Works well. As does use the phone to take contactless payments. App is attractive. And the reader solid. However. Big minus for me is that the SEARCH function is completely useless and broken in the app. Whatever you search for says 'no results'. Ridiculous especially when you search for a transaction that is top of the list, using every possible descriptor: 'no results'. Also just spins on opening. Even if I open successfully Sumup I go back to Zettle, and it's still spinning...

Overall, it's good. There are some features on the old app that I like better than on zettle.

Is not working with Zettle Card reader. Keeps getting stuck on login page. I log in and it asked me to login again even though I get an email that I successfully logged in.

I am not able to log in to the app. I am stuck on the "Log in with PayPal to continue to Zettle" screen. I called PayPal support, they are unable to help.

None of my staff can log in now that it's not zettle. Customer service couldn't help said we have to wait a week to see if it will allow it again due to us trying too much to use the app! Not happy with the update so far.
