Maybe I didn’t work out how to use it but a copy paste from Notes doesn’t allow to print. I have to paste into Word and then copy paste from word into ACTPrinter. So... and I can’t reach the printer from other devices. So, if you could explain real well how it can be used I’d love that. You may get stars then... ### 4/5 — Great app with a few limitations *2019-10-28, version 5.1.2* Used for years as the place to save pdf docs created on my iMac or directly saved from internet browsing on the iPad. I do wish I could sort saved “printouts” by a combinations of factors or create folders to organize. Only time it has failed me was with the transition to iOS 13 where it locked up and I couldn’t close it. I was forced to delete and reinstall losing all stored documents in the process. Otherwise, a great iOS and MacOS application. ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2019-09-15, version 5.1.2* Reliability on my iPhone XS Is shoddy at best. It function the first time after downloading it, and then stopped, after I paid $1.99. Still trying to work with it, but this is quite disappointing. ### 1/5 — Era la mejor *2019-05-19, version 5.1.2* Me gustaba mucho la app pero de un tiempo aca la camara ya no sale y no toma fotos y no se como mandar screen shot o como pedir soporte saludos ### 1/5 — やり方が分からない *2019-02-22, version 5.1.2* 安いけど、使えない。 ### 1/5 — KEIN virtueller Drucker *2019-01-31, version 5.1.2* Die Bezeichnung ist irreführend. Man nur sehr umständlich PDFs auf dem iPad erstellen. Geldverschwendung! ### 1/5 — Not really a virtual printer *2019-01-13, version 5.1.2* Got the app as I needed a virtual printer to print some emails. Unfortunately my iPhone doesn’t recognise the app as a virtual printer. To print web pages...there are better apps for this. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2018-09-05, version 5.1.2* Have used this AP for some time. It just keeps getting better with each new release. Well done to the developers. Easy to use, lots of practical uses. Should be mandatory for every iPad and iPhone. Just love it! Still using it and still loving it. Filing system adds more than just scanning functionality. Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed. 2018 - actively in use again in preparation for an overseas trip. Great way to organise copies of travel documents, guide maps and destination info prior to travel. ### 3/5 — Develper is very responsive. Works as advertised. *2018-06-23, version 5.1.2* Nice app, but there maybe better overall solutions / workflow for printing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dommage plus de mise à jour ! *2026-05-05, version 5.1.2* Le logiciel Mac utilise Rosetta et ne sera plus compatible avec MacOS 27. Donc la version iPhone n’aura plus grande utilité ! ### 1/5 — Does not work *2022-04-01, version 5.1.2* It sells as been a virtual printer for Ipad, but its not. Its only some kind of file transfer app. I still can not print in a pdf from my ipad. ### 1/5 — Impossible via navigateur *2022-02-05, version 5.1.2* L’imprimante n’apparaît pas dans mes imprimante donc Impossible d’imprimer via un navigateur ou autre application , je regrette mon achat. ### 1/5 — Pas une imprimante virtuelle *2021-06-19, version 5.1.2* Une fois installée vous ne verrez pas cette application dans la liste des imprimantes disponibles. Pourquoi dire que cette application est une imprimante virtuelle ?car elle n'existe pas !!! ### 1/5 — Publicité mensongère *2021-05-27, version 5.1.2* Si vous vous attendiez comme moi à trouver dans la liste des imprimantes de votre iPhone une imprimante virtuelle qui aurait simplement créée un pdf à partir d’une page web, d’un doc sur un drive ou autre..ce n’est pas le cas. Il faut passer par l’application et son navigateur dédié...arnaque à 2,29€ ### 1/5 — Inutile *2020-12-03, version 5.1.2* Non vede delle app e quindi non stampa ### 1/5 — macOS 10.15.5で動かない *2020-06-27, version 5.1.2* macOS Catalina 10.15.4までは動くが、10.15.5にアップデート後、動かなくなった。 ### 1/5 — Not what it says on the tin!!! *2020-02-16, version 5.1.2* Despite the claims of being able to print emails and pdf output .. this is not true and I for one think I should get a full refund!!! No wonder there is no trial version available. ### 1/5 — Не виртуальный принтер *2020-01-10, version 5.1.2* Не покупайте... ### 1/5 — Misleading info *2019-08-23, version 5.1.2* I thought it will work as a virtual printer to print from iPad. It does not and when I google searched it showed this app for virtual printer from iPad. The developer should put a bold warning so that we do not waste our money on this app. Hope the developer will return the funds. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Indispensable ! *2023-09-27, version 5.1.2* Billets d’avions, réservations, notes diverses…c’est l’outil idéal pour les nomades .Bravo et merci pour cette application. ### 5/5 — ACT PRINTER *2023-03-01, version 5.1.2* I have used this for years. Something happened though and it seems I can no longer print to ACT. This was how I kept paperless prints on my Iphone. Not sure if something changed - I sure do miss it! ### 5/5 — Act printer *2022-12-25, version 5.1.2* Application très utile, voir Indispensable ### 5/5 — Stands the test if time! (3 yr/update_ 2022-04-22) *2022-04-22, version 5.1.2* Updated Review: 2022-04-22 >Running my company, the iPhone serves 90% of my technological needs. This marvel has remained a vital tool for current and future reference. Remarkable is the coding has remained (I think) since inception and it works 100% of the time. Current phone is an XS Max and computer 2018 Mac Mini Intel. Review: 2019-01-10: >One of the 1st apps i downloaded and it’s still one of the most used - highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Great App *2019-11-06, version 5.1.2* I use For years Save PDF in my IPhone many formats ### 5/5 — Super *2019-11-01, version 5.1.2* Velká pomoc ### 5/5 — Very helpful & convenient *2019-03-28, version 5.1.2* This app helps me a lot in my day to day tasks. I just don’t know how to download it in my new Mac Air. But I am still giving it a perfect score because if it’s usefulness & convenience. ### 5/5 — windows *2019-03-19, version 5.1.2* windowsに対応して欲しい。、 ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-02-28, version 5.1.2* Use this app all the time. Save manuals from the web for things I own so they are always available and I don’t have to look for the papers. ### 5/5 — Imprimante *2018-11-25, version 5.1.2* On s'en passe et c'est autant d'économies réalisées. Pour ce qui me concerne, cette application me donne satisfaction. Efficace et pratique --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
