It didn’t. Otherwise, it is a nice app and a pretty decent printer. ### 3/5 — No Server connection *2026-06-06, version 1.1.36* Unable to print anymore. Only printed two documents in 1 day. Next day App not working, no more file uploading, App was just in continuous refreshing mode in document tab/upload file section with nothing uploading or happening. PLEASE HELP. I really was impressed on how easy and great this product was when it was working properly. I will revise my rating if App or developer fixes issue ### 2/5 — Resuelvan Los problemas *2026-02-24, version 1.1.36* Tengo un problema que mi app nunca cambia de mm a pulgadas🙁 ### 2/5 — Not Intuitive but works *2026-02-19, version 1.1.36* It works, but if you want to do anything other than just print straight tax, it gets pretty awful to figure out. There are no instructions or help files. Tried to print vertical text and I did it, but have no idea how I got there; I have to fuss around with it every time. Be prepared for a LOT of poking around before you get what you want. ### 4/5 — Not Intuitive *2025-11-20, version 1.1.34* This not an easy app to use but it does work. The main thing to understand is that some “fiddling around” is required. What you want to print has to be in the SharpFox folder within Files. You can also print screenshots, photos, files that are in DropBox, etc. The installation was very simple. The Bluetooth connection is made through the app, not Settings. One thing that is irritating is that the connection times out pretty quickly. But all in all, I’m satisfied. ### 4/5 — Add inches measurement please *2025-08-09, version 1.1.33* App is good it has good functions, but it needs inches in the image sizing it’d be helpful for lots of people using the app. ### 1/5 — NO WORK IN 16 PRO MAX *2025-03-29, version 1.1.30* Before had a 12 pro max and work perfect. Now change 16 pro max and NO work ### 3/5 — Was working now not accessing photos *2025-03-24, version 1.1.29* I was using this program it was working. I used screenshots of art to put them on the app in templates It did show all my photos now it shows only a few. I’ve uninstalled the program reinstalled it went into settings and allowed full access but the app still will not access the photos I need to access. The support is all in another language. What can I do to fix this and be able to see the photos I need to be able to print them? This is being used to create tattoo stencils. It ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-03-24, version 1.1.29* App isn’t even working correctly anymore ### 1/5 — No connection - *2025-03-17, version 1.1.28* This printer will not connect to my iPhone . I went and received a new iPhone 3 days ago and the printer will not connect to my new iPhone . I regret this purchase. ### 1/5 — Junk *2025-02-24, version 1.1.28* the app only stays connected to device for printing one page, then disconnects, it’s junk. don’t bother downloading ### 2/5 — Issue *2025-02-24, version 1.1.28* I can’t check the agreement and sign in block. Your app will not scroll up so I can access them. ### 1/5 — PRIVACY BREACH AND BOTNEY ACTIVITY *2025-02-17, version 1.1.27* Their so called blue tooth chips, in their thermal printers, are also enabled with WiFi signal that they use for an entry point for botnet activity to steal data and corrupt your devices. Be warned STAY AWAY ### 2/5 — Separate App, Why? *2025-02-08, version 1.1.27* This printer is a thermal printer. The fact that you need to have a separate app in order to print with a Bluetooth printer is beyond bizarre. Then when you do print something, I have to delete the app & reinstall in order for it to show up in my files or it’ll just show the last document I printed instead of the new document that I’ve downloaded. Very bizarre. ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE APP *2025-01-21, version 1.1.26* HORIBLE APP FREEZES OUT OF NOWHERE ### 4/5 — Was working great but just suddenly starting to have issues *2025-01-12, version 1.1.25* Everything is in a foreign language so I can’t communicate because I wouldn’t know where to start suddenly when I go to print something out it will let me print it out one page then it will go to phone home screen on my phone then I have to go back in hit like number two of three then home screening again then number 3 of 3 and turn off the next one it just suddenly started doing that ### 4/5 — What is the driver for . *2024-11-10, version 1.1.19* Both devices are on but will not recognize iPhone ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fix it where you can put it in to inches . *2026-06-15, version 1.1.36* Why have a tattoo printer app that you can’t even change in to itches , it says there is a option but it won’t change no matter what you use and the thing that sucks is this is the only app the printer will use so basically I’m suck with trying to tattoo with mm instead of ich ### 1/5 — Unable to login and shouldn’t have to *2026-06-06, version 1.1.36* I’m just trying to print with a printer I payed for and it ask to login every time for no reason. This last time the icon just sits and spins and doesn’t login. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Not working when I need it most *2026-06-06, version 1.1.36* Worked ok most the time but when I needed it most stopped working and been trying to get to work for an hour ### 1/5 — this app is horrible *2026-06-05, version 1.1.36* the app has too many bugs and is slow. the printer is great quality but i wish that they would take time and improve the app to match the hardware. Its truly wasted potential and is extremely disappointing ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE APP *2025-10-07, version 1.1.34* I hate I spent money on a printer that it’s attached to this app. Waste of money, time and anything else valuable. Sporadic at best. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-09-22, version 1.1.34* It is extremely frustrating using this app. It will only print one page at a time. After printing the first page it just spins and pulls blank pages through the printer. ### 1/5 — Not a good app *2025-07-03, version 1.1.32* This app needs a lot more updates, I can’t change from metric to inches. You can’t size images from sides just diagonally. Needs a lot of work! ### 1/5 — Worthless piece of scrap *2025-07-01, version 1.1.32* Worked fine then stopped, not even a year old. All customer support is in Chinese. Ugggh! ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2025-04-07, version 1.1.30* I don’t want to create an account just to use my printer. Guest mode does not work!! ### 1/5 — Only prints page 1 *2025-04-03, version 1.1.30* Only prints page 1 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Back working *2026-06-17, version 1.1.36* Perfect ### 5/5 — Not sure why bad reviews? *2025-07-05, version 1.1.32* Super easy instructions and had it set up and printing in less than 1 minute. Everyone else is just dumb or something? Works great ### 5/5 — Me encantó el resultado de la impresora…. *2024-11-21, version 1.1.20* Apenas se escucha mientras imprime. Da detalles en cuanto al trazo. En fin les recomiendo este dispositivo… buena relación entre calidad precio ### 5/5 — Seamless when using with eBay and Pirateship *2024-10-14, version 1.1.18* Works great with 4x6 labels using eBay and Pirateship. When label is generated hit save and the app pops up in the option menu to save to, than hit print and you’re good to go. ### 5/5 — Simple *2024-09-13, version 1.1.16* If you need something simple this is it. Took me 2 minutes to set up and start printing. The paper is thin and curls like a receipt but if you're just printing to sign docs then to scan and send digitally this is definitely a perfect device. ### 5/5 — Other reviews worried me but it works fine *2024-08-06, version 1.1.16* Got the printer to print directly from my iPhone and save money with thermal paper. Honestly it took 30 seconds after opening the box to print a PDF with the app. Very impressed. Maybe it doesn’t work for all use cases but for my needs it’s perfect. ### 5/5 — Excellent product *2024-07-19, version 1.1.15* Since I have my portable printer, I have not run into any problems whatsoever. I enjoy the fact that I could take it just about anywhere and print out any documents that’s needed. This is truly the best investment I have made in a long time. ### 5/5 — Works good but confusing directions *2024-05-04, version 1.1.10* So for those who are having difficulty with the importing of files to print, here’s the easiest way I can explain it. First, I’m assuming you were able to download the app, connect the printer via Bluetooth, and installed the included driver from the USB drive or the website. I’m using an IPhone 14 just for reference. 1) select the document you want to import and save it to your files folder. 2) go into the files folder and select the document 3) choose the SharpFox app to open the document (this is what will actually import the file in order to print) 4) the file will be listed in the file list on the app and now you can select the file to begin printing 5) select the different options that you would like to apply for your print job (quality, orientation, etc.) 6) finally select print document to start the printing process I understand the instructions that came with the printer are horrendous but once you figure out the process, the printer works as intended. I’m very happy that I’m going to have printer capabilities on the road. It’s going to save me a lot of time and energy to print documents on the fly instead of having to track down a location to print from. I hope these directions are somewhat helpful in getting your printer up and running. ### 5/5 — Printer is exactly what I need *2024-04-24, version 1.1.10* Once you learn how to share the document with the printer printed ### 5/5 — Font size *2024-04-10, version 1.1.10* Is there a way to change the font size? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
