Current price point at the time/date of this review: $42.99 with a $5 off coupon provided by the seller. This seemed to bump up in price by nearly $6 within the span of several days to week(s) ago. Nevertheless, the price is reasonable. I own several of these types of portable thermal label printers, and one (or more) in the exact same model/specs. Overall I’m really impressed with the small size and form factor with this one. ADDITIONAL NOTES What I’m particularly fond of is the extremely light weight and portable design. The form factor is great, basically a bevelled square. Works as it should, and comes with all the common features you come to expect with these types of portable label printers. The app offers plenty of selections, and meets expectations for a label printer of this size/price available on Amazon. There are plenty of these types of printers on Amazon, but the Q30S is a distinguished model. It’s a safe buy. I also managed to find label refills on Amazon designed for the Q30 and Q30S. I got it for a little less than $20. And yes, you’ll definitely want to consider the cost of refilling the labels when considering a unit such as these. Great stuff.

This is a decent thermal label maker thats fairly versatile with respect to its ability to let you create all sorts of labels with imagination is the only limitation (well, a bit of exaggeration here). The App is available ONLY for mobile devices which is a bit disappointing and I wish its also available for PC/Mac as well just so I have the options there. For those who are curious, the mobile App (Print Master) requires the following permission on your device; --- ≡ Device & app history Retrieve running apps ≡ Location Approximate location (network-based) Precise location (GPS and network-based) ≡ Phone Read phone status and identity ≡ Photos/Media/Files Read the contents of your USB storage Modify or delete the contents of your USB storage ≡ Storage Read the contents of your USB storage Modify or delete the contents of your USB storage ≡ Camera Take pictures and videos ≡ Microphone Record audio ≡ Wi-Fi connection information View Wi-Fi connections ≡ Device ID & call information Read phone status and identity ≡ Other View network connections Pair with bluetooth devices Access bluetooth settings Control flashlight Full network access Run at startup Control vibration Prevent device from sleeping --- The label design App (Print Master) is pretty decent and would most likely allow you to design your label without issues with its free-form approach (i.e. layout is not limited to specific type of objects) and its initiative to use for the most part especially if you are experienced with label makers before. In addition, it also has a ton of pre-built labels (i.e. One-click print) for some of the most common categories such as flavoring, fruits, veggies, cleaning products, food, and medicine etc. The print quality like most others that support 203 DPI is sufficiently fine, knowing exactly what these printers (i.e. thermal based) are capable of or rather, incapable of. Its 203 DPI print head is very much the average/standard of these label nowadays. It supports labels of width from 12mm to 15mm but most optimized for 12mm and the print head has a service life of roughly 50KM worth of labels. It can be powered by either 4x AAA or USB-C; would be better though if this is powered by rechargeable Li-ion battery. All in all, this is a fairly decent mini thermal label maker and its relatively reasonably priced at $38 for what it provides, overall features, and capabilities.
