Wondering if there's a cheaper decent alternative...
Or is it plug and play? Does Bluetooth feature need their app?
Seems less convenient if each phone has to have a special app on it to use the printer.
Not sure how else it would work though since the device seems to have very few buttons
edit: sorting reviews by most recent shows bad recent scores. multiple reports of it failing quickly and some claims of recent app update failures/not working with Apple products. ymmv?

The quality is fine. I think the look of the prints you get from sending them to Walgreens is slightly better, but what the printer puts out is plenty fine to pop in a frame or stick on grandma's fridge.
This isn't a new technology; I remember we had an expensive version of this at a university job I had in the middle 90s. It was expensive because you'd consume the three color rolls when you printed whether you were using a little or a lot of that particular color. These gadgets have made that a little less visibly painful by having it all in one cartridge so you aren't pained as much by throwing away that much "good" ink. Back then this was considered a far better archival method than ink-based printing. Whether that's improved with modern papers I have no idea.
Personally I rarely want prints in a quick turnaround so I'd rather avoid the up-front payment and $0.30 a print in favor of sending to Walgreens for anywhere from about half (normally) to a tenth as much (when they run big deals). That said we've had fun printing the occasional picture to hand to someone and in fairness I end up printing stuff I DON'T need when those sales crop up, so this would probably be a financial wash if I bought it.
Oh, another worthwhile thing to know: this sort of transfer stuff doesn't have the clogged jet issue that inkjets do. So there is some value to that up-front cost - you're less likely to be throwing away bad ink or struggling with cleaning, like I always ended up doing when I had long gaps between prints.
Edit: Also worth knowing, you have to use their app to print on the one I have. It's mediocre but not aggressively bad.
Like the Canon Selphy series.... But, will the cartridges be available years from now? If thinking long term use and ownership, Selphy
If just a few years (until whenever Kodak changes tact and dumps the line),
Kodak fine.
