I enjoyed the app until the last update. But from now on the "processing" takes easily one minute per imported document. So basically the App is useless now, since it's much faster to turn on your computer and print your stuff from there. And when I finished waiting two minutes for my two PDF documents, it says "unsupported format" or something like this. That's absolutely ridiculous - I mean PDF? I think even Internet Explorer can read PDF 😂 So I'm totally disappointed by the new update.

Most of the time, it works for my printers. Occasionally it does not print PDFs ("unsupported format") from one mobile device but from the other. Crashes often when printing large documents with many pages, and then I have to waste a lot of time printing out only 2 pages at a time. Is somewhat tedious and time consuming, but still ok. I would wish for a page setup option where I can set margins and fit the documents to page. Moreover, as the print function of my combined printer+scanner stopped working (printer head clogged), I would wish for a "copy" function where I can scan from my scanner (the one from my multifunction device which is still working) and COPY DIRECTLY to my separate printer for which both devices were previously chosen/set to work with that COPY function. It can be done by manually changing the device after scanning, but that is too tedious. So if you could implement this kind of copy function in one of the next updates, it would make the app really useful and me happy.

It's a required app to be able to print wirelessly to some Brother printers. The big problem is the performance. It can take a really long time just for the app to process documents before printing. It's so slow that it's impossible to print anything more than a few pages of documents because you'll be waiting a really long time for the "processing." In contrast, the iOS app doesn't have this issue. Really poor and strange behavior that never got fixed.
