I have a LTD company on top of an employed job, so the company is just me and its small and I don't really need it to grow. My accountant recommended that I get quick books. It works well, does a good job of keeping track of income and expenditure and the invoicing of customers is very easy. Compared to my old system in which I kept track of accounts using MS Excel and then made a PDF invoice and emailed it to the customer, QuickBooks is excellent, very quick and efficient. I do wish though that I could turn off some features. For instance, there are different types of income and expense, and it suggests that I have different kinds of banking / company credit cards, different business accounts. Some of this is just confusing to me as it is labelled in technical jargon that I don't really understand, I wish I could just turn it off to being income, billable expenses and non billable expenses. The other problem I have is with the invoice numbers. If you forget to specify an invoice number it just defaults to the last one you made. That is maddening. I'd rather it just prompted me to fill the invoice number in. You can customise invoices from a template and that works well, customers tell me that they look clean, crisp and professional and they are easy to pay. Expenses work well, you can create an expense item within an invoice and even attach a receipt or a phot o f a receipt to it, and then decide whether to include those attachments in the invoice sent to the customer. Finally, it talks to my business bank account and so it tallies items in QuickBooks with transactions in the bank, ensuring that both match and querying with you if they don't. In all I think its a really simple to use, great product that makes my small business finances a lot smoother than before, but I wish I could customise and simplify it a bit more.
Great app apart from one thing
cloudbreak79
Great app - I’ve invested in using QuickBooks for nearly a year now but one thing has really got to me. When I signed up it was stated that I could scan my receipts and the data would be automatically extracted for me. Awesome, I thought, I can save hours of manual entry at year end when I’m doing my tax return. Sadly though it seems that information was just plain incorrect and shouldn’t have been listed as a feature. At best a typo, at worst utterly false advertising and when confronting Quickbooks my complaint was completely ignored. No acknowledgement whatsoever that this feature was initially offered despite me sending screenshots of the marketing blurb which was still live on their website right up until, suspiciously, I pointed it out and suddenly it vanished. I just got an email saying that it’s not a feature of my plan (which it definitely was when advertised) and finished with the line “I’m pleased to have sorted out your issue” or similarly annoying phrase. Please don’t ignore your customers Quickbooks - it’s just not nice and a rubbish way to treat the hand that feeds you. Any kind of apology and some kind of good will gesture probably would have done but just ignoring my complaint and denying everything is not cool and certainly makes me think twice about carrying my subscription on. What else have they advertised which isn’t actually a working feature yet?

Thanks for spreading the word about our app, cloudbreak79. It's awesome to hear that you're enjoying QuickBooks' features, and we want to make sure the Online Banking Tool works just as well for you. To clarify, do you run into the same issue after uninstalling the app, reinstalling the latest update (19.1.14), and updating to the latest version of iOS? If so, please send us (QBCares@Intuit.com) screenshots or a recording demonstrating what happens whenever you try to accept a transaction. That way, we can run some tests and use our resources to identify the cause of the issue. All the best. -Kristian, The QuickBooks Team
Still unsuitable for Chartered Accountants
Jdkfcuom
This used to be a superb IPhone app. Then Quickbooks removed the functionality for accountants to inspect their clients’ profit and loss accounts and balance sheets within the app. The IPhone app developed other errors included restricted functionality when switching between our clients within the app. Here is what happened earlier this year when I complained about Quickbooks in a public space such as here in the AppStore, or on Trustpilot. Firstly Quickbooks tried to kill the problem with kindness writing to me publicly to make it look like they were addressing the problem. Secondly they then emailed privately, but deployed their non-English speaking staff who failed to understand the problem. Thirdly when they eventually realised the seriousness of the problem they deployed the correct people who then promised to rectify the problem within a series of timescales, all of which were extended time after time. Eventually the problem remained unaddressed and the specialist staff became uncontactable probably through embarrassment at their various failures to solve the issues. I have email after email after email after email proving all this, promising that these serious problems would be rectified. My conclusion remains the Quickbooks iPhone App is potentially a great product, but if you are a Chartered Accountant currently wanting to use this app to help your clients, FORGET IT. Look at Sage or Xero.
Developer Response
Hi Jdkfcuom. We appreciate you bringing these app issues to our attention, and we'd like an opportunity to redeem your past interactions with us. If any errors persist after you update to the latest version of iOS, reinstall QuickBooks, and refresh its data (via the "Help & Feedback" menu), please send us a screenshot of what you're seeing so we can investigate (QBCares@Intuit.com). If you could also include any case numbers you've received from our support team, it'd be very much appreciated. Once we have this information, we can find your previous emails, get brought up to speed on this situation, and pick up where the previous agents left off. All the best. -Kristian, The QuickBooks Team
Quickbooks itself is good but the app is poor and slow to load
VirtualKiwi
The app takes 18 seconds to load each time it's completely closed with is ridiculous. Why can't you cache some data and load in the background? It's not very customizable, the expenses is clunky, there is a shortcuts option on the 2nd tab but I can't see anyway to modify the shortcuts. The main screen keeps a message about linking accounts but I don't have accounts to link so stop showing me this. Can you allow me to customize the main screen with reports I'd like to see when I open the app?. All in all I'm very surprised that a well known application has such a limited mobile app. The main reason I'd use this, aside from a quick snapshot of my company performance is expenses. If I upload a photo of a receipt I can't open the receipt to view it from within the expenses screen. Sometimes I want to do this to check the amount (I often don't have the physical receipt). All in all a poor app. Come on guys. Please look at your competitors like Zoho Books or others. Update. I tried reinstalling and have the latest SW. No change. Initial open takes 18 secs. I'm in Africa but zoho books and zero were much quicker when I tested them. I'm lookin to switch purely due to the mobile app.
Developer Response
We greatly appreciate your feedback in regards to the mobile app. This doesn't go unheard by our Developers. For the issue regarding the latency when it comes to loading the app, we recommend uninstalling the app, making sure you're on the latest iOS update, restarting your device, and reinstalling the app. This should resolve any issues. Wishing you the best. -Kristina, The QuickBooks Team
