I had to quickly buy an app which would produce professional looking invoices and keep track of payments for me. Also, it would have to be easy for me to learn how to control it. I downloaded this app and after a few days of learning and testing I am now producing invoices, emailing them as attached PDFs, and recording cash receipts as they arrive - all on my iPad. I am a happy user of this app. ### 3/5 — So Far So Good *2013-05-02, version 3.6.6* Still learning this app but so far it's ALOT more then I need so it's very complete! ### 4/5 — Book Keeping *2013-04-24, version 3.6.6* Good once I got used to it. Love it. Would be great if I could apply discount in the quick entry page. ### 4/5 — Good app *2013-04-09, version 3.6.6* I agree with the last post. The app is great. If it would sync with the cloud another iPod or iPhone devices it would make it even better. ### 4/5 — Review *2013-03-24* I'm probably more critical than most on reviews but here goes. This program is solid. It's very flexible to international businesses and it seems to be geared for small businesses but get a little lost in detail. Some of it is much more complicated than it needs to. Currency for example should be just a preference setting yet you see it in every form making it more cluttered and busy than it needs to. Given your a small business, international currencies and their rates should not be much of a part of your business. My biggest complaint is that I enter most of details on my ipad, making for billing away from home impossible since its wifi only. I would of very much liked that my iPhone could be winked with my ipad. I can download it on my iphone for free since I bought it but cannot sink, making billing away from home impossible. That would be my biggest wish for this app is for the info to be stored iCloud and be able to enter from any of my devices like some other accounting apps do. ### 5/5 — Bookkeeping app that does everything I need... *2013-03-18, version 3.6.5* I have used this app for two years now and find it to be an excellent bookkeeping app for the club I am treasurer of. ### 5/5 — Excellent and comprehensive *2013-03-18* This app helped me completely ditch the laptop and do all my work on the go with my iPad. Very comprehensive list of features, easily adaptable to the needs of my small business. The only other things I would like to see in future releases are: more customizations for reports and sync between iOS devices. ### 5/5 — Excellent in every way *2013-03-17* This app is one of the best double-entry bookkeeping systems that I've ever used...and I've used far too many for anyone's good. It's easy--if you have a basic understanding of double-entry bookkeeping--and quick. The technical support is fast and responsive and updates with improvements and corrections are far faster than any app I've ever used. This app is great and the team that developed it are even better. Don't waste your money on more expensive apps that do far less, are more confusing and will likely never even consider that little changes that would make your life so much better. ### 5/5 — Just the job! *2013-03-17, version 3.6.5* This app does just what I need (keeping track of sales of multiple items and payments received). I'd previously tried several other apps, some were cheaper but didn't do everything I needed; others might have done but involved costly monthly fees, I'm perhaps only using 5% of bookkeeping's full potential but for me its an invaluable 5%. Great value. Prompt and helpful support too. ### 2/5 — WARNING & NOT FOR NEWBIES *2013-03-15, version 3.6.5* There's a cheaper version just for iPhones/iPods!😱 I don't own an iPad and I downloaded this one nearly double the price! Very disappointed that the other one didn't show up which costs just £9.99 whereas I ended up paying £18.99 for this one! Can I get a refund & exchange? 😡 And I know I'll never buy an iPad. Extremely unhappy :(( On the great side this program itself is for the professionals who understand accounting & It's built very well however it's very complex and some terms are really confusing for newbies like me. I find easy books easier to understand. So be sure to read the user guides and info on their website before purchase. They should give a trial version to try out beforehand. Lets hope I get the hang of this since I paid so much for it. Conclusion: I wish I spent this money on easy books which is simple! :(( ### 5/5 — Review *2013-03-12, version 3.6.5* This app is excellent. Very easy to use, truly value for money. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I need to unsubscribe *2022-01-10, version 14.1.3* This App is not for me. I downloaded last week. Now I need to cancel my subscription. Having trouble with this. Anyone out there that can help?? ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-07-23, version 13.0.5* It’s afraid app Don’t buy it ### 1/5 — Horrible and Misleading *2020-05-03, version 13.0.5* You pay R17 to get the app, and then need to oay an additional R30 per month to add any data. Ripoff. ### 1/5 — It’s a trap *2020-04-10, version 13.0.5* This app tricks you into purchasing only to inform you that you need to then also purchase a subscription to use it. So I just spent $1.49 on an app I cannot use unless I then pay a further $30. No thanks! ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2020-02-10, version 13.0.5* You download this and it asks for additional subscription immediately, you can not even test it . I’m surprised Apple allows this . I saw one star before I got it , but thought I will try anyway , now I know there was a reason it got one star . I’m not writing this for a refund , you can keep the money , you will probably need it , if you are getting so many unsatisfied customers. Steve ### 1/5 — Book Keeping 3 *2013-07-11, version 3.6.7* I am very disappointed in the fact that you have decided to create a new version just to grab more money instead of upgrading the current version. Why is not version 4 a continuation of 3.6? Not worth buying unless you are prepared to fork more money whenever they please ### 1/5 — Worse app *2013-04-07, version 3.6.5* Want my money back. Always crashes. It won't keep track of things and has no security and every time you put a code in it crashes. Not even worth a dollar. Don't buy it . Help your self. It has no password and it won't keep track of it . All it is, is. a calculator that's badly design. Want my money back. ### 1/5 — Way too complicated *2013-01-12, version 3.6.2* Not at all intuitive and not adaptable or customisable. ### 1/5 — I really don't like it *2012-12-06, version 3.6.1* It seems to be just what I wanted but it won't allow me to import my customers from iPad contacts. I can't add a price in invoicing. Not able to disable pin to log into the app is a real annoyance. Have looked at the help file but none of these issues are dealt with. Help file is actually very basic. Would be nice to contact the developer to ask for help but unfortunately no contact details. I'm very disappointed with this app and it would be really nice to be able to get my money back but as I can't contact developer I guess I'll just chalk this down to one of those wastes of money. ### 1/5 — Not all it's cracked up to be *2012-12-05, version 3.6.1* Fairly disappointing that preprinted cheques can't be used. Has absolutely no option to do even basic payroll. One has to reorder and rename all of the accounts to follow North American conventions. Time consuming. Interface doesn't take advantage of the Apple "look and feel" that one expects from such apps. I did not trust it enough to transfer my existing books over. Looking at Kashoo now. Seems to show much more promise. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — GREAT APP *2013-06-07* GREAT TO USE ON MY IPAD. ### 5/5 — Great *2013-05-30* Work great for a quickbooks Substitute and better prices ### 5/5 — Great for our small business *2013-05-27, version 3.6.7* Best book keeping App yet....it has helped our business to track expenses and profits and make Book Keeping simple and easy to stay up to date. Love it... ### 5/5 — NOUH *2013-05-04, version 3.6.6* I like it ### 5/5 — 10 stars for this *2013-04-29, version 3.6.6* Been using Book-keeping for almost 2 months now for my business accounts. So simple to use details can entered almost on the hoof- no more storing up receipts in a shoe-box until I can get round to them. It just works all of the time. Highly recommended to anyone who needs double accounting but is no accountant. Support is absolutely second to none. I'd rate this 10 stars if I could ### 5/5 — The Full Package *2013-04-28, version 3.6.6* Used for over two years. Data base stable. Regular updates. Ex MYOB user for over 15 years and nothing bad to say about MYOB. Bookkeeping is portable and a fraction of the cost. Very comprehensive and useable. The best support I have experienced with any software or App. Quoting, invoicing, purchases and expenses on the go. ### 5/5 — Excellent software *2013-04-20, version 3.6.6* Really impressed with this software. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2013-04-07, version 3.6.5* This app does everything you could ask of an accounting program. Full functionality with lots of options. The email support is also very responsive. Thoroughly recommend this app for anybody needing to get their accounts in order. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2013-04-05, version 3.6.5* It's a excellent app Thanks guys, This app is really rocking, you guys are really supportive, this app has all features that all kind of business is looking for. It's been a year now I m using this app without any problem. Hope in this new financial year, we will see some more new changes in the app. Also if you can release version for mac, will be great. ### 5/5 — great app *2013-04-03, version 3.6.5* takes sometime to learn but over all great app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
