Are there plans to get a Windows Mobile phone application out? Using this through the web browser is extremely slow, and would be nice to have an app to apply new invoices to. Makeing things simplier for all.

Looks like you need to use Intuits quickbooks online service to create invoices from your iphone.

I think Billing Manager’s days are numbered.

Come on Intuit! You guys have always been great for my Business! Why do you refuse to let me make invoice’s with the Iphone? It’s such a small thing to add and would put this product at the head of the crowd. Everyone posting in these comments has had the same problem, and either you’re ignoring them which just makes us angry or your incapable, Which is sad. I know that technically this is a “Free” service, but I pay for your software, I pay for Merchant Service. I think it’s only fair that we the people get what we want. Or at the very least explain yourselves, don’t just ignore us.

This sucks. Why can’t i get to the full site on my iphone. No matter what i type in it takes me to the mobile site. If i can’t create an invoice from my iphone, then the app is useless. Just shut down the mobile site and then we can get down to business.

Nice application. The ability to create invoices from the iphone is very important for me. I would love to see that feature added. Are there any plans to do this? If so, when is this expected to be implemented?

Thanks!

I would love to be able to create an invoice while at my customer’s home. How close are you to developing this?

Do I read this thread correctly in that Intuit has not updated anything about the iPhone interface in 18 months? Two generations of the iPhone and a couple major OS updates have been released, when will Invoice Creation be available?

I reviewing the Billing Manager software now. I’m trying to determine what advantages it has over my PayPal billing system. So far there are several advantages to the PayPal system over this one:

• Free
• No monthly fee to process credit cards directly, and competitive if not cheaper transaction costs, and no nightly processing fee
• Debit card attached to my PayPal account
• I can invoice from my iPhone using the browser interface
• There is a native iPhone application for me to review my balance, check the activity history, and to send money. But it doesn’t yet let me invoice directly from the iPhone app…yet.

Billing Manager has these advantages:

• Better looking interface for managing billing activity.
• Direct integration with QuickBooks (if I used it, that is)
• They will deposit directly to my account instead of to their own account (as PayPal does). However, I’m not quite sure of how long it takes from credit card entry to deposit. For PayPal, it is nearly instantaneous.
• …I thinking…

So…at this point, PayPal is still winning, but then I’ve just begun my Billing Manager evalation. So I hope to come across more advantages for it over PayPal.

I agree with everyone. I will immediately switch to this app when and if it allows invoice creation on the iphone.

An obvious need.

And, with it looking like Apple will be opening up the iphone to other U.S. carriers in the future, it’s even more obvious.

But, I have to believe that the free part of this service will become history. We are all now the beta testers/market study for Intuit.

If there is a fee in the future, I would consider the service if structured for my small business.

I understand the allure of building a web app (close to write once deploy nearly everywhere). However, I would really prefer to see this application, for the iPhone at least, as just that, a local application that talks to the BillingManager.com server.

While there are many reasons for this, I’ll give you one quick one: Say that I’m in a client site where cell phone signals cannot get through ((big building that seem to eat cell signals) or on an airplane with airplane mode on). The client doesn’t want to give me access to their WiFi–how can I go ahead and make use of the time? Well, I certainly cannot work with my invoices because it is a browser-only system. A local app, that stores current invoicing information, would allow me to do that. Then, as soon as I get a signal, it can run updates via push-notification. Also, a local app would be able to easily integrate with my local contact database and not require me to upload yet another contact list to yet another isolated web service.

So, in addition to being able to create invoices on my iPhone, a native iPhone application would be huge for me.

I do web server and web site design. The ability to invoice from my iphone is a crucial step I’m waiting for. That and a way to do timer invoice much like Freshbooks does. I would rather see it come from Intuit so I can integrate everything from my Iphone billing to my desktop Quickbooks.

I go on site and need to start a timer for that job or even when I do a phone call to immediately be able to hang up and then enter a invoice for a tech call support and send it to the customer or at least to log it so I can invoice them at the end of the month.

So my list is this:
- Credit card processing on the phone with your software/online billing.
- Timer or timers to track my time for invoicing my time to clients.
- Make invoices via iphone would be extremely nice for those really simple onsite jobs.

i speak for alot of people when i say i love billing manager but i will have to say the app sucks or not a app what ever it is. we need to be able to make estimates and do invoices though this if not who cares if we can just see them. our customers want a invoice on the fly.

Start using MobileInvoice now on a Windows smartphone because it could be quite a while until anything like this is available for iPhone.
