Question

QuickBooks Android app is not communicate with server. Does not load or save invoices. Cannot convert estimates to invoices.

This is apparently a known issue and I've been experiencing it for 4 months. There's no work around there's no known solution. 

Sometimes if I convert an estimate to an invoice on Android app it says unable to save invoice.

If I convert an estimate to an invoice on the computer online it loads in the app under invoices but when I click on the invoice it won't open and says server unavailable.

This has resulted in either me having to copy and paste each section of the estimate into a brand new invoice or having to wait until I get back to the office to do things that I need to be doing when I'm on the road.

I asked why I should pay for the service that doesn't work and I was told the only option is to do things from a desktop computer. Then I asked if I could have a backup of all my company's records and leave QuickBook and I was told I have to pay $200 a month to upgrade to a different version to get the backup just to cancel. It's almost extortion for leaving. Leaving a product that doesn't work half the time.
