Does not stay connected

No matter how many times I connect my reader, it will not stay connected. Even Square doesn’t think there is a reader to connect to

No longer stays connected

My scanner no longer stays connected. As soon as I switch to a different app the scanner is no longer connected until I switch back into this app and it only stays connected as long as I’m in this app. I can’t use scanseries or any other app.

Pointless

Pointless app that requests you to turn non Bluetooth... when it’s already on

Unhappy

This scanner constantly needing reconfiguration will drain your sanity daily until you are committed to an asylum.

Glitches

I used to be able to see the battery level of my device now it doesn’t show me on the app. I basically never know how much battery is left on my s800 also I have the vibrate when scan switch off but it still vibrates
