Works great and as expected. Only had an issue that it wouldn't connect to my phone because it was in developer mode, so it's a bit annoying that I need to turn that off when I want to use the Square. Other than that, no issues, and the app is easy to use.

No complaints! Has been working great. Holds a charge really well. Instructions are clear and easy to understand as well as the device itself and the app are very user friendly. Haven’t had any issues.
The app has quite a lot of features for invoicing, payment options, setting up regular customers, setting up products and set prices.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful, but wasteful.

This reader does everything it promises to, and is very easy to set up and use. The only thing I really dislike about it and was quite surprised to learn, is that you can't power it off at all once it's been set up initially. While researching this issue, I found support threads full of people complaining about this, and Square's response is that it's better this way for some reason. So the built in battery will just be constantly in sleep mode and running itself empty, needing to be recharged frequently even if you're not using it often. And because it's constantly on, my phone is constantly trying to connect to it. I really only need it for weekend use, so it's not optimal to be running power through it and having it try to connect 24/7. But other than that, it's very good and I would reccomend it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Tap function wouldn't work, and then stopped being able to connect altogether
Reviewed in Canada on May 15, 2024
Style: Square Reader (2nd generation)Verified Purchase
This is my first square reader and it worked perfectly for the first day I used it. Then on the second day it stopped responding to tap, the green light wouldn't come on at all despite being fully charged, updated, and connected. I never dropped it or otherwise damaged it physically. It seemed to still accept chip inserts but the point of this device is so I can accept contactless payment. So I tried to troubleshoot; I tried resetting my bluetooth, my device, the reader, and nothing worked. Eventually I disconnected the reader from my device to troubleshoot and the reader wouldn't connect at all after that.

So I returned the reader and ordered a replacement. It has the same issue, the green light won't come on for tap, fresh out of the box. I don't know if it's just a defective batch that Amazon has been sending out but I've been very unlucky with this product.
