  3. [R14] Invoice Simple 5/5 · US TIRES DIRECT INTERNATIONAL: I would recommend Invoice Simple to anybody who has a business or starting out. I’m a tire mobile installer and been looking for an Invoice company where I can send my customers immediate pricing etc. most company don’t offer SMS text messaging only by email but Invoice does. This makes closing the sales more attainable rather than a prolong email and awaited response.
  4. [R24] Invoice Simple 3/5 · US Estimates feature broken: I tried using the estimates function to send quotes before invoicing, and it’s a cọmplete mess. Numbers don’t calculate right, discounts get dropped, and converting to invoice just duplicates everything. 😮‍💨 I’ve had clients call me confused because they got two totally different totals for the same job. That’s not how you build trust in a business relationship. Plus, for
  5. [R1] Invoice Simple 1/5 · US Terrible!: I have had this app since 2018 It’s impressive how bad this app has become. -They keep raising the price of the app -They have now reduced the amount of invoices I can make each month so it’s not viable for an actual business -I have to modify invoices several times to get them to save (took 10 mins and 8 attempts to mark an invoice as paid) Very disappointed, at one point this a

  8. [R4] Invoice Simple 1/5 · US Terrible customer service: I have used this app for years and also purchased the unlimited version. But as of 2 months ago I can no longer print or email any invoices/ estimates to my clients. All I get is an error message.

  9. [R8] Invoice Simple 5/5 · US Major bug: Something is wrong it won’t let me print or send pdf every new invoice or estimate I have to delete and download the app to send each invoice or estimate
  10. [R30] Invoice Simple 3/5 · US Invoices go to spam: Multiple clients have told me their invoices ended up in spam. I tested it myself, same result. 📬 This is a professional tool, and the fact that your emails aren’t authenticated properly is mind-blowing. You’re literally killing my cash flow. I shouldn't have to follow up to make sure someone even got the invoice.
  11. [R3] Invoice Simple 3/5 · US App is good but: The app is good, support is ok when it goes down, no customer service phone Have been using it for 4 years and every year a price increase started at $99.00 then 149.99 and now $219.99 a 47 percent increase (Crazy)especially for a small business
  12. [R7] Invoice Simple 1/5 · US Greedy: I’ve been paying for this app for years. They recently reduced the number of invoices per month to THREE. That’s PAID. The upcharge is ridiculous. This doesn’t need to be a subscription in the first place. It’s a static tool. They already try and push you to use their billing services and take a cut. Now they’re pushing the subscription tiers by reducing offered services to existing users.

  15. [R16] Invoice Simple 1/5 · US Wolfe: What ever you do don’t buy the Invoice Simple. I’ve given them more then a month to fix an issue & it still hasn’t been fixed. They don’t have any back end support. Which means if you have a problem they have no way to fix it. I’ve had the app since 2018. Running 2 companies with it. Recently I had multiple problems with it over a several week period. I made them aware of it with over a d
  16. [R22] Invoice Simple 1/5 · US Charged me $199.00 and never activated my account again.: Be careful with this company when they renew your membership, they charge you $200 and then the system will never let you create an invoice without upgrading. There’s no need to upgrade. I just paid you. I had talked to Customer Service and they have given me no answers. I am still without $200 and just basically communicating with AI. Buye
  17. [R21] Invoice Simple 3/5 · US The app works the company is increasing yearly price by 400%: There have been yearly (or more often) price increases and now they are increasing from my current price on mobile for unlimited invoices at $45usd to $200usd to maintain unlimited invoicing. A 400% increase is just a start and as often as they raise prices this seems like a bad bad move. Be warned about price increases. As far as the a
  18. [R71] Invoice Maker 1/5 · US Why should I pay you when I want it for my own personal in use?: This is Crazy do you want me to buy something from you and then pay you just to use it are you friggin nuts?
  19. [R73] Invoice Maker 1/5 · US Payment is needed for everything: I won’t lie and say this app is the worst but you can’t even send the invoice or take a screenshot without the app asking for a subscription.
