Terrible App / Generalized Support
I bought this app this evening hoping to find a quick solution to my wife having left on business and taking our only computer with her. To my surprise I found printing capable applications that would allow my iPad 2 to print to my wi-fi printer (Kodak 2150). After logging into the app and getting all of the email accounts linked, the first thing I noticed was that the application wasn't importing all of my emails within my accounts. Second, when trying to print the printer was discovered but it would always say either printer is busy or it would actually say 'printing' but the printer and iPad would just fall asleep and nothing would print. I let it sit a good 45 minutes at one point and neither of the devices budged. Third thing is that support for this app, though quick, was so generalized and no specific to the portable devices that I got lost, confused, and gave up... not a good investment. There goes food for my kids,

It works but you have to adjust to its interface
As implied by its name, printing is controlled inside the app. So emails, web pages, clipboard, etc have a tabbed-like directory inside this app. Generally, you find what you want to print and move it into this app. You even duplicate your email account into it.
There is one option to allow you to print web pages where you edit the URL in safari and change it to "httpz:". It kinda works but your first problem on the iPad is getting to front of the URL to change it; then if the URL has database stuff jammed into it, the printout which appears to be a regeneration from the website will lose its brains.
All the above being said, I'm happy with the purchase because I have a pretty good chance of printing from the iPad to an existing non-AirPrint hp printer, where as before I had none.Show lessjohngrins
Great Tech Support! And Good Product!
The instructions about where to download the WePrint were a little bit puzzling to me. After a couple of messages telling me it couldn't be downloaded to an iPad, it hit me that I was supposed to put it on my PC. But I didn't realize this until after I had already sent an e-mail to their tech support. They contacted me with impressive speed and you'd think that once I had responded and told her that I had already figured out what to do, she would have dropped me like a hot potato. But no, she responded with a lovely, kind e-mail and encouraged me to write a review and, of course, to immediately contact them if I needed any further assistance. Why can't all tech support be like this? Anyway, this app was exactly what I was wanting and needing to be able to print from my iPad. It works. How many times have you purchased an app that doesn't do what it says it will do? This one does. Enough said.Show lessNancyG4695
Great Tech Support
I have had Print Central for awhile now but was frustrated trying to print web pages out of Safari. After I did a copy and paste into Print Central, I was asked if I had any comments about the app. I said that it was hard to print web pages. In just a few minutes I received an e- mail from Andrea with abundant info on the subject. I can now print directly from Safari by simply putting a z in front of the http in the address bar. This is great. I immediately shared this info with a friend who said "awesome". This was a great tech support experience from someone who really cared about my experience with their app.Show lessTennis1guy
None better
It just keeps getting better. My NÚMERO UNO print program (app). It now can print a web page!!! yeah, so?? Well, those on-line billings and bank statements...you can now WiFi print them straight from the web. No more copying to the clipboard to print them, and losing format...all those 1099's for taxes...GREAT!!
Buy THIS one first...I have tried others. It prints from my IpadDeuce to my WiFi Canon...Not limited to air print printers (HP??)
7/6/12...,, Still the best....I don't think I have found anything I CAN'T get to print. No air print for me!! Tried Print Agent Pro. Nice interface, but only air printers can apply.Show lessjaxston452
Not Exactly What I Was Looking For
Very highly reviewed but frankly I find the interface not all that intuitive and the print quality is poor. It seems to have a lot of capability but there is a learning curve, some set up required, and I guess it will do a lot of different things. What I wanted was a simple app that could access Dropbox and that I could do a direct print from iPad applications. The Dropbox setup is very straightforward, the app easily found my Canon MG8170 printer, and I can print from the iPad. However, for some apps the process seems a bit more convoluted than necessary. This is an initial review, maybe my rating will go up after I've used it a while and got it all figured out. The big negative however is the poor print quality unless there is a way around this that I've yet to discover.Show lessmainediver218
Would be 5 if I wasn't forced to rate
I loved this App until recently. Now when I open it it puts up a popup window to rate the app, and I can find no way to actually use the app without rating it. It makes me really angry. It's my business which apps I rate, and above all, when I rate them. Completely blocking the app until I rate it certainly isn't going to raise the rating.
I'm not going to give it one star for that, since this is in fact a very good program that manages to properly print files that print incorrectly in other apps. It also supports a lot of file types, and so doubles as an excellent viewer. It directly supports archives, too, although it fails on some of those, as do most Apps (for that, Unarchiver is king).
But blocking app functionality until I rate is really unacceptable to me. An app that tries to tell me what to do when? No thanks.Show lessSanluqueñoTotá
I'm happy!
I waited to purchase after buying many printer apps, that did not work with my non-air-print canon printer. I always check the ' most critical' reviews, but there were none, so I took a leap of faith and bought it. Within seconds it found my printer, seriously, it took my printer longer to start up. I Printed a test page, no complaints on quality. I spent a while exploring the app, which is fairly easy to grasp. It would be nice for Apple to have a simple way to print from any printer, but they don't. Print Central bridges the gap and get the job done. My only complaint is that I did not see Print Central Plus prior to this purchase.. And that's my fault. Customer service is outstanding they answered my question within a few minutes, in an extremely polite and courteous way. If I could give it 10 stars I would because the not being able to print from my iPad or phone without the purchase of a new printer, has been so aggravating simply inexcusable. At least now I have a lovely work around app.Show lessPatrice Annette
Great app and even better customer service!
In this day of automation, it's nice to know there's a human on the other side ready to help resolve one's problems. I love this app because it makes printing so easy from my iPad, but the other day it just stopped working. I emailed them to explain my problem and in less than an hour they returned my email asking me for a bit more info so they could help me fix the problem. They resolved my problem quickly and I'm back up and running!
Thank you to Andrea and everyone at Print Central for making me a very happy customer!Show lessLauramacky
Just Fantastic
I, like many other iPad users have tried to avoid buying a new printer to enable me to print items from my iPad, however right up till I bought this app I was almost convinced that spending $200 was the only way I could print! Anyway I am very glad to say this app saved me approximately $190!! It does all I can ask for and the added bonus is i don't need to have my computer on like many of the "hacks". The document reading and management in this app works way better than any other app I have used and not only that I can also convert to PDF with two taps...........try doing that on a PC! This app is highly recommended and is definitely worth the ten bucks and the download!
The latest update I just downloaded is perfect, I flagged up the calendar printing error and they fixed it in just over a week - amazing service for an amazing app!Show lessiTeq_ace1
