Completely nonfunctional. None of the buttons do anything. Edit: The link Brother shared in their reply does not appear to contain a listing for this app via which I could request support, nor any general support request option. To be clear, when you download this app, there are three buttons: "Find Wi-Fi Direct Machine", "Find Bluetooth machine", and "Light Mode Settings". All three can be clicked; the first time, location permissions are requested, after that, absolutely nothing happens.

Like many others, this app no longer works for me. My Samsung phone used to connect easily to my printer, which definitely helped my productivity and simplified my printing tasks. Now it's can't find the printer and always says it is unavailable. It really hope this gets fixed, because it worked perfectly before and for some reason it's changed from a five-star app to a one-star one.

Printer is usually grayed out and cannot be re-added ("cannot add printer"). This has been a problem for years and brother just ignores it. They'd better fix it soon or I'll be buying laser printers from someone else. Update 2 years later: still not working. Still the same issue. I have always been a fan of these laser printers but this is unacceptable and extremely irritating.

Was working now completely refusing to talk to printer it knows is there. Brother online support absolutely useless, you need to be a tech genius to figure it out. Tremendously difficult to set up the first time, worked fine for months, even yesterday. Printer is effectively useless since we use it for phones and tablets. Edit; brother need to actually read the comments. I've already contact support, the issue is clearly your app!

Don't know why but my phone always shows the printer grayed out & unavailable. I have the exact same printer in 2 homes, in different states. Having the same issue with both tells me it's the app or printer. This has been an issue for a few months. Sometimes it'll not be grayed out & will work. Most of the time it won't. Never used to have this problem. Was tired of issues with hp printers so I got the Brother printer & it was so easy. Not anymore. Now it's nothing but problems.

This app is good except there's no native support for 8.5 x 13 Paper size. Also, a sudden screen timeout or standby causes issues while printing. Please add 8.5 x 13 size on the list so that printing those pages, especially on landscape mode, won't be a hassle. Also, fix the glitch that causes printing status to fail while the device suddenly went standby.
