The numbers are off. There are also a few other things that they could do to make this app outstanding but for the most part, it does what I needed to do. It also solved a huge problem that I had keeping track of my contractors expenses and income. One thing that I wish they could fix is the ability to delete an expense category after it’s created. Also the ability to change the date format to the region you live in would be nice. ### 4/5 — Cooking *2026-04-26, version 5.5* Chicken ### 4/5 — So Far - Okay *2026-04-23, version 5.4* Just started using the accounting app - I’ve had it for a while but never used it. Currently, the app if getting stuck on the “analyzing” my uploaded receipts and not processing. However, once that gets figured out, I think it’ll be a game changer. ### 5/5 — Tammy *2026-04-12, version 5.4* Works perfectly for my needs. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t sync with any accounts *2026-04-09, version 5.4* Tough to navigate, but still necessary ### 2/5 — Not really free *2026-04-04, version 5.4* I thought this app was great, but now it will not let me go past a page where it asks if I want to pay for the premium version . If I don’t wanna pay for the premium version, it won’t allow me to use it at all now. ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2026-03-28, version 5.4* Excellent organizational tool ### 5/5 — User-friendly *2026-03-16, version 5.4* I love that I am able to track my mileage so easy! ### 5/5 — Awesome sauce *2026-03-15, version 5.4* Still can’t figure out how that take a picture of the receipt thingy works, but it looks cool. ### 4/5 — . *2026-03-12, version 5.4* . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do not waste your time *2026-07-02, version 5.7* If you have time and resources to waste, use this app. ### 1/5 — 0 stars *2026-06-13, version 5.7* I give this app 0 stars and feel like this is a misrepresentation as they have no affiliation with QuickBooks, but make it seem like they are apart of QuickBooks. They force you to sign up for a payed monthly subscription before you find out they are their own entity. The logo, and interface looks very similar to QuickBooks but when you try to sign in give you the error code. If there not QuickBooks, they shouldn’t try to advertise that they are!!! ### 1/5 — Invasive and excessive requests to review - difficult to navigate *2026-05-04, version 5.5* Invasive and excessive requests to review the app even after subscribing. So here is my review per your request. Can’t even access account on the web. Customer service doesn’t response to messages. Difficult to navigate the app. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2026-04-10, version 5.4* First impression not great, when signing up you are prompted to subscribe, I select the monthly option as I haven’t even had a chance to see the features yet, the button to proceed says ‘try for free’ yet you then get charged, why would the button say that?? Also prompted me for a review about 10 seconds into using the app, so here it is! ### 1/5 — Support is terrible it has been 30 days *2026-04-03, version 5.4* It has been over a month since I have received a response for help with accessing my QB Self-Employed. I can not access the account to get the information that has been uploaded to complete my tax filing. ### 1/5 — not worth the value *2026-03-23, version 5.4* the website and the app does not sync, and that was the purpose of me getting this app and buying the membership, yo have everything under one system would not recommend ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2026-03-19, version 5.4* App tris to refresh every time you come back to it. Too many pop ups asking for reviews. Several unintuitive UX issues. Drop-down options are missing the some of the most logical options. The opening page with a “get started” button is horrendous. Terrible app ### 1/5 — Heckling your customers until they rage review your app is not an effective strategy. *2026-03-10, version 5.4* The app is fine. I would have given it 3 or 4 stars if it weren’t for that infuriating pop up request for an App Store review every single time you log a trip. So here you go, Self Employed, here is the review you have badgered me for relentlessly. 1 star for a cumbersome, aggravating, irritating pop up that slows me down and is overall just a pain in my *** every time I categorize a trip. In the spirit of actually providing useful feedback, the auto tracking of trips isn’t that great and usually misses about 1/3 of my drive. For the most part though, this app is decently okay. Does what I need it to. 3.5 of 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Will update with help *2026-03-07, version 5.4* It be nice to go back and just click on expense and print that ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY *2026-03-04, version 5.4* There is not such a free trial at all. They took money from me on day 2. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Accounting App! *2026-08-18, version 5.8* Best accounting app by far! Especially for courier drivers and independent delivery drivers. ### 5/5 — Adam Nicholas Todhunter, 7214 *2026-07-07, version 5.7* Notes unlimited ### 5/5 — Great! so far very helpful *2026-06-14, version 5.7* Just started using this app and I’m loving it so far. ### 5/5 — great so far *2026-06-06, version 5.7* great app. helps with 1099 workers taxes ### 5/5 — I’ve been using this software for years! *2026-06-02, version 5.7* Phenomenal product! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-04-23, version 5.4* I’m able to get all my mileage and expenses logged in one place ### 5/5 — Good for business *2026-04-21, version 5.4* Simple to use ### 5/5 — Self employed *2026-04-19, version 5.4* Great app ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-04-17, version 5.4* Easy to use ### 5/5 — Learning *2026-04-15, version 5.4* It seems like it will work but I’m learning and giving it a shot --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
