Very pleased. Perfect for organising a guest book for a wedding or other event.
I used it at a wedding to make the guest book. It was great. However, when I used it without 'pause', it became a bit slower it seems but still quite manageable.
The paper is a bit hard to peel off, better to have nails ;)Pro
- good connection
- very easy to use
- does not take up space
Contra
- paper not easy to peel off
- small paper compartment

Cool gadget, high fun factor - but definitely the wrong thing for long-term souvenir photos.
Cool gadget. Suitable for parties and other special occasions as a fun factor. However, if you want to print out your mobile phone photos for a nice souvenir photo book, you should consider a different solution.

To create a memorable "Wow" effect at a party!
In an ultra-compact device, a technology that prints good photos in a few seconds that stick on their own. Ideal for a guest book, for example. The control app is very simple and powerful, with many creative editing tools.
Pro
- Size, print quality
- no other consumables than developer paper
- Powerful application
Contra
- Really nothing...

Case to be reviewed
The build is a bit fragile, the cover can be broken easily. Printing meets expectations

Fun and colourful!
Fun, for lots of shared playful moments and instant memories if not great print quality. (Weddings, parties with friends, pictorial description of various manipulations: tools, devices.... . It's a great way to keep track of all the things you need to know and do. Easy loading, functional app!

Not the best pictures
The Printer is nice and small. The interface of the App is quiet easy to use, however the quality of the pictures is not the best...

unusable
The printouts are quite acceptable. But if the printer was not used for 3 months, the battery could no longer be charged. It was the same with the second device under warranty.
Contra
- Battery

Recommended for gamblers only.
I was totally thrilled when I bought this printer. But after about a year, the printer has gone haywire. I can print half a picture and then it turns off by itself, the picture is half and a paper is wasted. I have tried everything, but it won't work anymore.
I can't recommend this printer as I can't say in good conscience how long it will last =(Pro
- Quickly print photos
- Self-adhesive
Contra
- No longer works
- not the best quality

If you want to see white in the photo, you are wrong with this device
I compared a few photo printers and this one disappointed me. I had some teething problems until anything came out of the printer at all. The photos all had a yellow tinge and some had real lines in them. I need a printer in which you can see white. That is not the case here. If you like that, this is the printer for you. It is very small (almost the same as an iPhone 6) and light. I also didn't like the app that came with it. As I read it was better before an update. I sent mine back.
The absolute no-go for me: it doesn't print exactly what is displayed on the phone. It reduces the image in the print, i.e. if you have the image displayed on the mobile (100% of the image) it is cut off at the edge (80% of the image) in the print.This review was created for a different variant: ZIP Mobile Printer (Thermal printing, Colour)
good
overall a nice device which works fine with my iphone 7.
however the app could be better. If I try to print a picture without a border there always is a small white line visible on one side of the print. This is quite disapointingPro
- easy handling
- look
Contra
- expensive paper
- printing app for ios
Print quality not satisfactory.
The photos have a strong red cast.

not recommended.
Unfortunately, the device was a mistake. Firmware could not be updated, despite display. Connection was only possible to 1 iphone 6. A connection to another iphone 6 or to an ipad failed despite several attempts. The user software in the German version is teeming with spelling mistakes. The colours of the pictures are rather unnatural. In the beginning, unwanted white edges appeared. Correcting this took several attempts and was a waste of images. I would definitely not recommend the device. It doesn't seem to be fully developed yet. Too bad.
Pro
- Small, handy
Contra
- not matured
- User-unfriendly
- still many errors in the software

Must have
Super cool thing, I can only recommend it...
And the best thing is that the photos have an adhesive surface on the back, perfect for my wall.Pro
- Small
- Easy
- App
- Good value
Contra
- Some of the photos are a little dark
I would buy again immediately!
great product to quickly print photos on the go or at home and use them immediately. the photos are self-adhesive.
Pro
- Quick
- Simply
- Self-adhesive
- Small and compact
Contra
- Photo quality is not outstanding
Only a viable solution for quick prints on the go
Images are printed in business card format, i.e. very small. The print quality is good, provided the image file is balanced. After about 10 printouts in a row, the printer has to cool down, which takes a few minutes. The configuration is not quite intuitive. How to insert the paper correctly requires a bit of detective work... At just under Fr. 1 per printout, this is very expensive fun.
Nevertheless, for quick prints on the go, when there is no other option, a viable solution.Pro
- fast, hassle-free delivery
- Small and light
Contra
- Installation not intuitive
- expensive, tiny prints
Fun gadget - but don't expect professional printing
Cool little, light and handy "toy". The print quality could be better, it prints too dark. Otherwise it's fun.
Pro
- Size
- easy to use
- Image format I like for e.g. scrapbooking
Contra
- Print quality

Recommended for its intended use
It does exactly what it says. It connected to my Samsung S5 without any problems, the app downloads and is easy to use.Beautiful, sharp prints, shockingly simple! A bit expensive for the paper, but... it fits!
Excellent and very fast delivery (ordered in the evening, delivered in the morning).Cool gadget, nothing more, nothing less!
Cool gagdet with which you can spontaneously print pictures via Bluetooth interface at events and parties. In contrast to larger devices, the dimensions (palm of the hand), the light weight and especially the battery operation help you to really take the device with you. Due to the good but not high-end print quality and the small paper format, it is less suitable for photo freaks or for printing demanding, high-quality photos.
The price per unit of photo paper was lower than expected.Pro
- Easy handling
- Small, light
- Battery operation
Contra
- A paper dimension
Prints well, a little dark, if you know that no problem.
Unfortunately, the printer is poorly made. Not Polaroid like. The lid for the paper compartment cannot be closed. It took some tinkering and adhesive tape to close the lid.
Pro
- Good print, good print speed
Contra
- Poor workmanship of the housing!
- Too small a template (size of a passport photo)
- A little expensive.
