Summary of Reviews from Across the Internet

Experts have appreciated the uniqueness of this product and had a lot of fun with the adhesive prints. This is a fun gimmick printer. It isn’t meant to be used for professional quality. While the printer may be small, the power adapter is about the same size which makes it difficult to lug around the whole package if you plan to print off more than 15 photos in a night.

Customers have really enjoyed the fun aspects of this printer and the memories it brought back of shooting with their old Polaroid cameras. While it is a fun camera, users have found several downsides to this first generation product and had some hopes for what it might evolve into to make it more appealing. Most users have been dissatisfied with the color quality of the prints. Some have complained about lines through the prints, while others have faulted the saturation and color balance.

Customers have had a laundry list of things they would like to see improved aside from the print quality. Ergonomically, the USB and power adapter ports are on opposites sides of the printer, which takes up more space. The unit could use a better battery and support for the iPhone. Other are eager to see the incorporation of a lens into the unit for a true all-in-one like the Polaroids of old. While a wider range of paper sizes would be nice, as some users hope to see, it would also increase the size of the unit. Despite a few downsides, most users gave the PoGo the thumbs up.
