EasyBooks Accounting Reviews

First off let me say I have been a professional bookkeeper and tax preparer for over 15 years. I switched careers to insurance agent and wanted to find a program/app I could use straight on my iPad. Most of the bad reviews on EasyBooksAccounting Store are over a year old so I decided to give it a try. Didn’t find anywhere in the store that said I would only get “X” amount of transactions. Didn’t describe the extra features or the cost of them on EasyBooksAccounting Store either. So I downloaded, signed up, went through the 4 step tutorial. It wouldn’t even let me put my company name in when I created a new company. Then I start entering backdated sales. Because I started 2 weeks ago I have 2+ weeks on commissions and expenses to enter. Low and behold... I enter 5 sales and it tells me I have reached my limit. Doesn’t say if I will be able to enter 5 more transactions tomorrow for free or if that is permanently the only free transactions I get.

So after using the program less than 5 mins I am forced to make a choice to spend money or find something else... Seeing as it is 230 in the morning; I think I will call it a night and continue my software search in the morning, along with uninstalling this catastrophe for my iPad and closing out the account online.

Note to developers: money isn’t everything... try lowering your level of greed and you might get more people interested and better ratings.

I have used EasyBooksAccounting for 10+ years now and have been happy with it until recently. Several weeks ago I noticed my invoices were looking terrible. It looks like I was using a typewriter that couldn’t fit words on a line and split words at the end of a line and finish them on the next.. like the first version of a word processor software from the 80’s... it took me several hours to actually find a way to contact the company about it and when I finally did, it was just an email. So I sent an email and also submitted to the forum.. after several days I did get a reply that states “thanks for sending in that issue. I have passed it on to my development team to take a look and will get back to you when they have finished.” It’s been weeks now and still no reply and no automatic fixes or updates.. this is ridiculous! I cannot send out these invoices and quotes because they look like a 2nd grader wrote them, actually, my second grader could do better! Looking for a new service now.

Easy Books has lots of great simple functions. I don’t use invoicing etc, just basic double entry bookkeeping. But, it has a couple of flaws so it seems expensive and unprofessional. One flaw is that when you open it in iOS next to another app, sometimes it comes up a blank grey screen so you have to go out, and start over. This is a real pain when you’re trying to focus on keeping your data straight. The other issue is that Online Sync has also become buggy; giving frequent warnings about devices being out of sync even though I’m only using one device for entry, and the other device is always available for auto backups. My feeling is that everything is in sync, but the warning comes up anyway. I am starting to think it’s too expensive for these flaws, and am looking to shop around.

For me EasyBooksAccounting is essential for all my business transactions. Bought all the add ons for the Mac and IOS plus online sync. I spent a lot of money into EasyBooksAccounting , which I was happy to do because I like EasyBooksAccounting .

Unfortunately, like so many other devs they are switching to a subscription with a monthly cost. So now those "unlimited" add ons that I purchased seem to be no more. I will not continue to be a customer as under the subscription model.

Maybe they will continue to offer the current programs the the customers that have signed up already or give us an option to use it as we have been or switch to the subscription if that works better for you. I would continue paying online sync if that happens and change my rating back to 5 star. Otherwise you lost me and probably many others that are already flooded with subscriptions. Formerly happy 6 year customer.

My wife and I have used easy books to manage our personal finances since 2011. It’s the best balance of simple and powerful. The data synchronization across devices makes things easy, and the split screen on iPad is a must when reconciling bank statements. Although it is targeted toward small businesses, we find it to be good for personal finances because it is unopinionated in its workflow, allowing us to leverage off of standard accounting practices rather than fight a tool that thinks it knows how to manage our finances better than we do.

We have used EasyBooksAccounting for years to manage our small retail store. Purchased unlimited transaction early on in EasyBooksAccounting Store and it worked flawlessly.

However, now app creator forcing customer to purchase syncing plan that we don’t want or need and unlimited transactions are now limited until additional purchase of syncing plan, that is billed yearly, purchased. Very disappointed!

Company responds to now use EB lite to get what you’ve already paid for...however...EB Lite now says “unlimited” transactions numbers reached and you must purchase an additional subscription....stay away from this company with a 10 foot poll!

I used QuickBooks for many years. (35years) I much prefer easy books as it runs much smoother on IOS devices and is very quick to react to inputting data. I think QuickBooks should change there name to slow books as in an IOS environment they look pathetic by comparison.

Please add field for tel numbers on customers profile setup. Also make it possible to be able to pull up a customer info card...
EasyBooksAccounting is great and easy to use. I have been using it personally for private finance management now I use it to manage a small business.

Perfect for my small cleaning business. I live in the USA so it took so finagling to make it work for me. And fortunately when I called customer services the guy I spoke to used to live in
Virginia. He was a HUGE help.

If IRS came at me I would have so much proof of income thanks to EasyBooksAccounting.

Great program for invoicing

Easy books is great. Support is excellent. All good. If I could I would give it 4.5 because a few things aren’t as intuitive as I would like, but that is the purist in me. Overall excellent.

I have used a number of business accounting packages. By far the best is Easy Books. It is flexible, powerful and “easy” to use, as the name implies. Support is also spot on. Hugely valuable tool, syncs across devices perfectly.

I paid for unlimited transactions for this program because of its simplicity and getting the job done for my small business, I did NOT receive any email from these people (that’s where the lying comes in) I loved this program. Now my access to my previous transactions are blocked unless I get a subscription. I DON’T WANT A SUBSCRIPTION. I WANT WHAT I PREVIOUSLY PAID FOR. I want a refund because of the fraudulent actions this company perpetuated.

You should of left easy books alone and created easy books pro... instead of screwing us over with easy books lite. I can’t transfer all of my data over to lite... my online syncing is good through June and It won’t let me sync all of the data over...

Has worked very very well for me. I I was a happy QuickBooks user before using Easy Books sticking with easy books for now.

Used this for years great program easy to use

I am a small business owner who writes all invoices on the iPhone In the field. I also write all estimates in the field from my iPhone (see 1 below). I love EasyBooksAccounting and I have tried a number of others (cheaper and more expensive). This is the one I have settled on to run my business accounting system. It fits my mobility needs and with a little tweaking would earn 5 stars from me. In order of priority:
1. Please add an estimate add-on for those of us who need it. I am forced to use a different app to do this and then retype into Easybooks later. Who wants to write the same info twice? There would of course need for the estimate to be convertible into an invoice with a simple convert or a copy mode like Invoice2go does it. Don't forget to add signature blocks, etc.
2. Really happy to see syncing. Sure would be nice to sync with something other than another iPhone or iPad. I use a pc desktop in my home office. I know. It's on it's way out but it's what is most used by small business for now.
3. Add a button to input services to remember and then recall them automatically when you need them to be inserted later (again like Invoice2go - but allow the user to organize them in a particular order).

I attempted numerous times to delete an account they use asan example, but I was not able. I spent like 10 minutes trying, but enough was enough. Delete EasyBooksAccounting .

This is also helpful apps .

I thought it would be easy to upload my bank statements into this program, but I can’t figure it out and am so discouraged that I’m going to ask for my money back
