Bluetooth connection with card reader always takes an embarrassing amount of time if you haven't taken a payment within the last few minutes. Often have to switch the card reader off and on again to make it work (much like you would have done 20 years ago). Now the last update appears to have gotten rid of dark mode which, when you work in a taxi at night, is pretty annoying. May consider switching to another provider soon.

Edit: new software, new reader, new owners! We shall see. Great to failing in two months. I have used this reader and phone to take sporadic payments over the last year, and before that with my old Android phone. It was always good, turn it on and it worked. Today, it didn't work. At all. I've spent 2 hours playing with it, and now at least it starts trying to do the reader update, but it loses connectivity at 32%, time and again. Rubbish. Customer today fortunately had cash!

"The easy POS"? I wouldn't know! When trying to sign in to the app, after entering my email address it diverts to the browser-based PayPal sign-in page to enter the password. Since you need to be in the app (not in PayPal) to connect and link the card reader to your phone, I cannot link the reader so that's as far as I've got. Awaiting a reply from support but not a great start. EDIT: I DID follow the relevant setup instructions but as I said, it diverts to the browser, differs from the setup.
