en Wave has held nearly $10,000 from my account and to try and get any support from the chat is terrible. No consumer support, knowledgable support specialists are obsolete, Risk Team doesnt care. Theyve exhibited that. I even reached out to the CEO of the company regarding my serious matter- well see if I get a response. Will not be using this application ever again.

en The application worked pretty well for simple bookkeeping until the last update in July 2019. The update recategorized my accounts creating an additional 3 hours of work to create new accounts in the right category, then move all of the transactions from the incorrectly categorized accounts to the new accounts, then archive the incorrectly categorized accounts so that they can no longer be used. Then, the journal transactions had to be move individually rather than through the bulk edit process. I really feel for the users who were using this application because they don't know accounting or bookkeeping. I have an accounting degree and am still trying to figure out how to find and verify my transactions for integrity.

en This program is super buggy, and reporting is quite limited. You have to use their fields. A basic register of transactions and "who they are to" seems out of reach. Changing dates on reports freezes the app. Going back to QB.

en Really like this app for accounting. However, more development in compatibility for Australia would be much appreciated, and I'm sure, very popular here when compared to the price of other accounting apps and programs in Australia. Needs the ability to customize margins and paper sizes (particularly A4) and option of automatically including tax in an item price. Other than this, it is very good.
