Ratings and reviews

UPDATE: They have fixed the issue with the login, so I'm updating my review. App works great now! Original review: App works fine but giving it 3 stars because it doesn't remember my login or let me login with biometrics, only unlock it. Very annoying. Worked with their tech support thinking it was a hidden setting. Couldn't even get them to understand what i was asking for. They just kept pushing the lock option, which is already on amd has nothing to do with the initial login.

Go back to the old app. The update doesn't work and quite frankly if I can't use it from my phone it's useless! 2 years ago I said above, we were great for a while now same issues are starting with the last update. (whoops something went wrong) and nothing works. I will be switching to quickbooks as they have their stuff together.

I have been using this program for several years and have had minimal issues until late last year ware ware several features I used became only available with the pro version causing me to have to pay for the app and now with this last update 90% of the time the app itself will not open. once my peo plan expires im going to start looking for a more reliable program
