Greater than one weekThis is a pretty cool little printer, that give kids even more stickers to put on everything in the house, but I was a little disappointed it didnt come with a full roll of paper. The one I got says sample, and I had to go back and buy paper. Not a big deal, since I would have bought more paper in the future anyways, but I wasnt expecting to buy some right away.

> 3 dayPhomemo Pocket Printer - M02 Mini Bluetooth Wireless Sticker Printer, Compatible with iOS & Android, Thermal Sticker Maker for Fun, memo, to-do List, Work Notes, DIY Journal,Black Visit the Memoqueen Store I have several other printers of similar size and I am constantly on the lookout for one that prints more clearly and quite possibly just like the quality of the photo shown in the description. This one works well, the app is easy to use, but the quality is not picture quality. It works well for labels that are basic but some still comes out pixelated. Super portable just wish the resolution was better on this. I have found that these smaller printers are struggling with getting the technology to where it should be so this is a problem all the way around.

> 3 dayGood little printer for popping out larger labels (I also have a strip label maker for name tags, etc). These are great for decorations or labels that need more information than just a name. There are a couple of faded areas when you print - nothing egregious, but its not a perfect heat transfer. The included sticker paper is a bit strong - it will leave residue on whatever you attach it to if youre not very careful removing it. Photos are not great - the pictures in the product description are just photoshops. They are pretty grainy and I cant imagine theyd be good for much. 1 star off for misleading about photo quality, and 1 star off for using a micro USB port for charging instead of USB C in 2023.

MomsOpinion&Reviews
Greater than one weekPlease note: This review is a long, detailed review of the app features that come along with the printer. The app is the brain to the printer, so if its lacking in features, functionality, and capability, then you basically have an electronic paperweight. ** For a TL;DR, please go to the bottom of the page. I have provided a summary of the printer and the app there. ** (Did you know... Phomemo = Photo + Memo? Theres a good reason they named it that...) Ive been wanting a pocket printer for so long and when this came along, I had to get it. Its about the size of a deck of cards and because its a thermal printer, it prints in black and white. I was able to get it to connect to Bluetooth easily without any issues of it disconnecting or anything. The Phomemo store offers many different styles and colors for their printer paper, but the printer does come with refill rolls to get you started. The ones that come with the printer are sticker rolls, so when you remove the back covering, it has an adhesive so it can be placed anywhere. The rolls are easy to install, too. (Note: If you choose to purchase a different brand of thermal paper to use with this printer, make sure its as close to the width of the Phomemo paper as possible. You can cut a small portion of the sides off the roll, then take an empty inner tube that the Phomemo paper is attached to and roll the new paper up on that. It will fit easily inside the printer and work wonderfully. Make sure its thermal paper, though, otherwise it wont work.) A lot of BT thermal pocket printers have an app that leaves a lot to be desired. Not this one. Theres so much packed into this app that everyone in the family has been able to use it for many different projects and ideas. I was immediately impressed with the endless possibilities this has to offer. Home Tab Options: - Notes: You can create notes easily using this function. Youre able to type in the notes yourself or you can copy and paste it in. Then it prints out a sheet that is as long as the notes are. This is perfect for school, work, journaling, scrapbooking, etc. The possibilities for this option are endless. - Print Images: There is a photo editing tool that allows you to edit a single picture from your camera roll before printing. The other option is Collage. This allows you to edit multiple pictures and stitch them together before printing. Both options work great and offer a lot of tools within them to do many different things. - Templates: There are SO MANY templates to choose from. At the top, you have different subjects such as * to do list * Frames * Schedule (offers class schedules, daily/weekly/monthly schedules, and a blank schedule with a cute clipart bear) * Business card (design a business card) * Fun (Different animals, objects, and food that have a blank space within them to be able to add to it once printed) * Document Print: Print out any document that has been saved to your phone (can print PDF, Word, and text files) * Print Web: Choose from Pinterest, Google, Wiki, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Twitter, or Quora to go to the site and choose something to print. There is also a Plus symbol where you can add your fav website. All you do is enter in the website link and name, then click confirm. Youll be able to access that webpage/website from here. * Micro Print: This is just like the notes option, except it will print it out in a smaller text form. * Toolbox: This is one of my favorites! Youre able to print out a banner (in any size, as long as you have the paper roll for it) and theres an option to print out a 6 ruler. The cool thing about the ruler option is that you arent stuck with just 0 - 6. You are able to choose which 6 youd like to print, such as 8 - 14, etc. * OCR: This option opens up your camera with a grid on screen. Take a picture of any text and it will add the text to a blank template. Theres two options at the bottom of the screen where you can select proofreading and it will proofread what youve chosen to write down (or scan into the document), or you can select the + symbol to add it to Notes. (OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition) * Scan: This allows you to scan any image or text you want to print. Example: I can scan the remote to my TV and it will scan it into the app and provide an image (black and white, of course) for me to print.) Before you print, youre able to customize the size, placement, etc. * Early Education: In this function, you can choose from 2 options which prints out flash cards and different coloring pages, worksheet pages, etc. The options are: > English Enlightenment Materials (offers different practice pages such as connect the dots/numbers to form shapes, Halloween mazes, Where are They? which has different options for choosing parts of the body/organs, Halloween drawing pictures, Find letters in circles, Capital letter coloring pages, and more. This is a really cool tool to have if you have children) > English Language Learning (this offers Letter Learning, Word Picture Cards with animals, food and nature, each with different options within those to choose from, and Know Numbers which gives you different number cards to pick from. Ive used these with my kids for homeschool and they found it to be a fun way to change things up. They can draw on them, and then we put them in their school portfolio or their personal Grade (X) Memory Book. * Lastly, there is the Printer Operation Guide on this screen as well. Under the Graphics Tab, you have different folders to choose from. From those folders, you have MORE folders to choose from. Newest - * New Year * 2022 Christmas (updated each year to represent the current Christmas year. Example, during Christmas 2023, this will be updated to reflect the current year) * Japanese * Cool Summer * Postcard * Ocean Comic - * Romantic * Stamp * Food * Tourism * Palace * Autumn & Winter * Small Objects * Japanese Style * Insect * Graduation Season * Plant * Phomemo * Pattern * Sushi * Bath Supplies Festival: * New Year * Spring Festival * Valentines Day * Cherry Blossom Season * St. Patricks Day * Easter * Magic * Halloween * Thanksgiving Day * Christmas Basics - * Frame (different frame options) * Trend (whats currently trending among the Phomemo community) * Form (different kind of forms) * Gesture * Tool (alarm clock, different graphs, compass, etc.) * Lace (different banners and borders) 2023 Calendar - * A folder for every month which offers different styles of calendars from daily to weekly to monthly Magic Garden - * Flowers * Insects * Circus Character - Each folder is numbered from 1 - 6 Wordart - * Summer Day * Text Epidemic Prevention - This folder has several pictures and phrases 2022 Calendar - same as 2023 calendar folder, but for 2022 2021 Calendar - same a 2023 calendar folder, but for 2021 The next tab is Mall. This tab allows you to shop for various Phomemo products right from the app itself. Lastly, theres the Profile tab. Theres more information here, too. - Usage: Tells you how long youve been using the app - Use Tutorial: How to use the different functions within the app. Its also extensive and easy to follow with video and text descriptions. - Product Manual: A quick start guide and how to use the printer itself such as loading the paper, troubleshooting, etc. - FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions. There are 11 different FAQs listed, each of them going into detail on how to resolve - Support: Gives you all of the ways you can contact the support team (by email, WhatsApp, and Skype) - Live Chat: Offers a live chat agent to help you with anything and everything you need with the printer or different things related to the app. - Settings: Change the language setting, read the Privacy Policy, and Clear Cache are found here. - Community: This is one has its own section Join the Phomemo Community with links to Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. There is a decent sized community built up around Phomemo and when you join the FB group, follow on IG, and check out YT, youll be able to find all kinds of inspiration, ideas, and more. Their YT channel has a ton of information about the different products, how they work, how to do certain things, unboxing, etc. Its an interesting channel that offers a ton to the community. Overall, I absolutely love what Phomemo has to offer. They stand by their brand and have excellent, quality customer service. The printer works absolutely wonderfully, and the app makes it completely worthwhile. You can do so much with this that the possibilities really are endless. TL;DR: With Phomemo, you get an easy to use, amazing app thats full of features to go with their products. This printer has done everything its supposed to do and more. It stays connected through Bluetooth, doesnt disconnect without my doing so, and its easy to install the paper rolls. Phomemo offers a TON of different thermal paper in many styles and types. With this printer, you receive 3 extra rolls. Its EASILY giftable, as long as the recipient has a device capable of downloading the app. I love this printer so much that Ive bought several more rolls in different styles, and I plan to buy more of Phomemo products, too. One thing to note: You CAN buy thermal paper rolls that are NOT of Phomemo brand. If its not the right width, you can cut one side of the paper and roll it onto the plastic inner tube that came with the Phomemo paper.) (Did you know... Phomemo = Photo + Memo)

Greater than one weekThis printer does a few things well. Its pretty painless to set up and the app is easy to use. Since its rechargeable and uses Bluetooth you dont need to worry about cables. Once you start the printing process, its very quick to actually print out the sticker. However, if you expect images like the product picture? Youre going to be disappointed. Even the provided clip art comes out looking pixellated. Its not terrible but its also not what I was hoping for, so my original plan to use it to make quick lo-res picture stickers wasnt go to pan out. What it is good for is labels. Im guessing its particularly great for shipping labels but Ive been using it to label storage bins. Its nice because I can carry the printer around with me easily and design the label from my phone and then - bam! - its printed and ready. Cant get much more convenient than that!

> 3 dayIf you really want to print some stickers I highly recommend just buying some large sticker paper and sending it for your normal printer. This thing prints in pretty low quality. I have credit card machines that print higher quality receipts than this thing prints. The app seems to be pretty decent you have to put it on your phone connect to the printer with Bluetooth and thats how you print stuff. It does have the ability to print small text or large text which is kind of nice. It looks like it might even use the same receipt paper that my credit card machine is use so I can try that later on.

> 3 dayYou could use this to print line art graphics on thermal self-adhesive paper to make stickers, and you would probably end up with something that you are proud of. Try to use it to print photos of your family and you will probably be unsatisfied with the results. This printer does not produce perfect prints, but sometimes that is ok, as in the case of the line art graphics. Overall, I would say this printer does a fine job just as long as you are aware of its limitations. 4 stars.

> 3 dayThis is a cute little device, and its pretty sweet to be able to print out my own itty-bitty stickers. However, you should know that it only prints in black and white, and not at a great resolution (surely you werent expecting great resolution out of a tiny sticker, though, right?) Also, it only comes with a small sample of sticker paper, so you may want to go ahead and order some if youre going to get this. Finally, a helpful tip: if it seems like your picture just wont print, use the app to set the weight to medium instead of light and see if that doesnt help.

> 3 dayI had high hopes for this little thermal printer, based on the images shown in the description, but unfortunately it fell short. The description shows clear, crisp pictures, supposedly printed from the printer. I figured it couldn’t be that good, but I had hoped for better than I got. The pictures come out grainy and pixelated, not just on photographs, but on clip art and labels as well. This printer really is good for labels, receipts, QR codes, and simple things like that. If you want anything more, you’re not going to get it. Now there is nothing wrong with that, and this printer definitely excels in that regard, but more realistic pictures in the description would have tempered any expectations beyond simple printing. There is a lot of good stuff with this printer. It’s small and wireless, charges quickly, loads paper easily, and works very fast. Once you have the printer charged, all you have to do is download the app, connect via Bluetooth, and select a picture to print. I printed using several devices and each time I was able to connect and print immediately. Each time, my initial setup to first print took less than five minutes. And this printer is fast! The print comes out almost immediately after hitting the print button, probably about five seconds. The app is easy to use and took me no time at all to figure out. And that is good because this printer comes with barely any instructions. So overall, it is important to remember that this product will not match the images shown in the product description. It had me expecting more than I received. But, if you are looking for a lightning fast thermal printer to print labels and simple images, this little printer is really great. I would definitely recommend it for that type of use.

> 3 dayI thought this mini printer printed in color (I might just not understand how to set it correctly), but the picture I printed was very grainy and was in black and white. It might also do this because the paper it comes with is sticker paper. There are lots of options to print documents on the little printer with the app, but its so small I cant figure out what this printer would be good for. I thought maybe it would be good for scrap booking, but since it comes out in black and white, Im not sure I will be able to use. The app does come with come lots of images and templates that look like clip art, so that might be an option. It might be good to write memos in lunches or reminders, perhaps in kids lunches, but at this time I dont envision myself using it.
