Ratings and reviews

Used wave for 2 years and was great. Loved being able to email invoices right threw the app. Now that they have added pro, and I subscribed to the receipts annually on the app I can't upgrade tell December. So now I have to manually send invoices by email or text. I guess it's time to listen to my bookkeeper and switch to quickbooks.

DOESN'T WORK! I have tried to go through the verification process minimum of 15 times and every time it goes to the whole thing and then says connection error and will not verify. I have contacted customer support numerous times and the only thing they do is send me the exact same copy and paste answer I have sent them to screenshots multiple times showing what's going on and they ignore it and send me the same copy and paste. UPDATE: Closed account & deleted app. Waste of time and phone storage

I can't upgrade to pro from the receipts subscription. The chat bot wont connect me to a real human even though I have a paid subscription, which is the ONLY way to access help. It says update it from the computer, the computer says the play store. I can only cancel my subscription from the play store, there is no option to change. I was willing to pay the monthly fee so I could literally just send a invoice, but you wont even let me pay!? You lost a customer and my recommendation to anyone else

What's new

With this release, we’ve fixed an issue that prevented some business owners from upgrading their receipts subscription to a Pro Plan. This release also includes other bug fixes and stability improvements. Thanks for choosing Wave to help you stay more in control of your business on-the-go.
