Accountz Mobile App

Introduction

Accounting Software Mobile App Main Menu

The Accountz Mobile App enables you to record your expenses on the go, and automatically (or manually, if you prefer) download your transactions to your Home Accountzdesktop program.

It works on mobile devices such as smart phones/tablets (minimum operating system requirements: Android 2.3+, iOS 7+, Kindle), and requires an online services subscription to work. It can be downloaded from Google Play (Android), the App Store (Apple) or Amazon Appstore (Kindle) as appropriate.

The logic of the app is that you can enter transactions into the mobile application, and these are automatically sent to our server ready to be downloaded the next time you run Home Accountz on your computer.

For information on how to download and login to the app, please see this link.

For information on how to use the app itself, please see this link to the mobile app help site.

Within Home Accountz, the main menu option File>Mobile App Settings offers a number of options regarding how Home Accountz works in conjunction with the app.

Here you can set whether the program automatically or manually downloads your transactions, register a new/sync an existing project, plus view any recently imported transactions.
