It seems that for a while now, the iPad version of the Square for Retail app has been getting slow and laggy. Some of it can seems to be intentional design too. The cash drawer used to open instantly when tapping the cash button, but now it takes like 3 seconds while waiting for a screen transition to completely finish before it decides to open the drawer. The checkout doesn't completely clear after a finished sale for few seconds, and then poof, ready to go. And the number entry for the manual credit card has gotten less responsive. Now, these might seem nitpicky, but we get customers in large bursts at a time; and being able to quickly process them and get them through is important. One of the reasons we liked square was the tap and go payments and easy to scan item library checkout. But these recent updates are getting annoyingly slow.
