Poor!
Can’t search for a contact. Makes the app rubbish to use when you have hundreds of customers.
Very poor and I don’t understand why you can’t search for a contact!! Frustrating!!!

Great accounting software poor support with bank feeds
While FreeAgent has an excellent software in terms of usability and ease of finding information, it lacks in integration with new bank feeds and a modern way of banking.
More so, customers in trouble shooting forums and tweets have been requesting for support with Tide, Revolution and TransferWise bank feed integrations since 2015 or earlier.
To this day, FreeAgent considers this new pool of disruptive banking products of a low priority as a means of collaboration and customer support.
It should not be this way. As a customer I feel that I have to be major bank player, to have a straight forward interaction in my accounting software and that hinders my decisions. But thankfully the banking system is being disrupted by a barrage of user centric products and services today. FreeAgent are missing out on such opportunities and might soon find themselves obsolete as they fail to act on customers demand.
As new products appear in banking disrupting the banking economy, so will accounting software evolve. Will FreeAgent be one of them?

outdated
there is no iPad app
2019-03-29
Long way to go for £20/month
Can’t even mark an invoice as paid in app or attach another document. For £20/month its needing to step its game up. Maybe a card like Coconut does?! More functionality surely isn’t hard to bring to the app.
Disappointed long term customer.
2019-03-27
Good but could be better
Missing:
- ability to duplicate invoices
- ability to edit existing invoices
2019-03-16
Shame, great promise
I'm a long standing freeagent user so I was excited to see an app. Installed but it quickly became this is an iPhone app with limited functionality. On my iPad the keyboard dish even work.
So it came of a few minutes later. Hopefully they'll for up with a proper ipad app brekkie long
2019-03-10
Good but limited
It’s a great app, but offers only a fraction of what the web app supports. I tend to use the iOS app for time recording, but fall back to the web version for everything else. Hoping that the iOS app adds a few more features at some point. iPad support would be an added bonus too.

The best software ever invented for business
What a time saver. Easy to use.
Does almost everything you need except budget.
Clean, tidy, efficient.
I can’t speak highly enough about this program. Brilliant piece of genius 😎🤘
2019-02-21
Invoice
I trust I’ve done this ok
2019-02-18
Worked once then never again
Loaded it and signed in when first downloaded, and has never worked since. Every time I open, I am presented with a white screen which never proceeds (device iPhone 8plus)
2019-02-13
Brilliant service
I’ve been using this for a couple of years. The app does everything I need it to. The most important thing for me though is the exceptional customer service. They are so responsive, efficient and friendly. I really can’t say enough good things about these people - awesome!
2019-02-10
Good overview of features
Could be better expense and receipt management but overall provides good overview of desktop version.
2019-01-09
Excellent app
Great functionality, easy to use, very stable app. I have recommended to other contractors as this app makes keeping track of limited company finances very easy.

A nice and easy accounting software to use. Would highly recommend

Great App ... Need Option For Recurring Invoices
Great app for running a business away from your desk.
Easy access to invoicing clients, as well as adding transactions and much more.
The only option needed is the ability to view recurring invoice profiles
2018-12-18
Issues to address
Been using this app for a week or so now. Generally ok but some things need addressing. Some expenses don’t fall into any of the categories and there’s no option to add more. The iPad version doesn’t have an icon installed and hasn’t been scaled up for larger screens so appears as small screen in the centre of the iPad. Also the app guesses the category for transactions on your bank statement, but doesn’t learn when you correct them or explain an unexplained transaction. Finally, when moving money from a cash account to a bank account, the app doesn’t identify the cash payment as the cash going in meaning the transaction appears twice, meaning you have to spend quite a bit of time correcting bank transactions. The app claims to save you time going digital but I actually spend twice as long than when I did it all on paper. It’s only because HMRC are requiring digital integration that I’m moving digital.

Linking to project
Terrible when it comes to linking to project, you have to scroll for ever as the search bar doesn’t work!
Can this be fixed?????

Easily the best small business package
Without a doubt this software makes life so easy for a small business.
Bank downloads automatically and it is a matter of minutes to code income and expenditure.
At any stage of the year performance is instantly analyses allowing planning decisions to be simple with all the info to hand.
This is a 5 star product.
2018-11-23
Excellent features but not as good as web version
Superb for sorting expenses on the fly. Less good for more complex tasks such as creating an invoice.
2018-11-17
Invaluable
Can’t praise the app enough as a small business.
2018-11-11
FreeAgent view
Hello, I find the Freeagant app easy and informative to use. Easy controls makes uploading invoices etc very easy.
An only comment is a wider range of options when doing expenses/invoice/ banking, seems a few short on companies house area.
Best wishes

Love Freeagent
I’ve been using freeagent for many years now and it’s one of the only tools that I know I could never be without now. The app is perfect for recording my expenses on the go and checking my figures whenever I need to.
2018-11-10
Awesome
Great app, what is there functions very well. Only thing is could do with some additional features eg. Pull latest bank transactions etc. Keep up the good work!
2018-10-27
Pretty good
But, when entering currency amounts it should use the numpad keyboard, not the normal alphanumerical keyboard.
2018-10-25
Not as useful as it could be
Always logs out/ forgets credentials
Doesn’t create or modify invoices
2018-10-10
Great app with good interface
Do like this app especially the Insights tab. Only one thing missing for me and that’s the ability to create a project in the app rather than having to go to the desktop version.
2018-10-06
Amazing easy to use
I’ve work in Technology for over 30 years and when I find a product so easy to use, that is functionally rich, then I’m happy to tell all that need an account package to chose this service.
FreeAgent is functionally rich, easy to use and even more importantly if you need to ask a questions they have a fantastic group of customer service guys to help.
Thank you for making run my business easier to do nowadays as a result of FreeAgent.
Kind regards, Dominic

Can’t find contacts quickly by typing a letter
Otherwise great :-)

My best find for an app in 2018!
Having been a Sage Accounts user for a couple of years, I found the ease and simplicity of FreeAgent’s platform mind-blowing. What took me a few minutes to do now took only seconds. And the app is absolutely fantastic, as all the key repeatable functions and features are easily executed via the app. I only wish a few more insight-based functions from their platform were made available on the app. Still love it, regardless.
2018-09-28
Couldn’t live without it
Perfect that you can do your accounting and bookkeeping on the go! Perfect customer service too. Any questions you may have get dealt with as soon as possible...
2018-09-26
Great product!
I find FreeAgent extremely useful and easy to use with extensive reporting capabilities. Tax timeline reminders provide submission prompts to HMRC, great for those with busy work schedules
2018-09-26
Good but could be better
Good but would benefit from an upgrade, Stripe and GoCardless as options on invoices would be awesome.
2018-09-25
Great App for a Great Tool
Fantastic app that really helps me to keep on top of my business, really recommend it to any small business or freelancer
2018-09-25
Brilliant app!
This app makes it so easy to run a small business! Time slips, invoicing, mileage, expenses, dividends, keeping track of corporation tax and VAT - all slick and quick. So much easier than using spreadsheets, like unused to do.
2018-09-24
The best app for small business
Love this app. It take care of every aspect of my finances, payroll and taxes. Worth every penny and brilliant for when you’re in the move.
2018-09-24
I only I had switched to his years ago.
I use it for all my expenses, my time sheets, my invoices. It takes all of the admin out of contracting and I love it.
2018-09-24
This is the best - Ignore the rest !!!
Ian and the team are amazing in what they do and my company wouldn’t be where it is now if it wasn’t for them.
Ian is always at the end of the phone if I ever need him and has been a rock to my company and hope this continues forever.
Thank you for all your help it’s Vee much appreciated.
Kindest regards

Couldn’t live without it now
FreeAgent has been core to our business for 6 years now and whilst some choose to have an accountant as well we don’t as the software does everything we need. We had a random VAT audit from HMRC and is was dealt with quite easily, certainly a damn sight easier than if we’d been using spreadsheets. Running a company everyone says is complicated but one you can use FreeAgent, and it doesn’t take long, it isn’t.

Unresponsive after phone enters sleep/lock
Does everything needed for basic tasks really well but constantly freezes. Freezing seems to occur if you have the app open (and in the foreground) when phone goes into sleep mode (iPhone 7 plus). When you next unlock the phone the app is none responsive, easily resolved for now by closing the app and then reopening it.
2018-08-24
Good when works but freezes all the time
Frustrating to use because it freezes at least every other use. Hampers running a business. Not fit for purpose as a result.
2018-06-30
Projects
It would be nice to be able to create a new project with the app, once you have added a new contact or add one to a current contact.
2018-06-15
Freezes a lot
I do most of my freeagent admin on laptop, but adding expenses on mobile is where I think this app could be a bunch more useful. Current process is pretty clunky, and it freezes the whole time (iPhone 6, running iOS 11.4), which is really frustrating.
2018-05-20
Good but lots of room for improvement
Overall the app is good and you can ”get the job done” just fine.
However there’s a number of improvements that could be made to make it less frustrating and turn it into a better experience.
These include...:
- Proper offline support. I’ve had expenses and bank reconciliations annoyingly fail after filling in all the details then saving whilst on a train with spotty mobile reception. Actions like this should be transparently queued by the app and processed once the network comes back.
- Displaying a numerical-only keyboard when entering pricing related info in screens such as the add expense screen.
- Search functionality for bank transfers and expenses.
2018-05-14
Got bugs!
If I need to scroll back to add photos to transactions, it works for about 5 then resets back to the beginning. Really frustrating. Need to add ability to select a month on bank account
2018-04-16
Freezes
I really enjoy the simplicity of the phone app but it’s very frustrating that it keeps freezing.
The only way I have found of unfreezing the app it to restart my iPhone!!
2018-04-13
Disappointing
Has limited functionality and bank feed takes over 4 days to come through so you have to do everything 3 times instead of once. Really disappointed and considering other software packages with better apps.
2018-03-07
Could be a little more mobile centric
I use the desktop version to do the bulk of my accounting. The mobile version I use for snapping receipts and issuing invoices or invoice reminders. Adding receipts could be a lot quicker. Ideally it would be a one-click ‘photograph receipt’ which would be saved to drafts for later. Currently I have to add the expense, amount, description, and manually add a photo. I can’t save it until I’ve done all of these, which is a pain. It takes a lot longer than other applications I’ve used.
2018-01-19
Great! ...as far as it goes...
This does a great job of being able to do the basics of your FreeAgent.
HOWEVER, the ONE feature that is missing as far as basics go is the ability to add/edit projects within the app!
I have multiple jobs per week, each one being a separate project, and in order to create an invoice against a project I have to go to the main website and create a project before I can assign the invoice to a project and send it. It’s the only step missing from my process and something I would really appreciate!
2018-01-06
No iPad support?
Really?
