You can apply filters, add stickers or text, and add borders to photos. Once you get past the cropping interface and crashes, you'll find the app has some very basic image editing tools. I also noticed that images in my Instagram feed appeared twice in a row as I scrolled through, when I knew that I had not double posted photos. I made six test prints, but even with that low volume I dealt with two app crashes when setting them up. There were a few other issues with the app. The two actions are tied together, so I had to do some digital gymnastics in order to pull out far enough to print all of my photo, while at the same time keeping things as straight as they were in the original shot. Pinching does indeed zoom out, but it also acts as a free rotation tool. No problem, just need to pinch and zoom out a bit, right? Unfortunately, no. This happened not only on photos where I'd expect the app to do so-images in a ratio other than 3:2, where zooming is necessary to fill the print, for example-but also when images were the proper aspect ratio for borderless printing to Zink paper. I downloaded a few test images to the phone and was surprised to see that, when loaded to print, the images were automatically zoomed in. Printing an image without editing should be a simple task. The app is pretty straightforward-you'll need to give it access to your camera and photo library, and if you want to pull photos from Facebook, Google Drive, or Instagram, you'll need to log into those services via the app as well. The printer has its own app that downloads automatically from the Google Play store when you first attach it to your phone. The square-format Fuji SP-3 ($199.01 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window), which works with phones via a Wi-Fi connection, can make 160 prints on a single charge. The printer is only rated to stay charged long enough to make 20 prints-that's more than you'll probably make in one sitting, but it does mean you'll have to be mindful to keep it charged when you want to use it. Pass-through charging from phone to printer is not supported. But the USB-C port is covered when it's attached to the phone, so you'll need to take it off and charge it separately. The printer has its own battery and charging port. (Opens in a new window) Read Our Polaroid Zip Photoprinter Review The slot from which prints eject is right underneath the cutout. It's not a complete brick, as the top portion is narrower, and includes a circular cutout so you can use your phone's camera with the printer attached. The size also makes it a bit much to fit into tighter pockets. The printer measures 6.1 by 2.9 by 0.8 inches (HWD) and weighs 6.6 ounces, and you certainly feel it when you're holding the phone. It's finished in white plastic, so it creates a clashing two-tone look when paired with a compatible phone-current models are only available with a black finish. Like all Moto Mods, the Insta-Share Printer snaps onto the back of your Moto Z series phone magnetically. If you want a photo printer for your phone, get the Fujifilm Instax Share SP-2 or SP-3 instead. Print quality is so-so, with poor color fidelity and limited saturation, and the app that drives the printer has some pain points.
