### 4/5 — Mixed opinions

*2026-08-11, version 2.5.610*

The first time I tried using this printer (2024) it didn’t work. Recently I restarted it and I think it was a good product. One of the downsides was I don’t think you can refill ink on it. It does print in color though, so it’s not just a black and white printer. I recommend the white printer (not sure what type because Im not at home right now.) Great product though; I recommend it.

### 3/5 — Printers great - the app isn’t

*2026-07-18, version 2.5.610*

The quality of the photos is stellar and if the app didn’t struggle to open photos or connect with the printer I would be obsessed. Not sure if I would recommend it or not. If there’s another out there with a better functioning app I would say go with that one.

### 2/5 — The app is clunky at best

*2026-07-17, version 2.5.610*

The printer quality is amazing but the app only worked seamlessly the first 2-3 times I printed. Ever since photos get stuck in the task queue and nothing happens. I’ve had to delete and reinstall the app to make it function as it should multiple times. It is extremely frustrating. I hope they fix it because the printer itself is awesome.

### 3/5 — Frustrating Artificial Limitation

*2026-07-06, version 2.5.610*

It's irritating that I can only print 9 photos at a time. The printer physically holds 20 pieces of photo paper, so the official made-for-the-printer app should be able to handle 20 photos at a time. There's no reason to limit the number of photos the app can print to ANY number that's lower than the printer's capacity. If I want to print 20 photos and use an entire package of photo paper, I have to navigate the photo library 3 times!

### 4/5 — Works for PixCut C1

*2026-06-26, version 2.5.504*

I use this app for the PixCut C1 and it has worked well for me over the past year. I have been able to adjust things well for the sticker printing and cutting, and the added AI background remover has been a handy feature.

### 2/5 — Works great until it doesn’t

*2026-06-25, version 2.5.504*

I like the printer and everything worked fine for almost a year. After a phone change, I haven’t been able to reconnect and have tried every trick I can find on the internet. The app offers no help, it’s very frustrating. Can’t use my printer at all right now.

### 4/5 — Mid

*2026-06-25, version 2.5.504*

Printer and app is great, sticker paper is not.

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2026-06-11, version 2.5.314*

This app has been such a lifesaver with customizing edits for sticker purposes. Ability to do so much on the app, as well as tons of pre-set designs and elements available. Love it and would recommend

### 5/5 — A journaler’s Best Friend

*2026-06-11, version 2.5.314*

Great App - easy to use, just power on, go to settings on your phone, Bluetooth, select the printer. Start printing! 
 I’ve been researching small photo printers so I could add photos to my daily journal entry. I also like to print some of the thousands of screenshots on my phone. This small portable, easy to set up and easy to use printer has been so much fun to use. The quality is exceptional and the app is easy to use. I’m so happy I found the Liene Pearl N200 Pro 🌱

### 5/5 — Love!

*2026-06-11, version 2.5.314*

Honestly love this printer/ app. So many possibilities and so many free prints. Thank you 🥰

### 5/5 — User Friendly

*2026-06-10, version 2.5.314*

I use the app for 2 of the 3 printer models & have nothing but great things to say about it. It’s intuitive, self-explanatory, easy to use & includes embedded AI functions for bonus points!

### 4/5 — App with PIXCUT

*2026-06-09, version 2.5.314*

I got my PIXCUT a few months ago and so far, I really like it.  The company is pretty responsive to requests and are at least constantly adding updates.  Looking forward to seeing what new features they add in the future!  (Hopefully the ability to make “inner” cuts and some different sticker papers)

### 5/5 — Perfect！

*2026-06-09, version 2.5.314*

beautiful photo！

### 5/5 — So much fun!

*2026-06-08, version 2.5.314*

I love creating stickers on here! It lets my creativity have zero limits. I have used so many types of stickers on here (regular stickers, credit card stickers, phone sticker etc) that it is hard to pick a favorite type. So many ideas that other users make too to help design! Fun app!!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — so limited with photos

*2026-08-03, version 2.5.610*

Do not try to print photos with canvas for creative freedom as the paper gets stuck in machine for being the wrong size. I want to love the printer but it is limited by a cranky app. You can’t print creatively on photo paper and save your project. You can’t resize photos on the photo paper, it only wants to print maximum fill the page and leave parts of your photo missing. I rather have a smaller print with the entire photo. It is clunky with bloated templates you will never use.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-07-29*

Ads. Notification ads, popover ads when you try to open the app, ads within the app. I fully expect in a year for it to force you to watch an inskippable video to use the hardware.

### 1/5 — Worst App

*2026-07-28, version 2.5.610*

Was hoping to just find a Bluetooth printer that worked. Hate having to use this Ai slop to try and get the printer to work. Worst experience.

### 1/5 — Bad photo layouts

*2026-07-23, version 2.5.610*

This app actually, genuinely, made me SO mad when I could not rotate my photos in the collage section using the M100. I feel if you are going to offer a collage option there should also be the option to rotate the photo while you are editing pictures on the collage. I should not have to open a third party app like canva to collage my photos to my liking because you have locked that ability. At that point just get rid of the collage ability as a whole for the M100.

### 1/5 — Love, but!

*2026-06-19, version 2.5.406*

Love the print quality but the app definitely needs working on!

### 1/5 — Avoid this Product for MacOS

*2026-06-16, version 2.5.314*

I downloaded the MacOS app for the Liene PixCut S1 about a month ago and was able to easily use it to create a bunch of great stickers.
When I went in to create a few more stickers today, I was told there was an update.  So, I updated.

Biggest mistake ever! 

The new version of this app is complete garbage.  Hard to use.  Window is tiny, like a phone app.  The printer won’t connect to the app. And when I try to connect the printer to the app, the App crashes.

This latest update is the biggest disappointment and renders the $300 sticker printer I purchased unusable.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS APP AND PRODUCT!

### 1/5 — Highly Flaky

*2026-06-07, version 2.5.216*

I use the app on my iPhone for the Pearl N200, and it glitches every single time. When I open it, it’s a black screen. Then I close it and reopen it, and it usually works, but I’ve discovered that I have to select one photo to print then start all over. It will not print a succession of photos. 
Then I got the PixCut. The app iPad will not connect to the printer. My settings show it’s connected, but the app states I’m offline and cannot locate any devices nearby. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled. I’ve followed every recommended tip I found online. It will not connect.

### 1/5 — Help

*2026-06-01, version 2.5.216*

Only worked once

### 1/5 — Doesn’t print correctly

*2026-05-24, version 2.5.216*

Doesn’t print centred / cropped correctly at all. Would not recommend at all

### 1/5 — It’s horrible

*2026-05-24, version 2.5.216*

Review of the Liene Photo App — the printer itself is excellent, but the app is incredibly disappointing. If I had known this was the only option for printing, I honestly would have reconsidered buying it.

The app offers only a handful of collage templates, and that’s where the creative options basically end. You can’t rotate photos, properly resize them to fit, rotate the collage layout, or create your own custom collage. It feels poorly designed and lacks many of the basic features you’d expect from a photo editing app.

The printer deserves much better software because the app is frustrating to use and far too limited.

### 5/5 — love it！

*2026-08-14, version 2.5.728*

perfect！

### 5/5 — Liene printer

*2026-07-21, version 2.5.610*

Great for keeping memories and easy to use, instructions in box but if confused use YouTube

### 5/5 — Such a Fun Toy

*2026-07-01, version 2.5.610*

I can’t believe I went this long without this awesome printer. I’ve been wanting to print my own stickers to match my journals for so long. But using multiple tools is overwhelming. THIS makes it SUPER EASY! Sometimes “All in one” products don’t turn out so well, but this is one purchase you won’t regret. The only con I can think of is that I’d love to see a bigger size. But who knows, maybe one day! If you’ve been looking for something user friendly and affordable, Go ahead and do yourself a favor, GRAB THIS PRINTER NOW!!!!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-06-29, version 2.5.504*

I love this app and the liene printer. It works so well and is so easy to use

### 5/5 — Powerful & Easy app for the everybody!

*2026-06-28, version 2.5.504*

I love this app! It works on every device Ive downloaded it too. Its streamed lined so it doesn’t take long to learn. Unlike software I use with my larger craft cutting machine. I can work on projects and print from iphone, ipad, or macbook with zero issues. Live love love it!

### 5/5 — Great Printer!

*2026-06-28, version 2.5.504*

I’ve had my printer over a year, I’ve used it for items sold in a local farm store, used to label items in my home and have used it to make amazing, unique wedding favors. Easy to use and great finished product.

### 5/5 — Super easy to use

*2026-06-25, version 2.5.504*

I've been using the Liene S1 for over a year and the app is not just easy, it has gotten better and better! Both uploading my own designs and designing with their in app tools is consistently a seamless process.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-06-25, version 2.5.504*

Great app and awesome design

### 5/5 — Easy to Use & Great Quality

*2026-06-25, version 2.5.504*

I’ve been really impressed with this app. It’s easy to use, connects quickly, and the print quality has been excellent. I’ve used it for labels, stickers, and product packaging, and it’s made creating professional-looking designs simple. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — The best photo printer!

*2026-06-13, version 2.5.314*

The best! The quality of the machine is amazing! But also the stickers! It’s easy to use, durable, and I have had no problems. This is the best investment you can buy for yourself, your business are just simply for your family to enjoy.
