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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    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.

    The magstripe reader is really nice. It's easy to setup, so easy, my 15 year old daughter set it up. And it works as stated. Makes transactions so much easier when cash is not.an option.

    It did what it was supposed to. There are more advanced card readers out there. I wish you would have gotten one of those right away.
