RUN AWAY!!!!!

SCAM. The worst app and the worst customer service I’ve ever received ( It’s all AI) They hold your money hostage. Takes weeks to be paid (I still haven’t) Clients paid the invoice on July 9th, it’s the 20th still no payment. Took a little over $200 of the payment. I was asked to send in images of my drivers license, which I now regret. I’ve still not been paid. Run don’t walk away from this app it’s a scam.

iOS app essentially useless

The web app is phenomenal, but the iOS app has clearly had no real effort put in to bridging the experiences. Timers are buggy and don’t work (they’ll disappear if you switch screens or apps), extremely limited features, no reason to use instead of or in addition to the web app.

This was supposed to be a way to manage projects and work kept in Bonsai on the go, but you’re better off logging in to the web app. A shame the design and dev teams aren’t allotted resources to make this app a meaningful companion; a more robust ecosystem would strongly affect my decision to subscribe and spend money on Bonsai.

Update broke app

The app just won’t load at all now, weird debugger alerts come up. Tried to uninstall and reinstall and the login page keeps failing my authentication. How did this ever even pass review?

Weak App

This app is missing so many features that the web app has that it’s nearly useless to me.

I’d love to see more project/task management features so that I can do more with this app.

Other helpful features would be:
• Ability to customize the dashboard widgets
• Sync with Google Calendar
• Add ability to connect to Make, n8n, and Relay.app for more powerful automated workflows

In general this app has so much potential, but it feels like it’s falling behind amongst newer, better services that are actively developing.

Clunky unprofessional

Had a terrible experience with this company. Wouldn’t recommend stick to something bigger not this clunky hard to navigate app that literally asked me for proof that my client was real. After being on there platform for several years, always experienced problems but it wasn’t until they did this that was the final straw. Stick to quickbooks or something.
