QuickBooks Online on the iPhone

 

Must be viewed from your iPhone

The iPhone UI for QBOE looks great!  Are there plans to allow users to update information from the iPhone UI?

Having access to contact information is nice, but adding new customers or updating contact information on the road would be awesome!

Thanks very much for your feedback, Brian. We completely agree with you, and that’s the direction we’d like to move toward. At the moment we have no timetable for providing that capability. However, if and when we do, you’ll probably see it here first. So check back every so often!

This would be perfect if I could just collect money and enter payments/deposits on-site right into the app! Any chance you can add this feature? Pleeeaaaasssee? =)

I agree with Aaron.  Pleeeaaasssee!?!?  Entering an invoice from anywhere would be terrific.  Then, to be able to FAX it right to the customer I’m standing in front of would be too cool.

Aaron and HJ, we appreciate your feedback. We totally agree with you! Based on feedback like yours, we know that being able to enter data is going to be important in the mobile space. Please watch this site for enhancements that we make, and please send more ideas as you think of them.

Aaron, with Intuit Billing Manager (http://www.intuitlabs.com/apps/billing-manager) you can actually invoice your clients, and if you sign up for the optional QuickBooks Merchant Service, accept credit card payments right into the app, or from your iPhone at your client’s site.

Hope this helps,

Using my iTouch to access QBOE is great… just wish we could see a payroll dashboard as well with the things to do alerts (pay employee dates, payroll tax dates, and upcoming payroll forms due dates.

I played around with the demo company and this app looks like a great start.  However, I am a mac user.  When will I be able to use QuickBooks Online on my mac?

Love the demo...I agree with all of the suggested upgrades… and I’ll echo Rick above and ask when will I be able to use Quickbooks Online on my Mac? Great work otherwise…

Would love to be able to enter data such as credit card reciepts for purchases.  For instance for my small business when I pay for gas at the gas station, to be able to enter that charge and not have to carry around the receipt for days until I get home to enter it.

When will the day come that QBOE will be available for Mac users. I currently have two years worth of data in QBOE and hate, repeat hate having to use Windows to access this information. SMBs need mobility and flexibility and QBOE is the great, would be the best if I could access on the road using my MAC.

Would nice to be able to enter time on iphone (i.e. Weekly Timesheet). Now I enter time into a seperate application and manually transfer it to Quickbooks.

Great idea, but QuickBooks online doesn’t even work on a Mac?  Shouldn’t that be a first priority?

I Second T. Hall’s Comment. In fact, I think I know a lot of people that would.

As a small professional services firm (10 people) that is Mac based we have had to invest hundreds of unnecessary dollars to maintain our accounting system on Windows emulation in order to have our accountant easily review our accounts. This of course started with loss of QB on mac and then it was impossible to get back to the mac with truly interchangable files across platforms. Add the horrible payroll modules and cross platform compatibility, cost and convenience have been sacrificed. Add the MacOnline and iphone dimension and I can only say the Intuit appears o be doing everything it can to create confusion, distrust and desire for us to look elsewhere.

It is pretty, but useless.  You can’t enter billable time or do any other meaningful work as far as I can tell.

Seriously, when can we just do it on the Mac?  Once this topic comes up notice how mac support stops posting.

Don’t come down on me too hard here, but our company has been using quickbooks pro for over 15 years but only on our network.  How do I go about getting online access to the information.  As president of the company, this would be a great asset for me.

I agree with JP. Nice interface, but useless until I can enter employee timesheets or billable time. Or be able to enter expenses.
That’s kind of expensive for a $120/year viewer.
And please support the Mac.

It would be NICE if Quickbooks Online worked with a Mac. As it is now, QB Online is worthless to me. When will Intuit support the Mac as it does Windows? Time for me to move on. See ya!

How about just having a web interface that works with any browser? That way it won’t matter what OS you’re using: Windows, Mac, Linux, Symbian, Android, etc.

Hello Mac users - we hear you! Here is a statement that was made on our QuickBooks community message boards about a month ago from our QuickBooks Online Product Development leader:

“We are actively working on making our product compatible with other browsers (including Safari). We have a large product that currently uses ActiveX and was initially tuned to work with Internet Explorer. Therefore, it will require a large amount of work and will take some time on our part to accomplish. As you can see from the iPhone application, we have passion for Mac within our team!

Additionally, we too would like to use Firefox. We are in this with you; we just need some time to make it all happen.

Thanks for your continued loyalty and passion for QuickBooks Online and for sharing your thoughts and advice with each other in our community.

Warmest Regards,
Thai Bui - QuickBooks Online Product Development Leader”

Can this run on a Windows Mobile Smartphone? which is a much more common platform among business users.

Wonderful. good to see this
