Box of rocks in sheep’s clothes
This app (the web app and this one) needs an extreme overhaul. It is a perfect example of an integration nightmare, I have been using this app for the past year and I have regretted every time I had to open it. I have fully recommended just foregoing the app and bringing along a hotspot with a laptop because you’re gonna need it to make work orders and anything that requires more than two dialogue boxes to interact with. I would love for this app to be streamlined, but right now it is a huge pain point of inefficiency for the individuals who use it.
To give one overarching example, one of the major issues with the app that there is no caching. Every single interaction is processed on the website so if you have a poor connection, the app scales exponentially in how long it takes to do simple tasks. Good luck in the field.

Buyer Beware
**BUYER BEWARE - Sold on “easy customization,” got the opposite. The process is unnecessarily complex, costly, and nothing like what was promised. I asked for a refund before any work began and my rep, Mikaela, stopped responding. After multiple attempts I had to email a general inbox just to get reassigned to Urja. Then their team lead, Nelson De Miranda, got involved and offered no solution beyond quoting policy. Method refused to refund a deposit for customization work never executed. Be careful—what they sell and what you get are very different.

Syncs to QB beautifully.
I have used this app along with the desktop version for a few years now. I feel it works great. The Quickbooks sync is flawless.
The biggest feature that I wanted was customization. They allow me to add my own tables and fields. I can add fields for extra data into their tables as well. All in all very happy with it.
Some honest downsides:
You cannot download and backup your customizations to your own storage. Has not been an issue yet, but always a nagging though in the back of my mind.
They do not have a direct code option for customizations. It’s all drag and drop/ click options. This means that you can’t reuse templates you build very easily. Especially if building separate apps that you want to blend the look seamlessly. So customizing multiple screens takes longer than needed. But it works great when it’s done.
Last feature it’s missing is a scanner object. It’s a crm that lets you save attachments. But there is no easy way to get the attachments scanned in. It would be totally possible for them to add a web scan feature. And I would applaud them if this single feature was added. Even if it was an add on purchase feature it would be worth it.

Not a sales CRM
Automation is horrible.
Heavy data entry.
Customer service and support will charge you for assistance.
Method CRM expects user to fix own issues and challenges.

Can’t login
I put in my log in credentials, which I have verified are correct, and the dashboard pops up for a second before I am brought back to the log in screen. Still have not been able to get in and check the app out.

Won’t load
Not sure how you can really review something that when you enter the correct account info it won’t load. Works fine on desktop but unable to access from iPhone which is where you work most from these days.

Method deleted my data
I am a CPA and QuickBooks ProAdvisor and until very recently I was an Advanced Method Consultant - that is until Method deleted our company’s data...not once but twice - forcing us to rebuild our data. After that I could not in good conscience recommend Method to any of our clients. Method’s CEO, tried to buy my silence by asking me to sign a non disclosure agreement in exchange for a cash payment, which I refused. People need to know that their data is not safe with this company and that our situation is not an isolated incident.
And to be clear, this was not due to non-payment. Also my data was irretrievably deleted.

Can't even log in...
Liked the idea of being able to access method while on the go with my phone. Unfortunately I can even log in, and yes my log in information is correct as I go to my computer and enter my credentials and it works fine.
Not sure if the app is even supported anymore? Some fixes would be nice.

A key login issue was addressed since this review that likely resolved the issue. If not, or for anything like this, please don't hesitate to reach out to the Method Support team (https://www.method.me/support/) - they are eager to help.

I've been using this for a month now. Amazing! My favorite is the contact screen. Simple. I'm using it more and more each day. All my business related contacts are in Method. I can customize the screen on my laptop, then see the results on my iPhone! Man, I've been waiting for this.
It fully integrates with all versions of QuickBooks. Its fully customizable - and it's accessible in the palm of my hand.
