Customers are saying

Customers are enthusiastic about the Reader for Magstripe, particularly its ease of use and compatibility with devices like iPads. Many appreciate its overall performance, reasonable price, and compact size, which is convenient for business use. While the lightning connector is a plus for secure connections and the reader is generally fast, some users have noted issues with the instructions and the card reader's ability to read all cards.

    I like the Meg strip Chip much better than the actual glossy white connector. It is faster and works right away..

    This one was cheap and works great. Also purchased a warranty just in case it breaks or stops reading cards. And they give me a new one.

    Got tired of using my headphone adapter with the older version. This works well and really seems to have less trouble reading cards since this is a wide connector instead of round. The reader doesn't turn as the card swipes through like it did with the round headphone connector.

    It sometimes doesn't work at all or only occasionally. But every square I've had is inconsistent so it's nothing new
