Pros and cons of Billings Pro - Time & Invoice app for iPhone and iPad

Billings Pro - Time & Invoice app good for

Perfect billing tool. Im a French user. No expensive for the provided services.
Billings Pro is perfect for my business. As a Graphic Designer, Billings Pro allows me to keep all my clients and invoices organized in one app. I love that Im able to take this on the road with me as well and invoice clients or send them a quote directly from a consultation.
Ignore the idiots giving this fantastic product one star because they think it should be free. If you depend on invoicing to run your business, billings has been the best of the best since day one.

Some bad moments

Billings Pro (OSX) is a great application. The iOS version is buggy as h*ll. Hardly ever syncs, if it does it messes up the Desktop DB, and is all in all anything but intuitive or even user friendly.
I would have given a one star but it did work at the start. it constantly crashes and needs improvement. A great app if it worked.
Has potential to be great app. Often wont connect, limited functionality from iPhone & server application buggy. Support has consistently been poor. Focus is on adding functionality & advertising, not fine tuning current issues. Latest version still has sync issues, once you enter your data and the sync fails, your only option is to wipe all data (lose all your un-synced entries) and try re-connect to server. I keep waiting for old issues that need to be fixed, to be fixed. Hasnt happened in more than a year.
Hmm...consistently fails to sync and has lost entries on numerous occasions. Used the non-syncing version happily for years. Cant recommend this version though.
I can’t believe they switched to a monthly subscription. I paid $40 for the previous version of the program, and everything was just fine. I do a little freelance here and there. Sometimes I’ll do one project a month.. Sometimes several.. And then there are times where I won’t need to bill anything for months at a time. With the previous version of billings, the $40 cost for the program was perfect for me. Their new subscription plan is absolutely ridiculous, and makes continued use of their service difficult for freelancers like myself.
AVOID - DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY Connects to self hosted server but doesnt upload anything from iOS devices - despite completing a sync, nothing is uploaded and subsequently cant be worked on, on the Mac. Used to be reliable. Now the product has gone to hell. Connection works fine from the Mac, and iPhone, but wont connect to self-hosted server from iPad - in fact, wont connect at all, just sits at connecting and never does anything. What gives? iOS 7, iPad 4
