Can we get it for blackberry's and androids?
C'mon dudes... no way to add anything on the fly? That's coding 101. If we wanted to be stuck with what was already in the system -- would be be using a handheld? Nope. We use handhelds b/c we're always in a hurry... always running around somewhere.. and probably don't have anything set up right to start with.
MAKE IT EASY... DON'T MAKE IT A PITA !!
Just got this App. It does not allow you to create invoices from time sheets (a much needed function for those of us in the service industry). Other than that it is a good app overall, but the price is a bit steep for an app that is missing some fundamental features.
I am anxiously awaiting the updates!
I've recently purchased this app which works extremely well.
I couldn't give 5 stars based on:
- the application doesn't support the scenario when one has two or more accounts with Freshbooks. For example - I run two separate companies but am unable to manage both with the app.
2 - staff is able to view and send invoices using the online version, but not with the iphone app - one instead gets the message "You do not have access to invoices".
this app rocks im using the lite version and the free version of Fresh Books Suits my needs perfectly and the timer
Awesome!! I have been waiting for this App - its the perfect compliment to Freshbooks. Now I can invoice anyone, anywhere. Thanks!!
I finished at my clients office at 3:30. My client needed an invoice before close of business. I wasn't sure I would make it back to my home office in time. I downloaded MiniBooks, logged into my FB account, setup my clients contact info, created an invoice & emailed it - all from the parking lot, all in under 10 minutes. From now on - Invoices go out minutes after the work is done. Awesome.
It would be better if it pulled the last INV number & auto-incremented when creating a new INV.
This is one of the first apps I installed on my iphone, but I am sadly disappointed. The only thing I really really want in the on-the-go iPhone app is he ability to enter expenses. When will this feature be included? Thanks!
I have to say that I am quite disappointed that this app is missing the ability to add Projects & Tasks on the fly. Also I agree with Kit Allen on the on-the-go expenses system.
I will buy the full version once these things are present in this application. Until then keep working on it guys, you are almost there!
Lovin' MiniBooks - it was one of the first apps installed on my new iPhone and has made tracking time on my current Projects so easy.
I would have rated 5 stars if it only allowed me to list and create new Projects, and also see how much time has been accumulated on existing Projects. Surely this feature is possible too?
I eagerly await the next update. Keep up the great work!
Love it. Definitely worth the price. But totally agree with Eric: I've wanted an on-the-go expenses system since I started using Freshbooks, and it's so frustrating that this has everything but!
Please can we have expenses? Pretty please? It's the only thing it would need to get five stars...
Love it.
Would get 5 stars if it also let me enter expense items on the go.

I've been looking for a decent iPhone app for FreshBooks and found this one. It's exactly what I was looking for. Now I can invoice everybody I see without having to get in front of my computer!! I just made one up right now for writing this review!
Seriously though, it's got a great interface, it's slick at enabling you to efficiently manage clients and invoices. Great job.
Been using Freshbooks since the beginning of 2009 and like it so far. I was just lamenting the lack of a better app to manage Freshbooks (the old time tracker deal was not good for me) and what do you know, there is Minibooks. I thought about it for about 43 seconds and then bought it. It is great using it all over the place and helps me invoice on the fly. Wish there was a accounts total like the home screen. Awesome job, it just keeps getting better.
I saw this application on the App Store and suddenly decided to switch to Freshbooks. I had been using another web application to do invoicing which did not have as many features. However, being able to add clients, create invoices on the go (or rather just view them), and time tracking plus expenses is literally worth every penny.
They now have a lite application which works with the FREE Freshbooks account, but the paid version is highly worth it.
