### 1/5 — ポンコツ過ぎる

*2023-08-18*

### 1/5 — Whoever designed this needs to find a new career

*2023-03-31*

This totally does not work

### 1/5 — Garbage garbage garbage

*2023-01-25*

They can’t much right anymore. Fire all upper management and start over you people have cost me time and money. Broken product and crap software.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2023-01-07*

This found nothing for me and offered me no alternatives.

### 2/5 — 每一次重新连接都是一次折磨

*2022-05-30*

不知道为什么连接这么麻烦，有的时候忙活半天连不上，然后又自己连上了，搞不懂，我不理解。

### 1/5 — Não funciona

*2022-03-30*

Não funciona para iPhone. Não encontra a impressora e quando encontra não imprime

### 1/5 — Don’t  buy the Epson iPrint had nothing but trouble

*2022-03-20*

If the power goes out the printer won’t  connect  to the iPrint.  Everyone that needs to use the printer has to download the epson iPrint app. The app finds the printer and printer up address but still doesn’t print from my phone. ( prints from the computer ok) 
The scan to email will only work on my gmail account and won’t send to my work account email.  Scan to computer is abit hit and miss too. Says it is sent but doesn’t always show up in the download folder. The epson iPrint app says to connect using the wifi set up on the printer . But the setting on the printer are different to what it says in the app. I used the setup from printer ( from my phone app details on how to set up) still didn’t work. It can find the printer in settings in the App,  but not when actually try and print it can’t find the printer.

### 1/5 — Why?

*2022-02-27*

How many apps does it take to get one printer to work?  Apparently more.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2022-02-02*

Это приложение вообще не работает и ничего не находит

### 1/5 — Doesn't Work

*2022-01-12*

The application is useless and doesn't work on latest iOS

### 1/5 — MurrMann

*2021-12-16*

Trying to connect to WF-2650 doesn’t work. Printer on WiFi, iPad on same WiFi, doesn’t find. Apparently this printer does not have AirPrint, so won’t connect.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-12-04, version 1.4.9*

Unreliable before.

Now simply non functional in iOS 15.1. 

Why did I buy five of these printers?

### 1/5 — Not working again

*2021-10-19*

Since Apple introduced iOS 15 the app has failed to work. For some reason the Apple support like also has a failure, so cannot even report the failure to Epson or Apple leaving no option but to do it via a poor review 🤨

### 1/5 — Can’t find printer

*2021-10-03*

Thought with all advice programs that you will be able to fix find printer on Ipad & IPhone direct but still NOT working. You need to fix that

### 1/5 — Less than worthless. Doesn’t work.

*2021-09-11*

Just doesn’t work. But then, the real problem may be with Epson’s printer firmware.

### 1/5 — LINEから

*2021-07-09*

エプソンコネクトのアドレス登録はPCからしか出来ないのか？アイホンで進めても管理者ログインのパスワードも設定してないのに…
こうなった時はこうなど、対処法の記載が全くなくてわからない。
プリンターの設定は凄くわかりやすかったのに…

### 1/5 — Awful

*2021-07-03*

Didn’t have high hopes as the printer itself is awful, but true to form this is a massive waste of time too.

### 1/5 — Absolutely useless in IOS 14

*2021-05-31, version 1.4.8*

This Epson App is nothing other than a time wasting distraction.It’s simply does not work. Following the guidelines in the help file to examine privacy and enabled Apps confirms the App is enabled. Toggling permission off and back on has no effect. The App does not find the printer. Per other reviews, this App does not do what it claims to do. Very poor service and App Epson!

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2021-04-05*

Found my printer sure, but it doesn’t do any management. It just redirects me to a browser session for the web page to manage the device. I can do that on my own.

Typical bloatware!

### 1/5 — Global ID

*2026-08-02*

advised to download for remote access using Global ID. Unable to get past login screen, given up and deleted!

### 1/5 — ET-2840

*2026-01-11*

Can't find

### 1/5 — No option for air print on the app

*2025-05-02*

Same here with no printer found. I checked and double checked every possible way to connect from my phone.  Also there is no option for air print.

Useless and pointless.

Going back to Brother printer.  Where I can print from my phone without all this running about wasting time. Could have had multiple pages printed

### 1/5 — ゴミアプリ？本当に公式なのこれ

*2025-04-26*

スクショ通りの画面が出てこない。
EPSON connectの設定をしたいのに、なぜか本体の設定web画面がブラウザで表示されるだけ。

どうしろと？

### 1/5 — プリンタが見つからない

*2025-03-14*

対応機種、ローカルネットワークもオンなのにプリンタが見つからない

### 1/5 — App does NOT work!

*2024-10-18*

Love the printer but this app is useless. Running IOS 17. I’ve removed and reinstalled this app to no avail. Even standing in front of the printer this app cannot find it. Garbage!!!

### 1/5 — Admin Password reset

*2024-09-12*

There’s no way to reset your administrator password if you forget it or have set one by mistake.
Very frustrating

### 1/5 — is anybody reading these reviews

*2024-09-12*

if this APP is not monitored AND MANAGED, it should be removed from the APP Store.
my iPhone and iPad cannot find and connect to my printer. This APP just spins in a long wait. Where is the Firmware Update? this APP cannot find that so it times out, not finding any printer.
FIX IT

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-03-16*

Unreliable before. Now simply non functional in iOS 15.1. Why did I buy five of these printers?

The one and only thing it ever recommends is to restart your network. 

NOTHING ELSE ON MY NETWORK IS SO CONSISTENTLY NOT-FOUND AS MY EPSON PRINTERS !!!

(And just as bad with the epson PC printer finder)

### 1/5 — Awful

*2024-02-02*

Only OCCASIONALLY works on an iPhone 12 Pro, rarely on iPad Gen 4 Pro both using latest 17.7 IOS.

### 5/5 — 好用是好用

*2021-01-19*

好用这个是肯定的，但是就是翻译的有些麻烦，我们家里除了我（初中）还有一个妹妹（小学），翻译起来不是很方便，希望开发商完善一下~🙏👀

### 5/5 — 好用

*2020-12-12*

很好用。这个好像不需要中文吧？楼上的没文化就别出来秀咯？

### 5/5 — 很好

*2020-08-24*

不会翻译的你们小学还没上吧

### 5/5 — 打一🌟的怕不是文盲

*2020-07-15*

人家说了要下两个软件 看不懂自己翻译啊 说白了就是没文化还嫌弃软件不好用 🙄️

### 5/5 — Epson Stylus Photo PX730

*2020-06-30*

Works fine.

### 5/5 — 给那些差评的

*2020-03-19*

这个软件只是链接网络，还有其他的功能是要用爱普生其他软件。

### 5/5 — 很好用啊！

*2020-03-06*

你们说的那些问题都是你们自己没有弄清楚，看到评论一个一个的问题都是我们解决的，就那个英文网页，你没有翻译吗？截图一下，然后翻译不就行了吗？有本事你们做一个软件？

### 5/5 — Works Great

*2019-12-21*

Followed simple instructions, app found printer and opened settings for AirPrint, and printed Word doc.

### 5/5 — Worked perfectly

*2019-02-14*

Although I was dubious this worked in seconds for Wi-fi printer.

### 5/5 — Saved my sanity

*2018-11-25*

I have a wi fi printer that just completely stopped responding and I was in a real pickle. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, tried manual set up etc.  Pulling my hair out...tech rage coming on. I found this app, downloaded it, opened it, and it found my printer instantly and I am over the moon. If only I saw this app hours ago!
