Reviewers consistently report poor communication from sevDesk, with 41 out of 44 mentions labeled negative. The overwhelming sentiment centers on a lack of transparency, unreliable updates, and unmet promises regarding feature rollouts. Customers frequently express frustration over being left in the dark, about changes, renewals, pricing shifts, and the status of promised fixes. While a few users note minor positives, such as the ability to create invoices via the app, these are overshadowed by widespread dissatisfaction. The trend shows no improvement over time, with ratings remaining below 2 stars across multiple months, including a low of 1.08 stars in June 2025. The pattern suggests that communication issues have persisted and intensified, particularly around user onboarding, feature rollouts, and contract renewals.

What customers praise

Customers praise sevDesk’s ability to create invoices and offers directly through the mobile app, which some find essential for on-the-go work. One user highlighted this as a key reason they continue using the platform despite other issues. However, this positive feedback is isolated and does not reflect broader satisfaction with the service.

Common complaints

The most common complaints involve a lack of clear communication about changes, renewals, and feature rollouts. Users report being automatically enrolled in paid plans without consent, receiving no warnings before price increases, and being locked into contracts they didn’t initiate. Many also express frustration over being kept in the dark about when promised features, like the return of older app functions, will be restored.

    „A few features from the old app were supposed to return at the beginning of September... nothing so far, and no new date has been announced.“

    „When will the new version be made available to loyal, OLD, paying customers?“

    Original„Wann wird die neue Version für die treuen, ALTEN, zahlenden Kunden zugänglich gemacht?“

How it has changed over time

Communication issues have worsened over time, particularly after the app’s major redesign. In June 2025, users reported that promised features were still missing months after being announced. Despite repeated calls for updates, the company provided no clear timeline or status. The lack of a public roadmap or update log has left users feeling abandoned, with no way to track progress or anticipate changes.

What customers said:

  • „It would be great if we could also find out when the switch will happen.“ - Apple App Store · 3★ · · translated · German ·
    „It would be great if we could also find out when the switch will happen.“

    Original„Wäre super, wenn wir auch erfahren würden, wann die Umstellung erfolgt.“

Practical takeaways

Users recommend avoiding automatic renewals and carefully reviewing subscription terms before signing up. They also advise checking the app’s status regularly, as critical functions like dashboard access and transaction loading often fail without warning. For those already using sevDesk, setting up email filters to manage post-trial communications may help reduce frustration.
