Joist App for Contractors for Positive User Reviews
✓ SimpleIt’s great when you can write a quote and break down the payment to make it more suitable able to take a deposit per job.Version: 3.79.2
✓ Great work abd easy to useStill some teething issues using it Including bank account info and differentiating footers for invoice vs quotes....Version: 3.73.0
✓ 5*Was recommended the App by a fellow trades person. I’ve found this App a really useful tool for my company. It easily allows me to carry out quotations and invoicing on my phone. It’s easy to use, prints directly from my phone to printer and when emailing quotes and invoice notify me when there opened. A extremely useful App which is used almost daily. One little thing I would like is if there was a way to layout my invoices in columns, as some of my work is sub contract and I have to layout gross amount, materials, labour, tax etc. But apart from that 5* App keep up the good work Joist😃.Version: 3.12.0
✓ Useful and helpfulI have been using joist for over a year and found it has helped my business it is very useful for any independent tradesmen..Version: 3.35.0
✓ Joist is my partner!I learned about Joist a long time ago while working for a fence company that needed some organization. We never used it but I would use it to keep my own clients organized and it was free so why not.... 2 years ago, I started my own fence company and decided to give an old friend some business and went with their “system” . This was a new program for them and I kept telling the developers to look at Joist, that’s the way it should work! It was expensive and I cancelled after a year, loaded all my clients into Joist and have never looked back. I saw a complaint about the $10 a mont fee for the Pro version. Really? Look, if I can keep all my clients in one tidy place and serve up a professional estimate for my clients, $120 a year isn’t much to ask. Joist is the best app I’ve seen for contractors and it makes me look good and keeps me organized. If you’re not using it, you’re missing out. The financing feature is the best as it keeps me from having to do one more thing to complete the sale. We tripled sales from our first year and Joist made things so much easier. THANKS JOIST! Michelle Blancho Echo Fence Franklin, TN.Version: 3.47.0
✓ Appreciate this program so much.Our business uses joist and couldn’t operate without it. Quotes and invoice can be done in the app on the phone anytime. Very convenient..Version: 3.66.0
✓ EasyI only use joist for basic day rate invoices, for that it’s perfect. I tried a few other apps and they were far to involved. Until joist I couldn’t find an app that would allow me to do the basics without pestering for all the other stuff I don’t need. I’m sure joist has more to offer but it’s great that I also have the option to keep it simple. Super quick, easy and intuitive to use..Version: 3.43.0

✓ It’s soo good for professionalsI have been using Joist for 6years now and the app keeps improving. It is not cheap but it’s worth every penny. Especially the elite subscription.Version: 3.76.0
✓ Changing back the invoice dateI was glad that I could change the invoice date back to a later date than what the date was when I sent it. For the customer that I was working for I Started the job couple of months before I sent him the invoice and because of his year end I was going into his next tax year. I made my customer Happy! Jerry with Twin River Eavestroughing & Exteriors. This is a good app once know how to use it. Thank you guys at Joist team!..Version: 3.92.1
✓ Useful and friendlyIt’s very easy to use and the presentation is awesome..Version: 3.78.0
✓ AwesomeEasy to use, had a bit of a play around with some of the input fields for the invoice layout and all in all simplicity, hope it stays free to use for years to come.Version: 3.0.1
✓ Our best company assetJoist has become the most important tool for building and developing our business. The estimates and invoicing are so professional and impressive, our clients rave about us. So we are here as raving fans of Joist, if you need anything or want help, just ask for Matt. He is super helpful!.Version: 3.91.0
✓ JackSo far I’ve been really happy with the app. Easy to use and quick..Version: 3.52.5
✓ HoistAwesome app. Highly recommend.Version: 3.36.0
✓ FourRidges ContractingWe use joist for all our quotes and invoices, very easy to use and very professional looking templates..Version: 3.71.0
✓ SuperbI have used the app for quotations for over a year now, simple to use, links up with all the staff phones instantly, can’t praise it enough..Version: 3.47.0
✓ Well Well WellI think it’s just lovely. We always get compliments on the UI and ease of payment software. Keep improving please because every time you add something, I go “oh wow it’s so much better and I didn’t know I needed that!”. One suggestion, backwards invoicing. Meaning allow us to create an estimate based off of the invoice we are viewing. Be it for the same job twice or we accidentally create a full estimate under invoicing only to realize we have to redo the entire thing again. Thanks for hearing us out in the reviews! PS - We have the old logo still on our iPad even though it’s been updated to the latest version. Gotta say though, the older logo was a lot cleaner..Version: 3.98.0
✓ Simple and preciseI’ve been using Joist for about a month and it’s so easy to use I would totally recommend it.Version: 3.41.0
✓ To All The Cry Baby Contractors...I love how contractors are lecturing an app developer about greed and charging for a service. It’s actually really funny but 1 Star review? Really? You’ve loved this app for years and now have to pay $10/mo and it’s 1 star? That messes with the integrity of the average rating. I guess I don’t expect you to be too bright. Great app. Definitely worth the small fee to run your business and to support bug fixes, updates, and maintenance. Makes perfect sense to release a quality app for free, gain exposure, and then scale the business to stay profitable. If having to pay $10 a month extra towards marketing costs is going to upset you, you’re not a real business. Get back to being lazy..Version: 3.44.0
✓ ContractorGreat app for my business great response.Version: 3.60.0
✓ Most effective business appJoist, simply to best app on my phone. I began using this app several years ago as I launched my Handyman Business. A free app that did so much, wow life is good. Over the years I have received many compliments as to professional appearance of my estimates and invoices. Joist’s announcement of the Pro Version and an annual subscription fee came to surprise of many. My reaction was simply “No I’m good” and can be fine without the reduced features. However, the value Joist brings to my business, the level and quality of the support team is well worth the fee. I had an opportunity today to seek support on adding a Job Site to my estimate. A simple chat session with support walked me through setting up this feature. Glad I subscribe to this great app. IDT HANDYMAN SERVICES.Version: 3.102.0
✓ Does exactly as it should.There is nothing misleading in the developers claims. No bait and switch. This truly is a practical and helpful and intuitive platform by which the customer relations process for business owners of all calibres can be made almost painless. A true 5/5 stars!!.Version: 3.69.1
✓ BrilliantFor me this app is perfect for a sub contractor and is so easy to use and keep track of what payments are due I would recommend it to everyone. The only feature that would improve for me was if you could take 20% tax of as you need to do working for a lot of companies. You can do this under discount but if this could be changed to tax It would be perfect.Version: 3.29.0
✓ LITERALLY MULTIPLIED MY BUSINESSWhen I first started out it was just me. Didn’t know too much about anything although I always strived for professionalism. I use to do bids through text messages until somebody asked me for a “formal bid”....I freaked since I hadn’t a clue. To the day the least, I lost that job. Shortly after a buddy introduced me to Joist.....since I’m not tech savvy, I was skeptical but thought “why not?” Now looking back, I am truly grateful for my friend. This app single handedly taught me the entire process on how to do estimates, invoices, paid invoices,...it showed me the difference between those three, it also taught me in so many ways basic formats on how to bid projects for my business all the while looking extremely professional. Now days I get 90-95% of all bids that I submit all thanks to the joist app that literally takes me 5 min to complete from inside of my truck and from my phone. Thank you joist! MOST IMPORTANTLY, THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS ALL FREE OF NO COST!!!!!.Version: 2.9.5
✓ Great App!!We have been using this app for a couple of years now for both of our businesses. We have a wide array of services and a growing clientele and must work from multiple locations. With the Joist app we can do billing, estimates, etc. in real time which allows us to all work on our own job responsibilities yet keep updated as to what others are doing without having to contact one another continuously throughout the day... I can see the estimates being done out in the field as well as they can see what billing I have done... and I really find the email opened notification useful - so when I send an invoice to someone via email, i am alerted that the client has opened it and received my invoices!.Version: 3.3.0
✓ Ultimate tool for busy small businessWe couldn’t run our business without Joist. Once we set all our items up, quotes now take only a couple of minutes to send and invoicing is even simpler..Version: 3.40.0
✓ Joist estimate and invoicing appAs a business owner this app is a great tool to help with writing and keep track of records for estimates and invoices especially for someone just starting to produce their own estimates and invoices and keep records of when the work or service was completed, what was done, the materials used and pricing (for future reference as well), the customers info., your business info. Appears (as you set it up to read) on each document, you can also record deposit and payment amounts. That’s just some of the features. I am a contractor and do many scopes of work as I am skilled in many things. This app is a great tool to have in one’s tool box and very helpful! GDrennenLLC. Gary Drennen.Version: 3.46.0
✓ Very helpfulLove the app allows me to stream line my business.Version: 3.77.0
✓ Arts lawnsUseful tool makes life easier.Version: 3.50.0
✓ I really like this app. Makes estimates a breezeI have a handy man business that’s been progressing into a home remodeling business . I’ve only been using this app for a couple of months and has been a time saver. It is very intuitive for the not so tech savvy people . You can “draw up” an estimate and invoice on the spot and when you email an estimate you get a notification when it is viewed. There are a lot of features that you’d have to see for yourself. The only issue I have is sometimes when trying to load an estimate that I’ve been working on is that it freezes in loading mode. But I found that by toggling between invoice and back to estimate mode will help to load invoices. I would highly recommend this app. Thanks Joist developers.Version: 3.18.0
✓ BEST APP EVER*not sponsered* Have been running a small family business in stone masonry for a few year now and wish I had come across this sooner.. what a game changer! So easy to use, love, love, love!!!.Version: 3.31.0
✓ AmazingThis app was great when it first became online. We started using it shortly after it was introduced. I am CEO of Ultra Exteriors, Inc. I can’t rate the app highly enough. Every home improvement contractor should use it except my competitors. Our estimates look so professional Compared to theirs and that get me the job many times even if we are are charging more. It makes us look like we are more professional. The new features allows us to turn the estimate to an invoice is about 5 seconds and get a signature on the IPad. We can get our clients financed and collect the job all from the app. The money transferred directly into our bank. Thank you Joist team! Your are making it better every day!.Version: 3.52.7
✓ AmazingThis app has revolutionised my business with regard to quoting & invoicing & accounts... Best you'll find anywhere.... beyond amazing.Version: 3.60.0
✓ Uk problemsI have been using this app since it’s inception at a guess,I really can’t fault it,and every update has added things I’ve wanted....the only problem is they don’t work in the uk. I have so many customers who have tried to pay through the app when you send an invoice,only for me to turn round and say sorry that doesn’t work,which usually results in them saying why offer it then. Joist please can you sort this out so that it can either be removed from the invoice or actually work in the uk.Version: 3.9.0
✓ Great AppI’m a contractor and Joist is the only app I use for invoices. It’s easy to use and it’s what all my mates use as well, it’s fantastic..Version: 3.39.1
✓ A couple of requests.First let me say this is a fabulous app, there are just a couple things that would make it even better. Please make it standard to keep a draft of an email when sending an invoice, right now if you close the email it is deleted. Please make an option for adding multiple email addresses to a client’s account. Please connect the address line, the BCC and CC lines in email to the contact list. The way it stands I have to remember a second email address as it won’t let me copy/paste email address into the address bar of an email. I frequently send two sometimes three different people a copy of an invoice: property managers, owners, husbands and wives. Edit: after updating an invoice and re-sending it, there is no option to write another email to explain the edits or additions, the email is just sent Directly from the invoice page. It would be heavenly if there were a Calendar drop down in the description of a line item to show the date of each line item in the invoice. And so I can search my invoices by line item/date. This would help me match up materials with receipts as well. And this is just pie in the sky but it would be so cool to have a Calendar where I write down the work I’ve done for the day, for a particular client, and then hit “send to Joist invoice” but that’s just me dreamin’. Keep up the good work!.Version: 3.6.1
✓ Nexcit ConstructionI can’t wait for the card reader. That’ll be awesome.Version: 3.0.7
✓ Fantastic and EasyA fantastic app that’s literally changed the way i do my accounting, my wife used to do all my estimates and invoices now i do it on the move saving stress and time. I downloaded my own logo that gives it a very professional look. Really happy with it. 10/10.Version: 3.10.0
✓ Brilliant appI’m a plumbing and heating engineer and I’ve been using this app for a couple of weeks now and cannot tell you how useful it is !! To be able to create quotes and invoices in the go is brilliant. Love this app ❤️.Version: 3.20.0
✓ Easiest invoicing app! & great customer service!I have used Joist for a couple of years now. It’s very easy on the app as well as the PC. I don’t have the premium version and the base version gives me everything I need. Contacts can be saved, invoicing items can be saved - meaning if you do the same type of invoices regularly it’s a breeze. I recently had a query and the customer service team have delivered amazing service and prompt response & fixes. Keep up the good work Joist!.Version: 3.66.0
✓ BrilliantOnly, it would be far better to store data on the device and only backup to the cloud..Version: 3.16.0
✓ FantasticHave been using this app for about two years now and it is fantastic and free it has helped transform my Buisness and my many thanks go out to all the guys and girls behind it. 10 out of 10..Version: 3.0.1

✓ Great appGreat app makes invoices and paperwork look professional and easy to keep track.Version: 3.75.0
✓ Great little systemThis is a really flexible small business system for small contractors Link it up with quickbooks for a small fee and it does the job perfectly.Version: 3.34.0
✓ Amazing appThe best app for contractors.Version: 3.75.0
✓ Great appPerforms and easy to use.Version: 3.81.0
✓ Quantity LabelOverall the app is great, easy to manage, and easy to edit different sections. Love the fact that if you buy the elite option, you can change the order. Love the fact you can set discounts and adjustments based on percentage or just flat out rate. However, I do feel like we should have the option to edit the quantity label.. maybe give us options of Sq Ft, Miles, Yards, Linear Ft, etc. Another thing that needs attention, is the fact that if we offer PayPal or credit car payment and set it up to where the customer pays that fee, it changes the total amount, I think you guys should try to set it up to where if they do choose that option, then they see the extra charge, and not straight from the get go. It confuses customers (who don’t always read the whole estimate) sometimes..Version: 3.89.1
✓ Procoating Contractors only choiceI been looking in to many apps for invoice making and finally I found joist and I really love using it. Easy to use and simple to work with. Thank you joist you made my life easy . 5 star for sure 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.Version: 3.6.1
✓ Awesome appHonestly the best. Easy to use and does the job. Thank you!!!.Version: 3.70.0
✓ Overall a fantastic app!I have been using joist for a few years now and I find it very useful. Easy to use and effective. The app is always improving too. Makes life a lot easier. 5star!!.Version: 3.14.0
✓ Great appEasy to use and gets the job done.Version: 3.52.7
✓ Fantastic Free AppJust the fact a great app like this is free deserves five stars from me. Thanks for the great work developers. This App is Easy to Use and just does what it says it will do. I always appreciate when a great app is free and very thankful for the developers hard work. Thanks Guys 👏🏻.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Great app!Been using it for a while now and it seems really good so far. Highly recommended..Version: 3.30.0
✓ Good free invoice appNot as many features as the pay per month apps but I'm not complaining, fewer overhead costs means more profits, hope it stays free to use! Thanks guys.Version: 2.9.1
✓ Grat AppI’m currently using the free version and I’m very pleased with it. My only reason to not use the pro version is that I hardly need estimates or invoices. Otherwise I would definitely pay for the pro version. It’s easy to use and very handy to have 👍.Version: 3.75.0
✓ ExcellentA very good app for my small construction business. I agree with another review in the UK we have to take personal tax off the total and it would be better if you could change the discount label to tax deduction. All the updates so far have only improved the app and I would highly recommend it..Version: 3.6.1
✓ Absolutely brilliant app.For a free app this is excellent. Sure there are a few tweaks I’d like to see, however, as it is, it’s really good and I’d recommend it to anyone. Especially someone who’s self-employed like myself..Version: 3.29.0
✓ Great product with free option.Fantastic software, I’ve used this app for nearly 5 years as a sole trader. I took the time to read the T&C’s before using to ensure I wouldn’t end up penalised with high usage costs. Upgrades have been added at different levels that do require a fee which I have subscribed to and I highly recommended. My favourite feature is the notifications when a client opens the email then quote/invoice, brilliant..Version: 3.89.1
✓ Everything To My CompanyJoist has been the best thing to happen to my company. It was so hard to send professional bids and keep my remodeling company organized, things were everywhere and took so much of my time to keep it all organized. Since I have had joist I am able to link my phone, tablet, and computer. I am so thankful that this App is free and it’s way better than any app that charges money( I’ve done a lot of free trials) if you have been searching for an app that does it all for your estimates an book keeping look no further! All updates and improvements that joist makes just keeps the program accurate and more contractor friendly. I only wish they also had a time tracking app for free that I could use for my employees!.Version: 3.3.0
✓ Excellent - and it's freeExcellent and very professional. It has some weakness where mark-up values for material purchases cannot be hidden from the customer and does not support a method of payment into the bank (for the UK that is) although I have been informed it does for the USA..Version: 3.22.0
✓ Customer service is on point! Brendan rocks!I’m writing this review solely based on customer service. Brendan and I spoke several times over a 3 weeks period when we had a customer fraudulently chargeback 2 credit card charges. It was a fairly decent amount of money and Brendan not only explained the process of how to contest the chargebacks, he explained everything thing I needed to send in for backup. I truly believe that our issue was processed in such a timely fashion because of his help. It’s very rare for a company to have this level of service. 90% of the time I called in to support he answered, and if he didn’t I was easily transferred to him. I do marketing for several contractors/painters, etc and I recommend this app to them all solely based on my interactions with Brendan. 5 stars from JJ Specialty Paint!.Version: 3.5.2
✓ Best app for running a small businessI’ve been using Joist for more than a year now and it has proved to be the best thing I could have ever done. My invoices look great and are so easy to create. Invoices can be sent to customers via email or text message. Super easy, fast and secure..Version: 3.60.0
✓ Super simple has everything you needBeen using this app for the last 6 years after looking at a few others. This one seems to be the easiest and best one. I finally upgraded to the $20 a month which is absolutely reasonable after using the free version for a while. Happy to support a well designed tool..Version: 3.89.1
✓ (was) My most used app!I can't recommend this app highly enough, its by far the most used app I have. Extremely easy to use, well made & priced great :) I KNEW IT WAS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE...... joist pro 😕😪.Version: 3.33.0
✓ Start small grow to do business right!Hello there I been using the app for a very long time I think almost since the launch. I start using the app for my business when was very little to interface only items, company info and a minimum interaction they I was keep using it when I was contacted by them to discuss some details and ideas of how to improve the app integration I was more than happy to do so because we are looking forward to grow up as business so why not help by sharing my own ideas some of them are live right now in the app some didn’t make it, couple of employees from San Francisco base came to my house to discuss that option one of the options was taking credit cards as a payment back there was discuss to have a reader for cards because at the time everything works that way, I don’t recall getting the reader they jump in to web integration card processing another tiny bit was work order and change order the now are available so depending on what you do as business they got you covered. I don’t mind getting charged by upgrading the app hopefully they don’t raise the price a lot any time soon y remember the app was free then they request to purchase I’m not sure that’s what I recall but as a business owner I totally understand the charge we all need to adjust for the overhead so keep the good work. Please don’t raise the monthly fee to soon..Version: 3.58.1
✓ Love itIt’s been a great app keep up the great work guys ..Version: 3.52.7
✓ Organize your bidsJoist is helpful in organization but there are some bugs on Mac computer where you can’t move line items up and I have to go into the iPhone app to modify it. I also would like to be able to modify estimates and revert them to a previous version as clients are often changing scope of work frequently. It is a bit inconvenient to create a new estimate for them, or have the worry of changing the current one only to have to revert it to a previous state once they realize they can’t afford the additional work. I have the pro version and attach a contact but I wish that you could move client notes to the end in order to have the contract printed on the estimate when double sided printing is used. It also would be nice to be able to have the date displayed on the contract by the signature section. It is amazing to see when clients view the estimate. Very valuable information to the contractor..Version: 3.52.7
✓ Great invoicing programDoes what I need when I need 5 stars.Version: 3.12.0
✓ Very good appLove the app, works perfectly. I do have some suggestions for improvements for the Automotive industry.Version: 3.18.1
✓ Simply SuperbThis has got to be one of the best apps I’ve used. Such a simple interface, quick to learn and so easy to use, it makes quoting and invoicing a piece of cake. I love the ability to include my own business graphic which appears on all my quotes and invoices. This is a MUST HAVE for any business..Version: 3.14.0
✓ Great appBeen using this app for a few years since starting up on my own. I love how it saves the clients details etc for returning customers. I only use the free version but can also imagine the paid app will be just as good, if not better !.Version: 3.59.0
✓ Simple and easyJoist is about as simple and easy as it could get for contractors. Saves hours on paperwork and helps keep organized..Version: 3.75.0
✓ One of the few apps that I’ve used for the life of my businessExcellent app, though I’ve never had anyone use the financing options, it’s still something that customers like to have the option of. The best part of the app is it’s organizational properties and it’s ability to pull previously used items and pricing. Adding taxes is easily done, with the ability to have multiple or different taxes for different counties or states. Adding a markup that isn’t shown but is instead applied to each line item equally is also a great and convenient option. Estimates are a breeze to make and just as easy to convert over to an invoice. Keep track of payments per each invoice is also done for you, you just have to input what is paid and for what invoice. It’ll even remind you if an invoice hasn’t been paid in full and a brief period of time has passed. And this is all just the free version. The paid has even more helpful options. Very pleased with it and I can for see using it for all my future needs..Version: 3.77.0
✓ Good valueGreat product for the price. Joist has saved me a lot of time and energy and made my quoting very professional.Version: 3.78.0
✓ Amazing AppThis is a brilliant app - I've been using it for over 5 years and I don't know how I would manage my business without it. Thank you Joist..Version: 3.49.0
✓ Incredibly useful appI wish I had found this app years ago! So incredibly easy to figure out, you’ll be up and running within a day. Good UI, “help” pages that actually help.... I can’t begin to say how much this has improved my being able to keep track of ALL invoices/estimates at a glance instead of each being a separate file. Very customizable as far as what info you want to include on each sheet. Having the ability to accept payments right from each invoice is just immensely helpful... basically this app changed EVERYTHING for me.. I’m now a one man show who looks like I work for a much larger company. Note to the developers: Thanks for making a great app that easily and quickly does everything I need (and things I didn’t know I needed) without being bloated and overly complicated.... greatly appreciated. Thank you!.Version: 3.14.0
✓ Perfect for the small and medium businessJoist is great for what I need as I’m just starting up make things a lot easier, as no one likes spending to much time on paperwork..Version: 3.57.1
✓ Office ManagerGreat CRM program. Could maybe have a few more features available to Elite pros. However we love the simplicity of their app and it’s user friendly. It saves us so much time with estimates and billing. We’re 100% satisfied with the product and even signed up for a year given the discount offered to us at the end of our payment process. Their customer service was tremendous and extremely helpful when we began looking into their product as we had tons of questions or concerns. Great product Great price. It’s the perfect CRM for our company. Does everything we needed and even more than what we expected. Signed up and then found out we now were able to offer our customers financing options for their projects which was HUGE to us. I would love it if Joist could add a spot so their pro elite contractors can request reviews from our customers. Maybe someday. 100% satisfied would 100% recommend..Version: 3.72.1
✓ All in one placeBy far the most streamlined contracting software I’ve used yet!.Version: 3.85.0
✓ Great invoicing/estimating software for any independent contractor.It has a couple quirks, limited offline capabilities and paying extra for the pro features is what it is but no contractor should be without Joist or a similar setup for basic invoicing and estimating needs. If you’re not ready to dive into full on accounting software and want something quick and basic for giving bids and sending bills to clients this works great on a phone, tablet or desktop computer. Set up your company info and your documents self format and you just add items (material or services) and rates/quantities and viola instant bid. Click a button and it turns your bid into an invoice. It’ll handle payments as well. Even the free version will accept E checks and credit cards. I’d give it a 4 1/2 stars total. I often push my less organized subs to use this app to get away from chicken scratch bids and bills and it benefits them in the end more than it does me..Version: 3.71.0
✓ Finally!This App of awesome, I've been looking for something like this for a while. As a new business owner just starting out and with not a lot of capital, I was searching for a free software that does what joist does. Well most of the other software out there and there is a lot of options are very expensive and I couldn't afford to get them just yet but joist is absolutely free, very user friendly and extremely professional looking. You only pay if the customer uses the pay with CC or electronic check feature and even then it's a nominal fee. Obviously it's missing some of the awesome bells and whistles of the other guys but I'm confident they are working to implement those features for future release. Either way joist is an great find and they now have a customer for life..Version: 2.9.1
✓ IssuesFirstly, I love this app..used it for many years without issues. I’ve just updated the latest version on my iPad to find that I cant access anything now, yet my iPhone ( didn’t update new version yet ,thank God) is still ok. Please advise on what’s happening. Thank you Update.. upgraded my iPad, everything back to normal!!!.Version: 3.85.0
✓ Electrical and air conditioning contractorI’ve been using joist for years and it is a great app that helps my business greatly..Version: 3.16.0
✓ Almost perfectIf it wasn’t for using Joist from the very beginning - when it was buggy and glitchy I would have given it 3 stars! Back then. Over the years we influenced over 25 subcontractors and businesses to use this app and until today kept promoting this app. They have done well with the format and interface, taking away the logo feature for free users was a bit petty! but sadly we upgraded to the pro version to pay back for the years of use, for them to then release an elite version??? What’s worse it’s an app for trades people and contractors, that doesn’t include CIS (construction industry scheme deductions) - a standard in the UK so sadly we can no longer use and will have to cancel our membership. Thanks for the good years it could have been 5 stars for years to come. Good luck Joist and let us know if you add the CIS feature, the payment feature and seamless link to Quick books - hold on a minute... did I just give you 4 stars?.Version: 3.52.7
✓ Love it but.......Love this app and have been using it for ages and love how you guys keep trying to make it better but after the last update I can’t seem to make any payments under invoices with my iPhone 7 Update 3/6/18 - done and dusted fixed. Nice work guys.Version: 3.16.0
✓ Must have app for contractorsJ’utilise cette Joist depuis déjà 3 ans. Si vous saviez combien de temps cette application m’a fait sauver ! Pour moi, payer pour un service Pro semble normal, simplement pour avoir encore plus de service rattaché. TAKE MY MONEY ALL-READY !! Tipe for you guys. 1:Could you put in a historic for each estimate/invoice so customer could go back in previous version of it. 2: could you do a invoice to estimate option so when we wrongfully started a estimate in a Invoice form, we could switch it back..Version: 3.60.0
✓ Great appVery applicable to any industry!!! Highly recommend 👍🏼 use it everyday for last 4 years! Can’t wait for the team version!!!!.Version: 3.57.1
✓ JoistBeen using this app for the last few years & it's made my business look more professional & easy for customers to follow. The app covers all my business needs & is so easy to use. I would & have recommended it to my fellow tradesmen. Another handy feature is that it tell you when the invioce or estimate has been opened. Puts a stop to customers claiming they didn’t get the invioce & therefor delaying payment..Version: 3.82.0
✓ Good apEasy to use, really happy so far. Haven’t synced with pc yet..Version: 3.20.0
✓ ContractorGreat app, best that I’ve used for billing with multiple options to receive payments. Instant notifications when clients view your quotes and invoices. Pro elite is worth the price. I’ll give it 6 out of 5 stars when Canada gets the financing options..Version: 3.70.0
✓ Hands down the best invoicing and estimate appI’ve been using Joist daily for 4 years. It has made invoices and quotes so simple to produce. I tried many apps before Joist but none can compare to its ease of use and reliability. Thank you for providing such a fantastic tool for my small business. It has saved me hours each week! I have passionately recommended Joist to many other people over the years, and every person who took my suggestion to use Joist is as happy with it as I am! The read receipts and monthly totals are a god send! Thanks again!.Version: 3.4.0
✓ Great App!!I have started to use Joist for my invoicing 1year and 8 months ago. My life got much simpler and now I couldn’t work without it. I will merge it with Quickbooks to make also my tax return simpler! Well done guys.Version: 3.26.0
✓ Building contractorI run a home construction / remodeling business and have used the joist program for the past 2-3 years. It is a very easy way to create and send invoices to customers or potential customers. Now that the times have changed and the hand delivered / hand written quotes and invoices are a thing of the past, the majority of my documents are sent to customers via e mail. Joist has made this very easy for me to do. And it must be easy if I could figure it out! It keeps track of when estimates/ invoices were created, sent, or even if viewed by the recipient. Easily attach photos of progress or completion of projects. Save customer information for future billing. And even allow them to pay through the program (something that I have not tried) but I suppose could be convenient for some. It’s a very worthwhile billing app if you want professional looking documents in an easy to create / easy to send program. I would definitely recommend..Version: 3.24.0
✓ Has issues with receiving my moneyVery good and helpful app , but customer service is very bad , can’t help you at all. Joist payments are very awful for refund issues. I had the same problem with Square , in about 2 min my problem was solved. Switch to paypal payment it’s a nightmare. Update: Brendan was very helpful at solving my issue, called me straight away and in 2 days I received my money. Thank you!.Version: 3.62.0
✓ Joist appAbsolutely amazing app , really helps a self employed or small business gain confidence with customers ,save time and also stay up to date with invoices payments and I'd recommend this to anyone.Version: 3.9.0
✓ ContractorJoist was recommended to me by a fellow contractor and after a little bit of time to get familiar with the app I can say that it has really been a great asset to by small business. Thanks!.Version: 3.67.0
✓ Just perfectIv used a few different invoicing apps this is the best. Easy to use and easy to track what’s owed and what’s been paid. It’s just perfect simple as..Version: 3.0.9
✓ GoodA little slow to load at times but good overall.Version: 3.57.1
✓ Helpful appGreat app for invoices, would be better if they allowed to save your own invoices outside of the app though.Version: 3.35.0
✓ Makes my estimating and invoicing easyI love everything about this app. It is perfect for my invoicing and estimating/bidding. The sections portion is great for dividing a job up by task or scope. The ability to send an email or text and the client has access without the need for paper is awesome. Several of my clients have said it’s really nice and very professional. I’ll give it a 5star rating when I can apply the markup feature to certain sections, like to the materials for the steam shower but not the labor for a steam shower. The customer service is great. Ive had questions and had them answered immediately and in a friendly manner. To me a good app is one you can use daily and it pretty much takes care of everything needed. I’m a new tile contractor who mostly works solo, and I feel like this app will be with me as my business grows. It’s worth every penny and for the price it’s a great deal..Version: 3.82.0
✓ You can,t go wrong with this appThank you guys behind this app the only thing that can helps more is area for bank details..Version: 3.6.0

✓ Great App for Flooring Contractors!I’ve been using Joist for my flooring business for two years now. We upgraded to Joist Pro and really enjoy the customization features that offers. I’m happy with how professional the estimates and invoices look when I send them to customers. My only complaint right now is the addition of a Joist Payments ad that pops up when I am editing my estimates. I am not interested in offering my customers payment options and would like to be able to opt out of seeing this ad. It has changed the view of my estimates while I edit and adds clutter to my screen. One of my favorite things about Joist was how simple the view was..Version: 3.92.1
✓ WoodworkerThis is a great invoicing application..Version: 3.62.0
✓ Building contractor 30 years multi million dollar levelThis is a great app. Just the fact that it alerts you when the customer opens up their email proposal Is Worth it. Customer can sign on the phone. You can email easy. You can upload your docs. Give a discount for paying in like seven days.. Joist has a payment percentage schedule. Which is the most important part of your proposal by the way. For those of you starting out. You can do PayPal and now you’re saving there. They take credit cards through the system. Might as well get on some type of platform for Contractors because this app is just gonna keep evolving for the better..Version: 3.70.0
✓ Helpful for my businessVery good and practical app that is easy to use. I have also found the support to be kind and helpful as well. I have no desire to use any other app and highly recommend Joist to others..Version: 3.90.0
✓ A great invoicing app for tradesVery useful and easy to use app.Version: 3.75.0
✓ Owner / contractorMakes estimates and invoicing faster and efficient.Version: 3.62.0
✓ Unprofessional Invoices, unless you pay.When I first started using Joist, the free version allowed me to include my logo on the invoices. Now, because I don’t need the other premium options, I have to settle with an amateurish looking invoice, just because Joist pulled the free option of having a logo on the invoices. I appreciate that Joist needs to make profit, but as a one-person contractor with a limited budget, it is not worth paying monthly just to have a logo on my invoices. Although Joist is reliable, (with just a few quirks that I can live with), sending invoices that look home-made has stopped my commercial clients from asking what app I use..Version: 3.70.0
✓ JoistRun all my business on this app and honestly couldn’t be more impressed. Thanks for such a great tool !! Travis and Canadian dream windows and doors.Version: 3.82.0
✓ Love It!...only two small problemsI have been using joist since 2014 and really love it. It is user friendly with everything i need to generate professional estimates and invoices to print or email to my clients. One of the only drawbacks for me is that you cannot make an adjustment to the final payment in the client's favor. I get around this by adjusting the labor cost, but it would be nice if you could just complete payment by listing a discount or credit. Also, if you generate an invoice and have and delete it, the next invoice is numbered as if the deleted one still exists. Obviously I still rated 5 stars as I use it all the time, but would be nice to have those little things fixed..Version: 2.9.1
✓ AwesomeVery helpful it has streamlined my business to the point where I enjoy doing estimates and invoices due to its simplicity and ease of action would highly recommend Jason Hendry 4 j constructions ptyltd Award winning builders.Version: 3.35.0
✓ Great appSimple and easy to use for my small business great also for start up businesses..Version: 3.77.0
✓ Eversafe Electrical and MaintenanceJoist was recommended to me by a plumber who has used It for a long time. It is truely amazing, has never let me down, and the support is exceptional. I have many companies phoning me to sell me something different to use. When I tell them I use Joist they can't get off the phone fast enough, because they know I won't be changing. Cheers! Ross.Version: 3.0.5
✓ Great quote and invoice app with good supportHave been using for a long time with only two problems which were sorted out straight away, I will be upgrading to paid version soon but don’t need it right away. A lot of great features especially alert for when your invoice has been viewed and paid.Version: 3.45.0
✓ Unbelievable valueI have been running my fencing and project management company successfully with joist for years . Always had great back up from the team and now enjoying Joist Pro at a ridiculously cheap price .. Cheers Guys x.Version: 3.94.0
✓ JoistGreat and quick app for the contractors i wish the credit card reader was available already.Version: 3.0.7
✓ Easy to use and convenientEasy to setup and use especially whilst on the go. Can record invoices as drafts or even estimates and convert to invoices. Drafts help keep track of time spent doing work and then can fill in more when convenient. Disappointed in the more recent version of the free app that I now have lost ability to use my logo. But it’s a small price to pay..Version: 3.74.1
✓ Handy appI run a renovation company and use joist for invoicing and estimating it is pretty good. I would recommend to friends.Version: 3.67.0
✓ UnbelievableThis is a must if you are like me, we are a small building maintenance business with the need to estimate and invoice on the go, I run the joist app on my phone my iPad and also on any computer that’s got a internet connection where I just go into any browser and log in , with just the single account they all sync and see the same thing making it an awesome app, it looks, feels and works with a truly professional result with the simplest Of interfaces, it sends my customers a beautifully presented emailed estimate then when ready a top notch invoice, records payments full or part of and I can return to any previous to update make new or print for accounts..LIKE I SAID UNBELIEVABLE...Stephen Sparkes property maintenance Ipswich...Version: 3.0.4
✓ Work wonderful for us!Love it.Version: 3.73.0
✓ Very goodVery good.Version: 3.74.1
✓ I LOVE THIS APP!!!I can’t say enough good things about the Joist app! I started out using it occasionally for estimates and invoices. Because of the amazing support team and the incredibly user-friendly interface, I have moved to using it exclusively for all of my estimates and billing. The app has been updated regularly, and each time they have added valuable services that only make it better for my business. I recently signed up for their credit card processing service, and I’ve been thrilled with the speed of payments. Customers can pay online with a credit card or electronic check as soon as they receive my invoice, and the money is quickly deposited directly to my account. **Please don’t tell the developers this, but I would have gladly paid for this app once I saw how insanely helpful it is.** It’s a must for any business, small or large. Thanks Joist!!! Keep up the great work!.Version: 3.8.0
✓ AmazingThis app has been a game changer for me and my business.Version: 3.71.0
✓ InvaluableI've had many apps before like this but they were ok, however I think this App is superb and I love the features, like notifying you when your client opens their email from joist.Version: 3.11.1
✓ UsefulI don't like that when you add a markup to an item, it rounds to 3 decimal points..Version: 3.85.0
✓ OutstandingI am a healthcare professional who has to raise invoices. Even though this is marketed at tradespeople it works for anyone. I recommend it to everyone -my sons girlfriend who works in a gym found it as amazing as me. Independent occupational therapists struggle to understand private practice have been bowled over etc etc. I cannot rate it highly enough, and any time I have a query a friendly member of staff gets straight back to me. Have not tried the synch to books but I am sure it’s just as good. I am the least technical person I know, cannot manage an excel spreadsheet to save my life (or anyone else’s). This system is soooo straight forward and looks professional. . Fantastic app would highly recommend..Version: 3.74.1
✓ AwesomeI am a sole trader and this app is the best I have used for quotes and invoices . So easy to use . I will recommend to anyone 👍🏼.Version: 3.61.1
✓ Great app for a small businessThis app is an absolute must for small businesses. Easily keep a record of items to easily and quickly draw up estimates and quotations. I’d like to see Joist add Xero integration but for my business, the client can accept the quote on joist then I can invoice them on Xero. I believe this works great with QuickBooks. I like to offer my clients different options. Currently this isn’t possible but I hope Joist look at updating and adding new features soon..Version: 3.50.0
✓ Top service.The service and app are brilliant. Over the couple of yours I have used the joist App it has saved me so much time and admin hours. Customer read notification is amazing. The app is simple to navigate around. Keep up the good work..Version: 3.68.0
