I had a few teething problems with this....but on the whole, this little printer is great for my journalling purposes. The instructions aren't great, and I had to jiggle about with the little packs of photo paper before it would work...after the blue card emerges, you need to resend the image to printer. It appears I need to do this each time I start a new 10 pack of card as I seem to get a 'paper mismatch' warning each time. I charged the printer for a couple of hours then unplugged from mains supply, the image was sent to printer, but cut out after starting to print. After a bit more trial and error, I printed the photo successfully whilst keeping the printer attached to a mains supply....now works fine. A little disappointed this means I cannot print when not attached to supply, but I can cope with this....the whole process takes about 60 seconds. I have found, as others have said, that there is often a bluish tinge to the print, and it does seem to streak for first one or two photos in pack. I have found that I get a much better image when there is more detail in my photos. All in all, this is a great little gadget for printing out a small, credit card size image for sticking in a journal or scrapbook. I am printing out instant photos just like I used to do with the Polaroid cameras of the 70's, but now in miniature - great fun!Read full review

Just before I got this it seems that the people at C&A Marketing, Inc. (who produce this product under the Polaroid name) broke the app for the iPhone. This means the actual product probably works just fine but I can't use it as there's no alternative but to use the app. I have not printed one picture so far. I have opened a ticket with the very professional support team at C&A and they acknowledge that they are aware of the problem "Our developers are currently looking into this matter and are working towards a solution." That was a month ago now. Check out the itunes app reviews for similar stories. This could be fixed with an app update anytime... I'm still waiting.

I absolutely love this little gadget! It is perfect for quick prints. It has decent photo quality. *just an fyi anyone who does get this printer please keep the blue barcoded paper* because you can buy cheaper printing papers (works out 20p a peice) and use them with the printer making it even more worth it. This printer is good for people who like writing in diaries and scrapbooking who want to add quick pictures. Great for small family pics to keep on you. Basically its a quick and easy way to print pictures off your phone. You can edit them in the app that is with this printer. I was brought up with a desktop pc system with printer scanner and other gadgets. Since all of the smart phone technology has come out no one in my home has gone near a desktop system (stick to laptops at most) Printers dont get used at all. So i thought this was a really cool little gadget. I shouldnt compare it to professional pictures because the quality obviously wont be as crisp.. and shouldnt compare it to a printer as it only prints one size. Basically i dont really need it and havent used it much but i still recommend everyone to get it, its just such a cool device, small and compact, easy pictures that u can stick to things aswell!! (The printing paper has sticky backs) When i say i dont need its in the sense that i dont develop pictures generally i just store them online. Basically people go to the shops to get pictures developed from their phones. With this you can do it instantly at home and even edit pictures and stuff. The only thing is it wont be as perfect of an image and the image will come out the size of a credit card. Final verdict i dont need it and i love it and i think u should all buy it. Its just really cool and worth the £75 in my opinionRead full review

Very simple to set up and use, but the documentation is poor. The pop up help comments I got after updating the phone app are much better than the paper guide. The prints are clean and sharp, but trial and error will teach you the best print options for your project. Don't use old zink sheets, stick to the premium. Old pogo zink sheets discolour faster and sometimes jam in the unit. I get about 12 prints from a full charge, but you can use a power pack/emergency phone backup battery to power it and that extends the time that you can use it away from home. I have a solar panel charger which works with it, but it does take a very long time to fully charge, even in bright daylight. There are some great video demos on youtube!

Amazing little printer. Perfect for wallet/purse size photographs. I’m so in love with it already.
