Can u download square app on a kindle fire

Not enabeling their product on something that could run it is just limiting their sales of the product. ShirleyMarquez Did you have to do something extra to get it to work? But when I try to connect to my contactless reader I get a "Device not Supported" error. Wondering if you got that and how you got past it? I have not had any issues with the HD 10 so far. But you raise a good question. Square compatibility page:. The only requirement is Android 4. Square, care to toss in your 2 cents why you are not compatible with this Android running recent OS version 5.

The experience is customized like one would adjust colors, backgrounds, sounds, icons, etc. I suspect that a developer overlooked the OS self-defining itself version when the Fire calls itself Fire OS 5 and never planned to really support AOSP Android versions that still meet their minimum requirements. This is however remedied by simply querying the kernel version instead of the OS name which would be the smarter and future proof option in my opinion.

And I can use it with a regular mag swipe reader too. But I want to be able to use the new contactless reader for chip and pin cards.

I think since Amazon has their own version, they'e pulling an apple move and trying to force people to their product instead of something else.

APK file in Android talk, but when you go to pair the contactless reader it will momentarily pair followed by an error to Re-Install the App. So it is NOT compatible at this point unless there's some trickery to get around that issue.

But be careful you get the correct file when installing it you'll see the correct Square Icon. Hope this helps. I tried the Beta Version, which is nicer than the normal, but it would not connect to the reader. Then downloaded the normal regular Square App. The chip reader found it immediately. It works perfect. Does that mean very soon it will not work. People's businesses suddenly not work, seems like a way to alienate customers. I reinstalled the Beta.

Since, I am already connected to the reader is see it also. Learn more about getting started with Square Point of Sale.

Do you know if the Square device will plug into the Fire HD 10 speaker jack? Thank you. This reply was created from merging an existing thread: Kindle Fire. I can't find anything recent from Square that addresses whether a Kindle is compatabile or not. I did find an old thread from about 2 years ago where Square states it is not compatabile, but at least one person found that it did work.
