How is the quality of Banana Accounting?
Reviewers report widespread dissatisfaction with the quality of Banana Accounting, with 17 negative mentions out of 23 total reviews. The overall sentiment has remained consistently poor, especially in 2026, where multiple 1-star reviews cite app crashes, inability to open files, and broken cloud integration. While a few users praise the app’s usability on small devices and its clean interface, these positive comments are outnumbered and often come with caveats. The quality issues appear to have worsened after the May 2026 update, with reports of read-only access and persistent crashes across Android, iOS, and Samsung foldable devices. A small number of newer reviews in early 2026 show slight improvement, with one 3.5-star review and a few neutral or mildly positive remarks, but these do not reflect a broader trend. The app’s reliability and functionality remain the primary concerns for most users.
What customers praise
Some users appreciate the app’s lightweight design and usability on smaller devices. One reviewer noted it works well on a small iPhone, and another praised the user-friendly templates and ease of manual data entry. These positive experiences highlight that the app’s core interface and basic functionality can be effective when the app runs properly.
What customers said:
- „Banana Accounting is great for assisting with reporting“
Common complaints
The most common complaints center on app crashes, especially on Android and iOS devices, and the inability to open files from cloud storage like OneDrive. Users report that files open only in read-only mode or not at all, and that the app frequently freezes or fails to respond. Several reviews mention that even basic actions like navigating settings or opening documents no longer work, severely limiting usability.

- „Therefore, I cannot judge how the app is if it fails at startup.“

How it has changed over time
Quality issues have intensified since the May 2026 update, with multiple 1-star reviews citing new problems like read-only file access and broken cloud integration. The app’s performance dropped sharply in 2026, with several months recording 1-star ratings. Although a few reviews in early 2026 show slight improvement, these are isolated and do not indicate a sustained recovery. The overall trend suggests a decline in stability and reliability over time.
What customers said:
- „The app cannot open cloud files; it always shows an error message.“

Practical takeaways
For most users, Banana Accounting is currently not reliable enough for daily use due to frequent crashes and file access issues. The app may still be worth trying for those needing a simple, template-based accounting tool, but only if they are prepared to encounter technical problems. Users should avoid relying on it for critical work until stability improves, especially if using cloud storage or newer devices.
