While some users mention higher than expected fees, the device's performance is generally well-received. A notable limitation is the lack of a chip reader in some models.

Best Deal
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not only is it amazing that the card reader is free after using a redemption code from square, but it is also incredibly convenient. It is a perfect size, I can easily take it off and put it in my pocket when not in use. Also, the app is incredibly easy and fun to use. People are always amazed when I process a transaction from my phone.
