  1. [R4] Zoho Invoice Maker App 2/5 · US No: My invoice never sends, it just saves as a draft and my customer never receives it. There isn’t an option when your done creating your invoice to send it, it just give me the option to save. App seems very simple to navigate but does not do the one thing I need it to do. Which is send an invoice.
  2. [R5] Zoho Invoice Maker App 5/5 · US Great Tool: I have been using this app for the last 5 or so months and have been loving it. I have Jobber but I am a solo operator and jobber right now is just out of my price point right now. I saw this app come up and thought I would try it. I was PLEASANTLY Surprised. It has just almost much features as jober and you don’t have to pay the 45 plus a month subscription for it. The only downside I
  3. [R6] Zoho Invoice Maker App 3/5 · GB Would recommend however: Love the app, but even on the paid version. Doesn’t seem to remove their branding in the footer. Maybe just a glitch my end but nonetheless. Also the customisation of the invoice and estimates could do with being much more in depth as it’s quite limited on what you can do.
  4. [R13] Zoho Invoice Maker App 1/5 · US WAS GREAT BUT NOW IS BAD: CAN’T CUSTOMIZE TEMPLATES. STAY AWAY FROM
  5. [R1] Zoho Invoice Maker App 1/5 · US Not User Friendly Initially: I finally decided to use the ZOHO Invoice app to create an invoice because a customer and friend had recommended the app. I was hoping to open the app and learn in realtime to send an invoice for a job just completed, but find it difficult to accomplish a quick first invoice. It’s possible after using and studying I’ll have a different viewpoint, but since the pop-up

  8. [R11] Zoho Invoice Maker App 5/5 · US Great for small businesses: I love this app, super easy to use and the other applications let’s you build out from it and I plan in the future to expand into Zoho books.

  13. [R23] Zoho Invoice Maker App 2/5 · US Payment gateways: I can’t connect Square or I don’t have a ACH option like I’ve been seeing on all these Zoho invoice maker tutorials, support is slow, can’t get paid atm
  14. [R37] Zoho Invoice Maker App 1/5 · GB Poor and untimely customer service!: The response time for Customer support is terrible. The OneAuth app is so frustrating if it crashes. It won’t let you back in even when you have all the credentials. Forces you to reach out to support and then they take forever to respond. I’d suggest using a different Invoicing platform.
  15. [R41] Zoho Invoice Maker App 2/5 · GB Bad for Customisation, Customer Service and Multi-Currency!!: I was really happy using this at first for my uk only invoices. But when I went use it for a client’s international business it became very complicated to customise to multi currency. We didn’t want ‘payment options’ link on the template as well but couldn’t find a way to remove it. I contacted customer services by email and got no repl
  16.

  17. [R14] Zoho Invoice Maker App 5/5 · US Unbelievably FREE: The best I have used so far, thank you ZOHO!
  18. [R61] Billdu 2/5 · US Love the app (but always dealing with bugs): First off, I’ve used this app for over 5 years now and have paid for premium for the entire time. I absolutely love Billdu more than any other estimating app, and I’ve tried them all. My issues- it always seems to be bugged, new ones pop up, they take care of it and then new bugs come up again. It’s frustrating. The newest issue is that all my estimat

  20. [R64] Billdu 1/5 · US app is currently unuasbale: literally can’t function on this app with all the billing names of invoices constantly disappearing it’s driving me crazy i’m fighting not to switch as i’m comfortable with the app but if they can’t fix this bug it’s not usable normally bugs get fixed fast but it’s been weeks
  21. [R73] Billdu 1/5 · US Support is Horrendous: Support for the application is horrific. If you have any issues or upgrade, the application may not work and trying to get someone online is next to impossible.

  23. [R66] Billdu 3/5 · US Great app, but little pricey: I like the app but it is a bit expensive and has some minor issues, but makes onsite billing easy.
  24. [R67] Billdu 1/5 · US Money hole App: I’ve been using this app for almost 2 years now . This app is a money hole and that’s being minus about what I should really say. They charge 1499 a month to be able to add clients send out estimates keep track of everything. But you can only have so many clients saved before they’re asking for more money a month to be able to add more people to your contacts. Still in search of an
  25. [R77] Billdu 5/5 · US Very good: Muy buena aplicación
  26. [R98] Billdu 1/5 · GB Scam: Be careful that when you buy a plan and use multiple companies, you actually have to pay for each one. They say this update is from June 2023. But, it doesn't specify anywhere when you buy the first plan.
