QBO Win App is available for Free download from the Intuit QuickBooks website. (For Mac Free download).
Official name of QBO Win App is “QuickBooks Online Accountant App”. I downloaded the App in my Windows computer. Once it is installed, you will see “qb” icon on your desktop which looks just like the icons of other QuickBooks desktop products. Please note it reads “QuickBooks” underneath “qb” as shown below:
Not to be confused with my other QuickBooks icons on my desktop, I renamed “QuickBooks” to “QBO App” as shown below:
Click QuickBooks app icon on desktop, then click “Yes” on “Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your PC?” on “User Account Control” screen:

Key App Features:
- It’s faster than QBO in a browser
- It has a menu structure like QuickBooks on the computer
- There are shortcut keys…Yup! Keyboard navigation in QBO
- Multiple Windows…Yes you can have an invoice and a customer list or an item list or the chart of accounts (or all of these) open at the same time, in QBO!
- Auto refresh of open windows e.g. When you enter an expense in one window, it affects the report that was open behind the expense form in the other window, it AUTO-REFRESHES!
Computer Requirement:
The caching in the QBO Win App is much more than what the browser can do due to technology limitations with a browser. Word on the street is that you can expect up to 30% improvement in speed over regular browser. Think of this App as your faster browser designed to be used just for QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Most likely this app will be continually upgraded to enhance the caching abilities to minimize the amount of time it takes to complete transactions. No doubt, this is a QBO game changing app.
Navigation:
It is very easy to get started with this App if you are already familiar with the QuickBooks Online. In less than ten minutes, you will find your way around.
Top 5 List

Top 2 Wish List:
