Ratings and reviews

Like many others, this app no longer works for me. My Samsung phone used to connect easily to my printer, which definitely helped my productivity and simplified my printing tasks. Now it's can't find the printer and always says it is unavailable. It really hope this gets fixed, because it worked perfectly before and for some reason it's changed from a five-star app to a one-star one.

This app works perfectly for my Android Droid Turbo phone. one thing I forgot to do at first was to turn on the Wi-Fi for my phone. If Wi-Fi is not on, then the plug-in will continue to search and never find the printer. My printer is wireless and runs through the router, so the phone has to find it wirelessly the same way. So just make sure your Wi-Fi is turned on if you have the same setup. The documents printed beautifully, exactly as they were sent to me.

Tried instead of full Brother print control app'. I don't need full printer control via my phone, just occasional printing of a PDF or photo. However, it consistently hides a portion of photos in print preview, which indicates the hidden portion won't be printed. I need to print all of a photo, not 90%, so the plugin is effectively useless.
