I absolutely love this little gadget! It is perfect for quick prints. It has decent photo quality.*just an fyi anyone who does get this printer please keep the blue barcoded paper* because you can buy cheaper printing papers (works out 20p a peice) and use them with the printer making it even more worth it.This printer is good for people who like writing in diaries and scrapbooking who want to add quick pictures.Great for small family pics to keep on you. Basically its a quick and easy way to print pictures off your phone. You can edit them in the app that is with this printer.I was brought up with a desktop pc system with printer scanner and other gadgets.

I had a few teething problems with this....but on the whole, this little printer is great for my journalling purposes. The instructions aren't great, and I had to jiggle about with the little packs of photo paper before it would work...after the blue card emerges, you need to resend the image to printer. It appears I need to do this each time I start a new 10 pack of card as I seem to get a 'paper mismatch' warning each time. I charged the printer for a couple of hours then unplugged from mains supply, the image was sent to printer, but cut out after starting to print. After a bit more trial and error, I printed the photo successfully whilst keeping the printer attached to a mains supply....now works fine.

Very simple to set up and use, but the documentation is poor. The pop up help comments I got after updating the phone app are much better than the paper guide. The prints are clean and sharp, but trial and error will teach you the best print options for your project. Don't use old zink sheets, stick to the premium. Old pogo zink sheets discolour faster and sometimes jam in the unit.I get about 12 prints from a full charge, but you can use a power pack/emergency phone backup battery to power it and that extends the time that you can use it away from home.I have a solar panel charger which works with it, but it does take a very long time to fully charge,

I remember Polaroid instant cameras when I was young, they were great, so when I found out the they had done a printer for phones I was very interested. The printer is a handy gadget for holidays I loved being able to print a great picture on the move and the paper can make a great sticker. There are things to consider, its expensive, you need a special app, the picture size a phone takes isn't compatible so you need to zoom in and sometimes the printer leaves lines on the paper. But, it's fun!

Wanted to be able to send cards with a personal touch during the C-19 lockdown. It’s great for that. Really great little gadget. Colours on prints aren’t quite what they appear on your photo library but doesn’t detract. There are plenty of filters and stickers/frames you can use in the Polaroid editing App that makes photos extra fun. The prints work out at 50p each but you can stick them straight on to your card...or whatever you want to stick them to. Great fun. Imagine kids would love it!

I bought this under duress thinking that it would be a nightmare to use (I am quite old, not brilliant with technology and have an old phone) but it is amazing. The app works really well and it is all very straightforward. I think that there is probably a lot more I could do with it and the colours are darker when printed so I have to work out how to deal with that (reason for 4 stars not 5) BUT I think it is great. Also amazingly I ordered it at 4pm and it arrived about 8.30 that night!

Very simple concept. Before buying researched reviews and other manufacturers' product - this was top so bought 3 for different recipients - retired couple, busy executive and working mother. All loved it and recommended to others who have also bought. The only glitch was software updated after the first one was bought and caused bluetooth connection to drop out. Hopefully Polaroid will sort asap. Pics cost approx. 40p and there is no ink cost. Would absolutely recommend this product.

This printer does exactly what it says on the box. Very impressed with the quality of print and the quickness. Fantastic to capture those moments and have them instantly. Who prints photos now!!! The Polaroid Zip makes this a very simple and easy process and I'd definitely recommend it. This one was great because you got 10 shots of paper with it, definitely better value for money than buying the options with no shots! Very easy to set up and use within 5 minutes of opening the box.

This handy little printer works perfectly with any of my android devices. The printer was perfect for a school project (memories) lots of days out captured on our phones, printed out and stuck into a scrap book. Zink paper is handy, no ink required in the printer & a sticky back. The only downside is the photo quality is poor, the image is clear, but the colours appear washed out, just like the 80s polaroid instant camera. You need to accept the limitations of the Zink technology.

My sister loved her printer as a Chrismas present. Very easy to set up, simply download the app and you're ready to go. Great portable size too - can be carried in a handbag. Plus you get 10 free prints - a big bonus as you can start using straight away. No ink needed - just got to buy the paper from now on. Recommend for those savvy teenagers who want to print their favourite selfies instantly! Thank you Argos for being easy to order and collect - stress-free Christmas shopping!

This has to be the easiest printer I have ever used. All you have to do is download the app, turn on bluetooth and voilà you have a miniature print out. I've used it with my phone and my tablet (both Samsung). The quality isn't amazing but the instant print products seem to keep improving. Its very small and very quiet and the printer paper is self adhesive. I suppose the only major down side is price of the paper, it's currently 50p a sheet. (bought May 2016 £99 for printer)

The printer is light in weight and comparitive in size to an external hard drive. Printing is limited to in terms of the paper media (which itself isn't cheap). The overall clarity of images produced is good, although not spectacular. To operate the printer you need to install the the free app on a smart phone, which will require Bluetooth and GPS to work. The app has a built in camera intererface, however it is also possible to print from other existing locations.

I bought this for my 10 year old Granddaughter for her birthday.She had great fun at her party taking photos with her mobile phone and then printing them.I was originally going to buy her a Polaroid camera but you couldn't see the photo before printing and as the paper is expensive you don't want to be printing out of focus or poor photos. There is also an app which can be used to add text ect to individualise each picture. I think she will have endless fun.

The Polaroid Zip Instant Print Mobile Printer is a must have gadget. Plug & play & so easy to use. It's MAGIC.At a school reunion recently, the waiter took a group pic of all 15 of us then 'click-wurr' out came the handy, wallet sized (2"x3") perfectprint. The colour & detail from the zinc photo paper was fantastic. The Polaroid Zip, cordless Blutooth, Printer fits in a pocket or handbag. We went home with a signed & dated keepsake of our lovely evening.

This mini printer is great for printing instant mini photos. Great for family gatherings and other situations where you want to have a print right away. The photos are quite small and can be stuck onto something if you peel off the back. There is no ink cartridge it's all in the paper already. The Bluetooth link is easy to use. No need for an app. I've used it with both an iPhone and an android phone with no problems. And it really is pocket size.
