However the last few weeks I’ve noticed my prints have been coming out incredibly blurry and it’s very frustrating. I’m not sure why the app blurs the images so much. ### 3/5 — I like it!! *2026-05-17, version 95.1.9* i really like it, it is simple to use but when i want to print a photo with light blue in it, it turns into a really dark blue instead :/ ### 4/5 — new photos not showing *2025-07-15, version 95.1.7* i’m trying to print out some photos and have been using this app for years now but no photos past 2023 are showing once i connect my phone to the device ### 2/5 — Needs an update asap. *2025-06-26, version 95.1.6* The app keeps crashing!!! ### 2/5 — removing features *2025-01-22, version 95.1.3* where has the basic white frame gone ?? thats all i used this app for and now its gone ### 3/5 — Okay but significantly clunkier than 2016-18 *2025-01-05, version 95.1.3* Where is the basic white frame? I don't really want themed frames every time. Why isn't this app made by Polaroid themselves? Like the title says, this app is a ghost of what it used to be unfortunately. But it's the only one out there. ### 2/5 — Stopped working properly *2024-12-12, version 95.1.2* I used to love my zip printer but now the app doesn’t work. When I try to navigate to my photo favorites folder it’s impossible. It just keeps kicking me out of that section and brining me to the main screen. I also can seem to get a hold of anyone for help. ### 3/5 — Nouvelle MAJ nulle *2024-10-09, version 4.8.6* On ne peut plus choisir de cadre basique, j’ai seulement des cadres pour la fête des mères, thanks giving… ### 1/5 — Photos are blurry *2024-09-20, version 4.8.4* I’ve had this zip printer for years and for some reason about a month or so the photos print blurry and save the printed photo to my phones library. It’s such an issue that I’ve debated buying a different printer Update: Asked to trouble shoot by updating and using a cleaning sheet. This has been done and there is no change. My rating remains one star since there is still a quality issue. ### 1/5 — DO NOT UPDATE *2024-09-19, version 4.8.4* The new update keeps photos in vertical mode and cuts off huge portions of pictures. ### 1/5 — Useful in making your printer useless *2024-08-18, version 4.8.2* This app has been horrible from the start. The latest version practically rendered my Zip printer useless. It finds the printer, connects, and when you send the pic to be printed it disconnects Bluetooth and shuts the printer off. ### 1/5 — Forgot my password *2024-07-09, version 4.8.2* No email is being sent despite me using the correct email address for the account. Can this be fixed as I am unable to login. ### 1/5 — Useless after some years!!!! *2024-05-05, version 4.7* May 2024: not possible to pair via Bluetooth anymore. Nothing available on the web to try to solve on our own (most recent thing is from 2019!!!) Please give some help to users who one day trusted your devices! ### 1/5 — Full Access to Photos = No Thanks *2024-03-05, version 4.7* Requires full access to my photos? Not happening. ### 1/5 — Not working… *2024-02-11, version 4.7* Firmware update still sitting at 0% after over a hour… ### 1/5 — Poor Quality, Expensive, Firmware Doesn’t Download *2024-01-30, version 4.7* I’ve had my Polaroid zip for a few years now. It used to work fine but over the past year I’ve noticed the print quality decline (photos look low res but they aren’t) and now it leaves a noticeable white edge at the top of the photo when printed. I’ve tried countless times to download the firmware but it doesn’t seem to work. I have the fastest broadband so it appears to download the update super quickly but I can’t get it to install. It keeps telling me it failed. I even deleted the app and started again but it didn’t make a difference, still failed to install. Time to invest in a different brand now. The sticker paper is expensive too. ### 1/5 — Doesnt work *2024-01-17, version 4.7* The app doesn’t work, says it needs to download tmd firmware then fails to install everytime, printer then wont do anything and it doesnt matter what i do it wont print. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No funciona *2025-12-28, version 95.1.9* No funciona ni siquiera se abre la app que pasa?? ### 1/5 — iOS26 says printer isn’t supported *2025-09-28, version 95.1.8* Please update your app ASAP ### 1/5 — No connection *2025-09-19, version 95.1.8* Will not connect to IPhone. Unstable Bluetooth connection. Not supported. ### 1/5 — Won’t work *2025-09-05, version 95.1.8* Unfortunately I can’t use the app anymore to use my Polaroid zip printer / the app says my username - email is already in use - when I submit forgotten password - it doesn’t send a link the the email - so can’t use it at all … frustrating ### 1/5 — No funciona *2025-07-23, version 95.1.8* Alternativa? Se va a solucionar? ### 1/5 — No “all photos” album anymore *2025-07-23, version 95.1.7* The newest update removed my access to all photos. Please fix this! Emailed but no reply. Update: not resolved, see other users review for better description of issue. There is no longer a way to view all photos, only created albums. I am not spending time putting photos into an album to print. Please figure out how to bring back access to all photos. ### 1/5 — 起動しない *2025-06-21, version 95.1.6* 数年ぶりに立ち上げました 起動せず ### 1/5 — Won’t pair with phone anymore *2025-04-14, version 95.1.6* I cannot get my phone to pair with this printer no matter what I try. It is useless now and money in the garbage. ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht mehr *2024-12-22, version 95.1.2* Seit ein paar Jahren bzw. seitdem die App nicht mehr von Polaroid selber ist, funktioniert nichts mehr und es kann keine Verbindung mehr zum Drucker aufgebaut werden. Alle paar Monate hole ich ihn aus dem Schrank in der Hoffnung, das es mit einem Update behoben wird, aber leider ist dem nicht so. Teurer Elektroschrott. ### 1/5 — Bad updates *2024-10-22, version 4.8.7* Had my printer for years and loved it. They changed all the frames and editing options so there less and you can’t have just a white border frame. Quality has obviously gone down substantially. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Problems sorted! *2025-07-24, version 95.1.8* A new update has fixed a big problem after the last update, that prevented the app from displaying the Recents album. A happy user once more. ### 5/5 — No access to photo’s *2025-07-18, version 95.1.7* This app used to work well. However it no longer accesses my photo’s - despite all the right permissions being granted. I have deleted it and downloaded the latest version. Still not working. I write here as the helpful “contact us anytime for support’ functions just ignores you. Hoping this will prompt some response. Shame. Otherwise I have had many years being happy with this product and the printer also. Please respond or I’ll just move on. ### 5/5 — PolaroidZIP *2025-03-14, version 95.1.4* アップデートありがとうございます。ios18.3.2で使用できました。しばらく使用できなくて諦めていたので嬉しいです。 ### 5/5 — What happened to the update? *2023-10-16, version 4.6* What’s going on? ### 5/5 — Muy buenas opciones aunque a veces se bloquea *2023-03-30, version 4.4* Muy buenas opciones aunque a veces se bloquea y me deja el iPhone ko. Por lo demás contento ### 5/5 — Mise à jour de septembre *2022-09-13, version 4.4* La dernière mise à jour du mois de septembre a bloqué l’application c’est pourquoi il y a pleins d’avis négatifs et je me suis retrouvée dans le même cas. ⚠️Actuellement l’application fonctionne à nouveau ⚠️ ### 5/5 — Endlich funktioniert es wieder *2022-09-12, version 4.4* Danke fürs Update. Endlich geht’s wieder ### 5/5 — Error *2022-09-04, version 4.2* Siempre ha funcionado fenomenal, y me encanta el producto, pero ahora no consigo que la app responda. Por favor, solucionadlo 😟!! ### 5/5 — Great!! *2022-01-30, version 3.8* I think the printing is wonderful. So clear, (for not printing it off Costco or Walgreen’s). So convenient that it’s pocket size! Absolutely wonderful, thank you. ### 5/5 — Super cute photos- and they’re stickers too!!! *2021-09-25, version 3.7* ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
