### 1/5 — Terrible colour and connectivity

*2026-05-26, version 1.1.6*

App is terrible, colour always looks purple. Changing settings to vivid or adjusting colour settings makes zero difference. Printer keeps forgetting network setting so I can’t connect to it without connecting directly to the devices WiFi. Won’t let me update the printers firmware because I’m connected directly and not via the network. Designed to more or less force you to use the mobile app for an all-round terrible user experience. Just another bit of cheap plastic tech designed to be forgotten on the great garbage pile of history. Complete shambles

### 4/5 — 使える

*2026-04-30*

テープの幅の種類が多くて、場所に合わせてラベルが作れる^_^
テープ背景の色やデザインが豊富
で目立つラベルが出来、楽しい😃
ブラザーさんにラベリングのアイデアを豊富に紹介してほしいです！

### 5/5 — J’adore

*2026-04-19*

J’adore ma nouvelle imprimante d’étiquette. 
Le logiciel vous permet de faire de magnifiques étiquettes, en insérant même des photos. 
Vraiment superbe et facile à utiliser.

### 1/5 — This app has completely ruined AirPrint

*2026-04-17, version 1.1.3*

I have no idea how or why this has happened, but the app is completely useless now, thanks to a completely incomprehensible reason. The printer (VC-500WCR) is a device I can print to from my iPhone and my Mac, using any app, EXCEPT THIS ONE. Customer support have been no help at all. The app simply will not find or connect to my printer despite it working fine previously.
I can use the P-touch editor on my Mac and it sort of works, but it’s not great. 
This app has seems to be designed to not work if the printer is using AirPrint, or even something more stable like using the ip address for the device. 
The printer is resizing everything I print despite all settings for scaling being turned off. It’s distorting the images by not sticking to the aspect ratio I have set, constrained proportions turned on, bleed and borders turned off, scale set to 100%, image resized to the exact size I need it to be…it’s not changing anything. It is adding 1-2mm and distorting the printed label. I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS PRINTER WASTE THE INSANELY EXPENSIVE PAPER!!!

### 5/5 — Eine Super App!!

*2026-03-04*

Eine super App!
Sehr einfach und klar zu bedienen!!!
Jedoch hat sich da ein kleiner Fehler eingeschlichen, man kann die Etiketten Entwürfe nur teilweise Speichern. Aber im Druckprotoll findet man alle gedruckten Etiketten wieder, so dass man einfach ein bereits gedrucktes Etikett wieder ohne Probleme drucken kann!
Einfach klasse mensch!!!
👍👍👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

### 5/5 — Super App

*2026-01-12*

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

### 5/5 — M and Beez honey

*2026-01-02, version 1.1.3*

Got the machine for Christmas and I think it’s fantastic 
If I can use it, everyone can use it

### 1/5 — Junk

*2025-11-28, version 1.1.3*

Not only does it waste enough paper for a lot of labels just in turning it on and at the end of the roll but after a year and limited use, in mid print it stopped showing the WiFi signal so now I have a very expensive paperweight and over $100 in useless labels.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-11-10, version 1.1.3*

I make beard products and I bought the label machine and then started using the editor and I couldn’t be happier with the results crisp clean labels and easy to use design software
