"App is great and other than when doing my numbers etc rarely log in to FreeAgent doing most of it on the train." - Martin Chard, Cerdren

"a lovely little application that give iOS users the ability to do a bunch of their accounting work while on the road" - Ben Kepes, diversity.net.nz

Now you can access your FreeAgent account on your iPhone or iPod Touch using mobileAgent - the mobile client for FreeAgent, one of the UK’s best online accounting solutions.

==================================================
NOTE: you must already be a FreeAgent user to use this application. mobileAgent also works with Iris Openbooks, MyBusinessWorks and other FreeAgent / IRIS Openbooks resellers.

If you are a My Accountant Friend customer, look for My Accountant Friend 2 - its mobileAgent customised for your accountant!

With mobileAgent you can:

• NEW: Create invoices on your phone, and send them to the client on the spot. View them as a PDF and send that PDF to any compatible app on your phone.

• Enter timeslips: Either by adding a new task to a project, or logging time against an existing task. Add comments to your timeslips so you can recall what you did on the day.

• Log mileage: It handles all allowed forms of transport (car, motorcycle, bicycle), so you can reclaim and rebill your mileage. (Units for Mileage are based on your FreeAgent settings. mobileAgent just records a number)

• Expense tracking. Just paid for lunch? Record the expense in FreeAgent from your table. No need to remember to do it when you get back to the office. You can even take a photo of your receipt and submit that with the expense.

• Bill entry: Received a bill and want to keep track of when its due? You can now add the bill into FreeAgent as easily as you can with an Expense. Works with recurring bills, too!

• All attached images can be uploaded to Dropbox or saved to the phones photo library.

• View outstanding, overdue or draft invoices, email invoices, and mark draft invoices sent / sent invoices as draft.

• See what your bank balances are (at last update) and the last 30 days of transactions, as well as having easy access to your sort code / account number, IBAN and BIC codes. Also works with credit cards and paypal accounts.

• Enter items while youre offline: Enter things when you remember – even while underground or on a plane. Sync back to FreeAgent next time youre connected.

• I am not able to reply to comments here - please go to the support page if you have a suggestion or problem.


mobileAgent works with iPhone with iOS 10 or newer. Can be used on the iPad, but is not designed for it.

mobileAgent can be used with all FreeAgent account types - UK, US and Universal. Also works with IRIS OpenBooks and other FreeAgent resellers. You need at least "Contacts and Projects" level of security to use mobileAgent.

Pros and cons of mobileAgent - for FreeAgent app for iPhone and iPad

mobileAgent - for FreeAgent app good for

Finally one app that does syncing right! Thank you! Works Great with freeagent.
the last one was ok. this update is better. great compliment to a great online service. highly recommend it.
As others have noted, mobileAgent doesnt fully support all of FreeAgents features like dashboards and bills but what it does support is exactly what I need on the road: a way to track my time and expenses. I havent used the mileage counter ( not sure if it uses GPS) The app forces you to t items by Client->Project->Task which I had to get used to but otherwise it works well. I would like to see bill notification support in the future but for what this app does - its great One note: change the description not to say "I cant provde support here" - I dont think anyone expects you to provide support over your app store home page
This app is great, seems to do almost everything I need. Would love to see quick switching between multiple accounts, like the competition - switching accounts in this app is cumbersome. Other than that, Im impressed.

Some bad moments

Im excited that theres finally an app for FreeAgent, however my expectations (needs/wants) were very high and unfortunately this app falls short in a couple of key areas for me. First, I cant add a new contact. I still need to do that via the website. Nor can you edit existing contacts or import them from your address book. Second, not all my contacts have companies and as a result, I have a huge pile of tasks all sorted at the top but I dont know who they belong to, even after tapping to view the details. Last, there doesnt seem to be any rhyme or reason for the sort method of the company-less contacts. Some appear to be by first name, other by surname. Let us pick one! Im sure Id have more to review but I just installed it this morning and Im certain is app will see updates so Ill update my review accordingly!
For mybusinessworks costumers, at log in, you are guided to press I need some log in help link. This takes you to the blank page and does not give you anything!
Bad ergonomic and often doesnt send your data to freeagent. You cannot edit any freeagent info. Totally useless. Better use freeagent web interface.
I dont like that I have to manually sync down any changes to the iPhone and then re-sync up the changes I make on the iPhone to my account. Its just a waste if time and there doesnt seem to be any "background" sync option so I have to wait until the app is done to exit out! But it serves its purpose, its a useful app and Nic provides great support. Thanks!
This is a good start for a great app but has a few glitches, however the developer has been responsive to helping correct. I guess we shall see... Would love to see the ability to update invoice payments and instantly send clients receipts.
Had a few glitches in the beginning but now I cant live without this app. I love the time slip and mileage functionalities! Nics support is swift and clearly explained.
