    • Best Chip Reader
Works great and pairs with Leadconnector which is huge for my company since we try to keep all our crm, client management, and POS in the same place. Has great connectivity and the packaging was reminiscent of Apple’s iPhone boxes, great quality overall!

    • Stopped working after 2 months
Worked great at first but suddenly stopped working after 2 months. It wouldn't pair with any device. Took a charge, blinkrd all the correct lights but wouldn't pair. I tried Square help and none of the fixes worked. Used a search engine to finally find a fix. If this happens to you, press and hold the power button until all lights go off, about 20 seconds. Wait a minute and turn it back on. Mine was able to pair with my phone again, it did an update and started working again. Overall it works great most of the time, but failing mid market like that is scary. ... show more
