And, for those concerned about online data security, this is a more secure way to access client data than in a browser. The local caching also means that you are not as vulnerable to slowdowns in network speed or temporary QuickBooks Online outages. Data entry is quicker than browser, since you don’t have to wait as long for Save and the form to refresh. The caching also means that when you open a screen the second time, it loads even more quickly. This is most noticeable when you access long lists of data, such as a bank register or a chart of accounts. Pages load up to 150% faster in the app than they do in the browser because the QuickBooks app uses local caching of data. And, unlike the browser, you can stay logged in for days, not the maximum of four hours that the browser allows.

Contrast this to the browser experience of having to log in, perhaps choose your identity, then the company you want to access from your client list and then opening up the windows you were last working in. Not only do you stay permanently logged into your account, but the app also opens right to the last company you accessed, letting you get back to work within seconds. I love that I can start working in QuickBooks Online in seconds, with one click of the App icon on my taskbar or Dock, just like any other Windows or Mac application. Using the desktop app means that we save time doing routine tasks, and have access to desktop application standard features. The app was specifically designed for power users like accountants. Similar to apps such as Spotify or Outlook for Office 365, it is a desktop application that accesses online data. The QuickBooks Online App for Windows is “thin-client” for QuickBooks Online that gives you the ability to use QuickBooks Online as if it was a natively installed program. Last fall, the Windows app was also released, and now everyone has the ability to work more productively in QuickBooks Online.
