    Works, and I pay for the premium service which I think is worth the cost. Better than Quickbooks in many ways. But the app lacks most of the features found on the desktop site, like advanced accounting and reporting. And auto tagging misses some obvious transactions - many recurring expenses still show up as "unknown expense" after months. The desktop web app is full featured, but forcing customers to use their desktop is archaic. Give us more app features and please fix auto tagging!

    Great invoice for small businesses on the road, coming in handy for quick, easy invoice sending. However, there is no customer service they like to collect your money, but no support, only online, no phone number. If you get a live agent, they said they will forward your comment or needs to another department, so you get an email after, but no solution

    Doesn't work right. The auto importing of transactions is a great feature. However, the recently set up a pay wall to access this feature...the result is that my transactions quit populating. So I want to pay and resume regular function. However, it won't let me upgrade...and you can't call anyone or get any help. No matter which platform I try to upgrade from I get the "Whoops something went wrong error."
