User reviews

Users find QuickBooks helpful for online bookkeeping and appreciate its multi-device access, but many report significant issues with Chromebook compatibility, especially on Acer devices. The Chrome extension merely serves as a shortcut to the browser-based QuickBooks Online, lacking native app features. Users express frustration over poor customer support, intrusive pop-ups, and problematic printing options. Many prefer QuickBooks Desktop due to its reliability and intuitive design, citing bugs and data loss in the online version. Additional costs and difficulties logging in further diminish user satisfaction.

Pros

It provides access to QuickBooks on multiple devices, including mobile and Chromebook (with some workarounds).
Some users appreciate the QuickBooks Online platform as a future direction, especially if they invest time to learn it.

The extension acts as a shortcut to access QuickBooks Online quickly.

Cons

The extension often doesn't work properly on Chromebooks, especially Acer models, causing login difficulties and compatibility issues.
QuickBooks Online is considered less intuitive and buggy compared to QuickBooks Desktop, with issues like lost or mixed-up client data.
The extension mainly redirects users to the browser-based QuickBooks Online instead of offering native app functionality, disappointing some users.
Customer support is inadequate; users report difficulty reaching assistance and unhelpful documentation.
Print functionality is problematic, such as printing receipts on regular paper instead of receipt printers, and scanning is unsupported.
Users feel forced to pay extra fees for online access despite already paying for desktop or mobile versions.
Persistent and intrusive pop-up windows cause frustration during use.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

QuickBooks requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

High Allows reading and modifying clipboard content, which can be sensitive, posing a moderate privacy risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

QuickBooks has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
