Dear Customer,

We sincerely regret the negative experience and misunderstanding.

To continue offering higher quality and more varied templates, and to protect the creative rights of our design team, we have added the Exquisite Membership feature.

Membership features are identified by a diamond or crown in the upper left or right corner of the font or icon. Each app has its own unique identifier. You can choose free fonts or icons without this identifier. Our app offers many free features.

You likely used a paid feature, which is why you were prompted for a subscription before printing.

If you still have questions about how to use the free features, please contact us and let us know your printer model so we can provide you with detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to use our app free of charge.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,
Phomemo Customer Support Team

Terrible product

Terrible product:
1. the iPhone connection does not work
2. the user guide does not cover even basic information like how to charge the printer
3. the printer only works when connected to a computer via USB and then at snail's pace
4. Information on the app does not cover how to print documents, it seems to be totally focused on stickers and labels

I had the app and had done what is described in Phomemo reply. My experience was as described and I returned the product in May.

Charges never end!

Printer works well, but it is bs that you have to pay monthly/yearly for app. In addition, you then only have a certain amount of prints per month. You then have to pay for additional print count packages.

Printer is useless without a subscription

I have had my printer for over a year. Today it won’t let me print a basic label (text only) without getting a subscription.

I shouldn’t have to pay to print.

It's a shame you can't put 0 stars

It's a shame you can't put 0 stars. This is by far the most awfull and stupid printer and application for smartphone that i have ever seen, the devs and engineers who created those software must have brain issue, i dont even understand how the person in charge said ok this is fine lets launch the app and the chain of production, those people must be seriously stupid, absolute dog shit software and products

Wrong Order

I have not had a chance to use the new printer yet because Phomemo sent me the wrong labels. This has happened twice, so I don't know that I will be using this company again.

Dear customer,
We are truly terribly sorry for dispatching incorrect label rolls to you twice in a row, which has prevented you from using your new printer normally and made you lose confidence in our brand. This repeated mistake is entirely our fault.
Please provide your order number, we will immediately arrange the correct consumables to be resent to you free of charge and properly compensate you for the inconvenience caused. We will also strengthen our warehouse picking and checking process strictly to avoid repeated wrong shipments in the future.
We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to regain your trust.

Buyer Beware - Forces subscription to continue using!

After the first label - the pro app shuts down some input and edit features and will not let you print the label unless you subscribe at $7 / mo or $30 / yr. BS!!!! Amazon is doing nothing about this vendor!! This is illegal as far as I am concern and to be falls into the false advertising bucket by amazon buyers who do not know this! Funny Chat GPT did, but only after I pried it out of it and found this site. Too bad it's a great little printer and they're pulling this stunt in today's Marketplace!

Suddenly requires a subscription? To print labels?

They suddenly started requiring a subscription to use the label maker. It says you can use non "premium" label things without a subscription but when I try to print it out it just throws up stupid errors saying I need a subscription. Even though I used only free label things. Totally unfair enshittification. DO NOT BUY.

Subscription product

Bought the printer, and received it. It looked a bit smaller then what i thought but hey ho it is what it is so lets carry on ( were my thoughts). then i found out that you need to pay month or yearly to get the best out of the machine. So thats it for me. Machine has send back. I buy a bloody product so let me fully use it.
Im so sick of all this subscriptions products this days. A shame as the printer and app work great. But i just refuse to pay monthly or yearly to get my logo on a sticker while i already paid for the machine and bought extra stickers.

Printer P25 Phomemo

My printer worked just fine for a couple of mounths. Now the app is not for free anymore, so I have to pay ever year for the app. They didn't say that at the beginning. So now, I can't use the printer unless I pay extra for the app. I think it's not fair. They had to say that before I got the printer. It's dissepointing!!!

Warning: Scam

Warning, their products are complete scams, the printers just do not print even when you follow all their vague instructions on the app and the live chat is completely worthless if it was gifted to you. I don't know if I just recieved a broken one but none of the paper works and I've tried printing with all sorts of images and it just gets wasted. Do not spend any money on these products unless you want it to go to waste.

Beware! Don't be fooled by this Brand

Bought the Phomemo M110 Portable Thermal Label Maker and I feel totally scammed.
You can hardly use any templates or create/print in a normal straightforward manner, without signing up for a costly monthly or annual subscription.
It isn't mentioned anywhere in the information that this is the case. This is misleading and dishonest.

Never again will I purchase something from the Phomemo brand.

I bought the tattoo stencil printer

I bought the tattoo stencil printer. Load of shite. Never ever even one decent stencil..you have to literally wrestle the bastard thing. I've wasted 4 entire packs of stencil paper which has wasted me a fortune. Avoid this product at all costs. Or alternatively you can have mine. It's shit.

Printer M08f

Printer M08f - it is portable, heavy though. And it is infuriating to use. App is cumbersome, documents need to be uploaded to print, often it is impossible. When it does work, it prints only one page, then you have to cancel print job and start over. Wastes a lot of expensive thermal paper. Printing from a macbook air is impossible, it never works, constantly offline. This printer is absolute garbage and going into the trash.

Waste of your money!

Connecting with their 'print master' app is simple. But than..!!..
Phomemo's 'Print Master app' is realy a disaster.
The app is difficult and not user-friendly.
Finally you've made a simple label and than starts the annoyances. They force you to get a perscription for no less than € 31,- .. per year. They blocked printing, unless you get that perscription. Ridiculous! All that for a few labels per year.
We bought a M110 and several labels for approximately € 100,-.
It's almost criminal and we are very disappointed......
Don't buy it in combination with that 'Print Master app'. Waste of your money.... !

SCAM YOU HAVE TO SUBSCRIBE TO USE IT

My daughter received one of these small printers T02 as a gift, installed the app and everytime you want to print it’s takes you to a pop up page wanting a yearly subscription!!!
You have to pay a charge to use the product.
DONT BUY NOT WORTH THE MONEY AND JUST A SCAM FOR YOU TO TAKE OUT A SUBSCRIPTION.
