8 of 25Absolutely horrible instructions. It found printer using manual ip input. Then on third try using PS I got a test page with its icon and title in center of page, plus numbered A B C D 1-9, sort printed diagonally with each running of edge at around 3 or 0. Nothing explains what they indicate. Like if all four letters run to zero, the app will print ok or what??? Nothing, no instructions on results. I’m not going to pay for something if I can’t test that it works on a real document. Just as easy to send a document to cloud storage then print from my pc.
Useless. I can print document size photos already. Where are the square sizes? More size choices needed. No option to test print you own photo either.
I think the reviews from a year ago don’t reflect what the developers have changed since then. This Lite version of the app will NOT print your documents. It has four sample files to print. One is a 8 page Wikipedia write-up on printers, another is 2 pages of Mark Twain quotes, a photo of Mona Lisa, and some Lorem Ipsum notes. This is great to finagle if your printer can work with their app and literally nothing else. I’m glad it’ll save me $8, because this lite version enabled me to discover there is no option to utilize duplex printing on my brother printer. I give the app four stars because it performed exactly as described as a testing measure. I was disappointed to find out this program does not support duplexing. I print a LOT of resources for students and I was hoping to utilize multiple pages per printout and duplexing simultaneously to save paper.
It would be nice to be able to actually print something. I downloaded the app in the hopes of being able to see the interface and options. Can I scale, rotate etc.? Unfortunately the only thing this app does is let you know if your printer is compatible. It’s not really a trial.
I agree with other users that this does not allow you to test the Pro version before buying. If I cannot actually print a document, I cannot test my printer. Testing your connection to the printer is not the same as testing the printer. Let it print. Put a time delay, watermark on the page, or limit the page count it can print if you want to lock it down and make sure folks buy the full version if they continue to use it. But don’t say in the review of the full version to use this version to see if you like it if it does not print!
Finally almost 3.5 years later, i have the IOS and Brother Printer solution. The printer lite version let me test and set up the Big Brother Color Laser Printer so i can Use it again instead of draining the inkjet printer. I purchased the Full paid version knowing it Works after several test prints.
Ok I get it... my Brother laser printer isn’t supported. But why did you print a page with solid black color in its entirety?! My toner is crying :(
Printer pro light is just a test app, and unfortunately printer pro no longer functions with the new iOS update. (Requires the developer to update the app) I see the printer Pro is still for sale but my app that I’ve had installed for sometime now will not update!! I feel ripped off
