phone.

★ · v1.5.7 · May 4, 2026

Should be illegal.

Do not purchase

★ · v1.5.7 · Apr 22, 2026

Horrible instructions and every time you need an instruction, it prints out a new set of instructions even it’s the same instructions that you’ve already printed out wasting your ink. Then you have to pay for the app to run it on your phone weekly. It’s $10. Don’t buy this.

Scam

★ · v1.5.7 · Apr 11, 2026

They sale me a wi-Fi printer just for me to pay again to print

Epson ET2800

The opportunity

What would it take to build a viable competitor, what would it cost to run every month, and a prompt to get started. Generated from the reviews on file; one LLM call per brief. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for a real brief; the stub only fills in a template.
