#INSTASHARE MOTO MOD#
Unfortunately, the biggest flaw I found with the Polaroid Insta-Share Moto Mod printer is the quality of images produced. I thoroughly enjoyed choosing images, and experiencing the thrill of transforming a digital file into physical form, before my very eyes. The quality of the adhesive is very good, and the provided camera film is thick and durable. Images make for great diary or journal keep-sakes. Like all Polaroid photographs, the back of the film has an adhesive layer which you can peel off, and treat like a sticker. The app had largely no issues going back in time.Īs mentioned, printing is a very quick process, virtually only a few seconds. I appreciated that I could print old Instagram images, or select past images which were significantly far back in my image library. Thankfully not mid-printing, but largely when perusing your library to select an image. No doubt printing is a high intensity task, however, the app would often freeze and automatically exit.

The app’s software is also particularly prone to bugs. As such, it renders the Moto Mod’s ‘one touch’ camera button somewhat useless. The printer’s bulky size encourages the user to first capture images with their smartphone alone, and then attach the printer to print. To say the least, it was an annoyance, especially when you’re trying to focus the camera lens and capture a really great moment. To rectify, I’d have to swivel the printer against the phone a bit, or completely detach and re-attach. It could be the unit I was given, however, there were several instances when I received an error message advising the printer wasn’t properly connected. The same process applies to regular camera phone photos, and Facebook images. Images measure 2 inches x 3 inches, similar to a passport size. Scrolling through your pseudo Instagram feed you can select an image, and press the relevant icons to print.Īfter a few seconds a photograph is printed, with surprisingly no drying time required.


You do have to grant several app permissions, however, it’s largely an effortless endeavour. Syncing with Facebook and Instagram is easy. As such, you’re required to exert restraint and print images sparingly. In theory it’s great.Īs mentioned, the Polaroid Insta-Share printer only comes with ten sheets of film. The Insta-Share printer has a large ‘one touch’ button on the side, which immediately opens the camera app when pressed. Here, users can sync their Facebook and Instagram profile to view images, and print off accordingly (more on this later).

Users are directed to Google Play to download the Insta-Share app. To set-up, simply unwrap the provided stack of camera film and load into the back section of the printer. This is a con for many Gen-Y-instant-gratification customers. Unfortunately, the printer does need to be fully charged before first use, which takes a decent amount of time. Portability and ease of handling is immediately diminished. The Polaroid Insta-Share printer is thick, bulky and adds a considerable amount of weight when attached to your Z-series smartphone. (However, feel free to shop around for a better deal).įrom the moment you unpack the printer, one thing is instantly clear – this is one heavy attachment. Users can purchase extra film online or from retailers for $39.84 for 30 sheets (i.e. Retailing for A$129 online the Polaroid Insta-Share Printer comes with ten sheets of adhesive camera film. In addition to printing photographs from your phone, the Insta-Share Moto Mod can print pictures from your Facebook and Instagram too.

Once presumed to largely be a gimmick, Lenovo-owned Motorola has continued its commitment to its Moto Mod range – a series of attachments which adhere to its Z-series smartphones for enhanced functionality.Īs such, welcome the Polaroid Insta-Share printer, which claims to convert your Motorola phone into a “super portable Polaroid camera”.
