Question

2 weeks later and still not able to create new inventory items when creating a new bill and QuickBooks apparently cannot fix

I contacted support 2 weeks ago as when I am entering a bill and I click on add new inventory item it does not populate my existing categories as it did before as it now only gives an option to create a new catagory. I received 2 emails the same day I called where they claimed to be working on it so after 3 days I called and they said they are still working on it and that other users are having the same issue. After 2 weeks I have no confidence that they will fix it which is so disappointing as I am paying $80 a month / $960 a year for the subscription vs. the desktop version where I paid about $300 a year on average buying 3x versions since 2005. So I am paying 3x times more for a product that is worse than the desktop version but also does not work as well. I was also sent an emails so I could take a survey but when I clicked on the link it opened a window saying the survey expired, was hoping to take the survey as maybe would get this fixed as I am not going to call again as that was a waste of time.

Am training on Fresh Books now to see how that looks and if anyone has any advice on another product that works and is not so expansive, I am all ears!

I have already called support two times over the last two weeks and am not going to waste more time as they are just going to tell me they are working on it so how many weeks is it going to take to fix this? Also, will you bring back the desktop version back as it worked much batter than online at a fraction of the cost?
