PayPal Here Reader Not Connecting

I had a problem getting my iPhone 6 to connect to the reader (I have used it previously so it has worked) - Went into the Bluetooth settings and told it to 'Forget' it. Put the reader into pairing mode... doesn't show up.

 

Reset the reader back to Factory Defaults, Bluetooth light blinking quickly but still not showing up on my phone within the Bluetooth settings. Tried it with my iPad and my partner's iPhone 5 - still not showing up.

 

Struggling to think of something else to try - any ideas?!

I'm having the same problem with my Galaxy S7, it can't find the Paypal Here card reader. Bluetooth lights are flashing, but no bluetooth device can be found from the Phone or my tablet.
