Review: Great product and works with Square - So far, I love this thing. It does sometimes have a hard time seeing your iPhone when it hasn’t been operational for awhile, but I have always gotten it working. Works great with square and you can even add your logo...
Review: Expensive piece of junk - Sporadically wouldn’t charge at the beginning now after 4 months it is toast and I bought a buttload of the paper to go with it. AND it’s too late to return. Pretty pricey little item to work for only 4 months.

### ⭐ Expensive piece of junk
*by D***F on October 19, 2018*

Sporadically wouldn’t charge at the beginning now after 4 months it is toast and I bought a buttload of the paper to go with it. AND it’s too late to return. Pretty pricey little item to work for only 4 months.

Super easy setup, lightning fast printing, and immediately worked with Square ( after setting up the default receipt printer on the square app ). I love this thing so far.
