QuickBooks: App Crashes (Quality)
Reviewers report widespread issues with QuickBooks app crashes, with 107 negative mentions out of 109 total references, and only one positive note. The overwhelming sentiment is strongly negative, centered on the app failing to load, freezing, or crashing during basic tasks like logging in, tracking mileage, or accessing bank data. Many users describe the app as unreliable, slow, and frustrating to use, with some stating it works less than 10% of the time. The few positive comments do not counterbalance the consistent pattern of dysfunction. No monthly history is available, so it's unclear if the problems have worsened or stabilized over time, but the current feedback reflects a persistent and serious reliability issue that impacts core business functions.
What Customers Praise
Customers praise QuickBooks primarily for its web-based interface and some features like invoice creation and bank integration when the app is working. A few users note that the desktop version performs better than the mobile app, and one reviewer mentions the ability to customize reports. However, these positive points are rare and often overshadowed by the app’s instability. The positive feedback does not reflect the majority experience.
What customers said:
- „The app is now slow, unresponsive, and sometimes doesn’t load at all.“
- „The interface regularly changes with very little rhyme or reason.“
Common Complaints
Common complaints include frequent crashes during login, freezing when trying to track mileage or access transactions, and long loading times that can last several minutes. Many users report that the app fails to load at all, gets stuck on the loading screen, or resets unexpectedly. The inability to reliably access bank feeds, save data, or send invoices is a recurring issue. Some users say they must reinstall the app daily just to get it to work for a few hours.
What customers said:
- „spends minutes on the loading screen“
- „Works 10 percent of the time at best“
- „when tracking mileage it 9 times out of 10 just freezes and won’t track“
How It Has Changed Over Time
No monthly history data is available to track changes over time. However, the consistent pattern of negative feedback across multiple reviews suggests that app crashes and instability have been a long-standing issue. Users report that the problems worsened after recent updates, with some calling the latest version 'unusable.' The lack of improvement over time indicates that the core reliability issues remain unresolved.
What customers said:
- „New update on this app is now unusable“
- „Crashes, fails to save or load, log in errors“
Practical Takeaways
Users should consider using the web version of QuickBooks instead of the mobile app, especially for critical tasks like invoicing or bank reconciliation. If the app crashes frequently, try clearing cache, reinstalling, or switching devices. Avoid relying on auto-tracking features until stability improves. If support is needed, be prepared for long wait times and ineffective troubleshooting steps. For now, the app’s unreliability makes it risky for day-to-day business operations.
What customers said:
- „Mileage tracking is a joke“
- „App crashes when logging in often.“
- „Lost count of the times this app won’t load, crashes, repeatedly glitches etc.“
