    The Wallet I Matter.
  2. ★☆☆☆☆ chaoticforge · 5 Oct 2026 · v1.16.3
    This app can't even search and find a printer on your network. You have to enter the IP address. Who offhandedly knows their printer IP address? Useless
  3. ★★★★★ Melissa Greco · 4 Oct 2026 · v1.16.3
    Nice
  4. ★☆☆☆☆ Fierles · 3 Oct 2026
    Utterly useless. it offers only two more options instead of the full range I'd expect (e.g. I cannot select the paper source to use or manual two sided printing)

    Between brother and Microsoft You might as well consider them a lost cause. I've only been in the high-te ch computer industry since 1963 so I'm the most idiotic there is when it comes to idiots. I can always change my review. But not at this moment. they never call you back they never send an email back

    it is categorically utterly useless for a printer app to tell me "this printer is unavailable right now" with no further explaination.

    Printing from mobile is frustrating. Half the time it never prints, just did there in progress and when I look at the printer it shows nothing.
