### 1/5 — Don’t use this!

*2025-07-03*

If you’re wondering whether to buy/use this system - DON’T!! It works less than 50% of the time and customer support don’t know how to fix either.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2025-01-10*

Don’t start it as it is a waste of time. They told me that my phone wasn’t one of the last generation so that’s why wasn’t working. I bought almost £1000 phone and still not working. Totally useless and the service provided on the phone lines is so rubbish that can’t figure out what is going on.

### 1/5 — Mr

*2024-08-01*

Rubbish just rubbish let me down every time

### 1/5 — Bad. Just awful.

*2024-07-16*

Multiple times I’ve been locked out due to a bug. Does it get fixed? Nope. I’m paying for this awful service and am contemplating leaving for Sumup.

### 1/5 — Useless for support

*2024-06-13*

Going around and around with support team and still not being able to sort out my problem. So it is a made decision to leave the company and move to a different one.

### 1/5 — Avoid!

*2024-05-22*

Avoid at all costs. As a small business owner- I thought this was a solution for card payments. The app is glitchy, the hardware is ancient and out of date, and payments are not guaranteed to have been successful even if it says it is. I will be closing my Barclaycard account entirely.
Plenty of reviews saying the same- do your research!

### 1/5 — Absolutely Useless

*2024-03-06*

Avoid at all cost. Setup was never possible without the support staff on phone taking you through the process. Technically rubbish system with least GUI friendliness.  I had Paid over a grand to exhibit at a retail show for 2 days and then on the day, the app locked me out due to the bug (which they later acknowledged). You could only unlock using their online portal. I didn’t have my laptop with me hence couldn’t fix the issue but so glad I had SumUp  as a backup. I see no value in Barclay payment system. If you are to use it, please do keep a backup option. If you don’t believe me then see the overall score this app has here..

### 1/5 — Can’t work my costumes today, please help, who ?

*2024-02-29*

Please help, merchant stop working today suddenly. Big effect my business.

### 1/5 — Haven’t ever managed to log on.

*2024-01-31*

When they changed the app I was asked for info I couldn’t provide even though I imagine it was embedded somewhere in the old one. I voted with my feet and just went back to using my old reader from another provider. Problem solved. Barclays you are costing yourselves money.

### 2/5 — Unreliable

*2024-01-13*

Works for a few months then suddenly locks you out and you have to phone India, on the phone for nearly an hour, twice now in a week.
