### 5/5 — Good Software

*2025-11-15, version 10.1.9*

Has all the tools I need to run my business

### 1/5 — Awful

*2025-11-12, version 10.1.8*

Constant crashing if you’ve got no phone signal, the things unusable having to deleting and reinstall the app every few days,

Told by it it’s technical team it’s because you need a minimum of six gig of RAM which no iPhone has! 

It’s just not good! It’s clumsy it’s backwards it’s badly coded

### 1/5 — DO NOT USE THIS APP

*2025-11-05, version 10.1.7*

Never use this company even after you cancel they continue to take payments and tell you it wasn’t cancelled  this happens repeatedly I had to contact my bank in the end. Worst company to use for invoicing app constantly crashes! And there support team are a joke

### 1/5 — They save your card details and the app keeps crashing

*2025-10-15, version 10.1.6*

They save your card details and auto renew without a prior discussion been with them a couple years same thing every year this time I changed my cards to see who saved my card details this was one 
It also crashes mid way through an invoice

### 5/5 — Exceptional Customer service

*2025-09-19, version 10.1.5*

Exceptional Customer service when needed. First job software to have used, no need to look elsewhere. 👍

### 4/5 — User friendly

*2025-09-03, version 10.1.5*

Very powerful app

### 5/5 — Made my life so much easier!

*2025-09-01, version 10.1.5*

What great software. Powerednow has helped me so much, I feel I have finally got on top of my paperwork and can get my actual work done.

### 1/5 — Unfortunately

*2025-08-14, version 10.1.4*

App continues to crash , freeze and generally not work . When it does work great . However when it doesn’t it can add an extra 20 minutes to each job easily. 
If you do 6 to 8 jobs a day , that’s a lot of time wasted

### 1/5 — Crashing issues

*2025-08-13, version 10.1.4*

Have been having loads of issues with system crashing. Not able to upload certs or pictures. When invoicing wrong account details being sent. When trying to update contact details the system times out and have to reload pages

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2025-08-13, version 10.1.4*

App crashes all the time, support is none existent as they say it’s because your phone is old etc and tell you to try the same thing all the time even when you know it won’t work. When the app works it’s great but unfortunately it’s very rare that it works.

What that means for you: the invoices, expenses and income you already track in Powered Now can now be used to submit your quarterly updates and final declaration to HMRC. No spreadsheets. No separate accounting software. No faff.

Powered Now is the only job management app in the UK to support MTD. If you also earn property income, we've got that covered too.

Win it. Do it. Bill it. Now sort your tax while you're at it.
