It's fine for what it is. I like the new features, but it keeps doing this thing where it runs a card, approves it, and then the next time I try to run a card, the last sale is still in the "cart". I have to check my transactions to make sure the sale REALLY went through and then restart the app to clear the cart again. Which is. Irritating. Thankfully all my customers have been understanding, but it's still kind of a ball-ache to have to explain every time.

Hate it after the recent upgrade. Every time I pick up my phone to make a new sale, it disconnects the card reader and forces the app to reconnect to square and reload the app, even though it's still running in the background. Very frustrating. This causes a big delay when trying to do a transaction with a customer standing in front of me.

A great way to process credit cards but the hardware that you have to pay for is junk and the software has many bugs such as collecting taxes and charging for taxes. 3 years later talking to customer service many times, buying another reader... and they still have done nothing to solve the connectivity problem with the RFID Square reader and App software.
