    Not my best experience

    I could not get this reader to consistently connect to the app on my phone. Don't know whether to blame to reader or my wifi access. I called Square's customer service for help and spent an hour on text (they didn't let you talk to them in a phone conversation.), waiting for the person to slowly respond to each step of the conversation. To me, customer support for the item is as important as the item itself.
