HP Sprocket Reviews

Awesome little printer, app needs work.

I love my Sprocket printer, but the app has some failings. My biggest complaints are that 1) the stickers are not kept up to date (it’s late May, and the month stickers still read March and April), and 2) the app trims edges off my phone photos when it imports them, so I have to crop the photo in my Photos app to make sure it centers up the way I want in the Sprocket app. I don’t always want to crop the original just to be able to print it out for my journal, devs!

Extremely satisfied, the “Sprocket” is a completely ingenious idea!

This is so convenient and useful, thank you HP! You guys rock. This is what you get when a great concept and prefect execution are combined! ???

Very cool

I’ve always wanted a Sprocket, the very first time I seen it advertised. I was a little reluctant about purchasing a little printer for such a large amount of money. I waited over a year to see if the price of the Sprocket notched down a little, but nope! The price stated the same. (((((What a bummer))) needless to say I finally gave in and purchased at full price. Had it for a year or so and hardly ever used it. Finally used it today to print pictures for my daughter’s room to place pictures on her fairy lights. The pictures are small & cute.

Text can not be customized

I am trying to use one of the overlays under T menu but the text could not be changed. For example there is one that says “Thank you for being such a caring and wondeful mother. Love, Alison” This overlay is useless unless your name is Allison. There is no option to click on to change the text. Tapping on the screen does not help either. There is no customer support available for the app which is dissapointing. There is also just a handful of options available when it comes to photo filters. Overall, the app need work.

Upset with the update

I really enjoyed using this app to print photos from my phone using my sprocket. My favorite way to print was using the Polaroid frame, and since my app has been updated it seems to no longer have that frame. Disappointed by this.

I love it, but there’s a few issues.

Ok so, sometimes with the app I’ll be trying to print out something and the photo will load for a bit, then the app will crash. Also, I have tried to print out photos with yellow but the yellow turns orange. Other then that, this printer is amazing! Thank you!

Won’t connect

Called HP And they can’t even get it to work. Stupid thing won’t print and it was a birthday gift for my daughter who now has a paper weight. Always some kind of issue.

This app has gotten better...

I remember before using this it was so hard to tell weather it’s printing or not and the app was just very complicated so I deleted it ... However, I need to make a collage today so I downloaded the app again, long story short it’s amazing it’s walks you step by step of what your doing and it’s just perfect I printed about four photos in less then 2 mins isn’t that awesome!!

Cool

Great Device but application lacks.

First and foremost the HP Sprocket devices are really cool and I did a lot of research prior to purchasing. I still believe the Sprocket Plus is the better pocket printer for the price, on the market. Some pros: 1.)Device offers sticker backed, semi gloss paper, for printing on the go. 2.) The Sprocket and Sprocket Plus both fit in a pocket size compartment for travel and carrying. Allowing for- 3.) Bluetooth pairing on the go. 4.) With wide compatibility it allows for and array of devices to connect. Cons: 1.)close but no cigar.. Where is the black in the photos???? The contrast does not properly match the applications preview of the photo. This is also an upset because it might be a printing limitation for the hardware of the device. At least the Sprocket Plus. So firmware may not be able to repair this issue. 2.) The printout cuts off 1-3% of the photo from the application’s print preview screen. So technically any time you add a border to a photo the outer edges of the photo in the preview, will not be printed. 3.) Not much use for professional/every day usage. These photo stickers have thousands of potential applications to every day life, why are there not stickers and features to prove it?! Overall, this is a pretty decent application with some major flaws still, but the device makes up for it..mostly...mostly. There are still many applications for the device and the prints to be seen. Hewlett Packard must seek to take advantage of in order to keep selling this product to new markets and customers. After all, when you bought this product, were you offered any kind of compatibility with 3rd party software in the directions to help you use the device differently? No Therefore, we must assume that this was not a free application, but a paid for application for those who are the owners of the Sprocket... just sayin. After receiving feedback regarding my concerns mentioned above, the developers responded with tips and tricks that I know will make a difference with my problems I’ve had. I’m thankful for their feedback and assistance. Therefore I’m changing my star rating to 5 stars, based upon their customer service and application support alone.
