Ratings and reviews

This works perfectly with my older brother printer. It locates new printers quickly and easily on the network and allows me to print to them. Unfortunately, this app is capable of finding their newer printers but won't work with them. Instead, the Mobile Connect app is required, but that app kind of sucks and can't find the printer even though this app can.

Great, when it works. My printer has to get reset on wifi any time I want to use it, even though it says it's connected. When it works, it's easy to use and gets scanning and printing done easily. When it doesn't connect (~75% of the time) you can't do anything.

On the phone, a Galaxy S20 Ultra, the current version of the app won't recognize home Wi-Fi connection with Brother printer, J835DW. Deleted and installed an older version, which worked. Besides the iPrint&Scan app, the Brother plugin is also installed. To further verify the network interface is good, installed a competitor's app, and it connected with the network and printer with no problem. Needs to be fixed.
