We're glad to hear you enjoy the app. - Polaroid Photography Europe ### 2/5 — Can’t sign in *2018-01-10, version 3.1.4* Cool app but broken ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work any longer *2017-11-08* Doesn’t seem to work with my iPhone 8. The instant lab won’t expose a picture no matter how I reposition the phone. Worked well with all my previous iPhones. ### 1/5 — Can't login *2017-10-14, version 3.1.4* Fixing the problem of letting people actually login into the app would go a long way... ### 3/5 — Digital to analog *2017-09-20, version 3.1.4* Duse a good job with the lab But can't login ### 4/5 — Scanner for 300? *2017-07-07, version 3.1.4* So far enjoying the scanner and seems to work great! However, (and I know the pic300 film isn't an Impossible product, but would love if the scanner could recognize that size, too. ### 2/5 — Like most; Login *2017-07-02, version 3.1.4* I see the great potential in this app and as someone who is trying to get into photography, and who loves Polaroid, I'd like to do ordering film right from an easy source. I'd love to be able to log in and use the app to its fullest potential. 'Tis sad that this doesn't work. ### 2/5 — Login *2017-06-11, version 3.1.4* It'd be nice if their was actually an option to make an account and login..... ### 2/5 — Be nice if I could actually sign in *2017-05-05, version 3.1.4* I love using this app to crop and save my polaroids to my phone but really I could probably do that without this app. So I figured I'll try the gallery and upload a few of my pics, but I can't sign in with my online information. Why can't I sign in? So what good is this app if you can't post the pictures you've taken to the gallery because it doesn't recognize your login. Impossible your film is so expensive seems like you could afford to fix this issue. I love buying the film, don't us as customer deserve an app that works right? ## Frequently asked questions about Impossible Project ### What does the Impossible Project app do?
