The swiping and product listing work well. The checking account and savings account access are horrific and not very user friendly. My goal was to have everything in a nice easy to use point of sale, to checking and savings (which do work). But, the dashboard is so poorly set up. I'm already looking to switch back to a normal bank. Maybe, it's a little bit me? But, I do have multiple online banking accounts and this is by far the least intuitive or user friendly of all of them.

App crashes after 5 seconds. I've cleared the cache, restarted it multiple times, and it still crashes every time. Says this app has a bug. Please wait for the developer to fix it. So I doubt I can trust this for future Vending opportunities. This is very, very disappointing. Edit: apparently there was a disruption to services today. So I'll change my rating from one star to four

Hi there, Mike. We were experiencing a disruption to some Square services today. Everything should be working as intended. We understand it can be frustrating when software is not working properly. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us directly should you need further assistance. We hope to regain your trust in the future.

You've had lots of these reports. See the 1 & 2 star reviews. It used to be great but in 2020 I (and other vendors at fairs) noticed the chip reader was going slower and disconnecting after every transaction. After having me try a few things, Support blames AT&T, AT&T says it's not on their end so I paid more for a hotspot. Now it's even slower and still disconnects every transaction. UGH! My profits are based on speed. This just isn't working. I need to find a solution.
