Really useful for small business + employee

I’ve used this app for a number of years. I work most of the week in an employee role and then one day a week under my own abn. It’s been helpful to track business expenses and income, as well as other tax-related matters (driving between worksites, donations to charity, self-education expenses, etc).

1 hour of my life lost

Can confirm all previous reviews. Updated phones but could no longer access the app due to verification steps. It gets worse as I spent an hour of my time doing endless security checks on ato support phone line to have the problem ‘escalated’. That was over 5 weeks ago. No contact since.
How could an it team not foresee such a problem and more to the point, develop an easy solution once the problem was obvious.
I note I am just one of many who have gone through this. This was also confirmed by the ato phone support number that I called.
Total clown show! Avoid this app if you value your time or sanity.

Response from developer

Hi, please contact us at app@ato.gov.au, so we can assist you. Thanks, Alex.

NSW centric

Could the federal government actually recognise there are other states out there beside NSW? Why does it always use NSW imagery, like this app?

Very bad design

Developer don’t care about difficulty people can’t understand

Useless App

Claims to help process returns faster but in reality. Totally the opposite. Says returns processed in 10 “ working days” but months later ( 2 months +) still waiting. No updates no follow ups And ato doesn’t answer phone calls to respond to queries either. Doing thru tax agents takes 2 weeks. This app is useless
