CNET Editors' review
Express Invoice is a tool for creating invoices and managing bills for small businesses. Its simple layout and helpful options make it a great program for keeping an eye on finances.
We found the program to be instantly inviting, with its functions clearly labeled and helpful onscreen instructions popping up along the way to express what data needed to be placed where. We were able to quickly populate a customer database with all billing information, build our warehouse of sale items from scratch, and apply both of these aspects toward creating an invoice. We were pleased with the professional and highly readable look of our invoices. They were perfect for printing and including with a sale. The program also offered simple tools for creating quotes and order forms, which have the same basic appearance as the invoice. Express Invoice also provided an extensive report-running feature. Here we could look at outstanding payments, current inventory, and much more.
Express Invoice is a freeware program. It comes as a compressed file, installs desktop icons without permission, and leaves behind folders after uninstall. We loved the program's simplicity and recommend it.

"Good product, BUT not happy with the add-ons"
Version: Express Invoice 3.37
Pros
Very simple to use, in fact I was able to transfer all of my customers in no time at all. The system works, and easy to maintain. Very happy with it.
Cons
I hate the fact that NCH feel the need to impose their search page on all of my browsers, including adding a useless toolbar. Happy to buy their software but everything else is bordering on harassment.

"Very nice setup, but with a catch....beware!"
Version: Express Invoice 3.37
Pros
Works very nice, it's very light for my computer. Nice email setup to send invoices in PDF format. Very well organized. Easy to use.
Cons
Horrible customer service!!! I mean really bad!!
Randomly applies partial payments to some of my invoices, then I get a check on the mail for the balance. I have to explain the customer that my invoicing software is applying partial payments.
And the worst of all is that a window popped out saying there was a new version so I updated. A couple of days later a window popped out saying I was on a trial! ***!!!!!!!!!!! It hasn't even been a year. I sent them an email but like I said before, the customer service sucks so bad that they never answer back, who knows if the even read the messages customers sends them. Now I would have to pay again to use their new version. Pretty F@*ked up, right? -
