RICOH Smart Device Connector 4+

I downloaded this app because print and scan said it was no longer supported and suggested I do so.

Right off the bat I am not happy with this new app. To print a word document this app requires that I install the 250MB word app. I don't have storage to waste on that. Print&Scan will just print the document, no extra app needed. Bring that feature into this app and maybe we can be friends again.

The single "5 star" review also appears to have been paid for. It does not read like an actual user, rather someone from a marketing department.

This has added more frustration to my life than printing from a phone should. I cannot print directly from a web page, from the app inputting a webpage or pdf. What the hell is the point of this app, I have to literally send everything I have ready to print to a computer in an office where the computers are typically occupied. I can’t print outside of the app or through the app, so why is it even here?

Now we have this expensive printer that was supposed to make life easier, only to cause the opposite and losing out on productivity. Our terrible 5+ year old hp and epson printers at least had that much going for them, you could actually print to them from a mobile device without wanting to take a bat to them! In fact, I recall it took just a few minutes to connect to those; shorter than it took to write this review. I’m glad the time each week I normally spend printing at least tripled. Thanks.

Photos and screenshots print fine, however .pdf of more than one page are condensed to a single page. There is no option to print a web page directly using the share button in safari, it must be converted to .pdf 1st. Overall this app is poorly integrated with iOS.
