    Intuit QuickBooks for Business — Slow as Molasses One of the slowest apps I’ve ever had the misfortune of using. Not sure what their backend devs are doing. Takes 5-10x as long for a page to load here compared to the website on desktop, and half the time it freezes completely and you can’t click on anything.
