Great at first. After years with them, switched to Square

Great app and support, at first. Funds were locked for months when the wave credit card was frozen, I could not ascertain where and why. Additionally, it took months to get an accurate answer for resolution. Lastly, my connection to BofA kept failing. I have switched to Square.

"Simple billing app for a fair price"

What do you like best about Wave? It is so easy to create bills and automatically send them, duplicate past bills, and set automatic reminders. There are other offerings I don't currently take advantage of, but for what I use it for it's brilliant. I moved to Wave from Paypal because Paypal raised their prices without my being aware of it. Wave has reasonable pricing while focussing on a great billing system. I also love how they simplify legal language on the side of the original text when ...

Worst customer support

This is the worst business that I have ever used. Their customer service is awful! They give themselves 5 to 7 days to respond to your email. No phone support. They do offer text support, but you will have to wait up to one hour or longer in the que. Then the staff, although polite, are not knowledgeable enough to help. I would recommend not using them.

HUGE issues with bank duplication

Bank stopped syncing. Contacted support who told me that it happens sometimes and that would likely return in a few days. It didn't. Tried disconnecting, then connecting -- was not asked how far back to go -- and it went back years. Contacted support who responded quickly that deleting these transactions was required.
