Xero Accounting App Reviews

Cant even launch the app now. As soon as I launch it I get an error message and the screen just stays on the splash screen. Cant do anything now. How could you release something like this?

The only real functionality is to provide a quick snap shot of account balances. I use it to reconcile transactions but it doesnt know any of the rules - this needs to be fixed. 75% of the time I access the app it crashes before login on the fingerprint page. I would like to see more functionality (reporting), but lets tune up the basics first.

Attempting to log in to Xero via TouchID is completely broken, and brings the iDevice to a halt. The home button freezes up and becomes unresponsive until the device is turned off and on again.

Froze my screen the second time I opened the app; totally unresponsive. Amazing it got through the App Store application process. Looking forward to a fixes update; really could use a great Xero app.

This update no longer allows me to log in using my iphone 5 The developers need to fix this

Started using Xero about two months ago and absolutely come to love it. But this app is an absolute disaster and Xero should be embarrassed to put this out. First of all the app is barely useful. Only thing one can do is reconcile your bank transactions. Other than that the Touch ID hardly ever works and most of the time freezes my iPhone and makes it unresponsive. After that I have to press the power switch and turn it back on and then the app responds but asks for username password as opposed to Touch ID. This is so disastrous that it is making my Xero experience terrible on mobile and hence I decided to write this review. It is not worth the one star. Dear Xero folks - take a look at the QBO app and weep. It is far superior in comparison. I really hope you are working on a better and richer app. We small business owners would love to do more than just reconcile on the mobile app. Please make it a better app! This current app is absolutely pathetic.

Not useful at all, does not show any of the integrated APPs from our account. No cash flow forecast, No outstanding bills or incoming capital. Really disappointing.

Sometimes when I open the app it freezes, I have to turn off screen with side button, then dbl click and close out the app then open it again. Luckily, every time I have to do this it only happens once and not repeatedly. Other than that, its so much easier to reconcile from app than computer. Seems to remember my rules fine(saw that someone had a problem with that) although some rules dont work on either interface, guess I gotta work on those. Its kinda tricky setting them up, kinda feel like I have to be programmer or something. Making bank rules easier would be my current suggestion with the overall service but we are talking apps here so..... Keep up the good work!

I really like the simplicity of this app. It is designed with the owner/manager in mind that is mobile but needs access to the most important information about their business. A dashboard that shows all you bank accounts and credit cards upon logging in that allows you to select an account and reconcile transactions or view activity. It also allows you to view overdue invoices which is great for a sales rep walking into a client’s office to know if they are behind. When it comes to mobile apps, they got it right. Xero gives you the ability to do what you need to from a phone without the complexity of performing all your accounting functions. The full website is for that.

The main thing that I use the mobile app for is expense reporting. While its quite easy to enter a purchase for reimbursement, attach a photo and more, the app doesnt do a very basic thing: compile these receipts into an expense report. Having been an Expensify user for years, I loved the ability to compile receipts, give the report a custom name and submit to accounting for reimbursement. Why cant I do this with Xero?

Its hard to overstate how anemic this App is. I love Xero, but this App has almond at no useful features. I cant even snap a picture of a receipt for food purchase and categorize in the App. It only works for expense report type items, like travel, meals, taxis, etc.

While this app is pretty good at what it has available to it right now, I feel that its missing a lot of functionality in order to truly operate my business remotely. And that is my goal with this app. I need to be able to run reports such as a balance sheet and profit and loss statement. I also need to be able to refresh my bank feed (such as by pulling down on the dashboard). I also should be able to print checks to a wireless printer from my iPad or iPhone. It would also be useful to be able to add pictures of receipts to transactions that have already been reconciled. Please keep developing the app, and I will increases my rating. Update to review - 4/2/15: For new users interested in Xero, please know there website is much more robust and developed compared to this app (and you can access the website from iOS devices). I would recommend Xero to most small business even with the limitations of the app, maybe with the exception of business who need high levels of job costing. Try it out.

Works flawlessly but outside of expense tracking there is no high-level functionality or even reporting. Shame given how good Xero is as an accounting platform.

The mobile app just keeps getting better and I have no doubt Xero will step their game up in the future.

I still cant even add a customer on the go and no estimates or any other featurs. Who wants to do bank reco work on a mobile phone. come xero, I want to like you but you competitors like quickbooks and invoce 2 go are so far ahread I doubt you can catch up. As acn accountant I cant possibly use or recommend this to any clients. Disappointing but getting use to disappointment from you. All marketing and no features.

Love the app with ease of use to code bank trx as well as add receipts for either debit card or expense reimbursements. Use full web version for more detailed work.

This app has been really well designed to take advantage of the iPad and love the fact I can reconcile accounts and even send client invoices from anywhere. Really simple to use.

Simple, easy and powerful. Have used Xero in a number of businesses for a number of years. Love it.

Simple, quick and easy to use on the go. This is a must for any modern business! Thanks Xero!

I use this app all day long - Xero saves me so much time its nuts. The freedom to visit customers and suppliers whilst staying on top of whats happening back at base gives me such peace of mind - and Im a tap away from my accountant when needed too. Heartily recommend.
