EasyBooks Accounting, Invoices 4+

Latest version doesn’t work on my iPad

I very much enjoy using this product. It has made my business worry free Since as a service center all my work is in the field. I need to be able to operate mobile every day. I enjoy the reports generated especially during tax season. I enjoy the many features of this program. Tracking of all my customers and vendors is great. As a service center I can easily write up invoices and print them or email them immediately to my customers. However in your most recent update something happened in the software and I can no longer use the program on my IPAD. At first I thought I may need to update to a newer IPAD i checked with a friend of mine who operates an electronic store and we checked on a newer IPAD and the same thing happens. The program starts to open and then closes. So now I have gone back to hand writing invoices to my customers. Plus I can’t access any of my customers or vendors while in the field. Can you help with this I really don’t look forward to having to change accounting programs that would be a total nightmare.

Astonishingly awful

First off let me say I have been a professional bookkeeper and tax preparer for over 15 years. I switched careers to insurance agent and wanted to find a program/app I could use straight on my iPad. Most of the bad reviews on the App Store are over a year old so I decided to give it a try. Didn’t find anywhere in the store that said I would only get “X” amount of transactions. Didn’t describe the extra features or the cost of them on the App Store either. So I downloaded, signed up, went through the 4 step tutorial. It wouldn’t even let me put my company name in when I created a new company. Then I start entering backdated sales. Because I started 2 weeks ago I have 2+ weeks on commissions and expenses to enter. Low and behold... I enter 5 sales and it tells me I have reached my limit. Doesn’t say if I will be able to enter 5 more transactions tomorrow for free or if that is permanently the only free transactions I get.

So after using the program less than 5 mins I am forced to make a choice to spend money or find something else... Seeing as it is 230 in the morning; I think I will call it a night and continue my software search in the morning, along with uninstalling this catastrophe for my iPad and closing out the account online.

Note to developers: money isn’t everything... try lowering your level of greed and you might get more people interested and better ratings.

Best double entry accounting software out there for iOS

My wife and I have used easy books to manage our personal finances since 2011. It’s the best balance of simple and powerful. The data synchronization across devices makes things easy, and the split screen on iPad is a must when reconciling bank statements. Although it is targeted toward small businesses, we find it to be good for personal finances because it is unopinionated in its workflow, allowing us to leverage off of standard accounting practices rather than fight a tool that thinks it knows how to manage our finances better than we do.
