1.0 out of 5 stars Primitive, cumbersome, no decent tech suppport., May 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: QuickBooks Point of Sale Solution (CD-ROM)

As a long time QuickBooks Pro user, I had high hopes for POS, but this product is a disaster. It is simply unuseable without tech support ... You can't even email a question to Intuit. The fields are not customizable. If you have any need beyond the simplest retailing, you'll be stuck. No wholesaling, consignment, layaway, gift certificates. Lacks the most basic user friendly functions like drop-downs, macros (it takes 14 steps, including HTML coding, to attempt recalibrate printing price labels - NOT KIDDING - and you won't find those steps in the user manual.) Receipt and report layouts are barely customizable and lack basic information such as company name. Fonts cannot be changed are so small our customers need magnifying glasses to read prices. Interface between inventory, purchase vouchers and sales receipts very clumsy and cumbersome. Make a mistake on a long receipt and you have to start all over. No editing or overrides, even for password protected business owners. Intuit is squandering its good reputation on POS.

1.0 out of 5 stars Calling this software junk is praise, April 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: QuickBooks Point of Sale Solution (CD-ROM)

Having been in software development and set up many POS systems for people I can honestly say this is the poorest excuse for software I have ever seen. The features are non existent, The user interface is the worst. You have only a few ways to get inventory in this train wreck and they have very little to do with POS. There is no real cash register screen. It's just a grid with a few buttons. I can't see how anyone would find this application useful, especially at the price they are selling it for. Stick with Microsoft Quicksell 2000. Intuit, what are you thinking?

5.0 out of 5 stars Best investment I ever made!, May 17, 2002

I've been using an electronic cash register for over 14 years and have been manually entering my sales figures into my accounting. QuickBooks Point of Sale is GREAT! My sales totals now go automatically into my accounting. The cash register is also so easy to use and is very professional. I love it. Definitely worth every penny.
