They really need to make this possible. In running a remote construction company, we sprung for QB enterprise desktop but it’s been beyond frustrating to need to be at the office to use QB on a desktop when we’re all running iPad pros on the field!!

Your situation might be better served by using QBO instead of QBDT

But even if you had macbooks in the field instead of ipads you still cannot run the PC based QB Enterprise, it's like trying t get apple juice from an orange

An alternative is to install a remote desktop app on your ipads, and each ipad connects back to one PC workstation running QB Enterprise. As long as the PC is on you can run any and all programs on it remotely from the ipads. Just liimit each ipad to its own client workstation to keep users separate in Enterprise. (of course this presumes the following: A. the ipads have 4g or 5g lte connections or B. when remote you have either a free wifi available or use the hot spot built into your iphone)

Thanks for joining this thread, GP1998.

I can certainly understand how a QuickBooks mobile app for iOS devices could be useful and have submitted a suggestion about it as of today.

You can also submit your own feature requests while using QuickBooks.

Here's how:

In the top menu bar, go to Help, Send Feedback Online, then Product Suggestion....
Choose a Type of Feedback and Product Area (optional) from your available drop-down menus.
Enter any suggestions/feedback in the Here is my suggestion: field.
If you'd like, include your name/email in the My name is: (optional) and My e-mail address is: (optional) fields.
Select Send Feedback.

Your feedback's definitely valuable to Intuit. It will be reviewed by our Product Development team and considered in future updates. You can stay up-to-date with the latest news about your product by reviewing Intuit's Product Updates webpage.

You also have the option of checking our QuickBooks App Store for apps which may be able to help you achieve what you're looking to do.

Please feel welcome to send a reply if there's any questions. Have a wonderful Friday!

Your best option is to setup a simple private cloud solution. Your remote users will access QB on any device in a browser in a multiuser environment.

No really, you need to run Quickbooks Software on Windows Server so that you can login through ipad.
