Disappointment again

Problems getting touch thru ‘support’ closed old app went to reinstall app open in App Store can’t get to downloads to phone. Looks like will need to ‘open’ thru App Store 🤷‍♀️😡

Lacking some basic functionality that Xero has

I’ve switched to MYOB from Xero, for my business accounting. I primarily use the app to capture business expenses (receipts) on the go. Some big downsides to the MYOB app that Xero does no problem (which is making me change my accounting software back to Xero) are:
1. Can only upload images, not files. This is a problem because the “email receipts” function frequently fails, and you have to save supplier invoice attachments as files to upload. You can’t upload these via the app, you have to wait till you’re back at your computer. Very inefficient, and things therefore get missed.
2. You can’t view uploaded receipts in the app. Which means
A) you can’t check whether you’ve already uploaded a receipt; and
B) you can’t check and change if necessary the matched fields
This inability to view uploads then leads to the really big issue:
3. MYOB does not recognise and reject duplicate receipts. Therefore you end up with duplicate expense uploads.
Overall this app is a really inferior product, and actually affects the bigger decision of which accounting software to use

Response from developer

Hey gretoutfg, thanks for taking the time to share such considered feedback. The detail you've provided around file uploads, viewing receipts and duplicate expense entries is genuinely helpful as it's specific about how we could improve the workflow for you in the app. We've shared your feedback with our Product Team so they can factor it in, when making decisions about future improvements. Thanks ^MYOB

Waiting time for support for myob help and support

Edit: close to 2 hours now and still on hold. Don’t know how many more hours I will have to wait to speak to someone. Ridiculous waiting time and no callback option.

MYOB assist

About time myob caught up with the modern world. It’s the best thing myob has released in a long time. One issue to be resolved, which is the requirement to sign in every time. A PIN code would fix this issue.

Would be great if it worked

We had it working and now it doesn’t even bring us to a login in page. I seen there was an issue online but when is it getting fixed?
I normally use this app daily.

Response from developer

Hey there emzylee, that doesn't sound right! We'll need some more information to be able to help you from here. Can you please email through to socialmedia@myob.com with your client ID or serial number + any screenshots or error messages? Thanks!

Sales orders

Like that it’s just 1 app now instead of 2 for capturing receipts and invoices but would really love if you can add sales orders to the app

Stopped working

No longer loads. Useless

Have to log on every time

Having to constantly log in each time is a pain when all you want to do is quickly take a photo of your receipt.

Painful

Only need app for capturing receipts & this app takes too long to log on to capture receipts on the go.
The old capture app was so quick & easy, now I end up with a pile of paper receipts.
Should have kept the old app for people that only need to capture receipts, big step backwards

Response from developer

Thanks so much for sharing this, PCG72! We agree that speed really matters, especially when you're capturing receipts on the go or invoicing. MYOB Assist brings invoicing and receipt capture together in one secure place, helping keep your business information secure, while ensuring everything is accurately recorded and connected to the right records. To make re-entry more seamless while also keeping those protections in place, we'll be introducing a PIN login for re-entry and will let you know as soon as it's ready. Thanks ^MYOB *Update 18/03 - passcode login to the app is now available. Make sure you have the latest version, and your time to log on will be a thing of the past

Constantly logging in

I only use the app for the capture feature. While this app is perfectly adequate for that, the app always logs you out so you have to re-enter your email and password.
I have biometrics set up but having to then re-login and get the emailed two-factor verification code is a pain.
I know the developers have a 'security first' focus but this is overkill. The website is the same.
This program is to track my finances not to actually hold my money...painful overkill.

Yeeew quotes are in

Now the app is complete !

Old app was better

The old app was so much easier. Just take the picture & it was saved into your photos album. This app can’t even take the picture in colour
, let alone save it to your album

Wow. Amazing!

Thank god the old apps were combined into this one. So much easier. Thank you MYOB!!!1!

Takes too long!!

New app is terrible. It takes way too long to be able to capture a receipt compared to the old one.

I don’t want to log in every time to use this app. Will use the old app until the day it dies.

No faster

AI capture is no faster than the old capture app. Supposed to capture on the fly but couldn’t cause MYOB logged me out for unknown reason so I missed the capture. Forgot to log in and I was still logged out. People waiting at the fuel bowser. Missed that capture. It’s not really any good if you have to keep logging in. I have face recognition active and it still logged me out

Response from developer

Thanks for sharing this }-{ippy. Capturing a receipt in the moment needs to happen fast and the security of your data is just as important. To balance this out, the app logs out after 30 minutes of inactivity, while still being designed to let you get back in quickly. If your device supports biometric login, tap ‘more' (bottom right) then select ‘enable biometrics’ under Account Settings. Thanks ^MYOB

Cuts my second job admin in half

Ability to capture receipts before I lose them is so handy and lets me invoice when I’m on my commute to and from work. More functionality in the app would be great.

Response from developer

Absolutely love this CourtB2020 💜 Hearing that the app cuts down your admin is huge! We're always working on expanding functionality, so thanks for adding your voice to this. Cheers ^MYOB

Easy invoicing and expense capture

Love how I can send invoices and log expenses on the go. Invoicing on site is super easy and feels way smoother than my old app. Reliable too, worked when I needed it!

Response from developer

So good to hear Aysha at work! Making your workflow as effortless as possible is the goal and we're so glad to hear everything is working perfectly. Thanks for sharing. Cheers ^MYOB

Superior

This is so much better than the old capture app - and superior to any other tool

Response from developer

Thanks so much for this claudiastorme! We love forward momentum and it's so great to hear that the app is hitting all the right the marks for you. Cheers ^MYOB

Love the new update

The app is easy to use and it’s a huge help being able to do my invoicing while I’m out and about.

Response from developer

So good to hear Thomps_P! The MYOB Assist app was built for moments like this, and we love hearing it's been a huge help. Thanks for taking the time to share. Cheers ^MYOB

Great app

Great app. Really handy for expenses
