I used to be able to search through my transactions, but now, whenever I try, the app closes as soon as I type the first letter or number. It's very frustrating when I'm trying to connect unrecognized receipts to their transactions. I first noticed this problem around October 2024, and waited for a patch/update to fix it, but it never came. Please fix/advise. Thank you!

Hi Benjamin. Let's work together to fix the problem you're having searching transactions. First, log out of the app, clear your cache (Phone Settings > Apps > QuickBooks > Storage > Clear Cache), and restart. In the meantime, please use the website (https://tinyurl.com/QBSE-login) and contact us for help (Help (?)> Contact us). All the best. -Karey

Imagine how excited I was when I went to QBSE on my desktop to work on my taxes to discover that, regardless of the notifications I received every time I started driving, the app hasn't tracked a single trip since June of last year. My client list is consistent so I have rules created so I don't have to frequently categorize trips. Now I get to reinvent the wheel for half of the year for an app that is not inexpensive and I use over others because of the trip tracking feature. Waste of money.

It's our priority to ensure that you can track your mileage consistently, Julie. An initial suggestion is to try these troubleshooting steps (https://tinyurl.com/QBSE-mileage) and use Google Timeline as a backup (https://tinyurl.com/Import-Trips) to import trips. Please contact us if you need more help (Help (?) > Contact US). Best. -Karey

The past two years this app has continuously had mileage tracking problems. They only respond to you if you write a bad review. I've sent a number of emails over the years with no response. My mileage tracking has been down since early August this time and despite following all of the apps recommended fixes, it has yet to track and it claims that everything is on and good to go. Currently looking into better apps.
