Leave a Review Epson Smart Panel
Direct from phone
I followed set up process which was really breeze thanks to the app. What’s so annoying is that when I try to print from my phone, the setup keeps defaulting to driver from phone to printer versus through our wifi. I haven’t been able to find a way to turn that off or just set the default to go through the wifi. It shouldn’t be that difficult to turn that off. It causes problems with formatting, connection, etc.Show lessBBob87
It Works!!!
I must say I am impressed with the quality and user friendly setup. It’s great to be able to send a document to print from your smart phone, tablet, PC. Many reviews say that ink last a long time. I will see since am working from home and it’s getting a workout. Will update if the ink is all that. So far very happy.Show lessmiqui1979
Won’t show/connect to printer
I just set up my new ET-4800 printer, and the printer is connected to wifi, not this app just won’t show my printer on the main screen no matter how many times I go through the process. When I try to add device to app it just sits and says searching even though I’ve already tested and even the printer’s own report says it’s connected to the same with my phone is on. The old Epson iprint app found it instantaneously, so it’s an app problem, not a printer or network or phone problem.Show lessSpicy Pickle 18
Kicks me out of App
I just set up my new printer and downloaded this app to use with my iPhone. This app has so many issues and needs to be updated. Whenever I use this app, as soon as I connect to the printer the I get kicked out of the app automatically. I have been resetting my phone and redos loading the app and it’s the same thing every time. My phone is up to date with the most recent IOS. This app won’t even let me stay on it long enough to use it. I’m super frustrated. I downloaded the Epson Iprint app and that works just fine so obviously this app needs an update.Show lessSnowwhiteman
Enable the “ok” button so I can submit the WiFi password
Cannot submit password via smart panel app because the “ok” button is Greyed out and not enabled. Frustrating and not smart at all! Could only connect the printer via the touch display on printer and was able to print from networked desktop, laptop and phones so hopefully the printer is better than the app. The app however sees the printer but won’t connect so basically the app is a brick and useless to me. Don’t know if you should fix the app because not sure what I’m missing out on because it won’t function. Oh well, what a colossal waste of time trying to get the app to work.Show lessMdmiley
Broken
The app won’t connect over WiFi. It will only connect through the WiFi direct setup. Start there and it’s a mediocre app with limited functionality. It requires a second app Epson creative print to actually get to a lot of the functionality Epson is marketing. There is no documentation around features like connect to Google classroom. I suspect all this is new and it’s a new product so documentation and support are lagging. But until those catch-up, I would recommend you avoid the huge time sink into trying to find some useful purpose for this app- because it just isn’t there.Show lessTshippy
Was great, now is a brick
When I first started using this app, it was great. Hooked up to my printer/scanner WF-2830 just fine, allowed me to update firmware, gave me ink status, etc. very UI friendly. Since the most recent firmware update on my printer and the update on iPhone, I have been unable to find, much less connect to my printer/scanner. Other printer apps are still able to find and print to it so I don’t know what’s going on. I’ve searched forums and even Epson’s site to no avail. I can’t recommend a bricked app to anyone until Epson figures out what happened and fixes it.
To Epson: my printer and my Apple device have been tried on both regular WiFi and WiFi Direct connection and it still couldn’t see the printer to “set it up”.Show lessDJ Polarized
Fun with printing!
Great machine, I bought it one day because I was operating my backhoe in the community that I live, a natural gas main was ruptured, it was my fault, so I needed to apologize to almost 200 individual homes who lost the use of that utility for a day 1/2, but the ones closest to me got rudely wrangled up, by me, to get everyone 1000’ from the danger.
I’m famously long winded, so summation; I made really cool cards for everybody in the community. One gentleman even said, hey man, I like your style, you got style, he said.
The printer is fantastic, thank you EpsonShow lessDrew Zimny
I DO NOT recomend this app!!
Usually my reviews are always positive, but it is not the case with this one!! I am really frustrated with the way they make it!! If there is a way the Epson people could change this, it would be easier… well, ok, this app looks so cool, and when I downloaded it I thought I would NEVER regret. But oh boy, how wrong was I!! It has all these cool features that you can never get if you do it on your own without using it. So yeah, that is cool, but I even didn’t get to USE IT. The thing is, is that it tells you to find your printer (of course) but when you try to put in your Epson printer, it cannot find it!! Though I have it on, and when I want to print directly from the web or from photos, it works perfectly!! But when I try it on THIS APP, it doesn’t work! All the things that we have tried to do, it doesn’t work! So if that can PLEASE be changed, this app would be PERFECTShow lessAmasing reviewer
Great Family Photo App
Great for easily printing photos from your phone suitable for framing and hanging as family photos. Not as customizable as a professional program, but it’s money for casual photo. Could have better instructions; not easy to figure out how to scale or customize your print size; defaults to border less and whatever size paper you are using. Some layout options would be nice. NOTE: Saturation, contrast, shadows and highlights all need to be adjusted in some other program before printing from this app.Show lessJD_Washington
