I've been using for years and the latest versions have been super buggy. The reader constantly loses connection and can only reconnect if the app is closed and reopened. Even if my phone is near it. Sometimes the amount from the previous transaction will still be displayed and can't be deleted. I use it for several hours at a time and I'm having to restart the app a dozen times each hour when things are busy. These are ongoing issues with multiple phones.

I have been using app for a 3 years now. It worked flawlessly until 11/2/24. If tablet goes to sleep for several minutes, I get the reader unable to connect message. I have to either close app and reopen or turn Bluetooth off and on to get it to reconnect. I have done all the trouble shooting and Square support's answer is a new tablet. Nope, I have tried on my brand new phone running Android 14, same issues. Unbelievable and Support is no help.

Constantly need to login multiple times and go through a 2-step verification. It wouldn't be a big issue if the fact you could change whose phone number is connected to the app, which it is not. Also, the app doesn't like to open, so I'm stuçk constantly having to uninstall, reinstall, then go through a third party to login.
