Thanks for getting back to us, kochtransport-ou.

Allow me to chime in and help ensure this is taken care of for you.

Since the issue persists after uninstalling and reinstalling your QuickBooks Online (QBO) mobile app, I highly suggest contacting our Support team. They have tools that can pull up your account in a secure environment and check the cause of this odd behavior. They can also perform other troubleshooting steps if necessary.

Here's how to reach them:

In QBO, click the Help (question mark) icon.
Select a suggested option, or type a question or topic you need help with.
Tick Contact Us and choose a way to connect with us.

In case you encounter some errors in your QBO mobile app, please check out this article for the steps to fix them: Fix common errors in the QuickBooks Online mobile app.

I also recommend visiting our website for more tips and other resources you can use in the future: Self-help articles.

Let me know in the comment section below if you have follow-up questions about this or anything else. I'm more than willing to assist. Stay safe.

I understand that having issues with your transactions can be challenging. Let's work together to troubleshoot the problem and get you back on track as smoothly as possible, @Menco.

Troubleshooting the app to remove excess data that's causing issues and slowing down the phone's performance. Depending on your device, you can refer to the steps below.

For Android:

Open the QBO app and click the Menu ☰.
Tap More Options ⋮, then select Settings.
Pick Refresh Data and YES to confirm.

For iOS:

In your device's Settings, choose General.
Select iPhone Storage, then the QBO app.
Click the Offload App to free up storage space without deleting your app's documents and data.
Return to your Home Screen, then locate and tap the app icon to reactivate it.

If problems continue, consider uninstalling and reinstalling the software to clear all associated data and refresh the system.

We are always ready with information and resources to address questions about QBO, especially regarding mobile performance. Post in this thread, and we'll respond quickly.

I am A 25 years experience, computer technician with the latest iPhone Pro Max, and even though I refreshed the data and uninstalled and reinstalled the application I still get delays when opening QuickBooks. Kinda looks bad in front of my clients when I try to explain them how long it takes for QuickBooks to open so I can do the invoice.
