Question

What is going on?

We have QuickBooks online and I mainly use the app to try and avoid having to close ads every other click...  but lately, I am so frustrated with the problems and inconsistencies with both the browser version (and don't tell me to clear my cache - I do that every time I close the window...) and the app version.   

  • Random links that don't work.
  • Customer transaction lists that decide to not show the actions I need (sometimes the only choice is convert to invoice - I have to search for the estimate in the top right in order to actually go in to it...) 
  • Customer List along the left is just gone on both version. 
  • Changes to display columns don't stick even when I say to make them default.
  • Not being able to include the columns I actually want in the lists
  • Reports that don't have the fields I actually need present in the possibilities. (Custom fields not being there I might understand, but the Estimate Status field NOT being available in a report pulling customer transactions?)
  • Spreadsheet sync pulls that don't have the information in the same columns once it pulls, rendering the entire pull absolutely useless unless I spend hours cleaning up the data in order to use a pivot table  to get what I need..
  • Performance issues....
  • Changes to the screen that aren't announced or explained
  • And don't get me started on trying to get any help from any customer service.  The videos and white pages they tell you to go to first aren't even up to date with the changes that are causing the issues.  And forget following the canned response from the "concerned" folks that auto response on here.  I am not interested in falling into that black hole again.

 

Is there a software package somewhere that has had the sense to create a bridge for folks to jump over from this mess without having to start over?
