Hopefully they push a fix sometime. ### 1/5 — Useless *2024-11-16, version 1.6.0* Unable to connect to the laser engraver, tapping not connected does nothing. Three little dots give feedback when tapped, but also does nothing. ### 1/5 — App not working *2024-01-03* Won’t work. It keeps crashing. ### 1/5 — Amazon laser engravers seller scams by selling time bomb software corruption *2023-05-13* It just stopped working out of nowhere, please call to help fix 360 660 0798 ### 1/5 — Fails to connect to the engraving device *2021-12-27* The device connects to the mobile hotspot, but the app fails to recognise the device connection. ### 5/5 — The App DOES Work *2021-12-26* You need to enable “Maximize Compatibility” in the IOS hotspot settings in order for it to connect properly. If you don’t see that setting, you need to update your phone. I haven’t had any issues with the app, does the job. The app could be made a little nicer but again it works. I do dislike that it has to connect through hotspot and not through Bluetooth or WiFi. ### 1/5 — If I could give 0 stars *2021-12-12* App says not connected phone says it is. That’s the nicest thing I can say after hours of trying ### 5/5 — Pretty good *2021-12-10* Works pretty well on my iPhone. Just set up a tethering network and it automatically connects. Pretty simple. Included word art and images work well. Sometimes freezes when trying to use photo’s though. I guess it takes a lot of cpu to convert an image to a format the engraver can understand. ### 3/5 — Needs a few tweaks *2021-05-23* Once you get over the trips and traps, the app is easy to use. The English instructions are not that clear though. Had to Google and YouTube for help as none easy to find from the source. There’s a K6 user group on Facebook that has a lot of good resources. This app is missing a few features that the desktop version has such as "center the image" button, "save" function, and changing from "carve" to "cut" modes. The connectivity is unreliable, but achievable. (Have only used on iPhone 8plus) Rarely can you do 2 images one after another without re-connecting and re starting the app. So it’s best suited for one-off projects, not short run productions. The turn on order is important to get a consistent connection. First, turn on the K6, (wait 6 seconds) then on the phone, "allow others to connect" with the hotspot. (Wifi must be off and use "aaaabbbb"). Finally, load the app and create or load your image to burn. I find that if you spend too much time setting up the image, the connection drops out before it can be sent to the K6 unit. And then you have to close the app and restart the connection process all over again. So this app works best with single images stored on your phone. The K6 does an excellent job when the right settings are tweaked in for the particular material being cut or burned, but this review is about the app not the K6 unit. Again, the app needs some improvements to come up to par with the PC version. ### 5/5 — Great app when connected correctly! *2021-04-05* When first using this app I thought it just wouldn’t work with my laser engraver. It was not connecting at first but with a little back and forth with the WiFi connection on the iPhone and the laser engraver it finally connected and worked flawlessly. I give this 5 stars because it does exactly what it says it’s going to do and works phenomenally replacing my laptop all together. ## Frequently asked questions about Laser engraving ### What does this app do?
