Nice Billing Software iBiz 3.1.12, useless if you want to use iCal - Version: 3.1.9, 4/28/2008 10:56PM PST

Version 3 of iBiz is a bit different from version 2, but I thoroughly enjoy the changes, especially the new Billing status tab. I did run into one glitch though, as did some others who have complained of frequent crashing. The new auto-sync function in iBiz 3.1.9 (syncs calendar event data with iCal) should not be used concurrently with automatic synchronization in iSync. If iSync happens to be synchronizing when iBiz auto-sync kicks in, iBiz will promptly and unexpectedly quit. The simple solution is to not use the auto-sync setting in iBiz. You can still sync by selecting "Fast Sync" in iBiz... just be sure iSync isn't running at the same time. If you set iSync to show its Menu Bar Item, it is easy to tell when iSync is busy and thus avoid the conflict with iBiz.

I own v2 and v3, yet I use v2.
Unfortunately with the upgrade to v3 the developers felt it necessary to take up a great deal of screen real estate with stupid icons.
In addition, they removed some other valuable icons which indicated project states. I have repeatedly pointed this out at the developers site and merely been ignored at all times.
Version 3 is a step backwards.
If you own v2 DO NOT UPGRADE.
Sadly, if you don't own v2 and are seeking a small, robust billing and tracking application, iBiz 3 will not be it.
You'll waste far too much time trying to find out what state a project is in and navigating around the massive, unnecessary icons which fall dead center of the window. This USED to be great. They ruined it all for an invoicing system that is no better than a million others out there. What is needed is a great time tracking and data storage system for projects.
iBiz changed its focus to be an "invoicing system" rather than a valuable tracking tool and in the processes, did users a disservice.

This small App is very nice for people who want to do some billing. The idea is great. The way they solve is absolute not perfect. The form interface to create invoice is a horror.
The largest problem ist that it doesn't work reliable in conjunction with iCal. Partly it works, partly not. So if you want to share your Projects and view them in iCal give other software I try. I tried to get it work for 10 months. With every new version of iBiz or OS X some bugs are solved are more bugs are created.
