Leave a Review Zip Printer
Works fine!
I’m not really sure what everyone else is complaining about, I just got a zip printer and both the app and printer work fine for me. I’ve only printed out a couple photos so far, but I haven’t had any issues. There is a little learning curve when it comes to positioning the photo for it to print exactly how you want but that’s about it. The photos come out very nice, and make for great little memories. I also have the instax mini 9, and this little printer is great for any time I don’t wanna carry my camera around.Show lessxSarahhSmiles
Horrid frustration
This is THE WORST instant print application especially if you are trying to use the collage feature. It crashes consistently when one tries to add a second photo. You will NEVER get to adding a third or fourth. In addition, when the app pulls in the photos from your library they routinely, though not always, lose a good 49% of their resolution along with color and light balance.
When the app first came out the color and resolution were “acceptable” but the collage feature was brilliant. Now there is no redeeming value to this app - or the printer. The lack of any kind of manual to troubleshoot this is another negative of note.Show lessInkspot04
Very poor
For the first few hours of downloading the app it was quite slow but at least it worked. Afterwards when I tried to launch the app it has crashed every single time which makes it impossible to print my photos of something I have paid £100 for. I have tried restarting my device and re-downloading which doesn’t make any difference.Show lessBella222222222222222112
So bad
When I first got this little printer a year or so ago, it was excellent. The app was clunky, but it worked. A year later, with updated phone and updated app, nothing works. The app shows a progress bar, as if the picture was really being sent to the printer, but once the progress bar is done, the printer just shuts off. Without printing anything.
This was pretty awful even a few months ago, but I managed to print after a bunch of turning things off and on again, and endlessly reconnecting. But now, zilch. Hey guys, your printing app doesn’t work! For the only printer it’s supposed to work with! It doesn’t do the ONLY thing it should do!
I’m frustrated and terribly disappointed.Show lessnoodelles
I like it!
I had stopped using this printer last summer a couple months after buying it because they totally changed the entire app and I just hated the way the prints where coming out. Well I picked it back up a couple days ago. There was an app update. I was like here we go again an entire new app. To my surprise I like it. I love the edit settings. My pictures are a tad bit brighter with a little manipulation. I wish there was an explanation of each of the settings in the app and unfortunately I can’t use the collage setting because every time I go into it and start choosing photos the app shuts off, oh well. I just make my collages with a different app then print the entire photo with the printer, I know a shame I have to do all that but I’m not big on a lot of unnecessary complaining. Overall the app is nice, it could really be great with a little attention and fine tuning well here’s to wishing. Thanks for the changes I look forward to even greater future changes. I’m gonna hang in there, keep up the good work guys.Show lessappleheadtjl
Love it!
I’ve had a zip printer for about 18 months and a few weeks ago it wouldn’t connect. I assumed it was a problem with the app as it had recently had an update. The support service for Polaroid Zip was great and after a few tests back and forth it was established that the unit itself was faulty, not the app.
I use the printer every single day as I print a photo for my journal. This printer gets used loads and it’s been on all my backpacking trips rolling around in my rucksack.
So if you saw my previous review, saying bad things about this app then please disregard. It’s great!
PS:- my new zip arrived yesterday and I’m a happy bunny again.Show lessJuliaDoherty
What happened - help
I used to use this all the time but for various reasons I haven’t had a chance for a while and when I downloaded update it is rubbish. Literally unusable and I can’t find a tel number to get help - feel I now have a useless lump of expensive plastic rather than a brilliant printer
Can anyone help?helenhunt819
Used to work now terrible.
I’ve had my Zip printer for around 18 months. It used to work fine on an app that was pretty good but not perfect. Since then there was a redesign of the app that made everything harder to use but I could still use my printer. Now there is a new Zip specific app and I can’t print anything. It tells me I’ve printed but nothing happens. I’m now left with a £100 printer that is useless. Don’t buy the printer and avoid the app. So sad because when it used to work it was brilliant.Show lessRythmbound
Finally Figured It Out But Directions Need Updating
Initially I wrote a very bad 1 star review because all of the directions and guidance on the internet were for previous app versions and the new version looks and works completely differently. If you’re going to radically update the app, then you need to update the manual as well. I spent way too much time being frustrated by directions that talk about tapping buttons on the ‘home page’ or ‘main page’ when that page doesn’t exist in the new version. Stop making it so hard on the people who have paid good money for your product and expect it to be as easy as advertised.Show lesswildanimalfan
Perfect
This app does exactly what I need it to do. Always finds my printer, prints 100% of the time, in much better quality than the older version. Love the collage effect as well. Highly recommend it. I haven’t had any of the problems others have mentioned, and I’ve been using the app and the printer loads over the past couple of months.Show less<---piperscout--->
