Numerical Flaws Undermine Functionality
This software is well positioned for basic individual propriter time-keeping & bookkeeping. Unfortunately, the code is flawed in it's numerical rounding & addition. Manually time-keeping entries are sometimes inapproprately rounded up or down by a minute. (16 hours at $65 totals to $1039.99, but invoices for $1040.01). Additionally, the free version has some small bugs in the display & options to hide features would be nice, but neither of these problems are deal breakers. Nothing in the program seems to be outside the box, but by the same token, nothing is offensively inadequate. Support: I first reported this error to support 10/2015. They were communicative, but, as of 6/2018, the errors persist.
United StatesThis is a crap application!
I spent hours setting this up and inputting income and expenses only to find I cannot retrieve any of this information. It is gone, poof. Total waste of $60 and more importantly my time. I want a refund!!!!!!
United StatesMULTICURRENCY BEWARE!!!
This application advertises itself as having multi-currency support and although this is true, its implementation has speratic glitches like labeling the wrong value with the incorrect currency label and thus totaling them falsly. We had to redo all our books in a different software upon an internal audit! DONT TRUST THIS LOW QUALITY APP!!!
United StatesNeeds better documentation
Works OK, needs better documentation, but at least support is responsive
United StatesAll you probably need for a small biz
I got this ap and found it easy to use. Though I have not explored every feature yet, what I have explored seems to be working well. It looks good, is easy to use, and is pretty much all I need for my simple but lucrative small business. I hate accounting but this makes it kind of fun. I'd give it a go!
United StatesDebits & Credits!
I was looking for something simple to keep track of a few assets & liabilities and didn’t want to invest in any of the major applications because I just don’t need their features. I generally use MS Excel through VMware Fusion to cover all my sheet work, so small is the key for my use here. This app does a great job and functions perfectly. It is powerful enough to let you create accounts and set them as needed for depreciation, interest, labor, etc. So you are in control! Remember, of course an accounting app is for accountants. If you have no training or experience, you will want to take a crash course or two in financial accounting as a subject first to get some hands-on and learn your terminology.
United StatesConfusing
I am an experienced bookkeeper, but I find this app confusing. I cannot figure out how to do a simple double entry. I just want to debit the bank and credit a supplier. Can’t figure it out. What is account 1 and what is account 2? I’m sure there must be a simple way to do it, but how?
