Disappointed

A change to the homepage has replaced the Client button, which contained personal info saved about clients. Will likely delete since that change occurred since I no longer have access to my client database. Used to be a 5 but now I’m rating a 1.

Simple, easy

If you run your own business and need to invoice on the fly, then this app is for you. It’s not cheap but the features are there. Also getting paid is through PayPal which is simple (they charge per transaction).

Just what I needed

This is a great and so much what I needed .

App failed

Make sure to back everything up. The app failed to work for me and support isn’t helpful. Don’t get caught off guard!

Descent

Descent app but after I subscribed it sent me an email of a price increase for my subscription about 2 weeks later ,not cool. I don’t care for these kinds of developers who want to charge for everything. That’s right they even charge for uploading photos . I will look for another app .
