### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2026-08-18, version 4.1.3*

If I could give zero stars I would HP is absolutely shocking printer won’t print anything when the paper tray is full and still says there is a problem the ink is full but won’t print anything even payed the subscription fee and won’t do a thing

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-08-18, version 4.1.3*

Potentially the worst app ever

### 1/5 — HP Instant INK ADVERT

*2026-08-18, version 4.1.3*

They show you an HP instant ink advertisement that they make notoriously hard to get rid of so you’re stuck into purchasing their subscription to get ink whenever you want.

The issue is, I just wanted to connect my printer because trying to get your printer to work with all of the purple and rainbow flashing light is an exercise and insanity.

I wish that Apple would just make a printer and just call it the EZ printer and then HP would go out of business!

### 1/5 — Ads are EXCESSIVE

*2026-08-18, version 4.1.3*

Ads pop up so much it’s hard to even use the app. It is a terrible app all around. I don’t remember it being this bad in the past but if I could rate 0 stars I would

### 1/5 — HP has become a SCAM!!!

### 1/5 — Printing

*2026-08-15, version 4.1.3*

Why should I have to pay to print? Service stinks.

### 1/5 — Can’t do anything until you add in a credit card

*2026-08-14, version 4.1.3*

Can’t use this app at all until you put in a credit card for this completely free service with the devs hoping you forget you linked your card so they can charge your card after a certain period of time

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-08-22, version 4.1.3*

Scam app, tried to charge you to print and makes you watch 2 minutes of ads per page you want to print!

### 1/5 — Don’t Like

*2026-08-21, version 4.1.3*

I do not like this app. It asked me to scan the brand name on my printer and gave me the wrong name.  It also only gave me AirPrint options Trying now to locate how to cancel the 3 day trial.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2026-08-21, version 4.1.3*

I’m about five minutes from throwing this printer into the street. Nothing but issues since the first day we bought it.

### 1/5 — Worst

*2026-08-20, version 4.1.3*

Worst won’t let me cancel subscription

### 1/5 — Robbers

*2026-08-20, version 4.1.3*

Tricks into paying 1 year, which you can’t cancel before 1y, unless you contact apple via their form

### 1/5 — I will never buy an HP again

*2026-08-19, version 4.1.3*

You now charge people to use a device that we have already purchased. That’s crazy. Also my HP printer that I’ve had does not even connect to WiFi. So looks like I will be buying a new printer but not HP

### 1/5 — 99$ + tx

*2026-08-19, version 4.1.3*

I bought a HP printer and laptop and I have to pay 115$/year to use this App?! No thanks.

### 1/5 — Junk Printer and Scheme to get $

*2026-08-19, version 4.1.3*

Had this printer for a very short period of time when we experienced a power failure. Printer would not reconnect to network. We have tried everything. Then HP wants you to subscribe to the smart program for $59.99 a year to install your printer. That doesn’t work either. I’m over HP and their deceptive business practice.

### 1/5 — Well…
