After installing app on my phone I went through a verification process which the app warned might take 72 hours. After 72 hours the app disappeared. Called the app up in playstore again, which provided new app for update. But this had no record of myaccount set up from a few days before. Tried to install new account. This does not recognise device, but offers mareting services (unwanted) and insists on debiting for a new device. Unable to contact Square on their website to sort . Therefore uninstalled from my phone. I've had no use of device so am returning. ## Features - SIMPLE, SMART, SQUARE: Made for smaller independent retailers, hospitality businesses, market traders and service providers who need a reliable, professional way to take card payments - whether at a fixed counter or on the move - UNBOX AND START SELLING: Includes Square Reader (2nd gen) plus free Square POS software.
