Ratings and reviews

Was great...Now frustrating. I have been using this system since May and it was working great. The last 2 weeks the device is disconnecting and its taking 30-45 minutes to get it reconnected. Going to desperate measures and having to uninstall then re-install the app every time. Week 3 and I'm already having the same problem. This is ridiculous.

Absolutely hate that the change my phone settings every update, which is about every week now. I literally have to text with customer support for 2 hours because they did away with phone support. Their equipment doesn't automatically update even when re-paired and reset from directions from website. This used to be a wonderful app. now it's a bloated mess, 3 steps to find your own equipment. But, they sure want their cut. Just as long as they can sell you more... Right?

Just had the worse Karen of my life yell at me because the square system was acting up. The app said it was accepted and gave me the green check with the last 4 digits of the card, confirming that it was accepted, only to then reset back to the register with the same total. So went back to the trans history and sure enough, there was no charge. So had to ask the client to process the payment one more time, only to show to trans history. So I logged in to the website and sure enough, system down.
