Leave a Review Xero Accounting for business
Very limited mobile functionslity
Desktop version is awesome, both mobile versions lack the fundamental functionality to make the Xero app a productive tool forCorbinvisual
Good app
You need an online subscription to use this app after the free trial but overall excellent cloud accounting software, way more user friendly and better price than quickbooks online.wayoutwest2011
Unhappy customer
Absolutely useless to me. iOS 8 has changed decimal separator from "." to "," and now cents are ignored and rounded down to zero. Complete waste of time now and I pay good money for this.Andrewjdt
Missing a lot of functionality, but good at what it does
While this app is pretty good at what it has available to it right now, I feel that it's missing a lot of functionality in order to truly operate my business remotely. And that is my goal with this app. I need to be able to run reports such as a balance sheet and profit and loss statement. I also need to be able to refresh my bank feed (such as by pulling down on the dashboard). I also should be able to print checks to a wireless printer from my iPad or iPhone. It would also be useful to be able to add pictures of receipts to transactions that have already been reconciled. Please keep developing the app, and I will increases my rating.
Update to review - 4/2/15:
For new users interested in Xero, please know there website is much more robust and developed compared to this app (and you can access the website from iOS devices). I would recommend Xero to most small business even with the limitations of the app, maybe with the exception of business who need high levels of job costing. Try it out.Show lessDavid C. Ward
Not working
Impossible to create an account. It locked me out prior to getting in.Yhbgtrfv
Beautiful Accounting App
I really like the simplicity of this app. It is designed with the owner/manager in mind that is mobile but needs access to the most important information about their business. A dashboard that shows all you bank accounts and credit cards upon logging in that allows you to select an account and reconcile transactions or view activity. It also allows you to view overdue invoices which is great for a sales rep walking into a client’s office to know if they are behind.
When it comes to mobile apps, they got it right. Xero gives you the ability to do what you need to from a phone without the complexity of performing all your accounting functions. The full website is for that.Show lessJonathan Grinnon
Good, but very basic
Limited functions. Good for checking bank balances and handling receivables, and great that expenses can be logged along with a photo of the receipt. As a business owner, I would like to be able to view my P&L, balance sheet and payables too.Management Coach
Critical feature missing
While this app looks to have potential it quickly made it off my shopping list. Both this and its desktop counterpart are missing the critical ability to generate estimates or quotes.
Therefore it alienates the plethora of businesses who require this basic feature to generate business.
And after 3 years of requests logged on their website they have done nothing but offer an amateur workaround that takes some effort to accomplish. That tells me that this is not a company with the necessary drive to keep improving their product.
Not for me.Show lessPCharlesG
What good are invoices w/no contacts?
I had great hopes for the update, especially when they said we'd be able to create invoices now. There are still several HUGE flaws to this app being useful for mobile customers:
1. IT STILL DOESN'T ROTATE!!! Come on people. What business person out there doesn't have a keyboard & case? I don't have a rotating case (most of them don't rotate) so I have to PHYSICALLY remove my iPad from my case in order to use a non-rotating app for any length of time. There's really no excuse for a top-drawer service like Xero failing to build that into their iPad app.
2. The app still doesn't import the contacts I've added via the online app... even worse, it won't let me CREATE any, nor will it pull any contacts from my iPad. Ideally, it would not only access my iPad contacts, it would allow me to identify certain contacts as customers and sync them with the online backup.
3. Want to make this app TRULY useful? Integrate it fully with PayPal Here and/or Square Register, allow me to create contacts & invoices on the go and take payment right there on the spot for invoices or point-of-sale purchases via the inventory function.
4. Want to make it even more useful?? Add an inventory function to the mobile app. If Square register can set up an inventory for their mobile app, maybe you can figure out how to.
Please & thank you.Show lessMidnightSunAK
Update broken, poor QA
Functional app companion to the paid software service, however, recent update broke key function of receipt photo upload. Need better QA.Znowstorm
