Review: Great product and works with Square - So far, I love this thing. It does sometimes have a hard time seeing your iPhone when it hasn’t been operational for awhile, but I have always gotten it working. Works great with square and you can even add your logo...
Review: Very expensive paper weight - After 7 short months (wrnty is only 6mo) it won’t come on unless constantly plugged into an outlet :( it also at about 3month started to leave a white vertical line down the tickets.
