What has happened to the app. Everything is malfunctioning and virtually useless?

Hello Rickerby3, thanks for posting on the Community 

We're aware of an earlier issue impacting performance on the iOS app. This was fixed by our Engineering Team as part of the new app version. For the fix to take effect please delete the QuickBooks mobile app from your iOS device and install the most recent version (24.05.9) from the App Store.

If you continue to experience any problems, or if you are using a different version of the app, please comment back down below. 

The iPhone App has had issues the past 3 weeks or so.

if you delete and reinstall, it doesn’t sync all the data back, so you have missing customers, invoices, payments etc. Anything can be missing, hence everyone’s experience is different, save that everyone has missing data. 

It was thought the latest release (overnight Sunday 2nd June) fixed it, but it hasn’t fixed it for us.

Hi James, we thank you for your input. Have you raised this issue with the IOS app with our customer support team previously? If not, so we can get this reraised for you with our senior technicians, what items are you missing in the app and are you able to view them in the browser version. Thanks.

Hi Emma

Thanks for this.

I am in touch with John (who has been very helpful) on case id 15118245643.

John did message me yesterday (Tuesday) to ask if it had been resolved, and I confirmed it had not, so I presume it’s still being looked into.

Hi. 
it was the old app on apple. The latest iOS 17.5.1 forced me to delete the app and reinstall. This has worked and I’m now on the new software and working fine. 

Great, thanks for confirming that's working for you now, Rickerby3. If you do come across any further issues, please get back in touch! 

Thanks @James Read, I can see your case remains escalated with our higher support team. Are you also updated to the latest release of iOS (IOS 17.5.1)?

Hi Giorgia

Yes. We are all on IOS 17.5.1 and Quickbooks 24.05.9.

Download company data now takes about 8 seconds (normally takes a few minutes after a re-install, but ever since this bug it’s been a matter of seconds, as few as 2 seconds).

Full data never syncs, eg overdue invoices is about 2/3’s the total it should be.

Thanks James, we've updated your case with this additional information and our higher support team will be in contact with you via email once there is a progress update. 

In the meantime, please access QuickBooks via a web browser or browser app (Safari for iOS). Thanks again for reaching out to the Community today. We'll be here if you need any other support!

As a longtime user, I did delete the app and reinstall the app today. Did not change a thing. Everything is still messed up and useless to where I cannot conduct business out in the field. This is becoming ridiculous after 10 calls and multiple feedback for the last two months nothing is changing, pulling the customer base and the products and services from the servers instead of what is stored on the phone but only when creating an invoice. When you just go to the customer base or products in the app, it pulls it From what is stored on the device, but when you create an invoice, it pulls it from the servers and all it shows us product numbers no description and no price. We cannot memorize 1000 different products and services this needs to be fixed.!!!!!!!     

We appreciate you contacting our phone support for assistance with resolving the issue and doing the troubleshooting with reinstalling the app, @Bruno2112.

I know that seeing the customer name and products &services when creating an invoice is very important. However, I can suggest contacting our support team again to check this, as they have a secure environment to pull up your account and further investigate the issue. Follow these steps if you're using your mobile app:

1. In your mobile app, go to the Menu.
2. Click the Help icon and press ALL.
3. Choose the Ask QB Assistant a question option. Select Contact Us.
4. Set a specific topic or Ask about something else. Type in a short description in the box provided.
5. Pick Continue, then hit the Callback option.

Moreover, I'm sharing this article to learn more about how to customize your invoice and sales receipt in QBO: Customise invoices, estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online.

If you still have questions about your invoices, you can reply on the thread or create a new one. Have a great day.

It’s almost been a month now, and the iPhone app is still broken.

You’d think it hard to compete with a company with US$ 170 billion market cap, but the lack of haste to fix app issues is unbelievable.

There’s a different bug I reported in January 2024 that still isn’t fixed 5 months later. The invoice list screen incorrectly shows invoices as “not sent”, but if you go into an individual invoice, it correctly shows “sent”. Not only is it not fixed, it recently got switched from a bug report, to an improvement report, so now I fear it will never be fixed.

It’s not like scrolling down a list to check for invoices that haven’t been sent is important!

Hello, I’ve got version 24.08.4 and it’s missing a lot of functionality. Can’t see things like invoices etc. All I have in menu is account settings, request a feature and help. It’s been like this for a couple of weeks. Nothing I do seems to fix it. Had previously done the same thing a couple of months ago but sorted out with update.

I recognize the challenges when the QuickBooks Online (QBO) mobile app isn't working as intended, Matthew. I'll put you in touch with our customer support team to resolve this issue promptly.

2. Tap the Question Mark (?) icon at the upper-right corner of the page.

4. Follow the instructions to continue.

Additionally, I'll share these articles to learn how to import your phone's contact list into the QBO app so you won't have to add customers manually:

Please don't hesitate to visit the Community page for additional assistance accessing mobile app features. We're always around to help. Take care.

Same has happened here, can’t create new invoice without them already being marked as paid and deposited, useless for making invoice s out and about. On latest iOS and app version too, deleted and re-installed multiple times, frustrating and disappointing I’m paying a monthly fee for sub par service. No on in support to talk to other than an air robot that doesn’t understand what your asking.
