So, if your device does not have Bluetooth capabilities, you will have to get an adapter or Google how to install Bluetooth onto your devise. Also, it does not have any USB capabilities or USB port. The machine will only function when you have set it up from the Cricut website and get Bluetooth to recognize the machine; and you can then download Cricut Design Space. There is no power button, just the power cord that automatically powers it on when plugged in. I'll stick with my Silhouette machines!Roxinda-headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01098524634262342771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021963321489275438.post-29722703503854389502020-03-06T14:13:02.626-05:002020-03-06T14:13:02.626-05:00Excited to hear about a new app coming! ♥️Excited to hear about a new app coming! ♥️Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021963321489275438.post-44851766293809682902020-03-03T12:34:36.797-05:002020-03-03T12:34:36.797-05:00But when will the portrait 2 be available?But when will the portrait 2 be available?Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18231149656861813174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021963321489275438.post-46547086056075432442020-02-28T14:40:45.953-05:002020-02-28T14:40:45.953-05:00Just reading specs.....

My advice, if anyone were to ask, would be to buy a Portrait 2 if you want a "small", portable machine. It's versatile, light weight, and can do just about anything you want to do with it. Forget the Cricket Joy. It's just an overpriced toy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00417813461764499007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021963321489275438.post-38006873476625088202020-02-28T08:49:50.164-05:002020-02-28T08:49:50.164-05:00What in the world would a person even use that lit...What in the world would a person even use that little Cricut for? Personally, that would be a pain in the ass. You could only cut small things. I have the Portrait 2 and also the Cameo 4. I mostly use the Portrait as it takes up much less room. But the Cameo 4 cuts "more" on the mat. :) Or at least much bigger things.KimberlyOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06049216952563214614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021963321489275438.post-2973470391735948542020-02-28T03:26:23.532-05:002020-02-28T03:26:23.532-05:00Thank you for this post.

I had been thinking of getting a Joy (mainly just because of the excitement around it's release!), but will wait to see if a Portrait 2 would serve me better once the mobile app is here (I often work from my iPad).Ali Wade Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14616219934705666569noreply@blogger.com
