Hello, I received the square card reader and used it twice with success. Before using it with clients, I did the following and it worked.
1. Open the app and enter the amount of the transaction in the appropriate field. 2. Enter a description if I want to do so in the description field. 3. Plug the card reader into the headphone jack. 4. Swipe the card. 5. Unplug the card reader. I discovered that if the card swipe was not successful that I would still be in the amount and description screen after unplugging the reader, but if swiping was successful then after unplugging the reader I would automatically land in the signature screen. I then turn VO off for signing the screen, and then turn VO back on to activate the continue button. Everything from that point is a breeze. BTW, I found that if I am using my Plantronics bluetooth headphones and I plug the reader into the headphone jack, I lose VO until I unplug the reader. I also noticed that the tip of the plug on the reader is a bit different from the stereo tip on earbuds or headphones. If I plug the reader and earbuds into a splitter, will the reader actually still work properly?

I use square myself. It's a great business tool for what I need. My work around on the sound jack being used by the square is either a splitter, I plug square into one jack and used to plug my Icom into another. Now, when I can I use blue-tooth, or my braille display, which gets round the sound problem neatly for me. Hope this helps.
