Phomemo 17+

It’s a great and easy to use app, I like the cartoons that are already on. The printer itself works alright, I just wish that when I print multiple stickers the quality is the same in all of them.

Do recommend heavy ink printing for most photos, if you’re just printing out text or a photo with no shading (just black and white) do dedicated.

If you like editing photos you will probably want another app to edit them before uploading and printing them to this one. I use InShot Editor because it works very well to add text and filters.

I bought a Phomemo printer to print images of my artwork from the Procreate app. I've used thermal printer at work and thought it was a good deal to make small black-and-white images of my work I could give away. The printer itself works great and provides some nice images. A little watercolor or pen work and you can make very nice color stickers. However, as an IT person, my concern is with the software that comes with this, and which the printer is worthless without. All your images are uploaded to the company's servers for printing and printed from that copy of your image. Therefore if you let the application use all your photos, someone has not only access but a copy for every photo, which is stated in the Terms of Service, even thought the privacy staement says it does not collect data. If you've taken photos of your driver's license or another id, someone in China has access to that too, which I find too much of a risk. If you are going to use this set your photo permissions for iOS to selected photos and load your photos one at a time, which is a pain but will be far more secure. Even if you do that, you must use this printer with an internet connection since it uses the server copy of your photo, which for the portable field use I had planned is a problem. Since you can;t use the printer without the software I'm going to have to rate this only one star. Thiss could have been so much more, but rides the line between utility and spyware.

I have an iPad Pro which I use with Apple’s Magic Keyboard. It is very frustrating to use apps that require I remove the iPad from the keyboard and turn it sideways! Instagram does this, too, but with that site I can get around the problem by opening the app in Safari or another browser where is can be viewed while horizontal and I can use my keyboard to type!

I love this little printer so far! Using my iPhone, I used up the entire sample roll of paper just printing adorable graphics from the app! It is fast and quiet and I was excited to get it together with my iPad so I could use the graphics apps and the Apple Pencil to customize the stickers I print out. If the app were able to work in Landscape (horizontal) mode, I would give it 5/5!

The only other problem I’ve found so far is that I don’t seem to be able to control how long the distance between stickers is, and there is usually way, way more distance than I would need to rip them off easily. This is a huge waste of the paper, the cost of which I imagine could get very high very fast. I think this is a good company that hopefully wouldn’t plan to make people use up more sticker paper (and backing paper, which I’m not sure is biodegradable) than needed in order to sell more rolls....?
