### 2/5 — This really needs an update

*2023-04-27*

This app really needs to be updated and I hate using it but I have an LW-600P for printing labels at work and I don’t have a lot of choice but to use it.

### 2/5 — Are you kidding me?

*2023-02-17*

Someone at Epson needs to hire a UX Designer and have them rework this entire app (if a UX Designer worked on this app, they should be fired).

I don’t think you could make this much worse. 

Does anyone who works on this actually use it? How can my old label printer be easier to use than one that uses a smartphone as its interface?

Someone on your product management team needs to make this a priority. 

I will not be recommending this to anyone in my social circle. Do better.

### 2/5 — Need to improve

*2020-03-25*

1.old style app UI and not easy to use at all
2.Find device failed when use Wlan with 1000P. I have to reconnect WiFi for print discover.
3. Only few templates are available and these template are tooooo stick with the tape type, if I want to print a small label, and the template told me that I need to use another tape. Otherwise, I will get a label with half images on that.
4.there is no way to prompt half cut or full cut, I have to set up before I print

### 2/5 — Can’t change date format???

*2017-12-06*

I can not believe the date and time label does not let me change to mm/dd/yyyy. And it doesn’t remember the last setting I set.  This is such a commonly used label. And the desktop version let you do it.

### 3/5 — Bluetooth issues

*2017-08-31, version 1.5.1*

Since the newest update on July 31, 2017 our iPads are dropping connectivity. We tried it on one iPad version 10.3.3, one factory default 10.3.3 and one older 9.3.5 iPad all with the same results. It work fine on Android so it isn't the printer.

### 3/5 — Used to be great on my LW-600P

*2017-08-14, version 1.5.1*

This used to be a great app. It did have limitations as to what & how you could edit things, but to some degree almost all apps have ceilings that you can't break through to do all the things you want.

I have tried re-downloading the app recently. No better. It still crashes, lost all ability to use pre-made template formats. The thumbnails for the templates are gone too.

I am using an iPhone 7+, and have the current public build of iOS (not any new betas).

Please fix this as I love the usefulness and portability of my LW-600P. It is great with Bluetooth as well as USB, and it is one of the few good small portable QR code printers around.

### 2/5 — Broken in 10.3

*2017-03-29*

Overall, this app works fine but it's completely broken under iOS 10.3. Please update soon. I can't print labels at all. My lw600p is a paperweight right now.

### 4/5 — Great label printing app

*2017-03-17, version 1.5.0*

Works with Epson Label Works printers. Great for print fancy labels at the spur of the moment.

### 2/5 — Don't work on iOS10

*2016-09-15, version 1.4.2*

I do print nothing after updating to iOS10...

### 1/5 — Can't find lw-600p printer in Korean environment

*2016-04-01, version 1.4.1*

This application can't find printer in Korean locale. In English locale, it is ok.

Please fix it.

This bug is not fixed in 2016. March yet.

### 3/5 — Generally good with one missing feature

*2016-01-16, version 1.4.1*

I have not actually printed any labels with this yet but I have been evaluating the types of labels it can do. I am generally impressed but there is one major issue that makes it doubtful that I will purchase the printer to go along with this. I am interested in this solution to print asset labels for my office. Nothing fancy, just the asset name with a QR code of the name next to it so it can be read by a human on a scanner. There is a template built in to do that but you have to edit the text and QR code separately. There is no way that I can find to have the QR code tied to the text so that updating one updates both. This means doubled effort and a very good possibility that we will end up printing labels where the text and QR codes don't match.

### 4/5 — Ok for most usage

*2015-11-02*

This app works great for everything I have tried to do except for printing text vertically.
Please add vertical or 'rotate' control for any selected piece of text.

### 1/5 — Great printer but horrible app

*2015-08-30, version 1.3.1*

95% of the time I receive a Bluetooth communication error. Have paired, repaired, reset, etc. Completely useless. Can only print using windows software and a printer cable.

### 1/5 — Failure in Bluetooth Connection

*2020-12-29*

This app cannot find Epson LW-600P mobile printer to be connected on Bluetooth!!!!. Don’t waste your money neither on it nor on the printer itself.

### 1/5 — iOS 14 font picker broken...

*2020-10-11, version 1.7.0*

Lost ability to use custom fonts. Please fix!

### 1/5 — Connection problems

*2020-06-16*

This app take me five minutes to connect to the printer. Even when it connects I constantly get the error “communications error” and have to wait several more minutes for it to connect. Never had these problems with the brother printers.

### 1/5 — App or printer Bluetooth buggy

*2020-03-03*

Don’t know if problem is with the app or Epson Bluetooth implementation. App can’t communicate to printer 95% of the time. A big waste of time to produce a label.

### 1/5 — Buggy and unreliable

*2017-10-19, version 1.5.1*

It seems every time iOS is updated, my label printer stops working. Can somebody tell Epson about the existence of the iOS beta programme, which allows developers to test their buggy, cobbled-together apps before Apple update the os?

### 1/5 — **CAUTION** iOS 10 = Error -  A Communication Error

*2017-09-21, version 1.5.1*

From a 4 star rating to 1 star. 

The iOS app Epson deployed in March of 2017 and the update to fix bugs in July of 2017 has the same old features and one major problem; the wifi connection will CONSTANTLY loose Bluetooth connection with iPads and iPhones. Shortly after pressing the print button you will get a message that reads: Error -  A Communication Error. 

I own a LW-600P and have used this same app for years and printed thousands upon thousands of labels. The version released in March 17, 2017 for iOS 10 once again had NO noticeable improvements to this outdated user interface. The update released in July-2017 didn't fix the problem. It is a problem with the app and not the device. I bought a second new device and now both old and new printers loose connection after touching the print button.

After speaking with others that use these label printers I found out that Android devices work just fine. But iOS iPad and iPhone devices loose Bluetooth connection over, and over, and over again.  You may sometimes get lucky and get one label to print right after rediscovering the device. 

For Epson:

First order of business is to fix the unstable connection issue ASAP. That would get us back to what we had prior to Mar-17. 

Second, it would be a HUGE improvement to include a batch print function to this app. For years it has been the same painful process.  Being limited to 970 characters you can paste into the text window is bad enough. But having to click print, wait, and then highlight and delete 2 (3/8"/9mm), 3 (1/2"/12mm) or 4 (3/4"/15mm) rows of text just to queue up the next label and press print again is insane. This is a massive waste of everyone's time.

In conclusion, get your propeller-heads to fix your code and update this app to allow us to load a text file or column from Excel and print (use the width of tape and scale of text to determine how many lines are printed in a batch run). The patch is MANDATORY for anyone who is an iOS user. The batch print would be a HUGE improvement for people that print 1000's of labels each week.

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2017-06-09, version 1.5.0*

Catalog broken

### 1/5 — Version 1.5.0 Broken in iOS 10.2.1

*2017-04-22, version 1.5.0*

App is usually reliable, but version 1.5.0 pretty much breaks the app for iOS 10.2.1. App cannot maintain reliable Bluetooth connection to label-maker and abruptly crashes and quits when I attempt to print.

### 1/5 — Broken for me

*2017-04-04*

Clunky interface, but used to work ok, but since latest update refuses to connect to my LW-600P (even though I have a successful Bluetooth connection with the printer on my iPhone) and/or crashes every time I try to print a label. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Bluetooth connection constant errors

*2016-07-04, version 1.4.2*

First, the Bluetooth connection of my LW-600P to my iPhone is barely usable. It constantly says "connection error" and won't print.

Secondly, a recent update removed the condensed font I have been using for years to label folders. Now I have to use a different font which is less legible and doesn't fit as well. Absolutely infuriating.

This thing is a great idea in principle but it just results in me pulling my hair out in frustration, every time I use it....

Please fix it it!

### 5/5 — New changers coming 2025

*2024-08-29, version 1.8.0*

I noticed today that you are stopping this app and moving on to your new app. How do I convert 100s of labels that I have created to work on the new app I think this app is much easier too use please advise

### 5/5 — Slight improvement required

*2021-09-19, version 1.7.4*

Printer, idea is great. I’m electrician and I can say it is one of the best printer on the market for electricians.
Is many samples on app, but I can’t finger out how to copy or extend them, very likely it can be done only on pc…
Anyway Highly recommend purchasing one - is worth it.

### 5/5 — Error! Bluetooth signal lost

*2020-05-07, version 1.7.0*

Is a beautiful, can print little labels but if you used with your phone or table via Bluetooth , is a night mare I have it for a year but today  im so piss off  so i decide to write this revew but it first i just was looking for app update to see if can work better and nothing. Took me two hour to   15 little labels   just because i need to reconnect the Bluetooth connection more then 30 time.. i hate it now . Might will work ok if is connect it to a computer wit the cable.

### 5/5 — Fantastic update

*2017-03-11*

Lots of new features in this update.  Necessary app for my LW-600P bluetooth label printer.  No vertical text yet though.

### 5/5 — Great, intuitive app

*2016-12-13*

Nice update. Works well. Can print normal text labels and also QR codes! Easy to use. Does require a compatible Epson label printer. I use LW-600P.

### 5/5 — Much Improved Bluetooth implementation

*2016-10-22, version 1.4.3*

Much better experience. The app now has built in connection to the printer.

Would be good if the printer was always listening. Or you could control the standby.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2015-07-05*

Works with no problems with my LW-600P.  Easy to design and use with this app.

### 5/5 — Cro app store

*2014-10-13, version 1.2.3*

Message from my good friend: Please make this App available in Croatian app store.

### 5/5 — Nice little printer, nice little app

*2014-09-30*

This app is very simple, but yet good enough to use. My kids enjoy to pick a pic from the lib and add some text and print a label out then stick it some where. Frankly speaking I don't expect a printer company can build a app work like this. I seen worse.

### 5/5 — Great

*2014-06-08*

I have been looking for a small, portable label printer to use for awhile.  This is app and the epson lw-600  label printer is perfect for what I need.  I hope they offer more tape options like the ones that are available for their other label printers.
