### 1/5 — Less functional all the time

*2026-08-24, version 2.80.56*

I’ve been using my HP Sprocket for years and the app has only become less functional with time. I used to be able to create collages easily, and reformat my images so that they fit into the spaces provided by the app. A while ago, they updated the app and took away this functionality. Now if you try to use the collage feature, no matter what orientation I have the pictures saved in, the app loads them in the wrong way, and I have to rearrange the pictures to the right orientation manually. This is a maddeningly finnicky app and has completely destroyed the usability of the app and my printer. I wouldn’t recommend unless you want a bad headache.

### 1/5 — It worked great…for a day

*2026-08-24, version 2.80.56*

Now the printer won’t work anymore. If done troubleshooting and nothing is fixing my problem.

### 2/5 — Occasionally Works

*2026-08-24, version 2.80.56*

Still haven’t figured out how to accept Them and Conditions so I can print from Photos. Almost everyone I use it, I run into an issue I have to figure out. I got it a few years ago and it frustrated me so much I put it away. Now that I am trying to use it…well, here I am.

### 3/5 — Meh 😒 😑 🫤

*2026-08-23, version 2.80.56*

Printer won’t connect otherwise good 😌

### 4/5 — Pics of Fam

*2026-08-23, version 2.80.56*

Love the color the pics come out sharp and nice absolutely enjoy having I create my own art

### 5/5 — Sprocket mostly great

*2026-08-23, version 2.80.56*

This is a great little printer. I love the fact that it doesn’t need ink and is easy to use. The only thing I don’t like is that there doesn’t seem to be a way to sort photos by year - if your photos are old you do a whole lot of scrolling!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-23, version 2.80.56*

This app and printer is amazing 5 stars

### 4/5 — Color

*2026-08-23, version 2.80.56*

Good…but I’m still trying to get it a little more natural and not as “orange” in the background.

### 2/5 — App is great, device is not

*2026-08-23, version 2.80.56*

I bought my first sprocket a couple of years ago. The app is great but the device itself needs improvement. It overheats very easily and the battery only lasts about 20 minutes

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2026-08-23, version 2.80.56*

It is so nice to print such great quality photos!
