For years you guys have given the same garbage answer and you've done nothing about it. You do not understand how important it is or we would have had that option years ago. Don't say meaningless crap. Wastes my time worse than QuickBooks' laborious and multi-step processes.

I have lost so many effing hours just because this autosave feature does not exist.

 

I have been a subscriber for over twenty years.

 

Please! It's a simple, yet practical request.

Your amazing incompetence is outmatched solely by your mastery in making apologies and excuses.

If only you apply this energy toward creating the one simple feature for which all of your subscribers have been asking.

I've lost COUNTLESS HOURS to this silly idiosyncrasy. This is NOT another attempt to help intuit understand the scale of this problem. This is an attempt by a good Samaritan to KEEP OTHERS AWAY!

 

Thank you Intuit for making it SO EASY TO LEAVE!

 

I've used QB for 15 years. In that time, it has been the cause of so much anger and frustration, has cost me SO MUCH TIME AND MONEY, but putting the time and energy into finding & learning something new has kept me locked in.

 

NO MORE!

 

I've blocked off time in my calendar to find a new solution and urge as many people as possible to do the same. I am a technologist by trade, employed by a large MSP as a high level system integrator. 

 

I will NEVER suggest an Intuit product again. I haven't recommended QB to anyone in years, but still find myself integrating it into a solution sporadically, when a customer isn't comfortable with anything else. Never again! QB is officially demoted to a list of software we will not support because of how much trauma it causes, in the same bucket as torrent software and undocumented legacy applications.

 

No response necessary on this one... we are a lost cause.

Goodby.

All of these unresolved issues with QBO have led me to the conclusion that either Intuit does not have anyone that can program their systems or their base level software is so inflexible that making any changes is nearly impossible. It is probably a combination of both. We are almost finished transitioning everything to Zoho Books and very happy so far. I have not logged into QBO in months and definitely don't miss these constant frustrations.  In full disclosure I checked and in Zoho Books you still have to save an invoice, etc before leaving but the website isn't constantly logging you off every few hours. I really only have to log back in when I close the browser or restart my computer. Also the Zoho apps are so much more capable and don't feel like there are so many things I can only do on a computer browser.  Zoho definitely has some issues that they haven't fixed after years of complaints as well but I haven't found a deal breaker I couldn't work around. Every software platform is imperfect but hopefully you find one that has minor annoyances instead of glaring problems.
