> 24 hourHonestly, after my first experience with a small label maker I almost didnt try this one. But, it looked promising so I decided I would make one more attempt at actually getting a decent item. Im glad I did. Yes, it takes time to get the hang of designing and placement – and figuring out where things are located in the app – but otherwise it has been an entirely different and much better experience for me. The end results are also much better looking. What you get: The box contains the label maker, a USB cord (no charging block), 1 roll of continuous label tape, and a small manual that helps you install the app, connect to the device via Bluetooth, and get the label tape set up. The presentation of this product in its box is impressive. It looks good enough to gift as-is. Device: So easy to use! There are only three buttons – one for power, one for cutting the labels, and one for opening the device to change label rolls etc. All device functions operate smoothly and efficiently and the quality of the printed label is quite good. App: Easy to find in the app store and easy to download. I do not appreciate having to provide my email address or phone number to an unknown Chinese company but it is required to create an account in order to login and use the app. The app itself is much easier to use than the one utilized by the previous label make that I had, though, it still takes some time to get the hang of it. At the end of the day I am much happier with this new label maker. It does seem to have fewer fonts/graphics and Im still learning the interface, but it is an all around good mini label maker and I genuinely like it...

> 24 hourI have seen this type of label maker before and finally took the leap. We label a lot of kids items for school so I thought this would be a fun way of adding a little extra character. I was right, the app download was easy (as long as you get the right one, there are two from the same company in the app store). Once I loaded the app and powered the printer on it found it right away so that I could make a connection. As a quick test I just downloaded a transparent background PNG and easily dropped it on to a label with some text. Hit print and out it came perfect with nice crisp lines. The adhesive seems strong and so far has held up well on the water bottle it was put on. The only negative that I have is the musical sound that the device makes when it starts up and shuts down. I dont know why manufacturers seems to load up devices with unnecessary noises but if you have read some of my other reviews you will note my dislike for these type of things. As for the app issue I mentioned, I initially downloaded the NIIMBOT app instead of the NIIM app. The NIIMBOT app did not find the printer and I was just about to contact support when I noticed the icon difference in the instructions...after swapping for the correct app there were no problems. Thats on me, but I do wonder why the company has two apps for similar purposes and one doesnt work while the other does.

> 24 hourConnect using bluetooth and an app. Easy to use. Instructions don’t show you really how to use it only how to connect and download app. Need to play with it more to get the hang of it and all it features. Have in app purchases so you’re limited on what you can do for free.

> 24 hourThis label maker is way nicer than I expected. When first turned on, it plays an adorable little tune. A phone is required to use the label maker. Installation and connecting to my phone was seamless. The app itself is highly functional. Not only are there predesigned labels than can be used, creating custom labels is simple. You can print tiny pictures out. Photos from my phones camera works well. So do basic clipart images off the internet. The app allows the creation of QR codes, too. The app includes lots of different functionality. Biggest downside is some of the premade templates are VIP only meaning they require in-app purchases. I found I could practically bypass this by screenshotting the VIP only templates are uploading them as custom images.

> 24 hourHave always wanted a label maker, but the idea of dealing with the tape and everything was a bit much. This label maker solves that problem! Quick and Easy setup. You just download the app and sync it up to your phone. The app is user friendly and has fun options for adding graphics, changing font, etc. This label maker uses tape rather than stickers! This means that you can make the labels as short or long as you want. It has a button you push to get a perfect straight edge cut right at the end of the label. The printing is high sheen, no smudging. And as an added bonus, it has a super cute retro design. Did a test sticker on my cell phone case (goes in and out of my pocket constantly) and it has held up without any peeling or smudging for weeks. Overall, this is nice compact easy to use label maker.

> 24 hourIve been looking for a label maker like this for a long time. The printer comes with a charge cord and very good instructions on how to set up the printer. My phone instantly paired to the label maker, and I could print whatever label I wanted. I would highly recommend this item.

> 24 hourI dont have any prior experience with any other label makers, so I have nothing with which to compare this one. That being said, it seems pretty awesome. It is very cute. The company did a great job with the presentation and all the little details. I love the vintage-looking color and design, and I like the sounds it makes and the simplicity of the three buttons. The app was easy to find and is fairly intuitive to use. There are fonts and designs that require a separate purchase. I do find that super annoying but, in the end, not enough to take off a star. The labels print clearly and cut cleanly. They have easy-to-peel backs and stick well to objects. My only concern is about purchasing replacement label tape. I dont know how easy it will be to find or how costly to buy. I still have plenty of tape left, so I havent started looking as of yet. This is so cute and comes in such darling packaging, that it would actually make a fun and unique gift.
