### 1/5 — 이거 안되나요?이제?

*2026-07-11, version 3.4.6*

오랜만에 쓰려니까 연결이 안되는데 고쳐주세요

### 1/5 — Rating

*2026-07-09, version 3.4.6*

Horrible, made me pay for it.

### 1/5 — Not updated

*2026-06-27, version 3.4.6*

Hi, can you please update the app and FAQ. The printer does not even show up under WiFi options in iPhone when it is turned on and cannot connect.


When I try to submit issue on the website through contact the section, it won’t submit and it says page not found

### 1/5 — Never connects with printer

*2026-06-22, version 3.4.6*

The app never connects with the printer. I would recommend looking into a different printer/app.

### 3/5 — Please update this app

*2026-06-21, version 3.4.6*

The ability to search for photos is nonexistent, and requires so much scrolling around. Just allowing a share action from the Photos app itself would help so much.

### 1/5 — Not updated

*2026-06-06, version 3.4.6*

Hi, can you please update the app and FAQ. The printer does not even show up under WiFi options in iPhone when it is turned on and cannot connect.

*2026-05-22, version 3.4.6*

Everytime I pick a photo it says can’t print cuz it’s not supported. Like bro what?????????

### 1/5 — Not working anymore

*2026-05-14, version 3.4.6*

Printer shows not connected on my iphone 15 instax share app even though it is connected to wifi and location permissions are on. So basically since you didn't update your firmware correctly I now cannot use the printer for anything. Absolute garbage. Never buying instax again.
