Title: A classic, same expensive film, same poor picture and I still love them
Review: Maybe it’s nostalgia. My uncle had an early Polaroid and I remember waiting, waiting for it… and suddenly a real picture in real time. My mother had an old Kodak Brownie and the film would sit in that thing for sometimes a year before we saw the pictures. Somehow the classic Polaroid print always pulls me in, and back then there was only the one as time went on and there wasn’t an option for a copy.Not much has changed, and I wonder how I can be so enchanted by such a dismal picture. The last shot in two packs had vingetting along the sides and even that looks charming. Save yourself buying the camera because you can take a picture of a picture right from your phone. With black and white film the results are outstanding. I was never a fan of Polaroid color so this option really works for me. Not a cheap option, but I am really enjoying the vintage look on my new photos, they sort of look timeless.

Title: Fun & easy gifts 🤍
Review: I gift Polaroids to my couples after their wedding days!As a photographer I felt I needed something a bit more instant at the end of a day. I already record BTS on my phone, so I screenshot those videos and print them for my couples!I got a case to store everything- but I’ve loved how fun and easy it is to print quality photos on the go, and the battery lasted me almost the whole summer!

Title: White Lab
Review: The image quality is great as long as you dont have a case at all on your phone when pairing the software. You will need to make sure your brightness is up on your phone but the size and portability of the item is great! Its super easy to use and great for a last minute gift 🙂

Title: I’ll give it 4 stars. Read why
Review: I’m a Polaroid photographer and got this for a specific project. It’s fun, but I’m not sure it’s fun enough to keep. Here’s why:1. Aligning your phone with the “eye” can be annoying – the Lab and your phone will make annoying sounds/lights until they “pair”, which takes surprisingly long and can get “off course” with just an accidental tap.2. If you’re using the Lab to spit out images back to back, I think it gets too hot and changes the chemistry of the film. I got tons of pink overcast on each image after using it for 20 minutes, on brand-new-direct-from-Polaroid film, in a temperature controlled environment. So the film should not have that issue at all. All I can figure is the internal camera of the Lab is workin hard & heating up, which is Polaroid film’s nemesis (if you ask some), thus changing the outcome. I remade the same images first thing a day later and they looked perfect, no cast at all, furthering my assessment. For $12-20 a box, this isn’t a sustainable way to rely on the Lab to perform if you’re expecting to use it regularly (or in my case, to finish a project).3. The exposure compensation on the app seems to work okay but I found adjusting it +1/3 actually decreased the image quality. Not sure why that is!4. Doesn’t seem to like blue. I shoot this film all the time and it does great under the blue sky, but in the Lab something gets weird and distorts the color/tone.5. The battery charge is baaaad. Like, I’m curious if my is defective bc the battery runs out so fast.On the plus side:1. It produces absolutely gorgeous black and white photos. Families looking to get photos off their phones would love this for their kids portraits.2. If you know how to shop Polaroid film from their direct website, you can make these images in an affordable fashion. It helps being very selective about the images you “print” while still getting authentic Polaroids.3. The app is very easy to use. If you can’t figure it out you’re probably not going to understand how Polaroid film works anyway so just don’t bother altogether.Other notes:1. YES cracks and scratches will impact your photo quality!2. YES you *must* take your phone cover off for it to work!3. Turn off all notifications while using it or expect to be surprised when Jenny texts you about getting dinner right as the Lab is photographing your phone’s screen and you don’t know until your image has this riveting information in Polaroid form.4. NO it is not a printer.5. NO it cannot be connected to a digital camera or a computer.6. NO do not “shake it like a Polaroid picture.”

Title: BUY THIS
Review: Would buy this over and over again. As a wedding photographer, I love being able to just grab a few phone photos throughout the day and print them as Polaroids to give my couples at the end of the night. Totally recommend this printer!!

Title: Better off with a DIFFERENT BLUETOOTH product
Review: Seemed great but did not work after 2 prints. And the two prints were a pain to print because you have to align your phone perfectly. I sent them an email in regards to the polaroid printer not printing after the second print and they never responded or got back to me. If there is ever an issue good luck getting it resolved. BETTER OFF GETTING BLUETOOTH POLAROID PRINTER!! In addition the film is huge, not normal polaroid size so make sure you’re aware of that before purchasing, and film costs like $3 a film or something like that, super expensive compared to regular polaroid film. (It mentions this but i wanted to mention it here, if your phone screen is cracked or has any scratches/ dust or anything on the screen it will appear on the printed film)

Title: Super Fun Tool
Review: I absolutely love this thing! I bought it for my 14 year old as a birthday present. She spent hours choosing her pictures and had them printed and ready within minutes. The ink packages only give you 8 pictures which is the biggest downside as it can get pretty expensive but it is a very fun gadget. Also, don’t expect for the pictures to be all that. I mean it is a home gadget. The pictures have a little green undertone and sort of look antique if you ask me.

Title: I love this thing!
Review: So, I was going on a trip, and I wanted to get a Polaroid to document the adventure. I just think the photos from Polaroids are cool. I like that they’re immediate and the look of the pictures. But, the Polaroid cameras were a bit more than I had at the moment. I stumbled across the Polaroid Lab, looking for an alternative, and I am SO glad I did. I love it! I actually like it better than a Polaroid camera because you can print out ANY picture from your phone. If you enjoy using silly Snapchat filters, you can print those. If you like to morph your face in apps like Reface, you can print those. The options are unlimited. All you need is Polaroid film, and boom, you have Polaroid quality pictures. And the lab itself is so simple to use. Literally, all you do is download the app. Once you do that, choose the photo you want to print, place the phone on the lab (face down), push the button, and voila, your picture has printed!For $89.99, you can’t go wrong.

Review: Vergesst die schlechten Rezensionen über das Produkt. Ja, wenn man zu Anfang nur stumpf sein Handy auflegt und auf das fertig entwickelte Polaroid blickt, wird man enttäuscht sein. Aber mit einer vernünftigen Bildbearbeitung bekommt man ein wunderschönes Ergebnis. Wichtig ist, dass das potentielle Bild keinen Schatten aufweist. Hierfür lässt sich der Schatten in der Bildbearbeitung aufheben. Dann ist es immer gut, ein Bild so hell wie möglich zu bearbeiten. Die Brillianz noch schnell hochgedreht. Dann das Handy nach Anweisungen der App auflegen und wirklich nichts kann mehr schief gehen. Die App ist ausgereift und unterstützt den Anwender wo es nur geht.

Review: What an awesome product. Can’t believe this has been around for 6 or 7 years and I only just got one. Super simple to use and the results are really quite amazing. App on iPhone is free and also easy to use.Also, given the extreme price of film, to be able to chose images from your collection of digital images, which can also be post processed to be optimised you can not only get fab physical ‘prints’, but it’s the image you want, just as you want it.Love it !
