    Reader works great and functions as intended. If you have signed up for a square account a card reader is included for free as well as your smart phone turns into a credit card Tap device. Therefore, this extra device is not necessary. The only downfall this device has, is you cannot tell if it is powered on or how to turn it off.

    when it works it's great. We had to exchange the first one we bought since it stopped working right when we needed it a at a farmer's market... so that was pretty bad. The new one seems to be working OK. Very easy to tap or insert the cards. Easy to use interface on the phone too.

    I think it looks nice to have as a business versus the swipe. I kept dropping the swipe reader and having to buy a new one. So if you are accident prone like me, invest in the flat one upfront
