MyInvoices & Estimates Deluxe

I absolutely love this latest version of My Invoice & Estimates Deluxe. This use to be sold by Elibrium and then it was bought out by Avanquest and Avanquest has done an excellent job. What saved my wifes business was that she had version 5 from 2001! This latest version handled the importing in of everything! We were extremely nervous that we were going to have to start out all over again and lose years worth of invoices and product list items. My wife really likes the handy search icons at the top of the Window that show on every page so when a client calls and asks about a type of custom drapery, she can search her product list quickly and give a client an estimate fast. Also, we were using CutePDF to export an invoice to a PDF file by printing, but in this version, we can export straight to a PDF from the software. Im sort of surprised by the wave of negative reviews because my experience was completely opposite. My wife loved it and was able to figure out the interface quickly, even when using version 5 from 13 years ago! Its her business and I just handle the computer upgrades for her. She was so happy I got a big kiss afterwards! Thanks Avanquest and I hope you keep developing this software for many more years to come.

Great item. Installed on windows 10 without any errors. Ive been using this program for several years on another computer. Does a great job for invoices for my small business. I wouldnt recommended it if you are looking for bookkeeping functions, but does work well for sending out recurring invoices via print or email in pdf format.

Its a little hard to understand for me but the more I tinker with it the more I learn. Its actually not to bad but I just need to be more tech savvy. It does what I needed it to so thats a big plus.

What a terrible piece of software. We had used a much older version that was simple to use and provided the information we needed. Had been using Peachtree (another disappointing program), then went to Quickbooks. We are a small machine shop that does not require lots of bells and whistles, but its so hard to find an invoice and inventory program that meets our needs. We dont have inventory per se, we dont stock inventory, we make parts when ordered and immediately ship to the customer. Most software does not accomodate this very well. The worst aspect of My Invoices and Estimates is the way they look at Items. They sort items using description, instead of the Item Number. This does not work for us (cant imagine that it would work well for anyone). We may produce a hundred different spacers and they have to be tracked by Item/Part Number. The only work-around for us would be to enter both the part number AND the description in the Description category, which would get very cumbersome. Or we could enter the Item Number only in the Description category, but then we wouldnt know what to call the item. Just a very bad way to design a program meant to keep up with inventory (I know that is not its main function, but its still part of what it is meant to do.). The program is very choppy in the way anything is entered, you have to go back to the top of the page to click on save and then new. There is nothing user friendly about this program. Sure would like to have the old Invoices and Estimates program back.

Not what I expected

I recently started a small business, sole proprietor, and a friend who does the same thing recommended this program. I still have not been able to generate an invoice with it now a month later. I simply cannot figure this out. In my defense, I am a very computer literate person, but not so much the Word, Excel type programs, so I feel sure that if I had more knowledge of those types of programs, I might be able to figure this out. But Im not willing to sit down and read the thick manual and slog through the process. I depend on myself being able to intuitively do this stuff, and this program is not intuitive. So I may end up not using it, sadly. And if it truly does what it purports to do, it should be a great tool. Oh, well. Such is life.

This barely counts as software. It doesnt have any of the simple features that professional software designers know to put in their software. Youre better off just using Excel spreadsheets. Im not even kidding. Ive opened a support ticket with this people regarding database conversion errors between versions every month since January. Not only do they never respond, after a time, my tickets just disappear from their website, like they were never opened in the first place. Absolutely ridiculous. Amazon, why do you even sell this s*** project? Get this scam crap off of here!
