QuickBooks Desktop 4+

My first thought was that this would be an awesome app to use! Snap take a picture and then look at it via vendor management was great! But when I got to the actual receipt management, part of it, I could only select my bank account. I wanted to put my credit card receipts on there via the snap mobile. My credit card should not be a bank account. I should be able to label it as BP card and add it to that card. The next thing that was disheartening, what’s the fact that I had to scroll through every single account to find the account I wanted to post it too! Why can’t I just start typing my description of the expense account???? Too much time involved! Make some changes to this and this could be perfect and well worth it!

The snap a receipt seems to work which is a timesaver, however the mileage app is somewhat pointless for my needs. If you have to stop and enter the starting location and then the ending location then why not just start the trip meter in the vehicle and record the mileage at the end of the day. It would be also hard to record service calls where the starting and stopping point is the same and the customer(s) are somewhere in the loop. We can hope that Quickbooks will continue to improve this feature till it’s actually functional for a service based company.

The new update doesn’t allow for camera access! Clearly a bug. I was able to login to my account and see my companies. After selecting “snap” to take a picture of a receipt a message popped up “Allow access to Photos”. I went into my iPhone settings for the app, QuickBooks Desktop’ and found no switch or buttons to allow access to either my camera nor photos. I then when into my photos app and looked for apps that request access. QuickBooks Desktop was not listed. It appears QuickBooks Desktop is not ask for access nor provides a way to allow access. I’ve used the older version for roughly a year and have had great success but this update is not good.
