### 5/5 — User Friendly.

*2026-08-01*

Love having the option to use an App to create the labels and print via Bluetooth! Fun to make different labels for things, but sometimes that little keyboard can be hard to navigate. With the free app, it’s super easy to use and has many varieties of fonts, symbols, and styles. It’s also nice that you can charge the label maker.  However, the battery option makes it much more portable. 10/10…Would recommend.

### 1/5 — Too much learning curve

*2026-07-28, version 2.7.4*

The first problem is an inconvenience, it loses connection too quickly, and doesn’t reconnect automatically. That means you have to go to Bluetooth settings and connect it every single time you use, and sometimes you have to reconnect it because it times out in a couple of minutes. Very stupid.

### 1/5 — Bluetooth problems

*2026-07-26, version 2.7.4*

My PT Dash N 25 BT label printer keeps losing Bluetooth connections and will not reconnect. This includes after multiple printer, restarts, removing batteries and turning off Bluetooth on the iPhone multiple times. Very frustrating.

### 5/5 — Ease of Use

*2026-07-25, version 2.7.4*

I tell my iPhone what I want printed the brother’s machine listens. Then my labels print. Piece of cake!

### 4/5 — Das Potenzial ist nicht mal angekratzt

*2026-07-16*

Als Nutzer würde ich doch jetzt nicht mit dem iPhone auf einem kleinen Bildschirm die Etiketten bearbeiten!
Leider ist die iPad App nicht anderes als die iPhone Version. Wo ist die iPad Version brother?
Dann nutzen doch mit Sicherheit viele Benutzer mehrere Geräte da währe doch eine iCloud Synchronisierung eine
sehr gute Möglichkeit bereits auf anderen Geräten erstellte Etiketten zu nutzen. Die Etiketten Teilen Funktion ja möchte
ich das jetzt bei jedem neuen Etikett machen? brother wo ist die Synchronisierung mit iCloud?
Es währe schön wenn ich als Nutzer sehen könnte wie lang exakt das Etikett gerade ist weil soviel verschnitt verbleibt. 
Denn ich habe festgestellt das die eingestellte Etikettenlänge nicht mit der Realität über ein stimmt.

### 1/5 — Huge Waste of Tape

*2026-07-05, version 2.7.3*

The cutter leaves a good 1.5” of tape without print.

### 1/5 — Bluetooth doesn’t stay connected

*2026-06-27, version 2.7.3*

The whole process is clunky.  Buy the cheaper label maker that doesn’t have a preview but links and stays linked to phone.  2 hours for 4 labels is not a me issue it’s a machine issue.

### 4/5 — Connecting to Bluetooth!!

*2026-06-15, version 2.7.3*

I absolutely love my labeler especially since I can just use my phone to personalize the labels, but I have a really hard time trying to get mine to connect to my phone or table!

### 2/5 — Why don’t 24 pt fonts work anymore?

*2026-05-26, version 2.7.3*

What just happened? With the newest version of the app, 24 point fonts don’t work on .47” (12mm) tape. Older, saved labels that were 24 point are reduced to 22.1 point. New labels created will only let you build to 17 point, and if you shrink and resize them, it won’t let you restore the older, larger size. Why?

### 3/5 — Pretty Useless App

*2026-05-25*

The app has lots of options for printing different label types and using different fonts, but it lacks one HUGE feature. You can’t print multiple different labels in one go. This is very wasteful of tape, and very inconvenient. The desktop app is much better and even allows import of spreadsheets. But when I just want a batch of 20 or so labels, I don’t want to drag out my laptop to do it.
