Things were all right then they released the elite version. Ever since then they’ve cut features and increased price. Currently paying $10 a month for five documents. I’ll find somewhere else to spend my money thank you. Not that great -- Happy guy 56, 2024-12-11 ### **--- "Expand Button" The expand button on estimates and invoices needs to be expanded by default. I can not tell you how many times I’ve had to tell clients that they can see a complete breakdown of charges IF they can click that almost hidden, terribly placed button. Please for the love of Christopher Columbus, have all photos and line items visible by default. On that note, with as much as we pay for this app year round, we need to be able to upload a lot more photos. Not only to line items but at the end of the invoice. Right now it’s set up as child’s play with 4 photos max per item and 20 max total as the footer attachment. Please, put the subscription money to use. Thank you. -- SleevelessSteve, 2024-12-06 ### *---- "I cant make the payment!" Doesn’t show on the apple subscription to make a payment on the app is not possible, Why is so hard to update a payment on this! -- Euluishave, 2024-12-04 ### *---- "I can’t cancel this App" I’m trying to unsubscribe this app because I got my Wix website but I can’t cancel this app, I’m really upset about this app! -- lets go Brandon !! MAGA, 2024-11-21 ### *---- "Very unstable app with horrible customer service" I purchased this app and was able to use it a hand full of times before it quit working. Contacted customer support and was told I had not paid account and then I provided proof and was then Informed I will need to contact Apple support to get a refund and to cancel subscription and re purchase. No thank you, very disappointed in the customer service such a same because the app was great if it would just work. -- JmHandymanservices, 2024-11-15 ### ***** "Great app" I have been using Joist for several years. I find it very effective in several aspects of my business. Quote presentation, invoicing and payment reconciliation are very professional. -- The1handyman, 2024-11-13 ### *---- "Free my as&" So you use our help to improve your app only to make us pay years later I’m personally going to create my own app to compete with yours I plan to crush you!!! -- Rainymadman, 2024-11-04 ### *---- "The worse app" They put up a pay wall and hijacked my invoices. Now i can’t get access without paying them. -- Cooter_BroWn, 2024-10-31 ### *---- "Charges" I went to log in to my account. Lo and behold! I CAN’T?!! Unless I pay $13.99 a month out $140.00 for the year up front. This ought to be illegal as all my legal business documents are no longer accessible to me. This is a huge disappointment and down right appalling. -- dazzolini, 2024-10-28 ### ***** "Needs an Offline Mode" I love the app, it’s perfect for what i need it, except of one thing. I wish you guys would make it work offline. I am a contractor and a lot of the time there’s no internet connection at a client’s house. I have to leave their house without showing them the estimate or them signing it and sending it to them afer i get out of there and it’s very inconvenient. Im sure im not the only one in need of this app to work offline. -- mpowermafia, 2024-10-23 ### *---- "WORTHLESS Buyer beware" Almost ruined our company the first day we started. Took days to get Credit payment up and running. The customer service is worthless. They know nothing and just keep creating these “tickets” escalating yea even when it is NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING. Don’t waste your time or your money!!! WORST THREE DAYS OF MY LIFE!!! Almost ruined a 5 year old business RUNNNNNNN!!!! -- MyTruth_Joe, 2024-10-16 ### *---- "Shady Switch-a-Roo" Zero Stars & Zero Free Services… after years of free services! Just one day they decided to be greedy and switch their trusted format from helping small businesses to only helping the pockets of Joist. First it was unlimited invoices for free a month with certain services needing a paid subscription. Then, it went to 5 free invoices a month… then even that was taken away! Now you have to pay for everything! Even locked businesses out of there accounts!!! Unless we pay money to retrieve our data! Crooks! Seriously!?!? Not even a Grandfather plan for people who’ve been here from the beginning, helped spread the word, and help it grow!? Terrible, back stabbing practices. I hope everyone leaves you, since you’re trying to extort us. I’ve been trying to get my data for 3 months and they won’t give it to me. -- CR_82, 2024-10-12 ### *---- "Don’t use this app" Loved this app right up until they no longer allow me access to THOUSANDS of invoices, contracts, quotes, and customer database unless I upgrade to a higher plan. Won’t even let me login to my account without paying more money. I trusted yall with my business for YEARS. What a mistake that was. Then trying to leave this review it kicks me off as soon as I type something negative. so I’m writing this on notes to copy and paste before it kicks me off again. Screw your joist. -- bitemeho, 2024-10-09 ### ***** "Goog" Estoy empezando mi empresa y me a ayudado mucho a entender cómo hacer las facturas -- doubront, 2024-10-03 ### *---- "IT help required" There is not enough customer or IT technicians to assist with issues I have been experiencing login issues for about 2 weeks with no resolution to my login problem. This has impacted my business operations drastically. Anyone at joist please assist, I can post the chat history as supporting information. -- Dave11!!, 2024-09-09 ### *---- "👎Suddenly started charging👎" Been using this app for years since it first came out and now we can’t use it without having a paid subscription, not good business practice, and I will be deleting my account and going to a different app -- BoDavid3, 2024-09-09 ### *---- "Almost useless now unless you pay" I have been using this app since 2015. I am sure in my original review I gave this apps a 5 star review. . . not anymore. The original free version had no limits and you got all features, they have slowly taken features away and made them “premium”. This didn’t bother me much as I only need the app for basic invoicing. So now I am deeply rooted in this platform . . .going on 9 years worth of 100’s invoices and they have now through a slow process of taking features away systematically over time made this app pretty much a useless tool unless I pay them a minimum of 13.99 per month or 139.34 per year to get more than 5 documents per month. Yes the developer response will tell me about the wonderful other features that come along with that fee. . .I don’t want or need those features so save the response time Brendan. If 9 years ago I had chosen this app based on having a monthly fee ok, but I used it for 9 years and got totally invested in the platform and now have to pay. . .just to have more than 5 documents per month. . .absolutely ridiculous! Update: The Joist company continues spiraling down the hole! No free version at all and they actually are denying me any access to my previous years invoices unless I pay a fee! If you want to be a sleazy company and take away something that was free for 15 years ok but to charge me to access what is rightfully mine goes to a totally different level of scum. I’m not even sure why this is a legal practice. Apparently greed and desperation has taken this company over. . .give it a few years and quickbooks will gobble this company up. Response to the developers response: I couldn’t care less about the fact that you need to charge people going forward. . .I can CHOOSE not to pay you. . .what you have done that is dishonest and backhanded is DENIED ME ACCESS TO INVOICES THAT ARE MINE! I don’t care if I can never create another invoice with you I want access to MY invoices that were created legally according to your terms!!! A complete money grab that by the looks of the responses you are getting now will definitely backfire on you! -- maineflyfisherman, 2024-09-07 ### *---- "Use to love" The free version was great. Forcing me to purchase an upgrade is bad business. They are preventing me from all my invoices, amd receipts. -- ISA Abu Haniyah, 2024-09-06 ### *---- "Bad Business" I got this free app for several years. Then they kept raising prices. Now I can’t even get my invoices unless I pay for their subscription. Terrible business to do this to people! I switched to Square Invoice it is free and has the same features! -- noname5109, 2024-09-01 [View all Joist reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/de/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Joist In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Joist Pro Annual | $139.99 | | Joist Pro Monthly | $13.99 | | Joist Basics Annual | $79.99 | | Joist Basics Monthly | $7.99 | | Joist Pro Elite Annual | $319.99 | | Quickbooks Sync Annual | $90.99 | | Joist Pro Elite Monthly | $31.99 | | Quickbooks Sync Monthly | $9.99 | ## Joist Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Umsatz | Vereinigte Staaten | Business | #9 | | Top Umsatz | Kanada | Business | #10 | | Top Umsatz | Vereinigtes Königreich | Business | #19 | | Top Umsatz | Australien | Business | #22 | | Top Kostenlos | Kanada | Business | #444 | | Top Kostenlos | Vereinigte Staaten | Business | #449 | ## Joist Discovered Keywords - contractor pro app - estimate - estimate app - d tax service - get cost - hvac solutions - simple crm - xactremodel - construction estimator - joist ## Apps Similar to Joist - [Angi for Pros](https://apptail.io/de/app/angi-for-pros-Uob/united-states) - [Invoice2go: Easy Invoice Maker](https://apptail.io/de/app/invoice2go-easy-invoice-maker-Cxc/united-states) - [Housecall Pro: Field Service](https://apptail.io/de/app/housecall-pro-field-service-FTd/united-states) - [Invoice Simple: Invoice Maker](https://apptail.io/de/app/invoice-simple-invoice-maker-sUd/united-states) - [Jobber Field Service Software](https://apptail.io/de/app/jobber-field-service-software-fkh/united-states) - [Invoice & Estimate Maker](https://apptail.io/de/app/invoice-estimate-maker-QJm/united-states) - [Invoice Maker - Invoice Fly](https://apptail.io/de/app/invoice-maker-invoice-fly-pFB/united-states) - [Angi Pro Ads](https://apptail.io/de/app/angi-pro-ads-kYG/united-states) - [ContractorTools](https://apptail.io/de/app/contractortools-nbH/united-states) - [CompanyCam](https://apptail.io/de/app/companycam-MhR/united-states) ## Joist Available In - [Vereinigte Staaten](https://apptail.io/de/app/joist-estimate-invoice-maker-wed/united-states) - [Kanada](https://apptail.io/de/app/joist-estimate-invoice-maker-wed/canada) - [Vereinigtes Königreich](https://apptail.io/de/app/joist-estimate-invoice-maker-wed/united-kingdom) - [Australien](https://apptail.io/de/app/joist-estimate-invoice-maker-wed/australia) - [Mexiko](https://apptail.io/de/app/joist-estimate-invoice-maker-wed/mexico) - [Tunesien](https://apptail.io/de/app/joist-estimate-invoice-maker-wed/tunisia) - [Türkei](https://apptail.io/de/app/joist-estimate-invoice-maker-wed/turkey) - [Uruguay](https://apptail.io/de/app/joist-estimate-invoice-maker-wed/uruguay) - [Usbekistan](https://apptail.io/de/app/joist-estimate-invoice-maker-wed/uzbekistan) - [Südafrika](https://apptail.io/de/app/joist-estimate-invoice-maker-wed/south-africa) - [Brasilien](https://apptail.io/de/app/joist-estimate-invoice-maker-wed/brazil) - [Ghana](https://apptail.io/de/app/joist-estimate-invoice-maker-wed/ghana) - [Indien](https://apptail.io/de/app/joist-estimate-invoice-maker-wed/india) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io/de) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
