promising but not really there - Version: 4.1, 8/16/2009 11:21PM PST

I tried this out for a few hours because I'm looking to switch and there was a very good deal on this app. Parts I love, the app tracking was very nice. Except that once you move one of the tracked items on to a job item you loose the original and the start stop time doesn't travel with it! It has some nice invoicing BUT if you want to do anything beyond the very basic you have to code your invoice in HTML. I do sound not web programing. Support seems to think if you don't know HTML then you shouldn't be using software. You can drop times from the app monitor or separate timers on to a billable item BUT in the info it doesn't show the times or dates. There are a number of "recalculate" buttons but clicking is a no-no. It will recalculate on info ONLY in that little section and you will loose ALL time info that you have entered. I REALLY wanted to like this app but I found it SO much easier to create inaccurate ugly invoices than accurate professional looking ones. And why does one get this kind of software in the first place?????????
Nice Billing Software iBiz 3.1.12, useless if you want to use iCal - Version: 3.1.9, 4/28/2008 10:56PM PST

Hello
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.

If iBiz is crashing, read this... - Version: 3.1.9, 2/5/2008 12:00AM 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.
