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 product but had trouble figuring out how to use it with my phone. I think it should come with more directions.

    Bought this to work with an IPAD for taking cards. The biggest draw back i've found is that it DOES NOT work if you have a protective case on the IPAD. That is because the connecter isn't long enough to reach past the case and plug in securely.
