PrintDirect for Negative User Reviews
✓ Plain garbageSorry...not worth saying any more.Version: 1.3.1
✓ UselesIt is just a demo with zero functionality and ad popups every 3 seconds!.Version: 1.8.4
✓ Poor output qualityTried the Lite version first. Seems to function, but was so limited, so couldn't test what a real document that I'm familiar with would look like printed. Bought he full version, expecting better. But instead seems the print quality is poor compared to a normal print out, at least for the drivers compatible with my HP laser. Almost looked like every page I printed was a medium quality jpeg of my document. Even when using the computer to process and relay printing, which bypasses the app print drivers, it printed in better quality, but far worse than a typical printing. Also very slow compared to other apps spooling the print job..Version: 2.1
✓ Print DirectI had a bit of trouble getting my iPad to print on a wireless Kodak printer but the support from Print direct was fantastic. It's works fine now. Thank you.Version: 1.3
✓ Doesn’t WorkTried everything to simply print a webpage. Read the instructions and watched the video. Print webpages button doesn’t work. This app is a waste of time..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Ne fonctionne pasAprès plusieurs essais d'impression sur mon imprimante réseau j'ai abandonné. Un gros 0 pour cette application..Version: 2.1
✓ MisleadingDitto what 'canuck100' said. This is just an advertising. There is no functionality at all!.Version: 1.7
✓ Can't give it a proper testAfter you download the app it finds your printer and the app prints of a test page BUT it doesn't let you have a go at printing one of your own files to see if it works. I need to see it do that before I'm willing to part with £3.99 to unlock it.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Deleted straight awayDownloaded so I could print to PDF. As soon as you're in you can see that functionality costs $7.99. I don't mind paying for an app, but this was very misleading..Version: 2.2.2
✓ No features...unless you pay!!The fee version offers only a video showing what you will get ...but if you pay nearly $6, which I did. This app. is non-intuitive..confusing, hard to follow, an unattractive presentation, and consequently a waste of money. Would rec. a free trial version so potential buyers (like me) can decide if it's going yo be useful for them. I would not recommend this app..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Doesn't work !!!After 10+ email with tech sup (commendable) they finally told me I had to take a screen shot of an article not actually print something like when installing the free or paid version. You can't print from this app like it claims. I plan on requesting a refund and feel it's been a complete waste of time ad it does not do what it claims in the description (print shot v. Actually printing directly). Partial print at best not the item I am hoping to print..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Find something ElseThis app tested fine on my Canon 3200 so I purchased based on the test. After buying I then printed an email which would not print properly. I immediately applied for a refund and of course was refused. A waste of $6.99..Version: 3.2.2
✓ Does not printWhile this app recognizes my wireless printer, it will not print for me. Test page goes thru ok, but that's it....nothing else will print..Version: 1.5.1
✓ PrintDirect don’t buy!I spent hours yesterday trying to set this up and running on my iPad 2 to print email and from Pages. It simply doesn’t work. I wasted the whole day. I had lots of nice emails from EuroSmartz with unclear directions. I went to their web site for their trouble shooting advice only to discover that they say it currently cannot print email or from Pages. You can only print from inside the PrintDirect App. I downloaded Print ‘n Share, also by EuroSmartz, and it works great to print from the other apps on my iPad 2. I’m hoping Apple will refund the purchase price of PrintDirect. Bottom line, don’t buy this app..Version: 1.1
✓ DisappointedI wasted my money buying this app. I have to keep my computer on anyway to print from iPad..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Don't be misledThis app is NOT free, just a tester to make sure that it works with your printer before buying. There are NO useable features until you pay for the upgrade. You just stay locked into the test screen until then. The app might be great or might be awful, but you can't try even the most basic features out before buying a higher-specified version, only the confirmation that it works with your printer. In my view, this is fraudulent advertising, and I've told them they should state up front that it is a paid-only app. I may well still want to buy it, but it's getting one star at the moment because of the hassle caused me, having to go and back and forward to the support people, and only finding out the truth on the third or fourth e-mail exchange! Just be honest up front Eurosmartz! I would have respected that..Version: 2.1
✓ Not worth it rip offDoes not work at all.Version: 1.3
✓ Can't print without buying the appsWaste of time.Version: 1.7
✓ This is a scamThere is no app. It is simply an add to get you to buy the real app for $13. Any chance of dealing with this mob EVER is gone thanks to outright trickery.. Adios Amigos.Version: 1.0
✓ FREEThis app is NOT FREE.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Not fully happyPurchased the upgrade as it work on the test print I did. Since the upgrade will only print out in bold from my iPad using Pages, transferred a document to Pages on my iMac and it printed OK. I have printed other documents from my iPad all come out in bold. I have sent two emails to support but no reply. Think carefully before you buy..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Very poor - does nothing of useThis app is poor. Just a ruse to get you to pay $10.49 for their full app that can actually print documents. This free app just allows you to paste plain text into a box for subsequent printing. Big deal.Version: 1.4
✓ StudyIf you want an app and like pushing buttons go to several pages have 101 choices before you can print a simple page then this is the app for you as for me just give up on time consuming apps what a waste of time and money.Version: 1.7.3
✓ THIS APP IS NOT FREE AS STATED.THIS APP IS NOT FREE AS STATED. you go through a whole rigmarole of downloading different apps to make it work and then it says you can print the SAMPLE, to print anything else is £6.99. Don't waste your time if you think you are getting something that is functional for free. It's not. Companies like this make me sick. Just be honest from the start..Version: 1.7
✓ Needs tweaking!Downloaded the free app, found my wifi printer, test drove it and managed to print 20 or so pages with a few font characters on each page. I was prompted to spend $9.99, no mention of a free trial or recommended setup instructions for a generic inkjet printer. I needed to print something and don't have an AirPrint capable printer, so to have the print capability on the iPad, I bought the paid version and downloaded WePrint too for the iMac. Way too complicated for the novice user so I'm recommending putting some more "clues for idiots" in the PrintDirect app to avoid wasting paper and getting positive results early. After buying the paid add-on version it printed my document with some formatting being off with margins..Version: 1.3
✓ UselessTerrible program. Waste your paper to setup your printer. Then the only thing you can do is paying more ten dollars to upgrade..Version: 1.7
✓ Not what it say on the tinThis is not a printing application. What this does is it checks if your printer can be connected to and then sets it up. That is it. To actually print anything you need to install a proper printing app which is offered as in-app "upgrade" purchase. Therefore it is deceiving and not fair to call PrintDirect a "free" app, hence one star rating. There really should be two separate apps: PrintDirect checker and PrintDirect printer..Version: 1.8.5
✓ Shouldn't be freeThis does nothing except force in-app purchases and show full screen ads. Deleted after opening once..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Not for meThis app found my wifi Samsung printer ok, but when I printed the test document it printed pages of garbage. DELETE!.Version: 1.0
✓ Cannot print with this appYou can only print a sample document to test printing works, you cannot actually print anything useful like a web page or document without a paid upgrade..Version: 3.0
✓ KrapPrints garbage. If they can't get the free version to work, I'm guessing the paid app is no better!.Version: 1.0
✓ MisrepresentedThe app only works from within itself. You cannot print via anything but it. Not at all what I thought I was purchasing. Refund!.Version: 1.1
✓ Print quality is rubbishThis is a free demo - you still have to purchase the app to use it. Which at least means you can see if it works before you upgrade. However the upgrade still uses a lame convoluted process to get your document from pages into this app to print. The print quality is rubbish. Fonts are all blocky. Better off without this app..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Do NOT useU can only print a test page of a printer, this is not free!!! Don't put free! Silly..Version: 1.7
✓ Works, but ...I downloaded the free test app and yes, this does allow printing directly to my Canon mp640, but the print quality is really, REALLY bad. Seems to me that all this app does is create images of the docs for printing. No way I'd pay this sort of money for that. I get a better quality print by doing a screen capture and printing via the free Canon app.... just about every printer manufacturer provides a free app like this. On the odd occasion I need a good quality print, I'll do it using the free AirPrint patch for pc and channel iPad print through that. It works brilliantly and the print quality is perfect. Three stars because it does actually print directly to the printer without channeling through a PC, which is a lot more than other print apps will do..Version: 1.1
✓ Not freeThis is not a free app as promoted in iTunes apps. It might work, but you just don't use apps that con you out of money. Be honest and straight forward and people will buy what they need. I will never buy off these guys again and iTunes should be mindful loyalty is built on trust..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Its not freeCon artist, try again.Version: 1.1
✓ Didn't provide wifi print for freeYou have to pay for the wifi print. There are tons of ads making it a pain to set up. I deleted it shortly after downloading it..Version: 3.1.1
✓ TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICEI installed this today and emailed them a very simple question "can I connect wirelessly from my iPad 3 to my wifi capable laptop directly without going through a wireless “network“(modem/router)". The first two responses were form-letter responses. The next 8 or so emails back and forth just got ridiculous. They never answered my question, instead just kept giving me the same answers they had already given me. I explained it 5 different ways. A simple yes or no would have sufficed..Version: 1.5.1
✓ This is just a video - misleadingI have no problem paying for something. However, this is advertised online as a "free" app for printing direct to my PC's printers and it is not that at all - it's mostly just a sales video. It does allow printing a snippet to see if it works with your set up so it is sort of a test on this basis but it should advertise that this is what it is and not be misleading. It also promotes its included email app (my ios one works just fine) and a pdf converter (i also already have one of those) All I want is a printer app. No thanks.Version: 1.7
✓ I paid $10 for nothingThe app is good but it's almost a duplicate of Save2Pdf which I also bought. All this because Apple OS5 cut off any printer selection!!!!! I cannot find a way to print from iBook, Kindle, etc to PDF !!!!!!.Version: 1.3
✓ Unusable?This is one of the messiest UI’s I’ve ever encountered. I can’t even figure out how to tell it to print a photo. It’s possible one can’t print without buying the app, but I’m not spending my money to find out..Version: 3.5.1
✓ WorksNeeded to print from IPad2. Used free version to test if it could find my printer which it did immediately. You set up your email in app then you can print any email you get. Also allows you to print documents from docs to go app....HUGE...for any business person. I'm just glad I found a way to print if I need to from IPad. Worth 8 dollars..Version: 1.1
✓ Classic Bait and Switch - in my opinionCan get app for free. Can test printer function for free. STOP. Have to pay to use. Have plenty of apps that I can Use for “free” and have the option to pay for “additional “ services. In other words, receive basic functions. “I'm Melissa and thanks for getting in touch. PrintDirect allows you to test which printer driver works best for your printer for free before you make the purchase to use the app. This is described in the description.” Yes Melissa it is buried after screen shot labeled “local files” and paragraph of all the “wonderful “ printing capabilities the app promotes. “Prove that you can print to any printer for free. Upgrade to unlock all of the features below...” I’m sorry but paragraph above touts capabilities so I would think most people would read and understand that they would be getting those functions above AND if they decide they want “ALL OF THE FEATURES BELOW..” they can pay. Cost is not identified until 9 paragraphs later and then you have to click on “In-App Purchases” to reveal cost. Thanks Melissa for telling me how “obvious” the cost is stated to be able to use app. You are not forthright - deceptive advertising at its best..Version: 3.3
✓ It Worked, After You Purchase the Upgrade, That Is..It will print a test page, and then that's it until you purchase the upgrade. Once you buy the upgrade it works well. It's certainly not free though..Version: 3.2
✓ Far too complex to set up. Who does know of a printer app that does work?I downloaded this hoping it was the answer to printing. It was a nightmare to try to get it to work (no needfor it if you have an Airprint printer). I failed to get it to work. It then switched into cripple mode which means you have to buy the full version. (So it is not free) to continue to try to get it to work. Well I was not prepared to do that so I will skip this app. If the app developer cannot get the app to work with my printer in test mode then what's likelihood that it will work with the purchased version? Unlikely. Someone out there please let me know what printer app really works from the iPad (not usaing Airprinters). ??.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Not very helpfullI am not happy with this one and would not recommend it. Doesn't seem to work.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Zero starsWas very excited to find a program that allows you to print from iPad. Now I know I ain’t the smartest cookie in the jar but I’m also not the idiot one, so I thought. After I upgraded, Let’s just say when I buy a car the intent is to buy something that is turn key, don’t really want to have to go and buy tires and wheels. Installed app on pc and iPad. Test seemed to work now everything I read tell me I need print central wasted $5 not going to waste more money, time and paper trying. Do yourself a favor and save your money, paper, time and a whole lot of stress and anger and just go buy an Air Printer. I’m sure it may work and I’m sure it’s something I’m doing or not doing correct but plain and simple it’s not like most apps of download pay then use. Could not possibly recommend this app to anyone. Need a choice of zero stars because that’s what I feel this app deserves. STARS ....... zero..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Buyer bewareI downloaded this app thinking I could print directly to my network enabled printer, as the description states. But you have to first purchase the $5 upgrade and, you can't print directly to the printer unless its wireless enabled. If you don't have wireless enabled or wireless at all, you have to install WePrint on your Mac or PC and leave that running in order to 'relay' the print job to the printer. If my computer can print directly to my networked printer, why can this software?? Useless in my view. If I need to have wireless enabled, I might as well just use AirPrint.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Need to upgradeThis app does pretty much nothing unless you pay $10 to upgrade..Version: 1.6
