Works well and easy to use
I'm making labels for radio components and leads and this works very well for me. Easy to use application and getting going was simplicity itself.

Make sure it can do what you want.
I'm a crafter so have lots of things often needing labels & small ones at that, so I was happy to test out this little printer & see whether it fared any better than using my desktop PC for the job.The printer comes nicely packaged in a solid box inside which it's held in a moulded plastic container and protected in a little plastic bag. Alongside that you also get a very short USB charging cable but most now will have spare leads available to use instead, and a 5 language, decent pictorial instruction booklet. Nice enough to gift if you're wondering. Setup isn't too difficult, but frustrating for me that it's only App controlled although I appreciate that lends into its portability. It just meant me having to clear some apps off my phone first to get it loaded on. Once done, DO follow the instructions to have a quicker and easier experience than I had by not doing that. You open the top to find the roll of labels inside - in my usual (don't read the manual) haste to try the printer out, I just pulled out the first label as I presumed it should look and then having figured out the app side a bit, set about printing to only find blank labels being spat out. Took me 10 mins of wasting time and energy wondering why, & about to give up, when I finally looked at the instructions to discover I had put the roll in upside down. Once I turned it over, away we went perfectly. Lesson learnt!SO, what I did discover was one huge advantage over an inkjet printer, aside from the obvious, is that this little one can tell whether or not it has a label to print on, rather than just the backing paper (as I've done too many times on my inkjet!). I'd pulled off a label accidentally at the start & had just left it off, and when the printer discovered the blank space, it automatically moved on to the next label & printed there. So that's a great bonus and ink saver to start with.The bigger frustration was in wasting a few labels before I realised that it only prints black ink, and all the dozens of coloured items you'll find in the App are of no value whatsoever unless you can track down the corresponding label pack purchased separately. All that adds up to a lot more expense when you're talking about a current price of £18 per pack plus all the links in the description here for coloured labels, all just lead to white ones, so that might be all you can ever get despite the multitude of suggestions the company provide about them. So if you think you're more wanting to do colour labels, I'd suggest you find those first before you buy the printer.I'm thus unsure overall about value for money in respect of consumables, but certainly as a portable label printer, it does what it says.

Very easy to use
This is a nice compact little device. It only has one button, to turn it on and off, because all the work is done in a smartphone app. I am used to using a machine at work for labelling cables where you have to type everything on a keyboard on the printer. This is much easier, and gives a lot more options for typeface, type size and so on.I was so keen to try it out that I dived straight in without reading the instructions completely. There was a bit of a false start when I realised that you do need to take the supplied blank tape out and re-insert it properly - which I would have known if I had read the book. I downloaded the app and created a label with no problem, and without registering the app first. I found it very easy to work out what to do.About the app. There is a QR code in the book to download direct from the manufacturers' website. If you do that you will probably get a scary message about an unsafe source. This is does not mean that your phone found anything wrong with the site or app, just that it is not getting it from the official app store. For greater peace of mind, and no disconcerting messages, you can get it from the app store.Later on I did try registering an account on the app and that is very frustrating - good job it is easy enough to print labels without registering an account! First off, the registration requires your phone number and defaults to Chinese country code. When you go to do that you scroll all the way down to the U's but find that UK is not there. OK. So maybe it is Great Britain instead. Scroll up to the G's and it isn't there. It turns out that you need to look in the E's for England for the +44 country code, which must be irritating for anybody in Wales, Scotland or NI.Once you have the right area code and phone number in, you click on a button generate a code which is sent by SMS, but you then get 60 seconds to put the code in and it was taking longer than that for the code to get sent. The text message with the code says that it is valid for 5 minutes, but the registration needs it in 1. I lost patience with it and have not created an account yet. I probably will, but at the moment I am quite happy creating labels without an account.I found extra rolls of blank labels on Amazon and if I am reading it properly it works out at about 3.5p per label for the plain white ones, which seems reasonable. There are also options for coloured labels, transparent labels and specialised labels to wrap around cables. I don't expect to be using this too often after the initial flurry of doing labels for my spice bottles, garden plants and maybe power plugs so it might be a while before I need to get more consumables. My only worry is that they are still available when that time comes.The printing itself is very quiet, very quick and very clear. Printing is only in black.As long as blank labels are available, this is a really neat little device, even with the glitches on registration for the app.
