Frustrated…aving to do it all manually. And Forget sending an invoice on the go. And I pay almost £50/month for this absolute rubbish! Not for much longer.

Added a new experts button, to talk to a chat bot, no thanks. Will be exporting info and cancelling as this app has really went down hill.

Questions about this idea
- Is Slow Performance of QuickBooks for Business 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?
- 51 different people described it independently, in 51 mentions, the earliest from 09 Dec 2024 and the most recent from 13 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. 2 people raised it in the last 30 days and 10 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.
