Overall great, huge time saver, couple complaints. One major complaint is not sure how but I've accidentally switched several estimates over to invoices without even realizing it. The first couple times of doing this I retyped the entire estimate without realizing it was in the invoice folder. Please make doing this more difficult or make it reversible.

I like the app when it works. With that being said, I am starting to see some improvements to performance, but I still experience issues that I hope will be addressed: When uploading photos to an estimate, it's very common to see that all or some of them fail to upload, and you have to tap RETRY on the photo itself. It happens very often, where I do this, and it deletes the photo instead of trying to upload again. Please make an option to retry automatically, and a user prompt for deleting!

The app keeps saying it can't connect to the servers lately, beyond frustrating. I'm in and out all day and it glitches between estimates and invoices. Can't look up customers by phone number. Also, you can't add negative line items, You have to deduct them under discounts. While this app is useful and has got us very far, we pay for the yearly subscription which is over $100, and it cant do more than basic math. I am griping at these annoyances that are very easy to fix. Please do so!
