Havent had a chance to use them yet, but they seem to be exactly like the ones we have always used. Very easy to use, just plug and go. Great price, great value.

I love my square reader It works so good and I'm glad my phone still has a 3.5 headphone jack because this is the easiest square reader there is

I HAD NO ISSUES. OPENED THE APP I WANTED TO TAKE CARDS WITH. PLUGGED IN THE READER. WORKED GREAT. MUCH EASIER THAN TYPING IN EVERY CREDIT CARD. GLAD I BOUGHT IT EVEN AFTER READING A FEW REVIEWS SAYING IT DIDNT WORK.

Our Cub Scout Pack sells popcorn every year, and we end up using the TrailsEnd app. It allows us to take credit cards. This scanner works great with my Samsung phone (I have to use an adapter since it doesn't have a headphone jack). It definitely helps with sales since fewer and fewer people are carrying cash with them these days.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awkward But Useful Little Tool

Square spares no expense when it comes to packaging their hardware. Even the $15 dock for this item came packaged really well. The reader is well made and very sturdy. It feels like opening a high dollar Apple product with the robust box. The only issue I have come across is that pairing to another device such as another phone/tablet has to be done manually by pushing the little button on the bottom of the device. The button is recessed to stop accidentally pushing it, however, this makes it require two hands to press it, making it where you have to lay your other device down to push the button.

As for connection range between the bluetooth card reader and your device running the Square App, you can expect roughly 20-25ft before the card reader is no longer able to communicate with the Square App. The card/chip reader does auto reconnect to the last used device, making using it on one device pretty straight forward and reliable. The only issue I can see at the time of writing this review is that your customers might be concerned about popping their charge card in a handheld device that is not familiar to them. People trust cell phones/tablets more then a pocket sized device they have never seen before.

No card read errors. The app has a lot of options to set up to your specific needs.
