Invoice Simple: Invoice Maker Reviews

by Marcus Pandolfo

InvoiceSimple and features are great. And I’d have no issue paying for it accept 1 major thing, when you download InvoiceSimple there is no sign up. Just start putting in customers info and creating invoices on jobs. Sounds great right? Except at some point you will open InvoiceSimple and not have access to any of the invoices you’ve created unless you sign up right then and there. So let’s say you create an invoice for a job. Your customer pays a deposit and there is a balance due. You finish the job and go to get paid. But guess what information you don’t have access to when you open this invoice app? Nothing. You will not have access to the customers information, balance due, job details, nothing. You also will not be able to change the balance due to $0 or provide your customer with an invoice that now says paid. I’d rather know that I need to pay a monthly fee up front and it wouldn’t be a problem but InvoiceSimple makes it seem free. And I found out that I needed to sign up and pay while trying to get paid on a job and provide an invoice that says paid. It was not good timing to cut off access to my invoices that were in progress. I’m more then upset.

Update!
I just received an email stating that they had made a mistake in changing my subscription price. They stated that they had restored my mobile app subscription, although I have not tried to use it since I just received the correction email. I always want to be fair about anything I write about any company, so if they do reinstate what I thought I had been paying for all along as their mobile app for $5.99 per month, I will be very happy to update my review.

I have used InvoiceSimple since May 2019 on my iPhone. Suddenly yesterday I was trying to send an invoice and received a screen telling me to upgrade in order to send my invoices. I have always paid the mobile app price of $5.99 per month as clearly stated in InvoiceSimple ’s pricing structure for the mobile app. Now I’m being told via email that I have to log into the web to use the features that I have been paying to use on the mobile app for almost 3 years. I wasn’t even aware there was a web version until yesterday, so why am I being asked to pay for more to use the mobile app then their own app’s pricing states? They said in the email that I will have to pay $9.99 to use the mobile app, yet my auto pay has been $5.99 for almost 3 years and it worked flawlessly. This is why companies end up failing in the long term, they seem to get greedy, and try to charge more than their own companies prices stated are, and or constantly raise their prices.

I’ve been using the invoice maker for the past year and a half. Up until now, everything has been fine. All of a sudden, they’ve decided to start making changes to the format and layouts. Now, even with an item or 2 on the invoice, it takes 2 pages to print. Also, the layout showing number of customers and invoices has been changed. Now I don’t know how many sales I’ve made each month until they’re paid in full. No way to keep up with monthly sales that way. Very bad customer service not willing to work with me. I used to be able to change the layout of the invoice; no more. You’re stuck with the one they make for you. If you put 3 or more line items, you’re printing into a 2nd page. This leaves you no room for notes or creating places for customers to sign. Fix these issues and I’ll be back.

I hate to whine, but I’m really disappointed with your new upgrade. I was enjoying InvoiceSimple enough to purchase it and continue using it, but ever since the upgrade I can no longer record partial payments, payment type or write notes. Now you can only mark an invoice as paid with no option to put in the correct date. I also don’t really love the new look of the invoices. There used to be a choice between 2 styles, but now you just get the standard layout and my logo has shrunk and any photos I upload look strange as they are left aligned rather than centered as they were previously. Please let me know if I am missing something. As far as I can tell those payment recording options have just simply vanished. Wish I hadn’t installed the upgrade.

I’m a licensed general contractor and I hate invoices I am ADHD and LAZ why. Had them both since I was born. I’ll reason I became a contractor is because I didn’t want to go to work LOL anyway, I’ve tried every which way to cough up an invoice since that is what I have to do to get paidUntil we find a simpler way. Simple voice is the best when it comes to using a free app with no charges no hidden fees and unbelievable nothing to it no directions needed invoice making. In fact I’ve never wrote a review on any thing I’ve ever bought even if I really loved it. I guess I’m writing this review because I’m thankful. In a world where everybody’s lying cheating and stealing from each other like it’s normal because no one gets in troubleNo one takes responsibility for their actions and everybody can hide slowly but surely behind the big black wall of privacy given to them by do you know who… I’m thankful that somebody made something for me I don’t know who you are but thank youEverybody sees this review that needs to make an invoice and use this one.

I’ll start off by said that I love InvoiceSimple. I love the professional invoices I’m able to make. But I do have a few requests. I would love to see in the EDIT ITEM area another spot I can include my material for the job. Having to include my material in my price has been raising a lot of questions from my customers. They are wanting to see the material and my labor separate. I also wish they had a quick search in estimates / invoice / and in paid / a lot less scrolling to search for a previous estimate and invoices would be nice. I would also like to see who I’ve sent invoices and estimates to. I did realize I would get a confirmation when I open InvoiceSimple if my customers received the estimates or invoices. I would just like documentation for my records down the road.

Been using this invoice app for years. As a painting business we can’t always rely on the paper estimates/invoice as minds are always changing and it would be wasteful and confusing to try to keep track of all the papers. This makes it easy to write up your estimate, email or text (which is a great way to keep a paper trail), and change to an invoice by clicking a button. It lets you know when they’ve received, and read, your estimate/invoice. There’s an option to receive payments through InvoiceSimple but we personally did not want to pay the percentage or wait the three day wait period but still a great option nonetheless. We love InvoiceSimple and it has helped tremendously with our business!

I love Invoice Simple! It keeps track of invoices and invoice numbers for me. It saves previous information and it makes it so easy when you have to send an invoice to the same business. I get notified when the email is opened. My favorite feature is being able to mark an invoice as paid and it goes into its own folder. So now you have two folders one unpaid and one paid. So incredibly easy! You can also upload your business logo so that your invoices are received with your logo in the top corner. There are other features that I don’t use yet but I’m sure I will once I have the need. The small monthly fee is definitely worth it if you send out a lot of invoices and you need help keeping track of all the information.

I really like this invoicing system. Ive used it for 3 years now. I do have some concerns about the operation and navigation on InvoiceSimple though. I would really like a search bar to be added to the invoices, estimates, and paid categories. If you need to search for a past invoice, you’ll have to scroll though all the invoices you’ve done throughout the year. The same is true with you contacts... if you do business with the same customer its a beating to find their info on InvoiceSimple because you have to scroll through all your contacts instead of being able to go to a search bar and just search them. It sure would be easier if they could fix the problem. That’s the only reason why I’m giving InvoiceSimple 4 stars instead of 5.

Just a quick review of Invoice Simple. When I started my business a few months ago I did a search to look for a “Simple” product to invoice and track customer equipment. I found Invoice Simple. I down loaded it figuring if I didn’t like the format or the ease of operation, I would delete it and try another. After a half hour or so of playing around with different settings and sample estimates and invoices I decided to give it a try. Fast forward a few months. My business is growing and Invoice Simple is just that, simple. The format lends itself a perfect amount of area to document everything I do and the ability to send the invoices directly to the customer is a perfect fit for me. I recommend this product if your starting out or want something easy to use, Good Stuff

I love InvoiceSimple & use it everyday. I can be at home or in my car, equally easy, right up my alley since I’m not tech oriented. My wife insisted I use it & I delegated it to someone else. When she found out I was paying someone to do my invoices she sat me down & showed me how easy it was, she was right. Why write out a bid on paper when I can go straight to invoice simple. My only issue is she used her email to sign up & we can’t figure out how to change the account email over to my email. We’ve looked under every tab & there’s no where to change account email. Besides that super easy. I know I should learn QuickBooks but not there yet, baby steps!

by Sakccotx

It’s amazingly easy to use and makes my invoices easy and simple. Like how you can add pictures to the estimates/invoices. However it would wonderful if customers could click on the pay invoice and be able to make a payment without paying full amount. Particularly when customers are putting a deposit on a project then final payment after completion. Currently have to request separate transaction on PayPal then go back to invoices apply that payment so balance due is correct then send over email reflecting it. This would be easier for customers as well. Also a way to track any refunds or money given back to customer would be nice. With the option of putting notes in the invoice to notate any updates or changes.

I have downloaded and paid for so many apps trying to find something that made my life as a contractor a little easier and cut down my time working at home after I get off. I would put in a full day of labor and then come home to 4-5 hours a writing BIDS on my PC. So far InvoiceSimple allows me to do my BIDs anywhere my phone can go, so everywhere at anytime. And it has really sped up the entire process as a whole for me. I LOVE that you can make your own price list! That is something very unique and something I couldn’t find in other apps. It’s simple to use, which is awesome because I’m horrible at tech stuff. Type up the BID, take photos, write notes, multiple options of how to send that BID, price list, Invoices, payments. Really a great job on InvoiceSimple. And the customer service is quick and very friendly. Thank you!! Two Thumbs Up!

I have used many apps so far for the price range this one is the better of is class. I would make a few changes if I where then. 1. Have it so you can separate material and labor cost, and it adds up the items separate and together, also in the monthly total do it there as well. 2. Also I'm not sure if the new version does but have it work with tax software and book keeping software 3. I would love to see more formats for invoice layout. 4. Maybe a way to look up a item or customer or invoice through a search bar. I know you guys will put these changes in to InvoiceSimple cause you have made many changes already, plus want to see your 5 star rating stay 5. Thanks for your hard work keep on making your app better.
P.s. you should buy InvoiceSimple is pretty good for handyman services.

Initially downloaded InvoiceSimple just to play around and see how easy or difficult to use it would be, what features I would be able to use if any, and how professional it would look as a small business owner. I mist say I ended up purchasing InvoiceSimple. Its very easy to use, gives you a very professional look, and has some pretty neat features. I can upload my business logo to add to the top of the invoice, add individual items into InvoiceSimple itself so I can easily have description and priced stored for quicker invoices, Record payments and multiple ones at that. In my sweets business I always require a deposit 3 weeks in advance and balance due 1 week before pick up/delivery and being able to record multiple payments are a great way to keep track of everything. The customers find it very easy to read and understand the invoice. LOVE LOVE LOVE InvoiceSimple.

I recently sold my tiny organic produce store and have just started a market garden. I plan to sell a few things to the store this season, only basil and sugar snap peas next week. Next year I should be really starting to crank out the veggies. Rather than fiddling with paper receipts, I decided to download an invoice app. InvoiceSimple is so elegant, you would think that someone read my mind and added everything necessary and no fiddly useless stuff. I love that I can create an estimate that later can be updated to an invoice. It saves a library of items, so I don’t have to re-enter each product with each new invoice. Client information is saved so that it can automatically be entered into the document. There is a place to put your logo and there are a number of different layout options from simple to professional. It allows you to send the invoice directly from InvoiceSimple . Perfect!

I love InvoiceSimple. It does exactly what I need it to do and it’s relatively cheap. It’s super simple to use and has many great and useful features. One of the biggest downsides is that it’s relatively expensive to use their “online payment” options. It charges 2.9% plus .30 cents for each transaction. Therefore if you are using InvoiceSimple for a construction business where thousands of dollars are moved around that adds up to a pretty hefty fee. I would be fine paying even $20 a month of the client’s online payment option was free.

What I would like to see changed, is that once an estimate been turned into an invoice for the signature line to change to invoice. As of right now it transfers the “note” from an estimate to invoice so you have to correct that manually.

Also would be nice if estimates once turned into invoice would disappear from the estimates tab-which indicates active projects.

This is the first app I've ever bought. That's how awesome it is. Typically I don't buy apps since they are difficult or I can't see myself getting my money's worth out of it. That all changed with InvoiceSimple. Being a consultant and small business owner I do a lot of invoicing and billing to clients. They are typically very confused and can't understand the costs. However, with this, it is easy to read, well laid out, and sooo easy to prepare. The ability to text it or email is a life saver for those who have smartphones now. All I can say is if you write invoices periodically, you need to get this! Only down side is you can't shuffle or move the new items around once you've typed them in. They need to be in order as you type them. If there is ever an update I would love to see that feature just in case I got something out of order so I don't have to erase things. Other than that, it is perfect and a must have!!

I used to have the free version and then paid for it. I have used it a couple of years ago and loved it. It used to give me easy to do, clean invoices. Now, I have a logo that I don’t want (a pair of lips) on the right hand side of my logo that I cannot get rid of. I go to settings and press delete and save, but then it’s back again. I spent an hour trying to delete and save and it will not go away. I tried adding a new image in the end to get rid of the lips, it won’t save the new image, it just keeps the stupid one of lips. I can’t send that in to a company - so now I have paid for something that makes my invoices look ridiculous. Update this bug please - or refund me. Updating this now. If anyone else has this issue, I went to the website and the only way I could get rid of the image was to put something over the top of it. So of you don’t want an image, screen shot a white page and I sent this so it looks like nothing is there! So silly.

I just came across InvoiceSimple for the first time, and already love it. It creates beautifully detailed and organized invoices I can send to my design clients. Along with the detailed invoices, listing merchandise I’ve purchased for my clients, I can also attach photos of their decor, furniture, and copies of any store receipts, and etc. and all of it is attached to the same invoice as a single document. This will save me SO much time! Plus, I can do it all from my phone, without having to sit down at my computer, which is SO nice.

Once I entered the detailed info, I was able to email/text the invoice to my design clients for them to immediately view. InvoiceSimple then lets you know once your clients have viewed the invoice, which is also a nice feature.

The developer even sent me an email after I first used it to see what else I would recommend adding to make InvoiceSimple more user friendly. I’ve never had a developer reach out before. Thought it was pretty cool. Thank you for developing InvoiceSimple! So lucky to have found it!

Update: Still LOVING InvoiceSimple 3 years later! Now they have added so I can easily send invoices to my customers and allowing the customer to pay directly thru their email.
InvoiceSimple is wonderful. It's easy to use and convenient. I can make invoices/estimates on sight at a job and email them quickly to my customers. It allows to mark them paid as well and send my customer a receipt. I can keep track of all invoices that have or have not been paid right on my phone. No need to go back to the office to finish paper work! I was extremely surprised that the creator of InvoiceSimple contacted me as well, they asked what if any improvements could be done to make my life easier. Definitely a 5-star/A+ app !

I'm very skeptical to buy apps. Most of them not worth my money. I found InvoiceSimple to help me do invoicing at any given time without having to scribble through them. I run an agricultural seasonal business and my time is very limited due to it being a seasonal job. My invoicing piles up and next thing you know I'm behind a few weeks and after finding InvoiceSimple I can simply make invoices before I go to sleep or when I wake up at the comfort of my bed before leaving for the day. And I simply wifi to my printer and print any invoice. Very very helpful. I would like to see a few more font styles and customization of lettering but other than that can not complain !

If you're sitting on the fence wondering if you should purchase InvoiceSimple or not to be quite honest with you for the price $2.99 a month I don't think you can go wrong. You have the ability to create estimates, create invoices, and the ability to send everything via email. Love the fact you get notified when they see your invoice. I do however wish the extraction of files gave us more information I do wish we had the ability to create a mailing list and I do wish we could send the invoice to the customer and they would have the ability or option to pay now BUT for the price of what InvoiceSimple offers I Havassy feel it's an excellent deal.
