FreshBooks Invoicing App

I use Xero on an ongoing basis and one of my businesses and freshbooks for my own personal accounting. I’m sure it is more powerful and i know I’m not using it to its fullest capacity, but for everything that I need to do, it is great, and I love the user experience. Its more fun than Xero.

Easy to follow and to use. Love it.

Setup was quick sent an invoice within about 10min if install. May need some more customization for New Zealand.

Love it!

I was hoping to be a Quickbooks Self Employed convert but the app is unusable. It also does not track mileage accurately nor does it track every trip.

They keep insisting that I signed up through App Store (I didn’t), and will not let me cancel on desktop. Using support is difficult. There are better apps by better companies. Find them.

The desktop version is very streamlined so I was surprised to find out that the mobile app is essentially useless. It has very limited functionality and a clumsy and frustrating interface. Outside of time tracking it doesn’t seem to have much of a purpose at all.

I have been using FreshBooks on the web on my computer for several years now. Unfortunately, the phone app has never been usable, despite the updates. It simply doesn’t sync with my data from the web. It consistently doesn’t update my clients, invoices, estimates, etc - either one or some combination. This is especially annoying when I am on site without my computer and I’m trying to look something up for a client on my phone, but I can’t because the phone app is unusable.

The mileage tracker is what finally sold me on FreshBooks. Unfortunately it does not live up to its promise. It’s often wildly inaccurate - it breaks up trips into multiple legs - and when you finally give up and try to edit manually - it doesn’t give you the actual mile calculation.

I like the software but its a shame that still has a lot of performance issues, bug -You have very limited options from the cellphone app, I cant see accounting reports from cellphone, can’t filter expenses, can’t manage projects from cellphones -Mile tracker isn’t accurate, can’t track a full trip -bugs in the dashboard, it does not let you to type or choose date -very limited option on estimate and invoice temples I cant modify or adjust to mine needs It does not show full text when typing a description -it should notify every time a customer sees your invoices like other competitors softwares do For what they charging they should put more effort and attention to the client needs Its like the app was designed functional enough to just sell subscriptions I hope you they’ll fix it because I really like the app
