1.0 out of 5 stars What is the point? April 9, 2012

By Diskoman

This isn't a "virtual printer", this is essentially a file sharing app. Why should someone bother with this when they could use Box, Dropbox, etc. and be able to send ANY type of file, without having to convert them, to your phone or tablet. All my Box account needs is net access too; it doesn't need my devices to be on the same wifi network like this. That's not even mentioning it's free and works in both directions. This type of app was useful about 6 or 7 years ago...it's obsolete now.

3.0 out of 5 stars Evernote is a much better choice. April 9, 2012

By Techie Guy

Also free, Evernote does this and much much more, with no complicated learning curve. Amazon: thanks for throwing the adults a once a month real world app. How about more of these and less "baby sitter" games?

1.0 out of 5 stars We don't need this app! April 9, 2012

By jjceo HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER

I have a Kindle Fire and not a printer. I get emails and I can read them and if they have attachments I can open a PDF, Word, Excel, Power Point and other style of documents. So why do I need this app to take up space and have to load programs on my PC to make it work?

I can save the documents from emails and using Quickoffice I can even have the document read to me aloud by my Kindle Fire! I can edit it and forward it or save it for future use. Quickoffice is only 6.04 MB and does all this while this program is 5.51 MB and I still have to install another program onto my PC? I simply do not understand or see the value in this app.

Installation lists a web site to go to download a file to my PC. The website is printed in light blue on a medium gray background and I can't even read the web site name on my Kindle Fire. I don't have the space to waste on my Kindle Fire and I don't need to add a program to my PC to get this one to show up as a printer.

Sorry, I already put it in the cloud!

2.0 out of 5 stars two stars 4 now April 9, 2012

I knew I was in trouble when it took me 15+ minutes just to install all the crap on my laptop! After all of that, can't use it. Actually it's probably a router issue, so won't hold that against them! Someone mentioned Evernote, might give that a shot!

Btw, isn't it kind of strange having to install Apple software?

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of system memory an resources. April 9, 2012

By Bark

This is an overly complicated solution that is better addressed by other methods. Evernote, Dropbox, and a load of other more intuitive solutions already allow you to complete the same tasks, and those alternatives provide more functionality beyond the limited scope of this app.
