Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026

just using the free version of the app without paying has helped me keep track of jobs I have to do and when they are done and paid. The paid version allows you to scan receipts to keep track of expenses. I really like the chart on the main page that shows what you have made so far this year.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

Was really loving this app to begin with. The features and tracking tools are very convenient. However, if you think you might actually need anything from their customer support, you may be better off just managing your bookkeeping with some other service. I can't even process payroll through the app (a service I pay for), and they won't even respond to my service requests.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

excellent for a solo business.

★★★★★Oct 15, 2026

Dont use this App

★★★★★Oct 12, 2026

This is a nice app for the phone but does not work on tablets. 5 stars for the app on my phone minus 3 stars for not working on my tablet. Decided to search for something more compatible.

★★★★★Oct 11, 2026

cant access my business no more since they updated the plans..
