Square payment reader falling asleep

[deboraham12]

Is anyone else having the issue of the square  reader seemingly falling asleep between purchases? My iPad says it's connected but it won't take touchless and it just continues to circle for inserted payments. I have disconnected and reconnected device, bought a new reader, tried it on my phone, installed the update. The only thing that works is turning off the iPad ( 2yrs old only used for checking out clients)  and turning it back on in between each purchase.
