…and phone. No difference. Tried with WiFi and without. No difference. Mobile app is unusable which is making day to day business harder. Subscription goes up each year and app keeps getting worse. Not good enough QB.
Strong complaint…n, I was warned. It has delivered admirably against it’s reputation. This is what lack of competition gets you.
Missing feature…tall reboot what any tech guy would ask you to do. But still nothing. Developers really need to fix ASAP.

Questions about this idea
- Is Slow and Unresponsive QuickBooks App a startup idea?
- Not directly. These are complaints about a product or service people already use, and the fix belongs first to that provider. The page shows what is frustrating users and how badly — not an open market to start a company in.
- How many people have this problem?
- 29 different people described it independently, in 29 mentions, the earliest from 28 Apr 2025 and the most recent from 30 Oct 2026. The quotes, with dates and links to the originals, are in the Evidence section.
- Is this problem getting worse?
- Status: steady — no change the counts can show. 1 people raised it in the last 30 days and 1 in the 30 days before; the status compares its share of everything collected from the same source, so collecting more or less cannot create a trend.
