  1. [R5] Intuit QuickBooks for Business 4/5 · GB As a non accountant it requires learning a new thing that is not as easy: It’s okay, I like how it identifies transactions on my account and it makes it easy for me to consolidate them later. I always do the same things because the app has a lot of things and it can be a bit overt, but it’s alright. It’s best to have the app, because it’s almost mission impossible to find the website to sign in to
  2. [R12] Intuit QuickBooks for Business 1/5 · GB Not on the side of small business ‘s: Like many others on here I had to swap over from self employed to a new more expensive piece of software. Zero guidance on this just you can’t down load. After a good hour n the phone was told I should upgrade to the more expensive version which in hindsight offers me nothing this was just about quickbooks profits. What have a got from this upgrade a useless
  3. [R20] Intuit QuickBooks for Business 1/5 · GB Removing core features instead of adding new ones: Really disappointed they removed things. It’s now harder to make invoices on the phone. No way to settle multiple invoices under one payment anymore. Going backwards. Regret using quickbooks for my limited
  4. [R50] Intuit QuickBooks for Business 1/5 · GB Don’t trust it: Takes ages to load company profile when logging in, sometimes not even at all, requires app closure and reopen. Pain to attach receipts to bank transactions, qb self employed so was much simpler. Mileage tracker seems to have stopped tracking journeys. Products and services to not pull from previously created products and services when creating new invoices for the same/repeat c
  5. [R1] Intuit QuickBooks for Business 1/5 · GB Read before downloading: Do not download this app. It’s a Beta version. They told me to download this app to replace the old. Now all my contacts, invoices, bank accounts are all wrong and the AI is trying to get me to remember everything and manually change it. But how am I to remember everything. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!!! They won’t let you go back to old app once you change. God knows how much money
  6. [R3] Intuit QuickBooks for Business 3/5 · GB Too complicated: From an interface where you could just swipe left and right it has become much more complicated now and I accept that some of that is obviously due to the making tax digital however the whole interface is just no longer intuitive. It is sadly like slogging through treacle trying to get the right account to the right expense. Thankfully my bank has offered me a version for free, i
  7. [R8] Intuit QuickBooks for Business 4/5 · GB Can’t add receipts: Must be a bug at moment can’t add receipts ,Attachment button ain’t working Should add a more simple way to link with HMRC … don’t understand the current set up Simplify it a link on home page straight forward

  9. [R6] Intuit QuickBooks for Business 3/5 · GB Great app when it works: Have been using QuickBooks for a few years now but unfortunately recently I cannot access the app via my iPhone which is extremely frustrating when I’m always on the go.

  10. [R7] Intuit QuickBooks for Business 1/5 · GB App stopped working: This app no longer opens
  11. [R9] Intuit QuickBooks for Business 3/5 · GB The app needs work: The app ran without issue until recently and now it is very buggy. Can’t add receipts to bank transactions and random error codes every other day. I have reinstalled and refreshed and done all the things suggested.
  12. [R10] Intuit QuickBooks for Business 1/5 · GB Buggy and not intuitive to use: Keep finding bugs, milage tracking works sometimes but not others, the snap expense thing fails to upload most of the time and when i try and turn a bill into an expense it errors. iPad app hides the done/save buttons at the bottom behind the KB and sometimes will not let you click. The only reason I’m staying is i only paid £12 for the year which is reasonable and
  13. [R16] Intuit QuickBooks for Business 1/5 · GB Immediately overcharged… No refund available: I signed up for the 99p a month and was immediately charged £12 for the month, with an ongoing rate of £12 a month. I cannot get in contact with anybody to get a refund so I've had to cancel. I cannot get to speak to anybody or text anybody. Bunch of crooks.
  14. [R14] Intuit QuickBooks for Business 1/5 · GB Re update on app does not work: New update on this app is now unusable. unable to raise invoices on phone, as app just crashes unable to access banking feed on phone app as the app crashes and resets Unable to get any support from Quickbooks support avoid this app

  16. [R48] Intuit QuickBooks for Business 1/5 · GB Today’s update has made the app unusable, again: When they update expect issues. Now I can’t spend the day as planned prepping my VAT return. Ai support useless and human support friendly but apparently they are not trained on the app. Amazing value for my near £50 a month. Sarcasm intended.
  17. [R13] Intuit QuickBooks for Business 1/5 · GB Worlds most buggy app: By god this app will drive you insane! Data is cloud based from what I can tell, and every time you go to make an invoice you have ti log in(with google verification) When it eventually loads takes about 2-4 minutes using cellular data. You search for customers and it hasn’t loaded their names in, eventually it does, so you generate an invoice, now if your phone signal shoul
  18. [R19] Intuit QuickBooks for Business 1/5 · GB Slow and crashes: I can’t recommend this app. It’s extremely poor and frustrating the hell out of me.
  19. [R25] Intuit QuickBooks for Business 1/5 · GB Unusable won’t even load: As a paying subscriber, I rely on QuickBooks every day to run my business. Unfortunately, the iPhone app has become almost completely unusable. Most of the time it won’t even load, leaving me staring at the splash screen or waiting indefinitely. This isn’t a free app. It’s a paid business subscription that I depend on to manage my finances, yet it’s so unreliable that I
  20. [R30] Intuit QuickBooks for Business 1/5 · GB Unworkable. Constantly freezes: Fails to load beyond the Home Screen. Constantly freezes. Latest update is a total waste of time. Makes running a business virtually impossible.
  21. [R2] Intuit QuickBooks for Business 5/5 · GB Mr Neil Boulton: The changes you’ve made haven’t helped at all, don’t know why you change things to make it harder to use 😢
  22. [R11] Intuit QuickBooks for Business 1/5 · GB Awful: I was transferred over from the other version which was perfect. This app is awful, it doesn’t load properly. All of my invoices are now unpaid and I can’t do anything about it. Absolutely awful
