Very disappointing ### 2/5 — Doesn’t print! *2026-03-13, version 2.0* Whenever I print a label from Shopify, the printer just spits out a blank label. Incredibly frustrating - why can’t I just add this as a printer to my device? Any way to get it to work? ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2026-01-09, version 2.0* My phone recognizes the coreprint printer in the Bluetooth settings but the device does not appear in the app. Turned the device on and off, deleted and redownloaded the app, and still nothing. The printer just sits in pairing mode and cannot be used. If I could give this app zero stars, I would ### 1/5 — Won’t connect to Bluetooth *2026-01-08, version 2.0* Won’t connect brand new out of box ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-01-01, version 2.0* Got the mini printer as a Christmas gift. Was excited to use it. And the app doesn’t work! I would’ve loved to be able to even test it out. As far as I can tell the product works fine, the app is a different story. Downloaded the app, follow all the directions to a T, and it won’t let me connect to my printer! I’ve tried all the tips; restarted my phone, updated or un downloaded and re downloaded the app, fully charged the printer and my phone, nothing works. Can’t even print one thing because it won’t connect! Do not even bother buying the product ### 1/5 — Blue Tooth will not connect *2025-12-23, version 2.0* I have an Apple 17 with the latest software and it says printer is not supported. ### 1/5 — Can’t get it to connect *2025-12-22, version 2.0* Can’t get it to connect to my iPhone. Tried different iPhones, but nothing is working. Even tried ChatGPT. ### 3/5 — Printer *2025-12-21, version 2.0* I got this printer about a year ago it’s been working very great I stuffed it away because I had more other stuff to do and it’s almost next Xmas I found it and I wanted to use it again! Everything was working the indicator everything but when I went on the app to connect it did not show and I deleted the app got it back tried again and again and I still cannot see the connection tab PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM!! ### 1/5 — Does not show up in Bluetooth *2025-12-19, version 2.0* I had bee trying to pair my mini thermal printer with no success. I put the printer in pairing mode and pull up the app to connect but it never shows up to pair it. I really wanted this to work. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Printer can’t connect Bluetooth *2025-11-21, version 2.0* I had tried too many times to connect the printer, always showed cannot support ### 4/5 — Omg *2025-11-19, version 2.0* I love this printer but I can’t figure out how to pick something from my photo library 😭 ### 1/5 — App won’t work *2025-11-15, version 2.0* App wont work printer wont connect save money and buy a real printer InstaPrint is absolutely garbage ### 1/5 — This is stupid *2025-10-30, version 2.0* I’m so frustrated. I’m bout to cry. It’s not working. It won’t connect it. I got this for last Christmas and it was working perfectly but now it won’t connect. I might sue. ### 1/5 — Does not work from mac *2025-10-23, version 2.0* I can see it from my phone, but the mac does not see it. I tried switching off my iphone bluetooth. ### 1/5 — Absolutely garbage *2025-10-01, version 2.0* This app might as well not even exist. Unfortunately, it’s the only way to connect to the CoreInnovations mini thermal printer. That’s about all you can do, though—connect. After that, you can’t import files to print or anything useful. This makes the whole printer useless. DON’T BUY THE COREINNOVATION MINI THERMAL PRINTER! You can’t use it. ### 1/5 — Why am I paying if it’s blue tooth? *2025-09-25, version 2.0* It’s been making me pay 6.52 every Wednesday and my bank said who ever the payments are through have an automatic override so I can’t stop the payments… I cant stop the payments in app either. I’m having to get a completely new debit card so I don’t have to pay anymore… ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2025-09-13, version 2.0* I have done everything but it still won’t work. I don’t see customer service numbers to call or chat to resolve this. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — doesnt work *2026-05-01, version 2.0* doesn’t work on macOS, only on phones ### 1/5 — NO GOOD *2026-04-25, version 2.0* Is hard to connect with the bluetooth ### 1/5 — Core innovations printer *2026-03-30, version 2.0* Returned to Walmart.
