Invoice Crowd

I got this deal because of it's high number of positive reviews, and I quickly learned why this is the case.

One of the FIRST things you see inside the app is an offer to get 500 more customer profiles (essentially doubling the allowance) - for leaving a review. This means that 99% of the reviews in this product page are fake/hasn't used the software for more than 5 minutes.

While the software looks OK, there are two massive deal-breakers that makes me want to instantly refund it:

1. Whitelabelling is locked behind an additional monthly payment (which hasn't been released yet) so you're stuck with obnoxiously huge logos and branding from Invoice Crowd ON EVERY INVOICE and when the upgrade does release, you'll pay monthly - great lifetime deal! /sarcasm
2. There's no expense management, and although they say they will have it in the future I wouldn't hold my breath.
3. Templates are awful, there's only 6 of them, and they support very little editing of any kind. Yes, you can tweak the colours and fonts, but good luck editing fields or any structural part of the invoice.

I can't imagine what small business owner would send out invoices that look this bad, and have InvoiceCrowd branding on it (in huge letters!) - it would be embarrasing! I could understand if it you had branding on the free version, that's fair enough, but for paid customers to have this level of branding is insane.

I'm starting to think it's worth paying the big bucks for established players in this space like Quickbooks, Xero, etc. as all these copy companies are just half-baked.
