    Works with Android or iPhone. Ability to swipe or read chip worked for months. Then it stopped reading either way and I had to manually input cc numbers which costs higher fees.

    I bought 2 of these, 1 worked fine and the other one broke after the first day of use. I tried to exchange the defective item and Best Buy would not exchange it. They now have a 15 day return policy. I bought it 29 days ago and could not use it until yesterday. I will be purchasing all my other electronics elsewhere from now on. They are no longer a "best buy" retailer for me.

    I love the convenience of using the square. But, I believe the fees are too high. Will not be using too often.

    This is the best merchant type account for small businesses on the go. They have the best fees regardless of the credit card. Plus if you don't use it you don't pay a i have it fee.

    No customer service

    This review is based solely on the customer service at square. The reader works fine. The problem is that if you have any problems with anything, there is no way to speak to an actual person. My CC number was stolen and my card was replicated. The perpetrators used a square device to test the new card by charging $1 on it. Luckily, my CC company caught in time. When I attempted to contact square to speak to someone in customer service, it was not possible without their authorization. It took four emails and four days to get ANY response. They basically told me they'd handle it internally. I just hope nothing goes wrong with a transaction.
