Hello, getbetter.
The missing income and expense categories are likely caused by a sync issue or an outdated mobile app version. So, I'd like to lay down a few troubleshooting steps to help you fix the issue.

We'll also want to make sure that your mobile app is updated to the latest version. Simply open Google Play or Apple App store from your mobile device, then update the app from there.

This is an old question, but I’ve just started having this problem. Many of my categories are suddenly missing from QuickBooks app on my iPhone. The categories are all intact in QuickBooks online. I have followed the advice and deleted and completely reinstalled the iPhone app. I still have, most of my categories missing on the iOS app.
Please help
