Tiny Invoice: Receipt Maker Reviews

by Jjdaddy_23

TinyInvoice is a great concept and convenient to use on the go. However the usability needs work. Such as the ability to change the email within the application. As my business develops as does my professionalism in wanting my email to match my business, Tiny Invoice cannot offer that. Customer service is poor, they have no direct contact to answer a question via phone, it’s all email. That process has taken anyway from three days to a week plus. Great for getting your business started but as it grows I have little confidence TinyInvoice can keep up. I recently got a new phone, the data didn’t transfer properly from old phone to new phone. After not hearing back from customer service I had to manually correct each error, which was very time consuming. I recommend only buying subscription monthly as if you pay for the annual they won’t refund money.

I’ve been using TinyInvoice since March 2018 and have found it to be incredibly useful… until the last update. I entered time and expense to create an invoice this weekend. When I was done with the invoice I previewed it and when I closed the preview I was logged out of TinyInvoice . Upon logging back in, the invoice I had created was gone as were the time and expense entries.
Today I reentered the same time and expense and recreated the invoice. Upon completion I once again previewed the invoice and once again TinyInvoice logged me out. When TinyInvoice finally relaunched it had erased everything I had entered since March. 8 months of time and expense from multiple projects.
I have reached out to support in hopes that they can help me retrieve this info. So far their response has not been promising. I’m hoping they will come through and when they do I will update this review. Until then I cannot recommend TinyInvoice as a secure and trustworthy business tool.

I initially loved TinyInvoice. Used it for a complete month. It was on auto renew, and of all days for it to not work, during my busy time of the year. It kept up with sales, customers and their purchases, and even expenses!! I was super excited. Today I went in to create a new invoice and a message kept popping up saying to renew or restore subscription. I went in Muriel’s times and updated, renewed, resubscribed, updated app.... and nothing........I then decided to log out and log back in, and now it is saying my account, which is only a month old never existed.😱😱😱 Good thong I downloaded all the excel files and screen shooted all my customers and invoices or I’d be screwed. I don’t like the fact there is no support available and when I went to submit a new password it took me to a Website that was not secured, nor do they have an actual website.

I’ve been a customer for over two years and have loved TinyInvoice! I’ve used it daily to help grow my business. I have loved the detailed reporting and projections I can make with TinyInvoice. Then it crashed on me and erased all of my data for the last two years. I have zero information on my Pro account now. I’ve reached out to the developers before leaving my review, but haven’t heard back from them. I’m so upset about this, and right before tax season too. Now I have to scramble to recreate all my unpaid invoices, the ones I still need to send out, etc... and find a new app that was as great as Tiny Invoice as well. It really has everything I’m looking for. I’m giving it two stars because up until this happened, I would have given it five stars. If this is a technical error and my information can be recovered, I’ll be removing this review. Until then, I feel I need to warn others of what can happen.

TinyInvoice is almost great, but a few things leave it wanting, hence a 3 star rating. Almost all the issues revolve around syncing. Sync is soooooo sloooooow. It takes forever sometimes, even on gigabit wifi. I suggest that If sync is going to be that slow, ad a sync indicator so you can tell it is syncing. Also, it needs to sync the business settings over. Otherwise you have to manually recreate the templates on each device. Some things are a bit unpolished, like it forces you to enter data in some fields before you can cancel. Finally, I cannot tell how to add more than one business (I’d like to track several non profits on this).

Other than that, this is a beautiful app that is simple and easy to use.

Im really happy TinyInvoice is available and I hope it never goes away or starts charging to use it. I would even pay a little for it if asked. A few things to address that would change my rating to 5 stars:

—I’d like the option to remove the due date.
—I can’t figure out how to remove items from an invoice... so far I’ve had to redo the whole thing if I mistakenly add an item.
—when I add an item, at the top of the screen are ITEM, TIME and EXPENSES tabs, but if I click on time or expenses it says “not enough information”. I wish I could use those functions , if only cuz they’ve put it out there, but at that point I just think “this is dumb” and add the stuff in items, which would be fine and probably easier overall but not being able to use these functions just makes me wonder what I’m missing out on. This seems kinda dumb. Either make it easy to use and/or functional or take the option out cuz every time I get to that screen I’m compelled to click on the time and expenses tabs just to see if I can use them, and I never can so it’s just wasting my time.

Other than that, this is a great app. I only make a few invoices a month so it’s not worth paying what other apps charge. I don't need anything fancy. TinyInvoice is a free, simple to use, no frills invoice and estimate maker which is exactly what I need and i really appreciate being able to use it.

I’m a self employed music teacher, and needed something simple to generate and email invoices to my clients. It gets the job done, no hassles, easy to set up, and dependable. The only thing I would like to see is that it would be great if the iPad app and the iPhone app would sync together; in other words, set up the business one time, and then have all of the invoices and settings sync from one device to the other over iCloud. They do sync now, to a degree, but it’s not real seamless, and sometimes things fall through the cracks if you, for instance, generate an invoice on your phone, and then expect to see it on your iPad. It will eventually show up, but not immediately. Sometimes also you can take a payment on one device, apply it to a specific invoice, but the payment won’t apply to the same invoice on the other device. For the time being, I have just avoided using two devices. Stick to either iPad, or iPhone, and you’ll be totally set.

“So far so good” TinyInvoice has help a start up with little to no start up budget look professional to my clients I am interested to see how long these guys keep up the good work and interested in seeing what’s next. This past year I have travelled a lot doing contract jobs for conventions and small events “Tiny Invoice” has helped me keep up with quick changes and add ones from my clients, making expense reports, and travel time “Tiny Invoice” is awesome even on the fly my only improvement suggestion would be the sync of info between IPhone and IPad does not sync very well so I just go with the iPad mostly when we do site visits but when a client needs info from me right away my iPhone is best so if the sync between the two is a bit stronger a definite Five stars from me

I’ve been using Tiny Invoice for over 5 years now and still absolutely love it. I’m a freelance filmmaker so I often have to send an invoice for labor or rental fees to a production company.

TinyInvoice makes it very easy and lets me send off a simple, custom, and professional invoice. Since I’m often not at my home office while working in the field it’s super helpful to be able to quickly make and send invoices right from my iPhone.

I use other apps to help me with my freelance bookkeeping such as QuickBooks Self-Employed. I love that app for record keeping but their invoice system is horrible compared to Tiny Invoice. TinyInvoice has only gotten better over the years and it’s always been great for what I need.

I have tried a few other invoicing apps over the years and none have ever been as simple to use and free of charge as Tiny Invoice. I would 100% recommend for anyone who needs an invoice app just for a day or for many years.

I’ve been using the pro version of TinyInvoice for over a year and have always given it rave reviews but today i had to drop my rating to 1 star until further notice. I hope you can help. I was instructed to log back into my tiny invoice account this morning and couldn’t remember my password so I reset it. When I logged in with my new password all of my data for the past year was gone. It’s as if I have just started a new account. Please help!!! I have taxes to file and now have no records. Thank you,

I’ve used it for the past three year in a small one person locksmith business. It allows you to customize work product and merchandise, figure sales tax and send invoices both paid and due. Only glitch that I’ve found is in the reports section; it misses some payments and shows amounts due that aren’t actually unpaid. One thing I’d like to see is a report line item accounting on merchandise sold and the tax collected. It would help with paying the sales taxes at the end of the year.

by Kbutter

Used for over a year now and it’s been so helpful! There are a couple of small changes I’d like but TinyInvoice has exactly what I was looking for AND need as a self employed person. It was very easy to upload my logo. I like emailing right to client for estimate and invoices and being able to customize amounts and add as many different options as possible for items. Also has a standard email & notes template you can customize. I’d like to create a few of those to select per client but otherwise it is excellent.
It also gives you running totals for outstanding invoices and that’s great for keeping on track of receivables!
The time or expense feature is awesome and also adding tax ( or not) to items automatically.

by Truly Humble

Tiny invoice has made the process of generating invoices so easy! The process that was once an annoying task has become more of something that I look forward to. The templates available make it easy to send professional invoices with minimal effort. TinyInvoice remembers the jobs and prices for easy input for any future jobs, links to my email to send them off, and is an all around joy to use. Normally I hate when apps leave prompts for me to review the product but I was more than happy to take time out to review TinyInvoice. Easily my favorite invoice app that I've come across, EVER!

by HogwartsHobbit

TinyInvoice has really helped me be more responsible by seeing how much money I’m bringing in, and which invoices have not yet been paid. I am now able to follow-up and enforce my policy of payment within 30 days. It has really helped me be so much more organized - I’m not a large enough business to do something like Quickbooks and honestly I like this better anyways!! I own a small piano tuning and repair business that I’m growing into a full-time business, and this has just taken me to the next level with Rey tidy, professional looking invoices and estimates. Love TinyInvoice! Thank you Tiny Invoice!

I was clumsy learning to use it but man! This is awesome for my catering business. All my menu items are in one place and its push-of-a-button easy!! Suddenly invoices are on hand all the time. Estimates are available on the fly. So so easy.

Update: her we are, a year or so later, and we still love it. We use the clover for the restaurant purchases and this for catering when people need to turn in an invoice.

They’ve updated TinyInvoice so that an email is needed in the customer field to send the invoice, but I usually just put my own in, and forward from my own email. Sometimes, you just don’t have a customers email address.

Updated review:
I basically had to start over but so far so good. I’m still terrified that I’ll lose all data again. Issue was never resolved.

I had been using TinyInvoice for 6 months. Everything was great until yesterday when it prompted me to renew my AUTO subscription. It could not find my information so I deleted TinyInvoice and reinstalled. I login to my account and EVERYTHING is gone!!! 😭 I’m buying upset. This is a HUGE inconvenience. I have already emailed the developer, waiting on a reply. So Mr Developer, before you give me your basic general reply, CHECK YOUR EMAILS. Please help me fix this! 🙏

I was looking for a simple app to do invoicing the didn't involve a monthly fee so I gave Tiny invoice a try ... and I haven’t looked back. Many invoicing apps are bloated and built in a way that makes if difficult to make changes to your information. With Tiny Invoice if you want to change the date, amount, name, address, or anything on an invoice you can just do it, before, during or after you have created it. It saves it just like you want it. You never have to start over because you made a mistake. And it’s fast. My only wish is that you could text the invoice when done. Right now all you can do is email it. What a find!!!

I started the general construction company several years ago. I struggled looking for an application to do my invoicing that would also keep track of my progress and customer contact list. I’ve been using TinyInvoice for a little over three years and I have zero complaints. Very easy to use and provides a professional look for my customers. I’m also able to save my sales progress and log customers information. I have since tried other invoicing apps but they do not compare. If you’re on the fence on which one to use, get this one. Stay organized. You and your customers will be happy.

I have a very small seasonal business and I don’t earn enough to spend it on an to keep track of money in and out. TinyInvoice does it for me and it’s free! Really easy to use and I can send pics with my invoices as well as send duplicates to my email.
Would be nice to send an invoice/estimate/bill without prices to a customer and if they want a break down I could select that option and send a new one.
It would also be good if in TinyInvoice I can put my cost of the item and what I make on each sale.
I will continue to use TinyInvoice and watch it grow and improve. When I have a question, I email the people who made it and they return with a response in a day or two.

Absolutely love TinyInvoice so far and I’ve been using it for a couple of months now. I like that it gives you several invoice design options and can change the color. 3 things I do not like about it…1. It former give me the option to keep the tax button turned off. 2. It gives me the option to input unit items, but when I sell something it doesn’t subtract any items. Idk it I’m just not using TinyInvoice correctly but I don’t see where units pertain to anything if it doesn’t do anything once an item is sold. 3. I can’t sync/open it on my laptop. If one of TinyInvoice creators/developers could enlighten me on any of I would greatly appreciate it.

I have been using Tiny Invoice for about a year. I prefer Tiny Invoice over the invoice program in QuickBooks. TinyInvoice has a few different templates to choose from, and allows me to upload my company logo, which adds to the professionalism. I like the stamped paid feature I can add for my records and for my clients after they pay me. The invoice duplicate feature is very handy so that I don’t have to create an invoice from scratch every time. The sales report tools are nice as well and easy to export to an excel sheet. Customization is easy and can make your estimates or invoices very simplified or as full as much detail you could ever need. Thanks creators of Tiny Invoice!

TinyInvoice is a breeze! It’s so easy to send off invoices as soon as I finish with a client! Many times I write it up when I get back in my car! One of the features that help me the most is being able to easily look and see what invoices are still outstanding by client. I love that everything is so easy to set up and saved so I can create an invoice quickly. One thing I’d like is to be able to text an invoice. My favorite feature is being able to send an attachment. I’m a Home Stager so I can send before- after pictures and also copies of receipts if need be.
