This app will always let you down ### 1/5 — Never print *2024-09-17, version 2.2.9* You’re lucky if you can log on this app, but then it doesn’t print. The worst app I’ve ever used my entire life. Terrible UX ### 1/5 — So sad *2024-09-11* This app made me so sad i actually wish i could meet the creator and cry in front of him. LIKE WHYYYY is this app being used at colleges it doesn’t work and i can’t print anything. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time. *2024-09-07* Literally doesn’t even work at all. Says it’s no longer compatible, then emails with a link to register your email in order to use it, which then doesn’t exist. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2024-05-04* You’re lucky if you even get to sign in and when you do that’ll be the first and only time you’ll be able to log in. This app has so many issues it shouldn’t even be used . We’re in 2024 it should be way more compatible and convenient. That’s the whole point of apps !!!! FIX THIS HORRIBLE APP ### 1/5 — horrible *2024-03-06, version 2.2.9* truly the most useless and aggravating app in existence ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-01-31* This is the worst app I’ve ever used in my life. Every time I open it, it freezes before I can get past the sign in page…This is my second time trying to use it and it’s still a failure after a year. ### 1/5 — F- *2024-01-30, version 2.2.9* Fails college students ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE *2024-01-19, version 2.2.9* i hope the creators of this app are fired and then fired again and then fired a third time. Worst platform ever ### 1/5 — Bad *2023-10-05, version 2.2.9* Worst app I’ve ever used. Never worked when I rlly need to print Seth ### 1/5 — Crashes when you try to open it *2023-05-17, version 2.2.9* Useless since this app crashes if you attempt to open it. ### 1/5 — Wow terrible *2023-05-17* The app didn’t even give me the chance to log in before freezing up. This happened multiple times before I gave up. Mad that my university uses this service and that I depend on the university’s printer. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2023-04-10* This app is literally terrible, I’ll end up spending 1-2hrs just to print something out because the stupid app never works. There’s always some type of server connection issues everytime I try to the use the app. Someone needs to fix this. ### 1/5 — Funds *2023-03-30, version 2.2.9* I can’t add any funds on this stupid app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2026-07-10* My university has this app set up for printing. However, all the librarians tell us don’t use it. It’s terrible. I tried it and we couldn’t even get it to connect or work. Do not use this app! If you are going to use it try to use the Web version instead. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work after a few months *2026-04-06* From the beginning is a pain to log into, then printing pdfs doesn’t work, so you have to SS every page. Then, freezes, then kicks you out. Then doesn’t start/work period. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2026-02-20, version 2.2.13* Easily the most difficult print app to use, constant disconnections, files diapering, network issues ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-02-19, version 2.2.13* Horrific app. Works 10% of the time ### 1/5 — Won’t even load *2026-01-20, version 2.2.13* I try to use my university’s printer domain, and it says it doesn’t exist. My friend used it last week. This has been happening since August. ### 1/5 — The app never open *2025-09-24, version 2.2.13* For some reason after lkke a few weeks the app won’t open and it just leave u on the opening page ### 1/5 — Wow *2025-09-10* Does not even load, I can put all my information in and then it freezes, this is one of the other ways that don’t work to print at my school!! ### 1/5 — Works Fine for a Few Months Then Has Periods of Bugginess *2025-07-02* This app is required for my school in order to print stuff. Initially, the app worked fine. However, every couple months or so, there’s a long period of the app just being unable to open. I just get kicked back into my home page. This is super unreliable and frustrating as I don’t have another option to print out homework papers or lab papers. I thought it was because maybe I didn’t update the app? Nope. It just doesn’t like to cooperate every so often. Please fix this bug and I will fix my rating. ### 1/5 — So bad *2025-06-23, version 2.2.13* Every time I have a test the app glitches and I can never print what i need. hope my school switches apps immediately!! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-05-02, version 2.2.9* this app barely works and is very buggy. it shuts down every few weeks and prevents me from logging in ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Not sure what the other reviews are talking about *2024-08-13* I was reading some of the other reviews and they talked about this app being very buggy and not working. Perhaps it’s due to recent bug fixes or updates, but this was my first time using this app and it worked fine! It did the job, printed my stuff. Nothing special, but really no issues. ### 5/5 — Pharos Printer *2021-09-15* Do it do you remember that national library or do homework and then go to library and print it off and then go to library print and library print it off at the end of the national anthem library print center print and library library website and library print print and print print off library library ### 5/5 — Useless if I cant login *2020-02-09, version 1.7* FIX. THE. APP I really don’t think it’s that hard to move the text or fix the small bug causing the keyboard to block the “Go” button on the login screen. My grandma can make an app better than this it’s pathetic ### 5/5 — Very good *2019-11-09, version 1.7* This app works fine with me. ### 4/5 — It works for me now *2023-08-05* This app had never worked for me in the past…wouldn’t load, would constantly crash. It was impossible to use. I had to try it today because I was in a rush and it worked like a charm. Great job dev team!! Glad it works now :) ### 3/5 — Loading Bugs *2025-04-01* First of all, please add a progress bar of some sort to show that ur application is loading. Also, the app does not open at times. Kindly fix these issues. ### 3/5 — Parsons gang here *2022-05-05, version 2.2.1* Come on school get us better printers ### 3/5 — Unusable for now *2019-11-14, version 1.7* The app had been working fine, but required a sign in after iOS13. The keyboard covers the login button now, so it’s unable. Impossible to sign in ### 3/5 — Good But not Great! *2018-01-26, version 1.6* I used this app and it's great. There are only a limited options and it can only take print commands from the box app. From any other app you give, it will not take. Please change this. ### 2/5 — Prints come out blurry *2019-10-02, version 1.7* I’ve sent a few handwritten documents from the notability app to the Pharos app as PDFs and they frequently print blurry. It seems to not be a printer issue, and other people that I have spoken with here at my school have had similar issues with different documents. Works great otherwise. Updating it to look more native to current versions of iOS and iPadOS would be nice too. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
