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. ### 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, version 2.7.3* 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. ### 4/5 — It’s okay *2026-05-12, version 2.7.3* I really wish this app updates more, like more ‘cliparts’ and the ability to rotate them. The overall app is okay, but if you want to print images they won’t be very good. Imagine how much better this app would be if you could import your own designs in and borders?!? ### 2/5 — Bluetooth connectivity *2026-03-31, version 2.7.2* The app is overall very nice. The Bluetooth connectivity makes me want to ditch both the label maker and the app. ### 3/5 — Copy and Paste *2026-03-18, version 2.7.0* Wish I could make multiple labels in one project. I have to kept changing a my label to print a label with a pattern. Example Bin 1, Bin 2, Bin 3. I wish I could just duplicate it over and over then change those and print them in one go. ### 2/5 — Childish emojis *2026-03-17, version 2.7.0* The emojis are dated and very childish. It doesn’t support phone emojis. ### 1/5 — Prints mirror *2026-02-12, version 2.6.0* Pain when it does that and you have to do a trial and error to get it right ### 4/5 — From, Vincent Zhao *2026-01-30, version 2.6.0* This app is my favorite! ### 1/5 — Terrible Bluetooth connectivity *2026-01-28, version 2.6.0* They really didn’t do their homework here. Bluetooth connectivity is flaky at best printer keeps disappearing. My numbingly slow and laborious to get it reconnected. And printing times, very randomly from instantaneous to almost a minute. ### 3/5 — Latest update Version causing issues *2026-01-15, version 2.6.0* We have 30 Brother PT-P300BT units. Last issue mentioned fixed. Wish the CLIP ART had a search word feature by typing what you are looking for rather than having to search through every image in a category. Eg Toothbrush, Flame, Couch etc. Thank you app team for the improvements so far. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Mr *2026-09-04, version 2.7.4* Requires internet connection to work, has a terms form that is longer than war and piece and requires way to many steps just to print a label ### 1/5 — No Directions *2026-08-22, version 2.7.4* There are no directions on how to make labels. Completely on your own with a non-intuitive device. ### 1/5 — Wastes tape *2026-08-13, version 2.7.4* Prints blank or previous label before the correct one ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-05-20, version 2.7.3* Wasting far too much label to get it right ### 1/5 — Wh? *2026-05-14, version 2.7.3* Cannot type Chinese no matter what. Would’ve consider a different one had I known this. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-05-11, version 2.7.3* The printer keeps printing part of the previous label, also I printed 10 labels and it was giving me battery low when the battery used were new. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bien fait et fiable *2026-08-30, version 2.7.4* Le logiciel est bien fait et facile à utiliser. L’imprimante fonctionne très bien. ### 5/5 — Brother P Touch 300 *2026-08-25, version 2.7.4* This is a fantastic easy to use portable printer. You can use A/C or D/C battery power to print. I use it to organize my tool box storage Bins tools and label thing’s around the house. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-08-23, version 2.7.4* Super simple. Ordered on Amazon watched the video and I’m a labeling machine now. Super easy ### 5/5 — User Friendly. *2026-08-01, version 2.7.4* 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. ### 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! ### 5/5 — Please shorten App Name on iPhone! *2026-04-22, version 2.7.3* Love the App but the name is so long that it doesn’t read out correctly - any way of shortening this App Name? ### 5/5 — Love it - Please shorten App Name on iPhone *2026-03-25, version 2.7.1* Love the App but the name is so long that it doesn’t read out correctly - any way of shortening this App Name? ### 5/5 — LOVE this tool *2026-02-26, version 2.6.0* I’ve been using my old Brother P-Touch for over 20 years. THIS is a whole new ball of wax!!! So many great capabilities!!! I foresee this getting a LOT of action. HIGHLY recommend!!! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-01-05, version 2.6.0* I downloaded the app & it is do easy peasy to do from my phone!!! ### 5/5 — Easy *2025-12-19, version 2.6.0* Easy to use and connect with Bluetooth.
