I hated our old-fashion gun-style label maker. It was annoying to use so ended up collecting dust until I finally threw it away. THIS ONE, however, is easy, quick, and fun to use. Was surprised it came already charged and label roll loaded. Did check the instructions and learned to hold down the button 2 seconds to turn the unit on and off. Also read what the proper alignment was printing labels. Other than those things this is easy to figure out how to use. I did double check to make sure some extra labels I bought fit this unit. No problem. Excuse my slightly crooked printed label. Pretty sure I didnt align right after checking inserting a new roll.

If you’re like me and you love labeling things then this label maker is definitely for you. It’s a sturdy and well made product. It’s so easy to use and get started. It prints beautifully. I love to open up my pantry and seeing how organized everything is because of a label. The labels adhere very nicely and remains on the item until you remove it. Love this!

I have one of the other MakeID printers, and it works flawlessly, this printer continues to lose connection with my phone, I tried my daughters phone, and had the same results. The labels are comparable to the other small portable printers sold. Just expected more from a mini full keyboard label printer.

I got this for office labeling, and also labeling my personal items in a public facility. This label maker is pretty straightforward, type what you want and hit print. The USB c charging is great, as I dont need to waste batteries, the labels themselves are pretty basic so its easy to get more. The display is bright and easy to read, my only complaint is that you have poor spacing without a border, its like theres a space bar at the start of the label, making it not centered, the bordered ones are perfectly centered however. Overall easy to use and functional label maker.

Ive been wanting a label maker/printer for some time now. I wasnt sure if I wanted one with an app or not - the keyboard on this seems to work well, and i was able to print out some labels for things in my home that desperately needed them. The LCD screen is bright and easy to read and the print quality seems to be really nice.

Summary: A nice quality printer with built in editing that is somewhat limited, but that is more than offset by having a good app for editing that works well and doesnt steal your personal information. Choice of label types seems somewhat limited. Cons: 1. The editing functionality on the printer itself is somewhat limited. For example there doesnt seem to be any kind of print preview function on the LCD itself. So it is fine for basic text but if you want fine control and graphics etc you should use the app. 2. The choices of label tape seem to be somewhat limited. For example I have seen plenty of 16mm wide tape listed on MakeID Amazon, but not any 9mm. Also other printers like Dymo have a variety of tapes that are fluorescent colors, or even white text on black. I dont see any such tapes from Makeid - just milder colored tapes such as pink and gold. Perhaps Im not looking in the right places. 3. Print resolution is only 203ppi while some cheaper models have 300ppi. Pros: 1. Although the app seems to have so-so reviews on the Apple App Store, it works surprisingly well and I cant fault it. Most importantly it doesnt need you to create an account and the app store says that it doesnt gather / access any personal information. That is a big plus for me. Having said that the privacy policy listed on the app store is only in Chinese. 2. The app has loads of layout options and really does let you do WYSIWYG editing. It can do barcodes, QR codes, graphics, scaling and has loads of fonts included (downloaded as you need). 3. The tape loads easily and without a lot of fuss. Just thread it in the print head, close the door and you are done. 4. Bluetooth connection worked right away. The app listed the printer it found and I just needed to select it. No pairing necessary. 5. I did try some 3rd party white tape for about $10/2rolls and it worked fine and had the same print quality. 6. Printer keyboard is good layout and size. Screen is large enough and LCD backlight is a nice professional touch. Feels solidly built and very good build and design. Battery life seems good. USB-C connection for recharging.

I havent figured it out in its entirety yet, but it is fairly easy to use! Nice little gadget to have so I can label my storage bins! Its very convenient and I can even put it in my purse!

very similar to the brother label maker - buttons are a little hard to push at first - then again, im sure my nails dont help
