Waste of time and money. ### 2/5 — Frustrating new version…. *2021-12-21, version 8.64* This is the new version for the Kodak printer. Ever since Kodak made me update to this version….the other app will not work….my printer does not work properly at all. The printer worked perfectly all the time with the other app. Now it jams or doesn’t work or something happens all the time. Very frustrating. I hope Kodak fixes this issue immediately because I’m getting very frustrated. I’ve had this printer for over a year and have printed tons of pics. ### 1/5 — Why do you need microphone access? *2021-08-27, version 8.64* New app will not print photos to printer unless I give it microphone access. There is zero need for you to access my microphone. If this is a bug, fix it fast or allow your old printer program to run without relaying is to your new invasive app. The old one that worked is ‘Kodak instant print’ ### 1/5 — Awful app *2021-07-07, version 8.53* One of the worst apps I’ve ever bought dont buy this garbage ### 1/5 — Infinite loop of firmware update *2021-06-29, version 8.53* Whether Android or Apple results same. Attempts to print photo call for mandatory firmware update that on Android never complete and on Apple that complete but the. Start again on next attempt to print a photo. Device shall be returned. ### 2/5 — Bare bones functionality. UI defects all over *2021-06-16, version 8.53* This application looks like It was an after thought. The app resolution does not fit an iPhone 11. Buttons are out of view on the tutorial. The Instagram share now button looks like we are in 2008. It’s clunky. And it does not even work. It says coming soon. Why ship out this function if it’s not ready. This app needs a serious overhaul. Had it been carefully updated, this product would be a serious hot item. As such the app makes it meh. It’s ok. And gets the job done. ### 1/5 — Can’t select a photo *2021-02-12, version 8.34* Can’t select a photo to print from my gallery. The app freezes up. I’ve tried closing out and restarting and even that isn’t working. ### 2/5 — Not usable on iPad *2021-02-09, version 8.34* Works on iPhone iPad not usable ### 1/5 — this is not worth it *2021-02-03, version 8.17* this app is not working and it’s making me very mad. i paid for the film the printer this other thing for it and it’s not working. ### 1/5 — Not happy *2021-01-23, version 8.13* Overall the app is okay a few bugs need to be fixed but the printer on the other hand Is you he worst thing I’ve ever bought. I would not be recommend this to any one. If I could star if a zero I would. ### 3/5 — Bluetooth connected- “no printer found” Mini 2 P210 *2021-01-20, version 8.10* After several attempts to connect via the manual’s instructions I emailed Kodak. My issue was Bluetooth would connect but device would not print, I contacted Kodak (very responsive!) who instructed me to disconnect other devices on Bluetooth that were connected in addition to this device. I disconnected my Fitbit and printer worked! ### 1/5 — App *2020-12-29, version 8.10* I have followed the directions to a T. The printer and my phone say connected, but the app says it isn’t. Any ideas? ### 1/5 — Garbage *2020-10-06, version 6.5* Just keeps saying update. Haven't been able to print a thing. Bluetooth or not. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This is the worst *2023-02-04, version 8.73* This is my first time complaining about something. And it kept saying something needed to be replaced so after it was replaced it kept saying it. Nothing worked no matter what me and my family did. Also the photos would only be yellow and then it stopped saying it need to be replaced and then another bc we thought it was a bad one then it didn’t do ANYTHING! THIS IS THE WORST CAMERA EVER I DON’T RECOMMEND! ### 1/5 — Terrible photo quality *2022-04-27, version 8.72* The resolution and color quality of the prints comes out very poor even when using high resolution images. I’m hoping to get a refund. I’ve emailed customer service and am waiting to hear back. ### 1/5 — No setting for passports any longer *2022-04-19, version 8.72* This printer used to make passport photos easy. With the new update it’s just trial and error wasting stacks of photos paper trying to get it right. Look elsewhere before you buy this printer / use the app. ### 1/5 — Cut my photo by default *2022-02-23, version 8.64* why it cut my photo's edges by default? I have to adjust manually for every single photo. So stupid design. ### 1/5 — Horrible product *2022-01-11, version 8.64* Asks to replace cartridge even though it’s brand new and still has pictures in it! ### 1/5 — Stopped working ! *2022-01-01, version 8.64* This printer used to work great! After the most recent firmware update it gives a cartridge error and won’t print. Gave this as a Christmas gift because I loveD mine so much and it doesn’t work. Please fix!!!!! ### 1/5 — App crashes every time I try to hit print *2021-12-24, version 8.64* Can’t print anything as the app immediately crashes when I hit the print button. What a waste. ### 1/5 — Get the other one *2021-11-23, version 8.64* This is the older version ### 1/5 — Garbage *2021-09-10, version 8.64* Extremely convoluted setup. Does not print the whole picture, part of it it cut off even though I already painstakingly formatted the image beforehand. The printer and app are both worthless. How can a multi billion dollar company screw up something so simple this badly? ### 1/5 — Does not work *2021-09-01, version 8.64* Wasted 2 sheets on just yellow printed paper then said lost connection. The printer is junk as well. I bought 7 extra paper packs and I can only get maybe 3 photos to print and the rest of the sheets won’t feed. Worst $70 I spent! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-09-02, version 8.64* I love this app. All the images I have printed came out amazingly well. I can now remember all my past memories. ### 5/5 — Good! *2020-12-25, version 8.10* I love this! The image came out amazingly well even when it wasn’t up to the standards! It’s so bright, and I didn’t even add anything. Definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — love this! *2020-12-24, version 8.10* honestly i dont know why theres so many bad reviews? it works perfect for me! ive printed 10+ photos and its working just fine! even the 'low quality' photos come out exactly like the photo on my phone! 5 stars for me, ### 5/5 — Clear. Convenient *2020-08-27, version 6.1* Photos come out clear and perfectly! The app is very easy to use n my friends love these photos! ### 5/5 — Great and easy app *2020-08-19, version 6.1* This is so awesome and helped me so much!!! ### 5/5 — Good program *2020-07-11, version 5.8* It is nice program ### 4/5 — I enjoy it, but images are low quality *2021-12-26, version 8.64* Overall, I’m really enjoying this printer dock. I learned a lot in only a short amount of time in order to get the best results. And it sure beats using my printer ink. When I just want one photo for my picture frame, I don’t have to order photos online or waste my ink. This dock gives me a simple, quick and easy way to just get a photo out. And it doesn’t take long to print at all. Read on if you wanna learn why I didn’t give it a full five-star… I managed to get the printer to print my photos on the OLD app (don’t use the new one, it won’t work. Just flip back into the old app pulled up on your phone and it will run just fine). The only thing I didn’t like is the quality of the photos. I’m not looking for uber-professional quality, but this is only decent. And for the price you have to pay for new toner cartridges and sheets over time may not be worth the outcome of the photos. But it’s mostly for fun anyway, so if you don’t mind a decent image, this will work just fine. But I’m not only talking about “low resolution”, I’m also talking about the color quality, the brightness, and the photo matching accuracy (for a lack of better terminology). My images that were on the bright side of color (yellow, white, orange, pink, bright red) came out way to bright compared to the original picture. I had to reduce the brightness setting to 40% (normal is 50%) in order to get a decent image. The binding colors of yellow, magenta, and cyan tend to create a image that appears blurry even if your photo was a high resolution, thus resulting in a not-so-similar photo result. But again, this is a quick and fun way to get your images fast without using your printer INK.. the cartridges don’t “run out” the way ink would. These toners are built specifically for the amount specified on the cartridge. 40 sheets = 40 sheets, and you don’t have to guess if you’re going to have enough. As long as you have enough sheets, your cartridge SHOULD run the full amount. (Unless for some reason you damage the cartridge because the sheets got jammed, which I’ve done, an accident on my part…) ### 4/5 — I need some help *2020-12-17, version 7.1* I have the printer and the app is working fine but I can’t get it to connect I have it connected in setting to my phone and it is on and right here but the app says that there are no printers that it can find?! I don’t know what to do! ### 3/5 — It has some issues :/ *2022-01-05, version 8.64* It worked for a while but then started saying the the cartridge needs replacing even when I had just replaced it. I emailed customer service about it and they recommended deleting and re downloading the app which I did and it worked once and then stopped working once again, saying cartridge needs replacing when it is brand new. Apart from that, it usually works well and the pictures turn out great. ### 3/5 — Why no extension? *2021-04-14, version 8.34* You should be able to print from iOS Photos. The app should offer an extension to Photos to allow printing from Photos. It could send the image to the app for cropping or editing, but choosing images in the app is a horrible user experience. Teeny thumbnails! Use Photos! Much better experience. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
