Questionable
I cant really find the per dollar value in this app. I think eventually this should be included in the purchase of desktop software. Also I believe I would actually try integrating it into my business practice if it was in the range of $3.99-7.99 per month. Remember when intuit used to try and charge us to export in PDF format. I think this is somewhat the same story.

Rest easy because your hardware can't hurt you.
I've used QuickBooks Online for years and been pleased with the results. Moved to the onlline version from the desktop after experiencing a harddrive crash and having to re-enter hundreds of transactions. I did a back up, spent a day on billing and invoicing, and then the drive died! I no longer worry about data loss and having to recreate my work. I've done billing from Texas, California, Hawaii, Utah, Minnesota, Oregon and Nevada without a hitch. Not as feature rich as the desktop version.

Report type users see paychecks online
Having suffered through many other accounting packages (most recently MYOB), QB seems very easy to use after a week or so doing basic setup tasks.
However, we (want to) share base financials with experienced staff. If you try to share basic financial reports with QB Online, you will also be publishing their paychecks. Ouch, ouch, OUCH. Completely torpedos the utility of different user types. Pretty sure you don't want everyone to be an admin of your company.
If you don't care about sharing financials, this is not likely to be an issue for you, but catastrophic for us. I hear the Pro version got this right, so it is particularly odd that they screwed up the online version.
Also, if you decide to upgrade later to a different version, I am told you can NOT move transactions (e.g, to Enterprise).

So far, so good
I've been impressed with the UI and feel so far. What I also like is the fact that they publish to their blog on a regular basis and quick access to other apps using the blue dot.

The best thing for Non-Accountant guys
I had business for which I tried logging into QB desktop version for 4 years and never got into without help. I lost a lot business because of that. I tried QB online and its HEAVENLY. Expensive but Heavenly.
Intuit should think about: $500/year. Its a lot of money for small businesses. I would still use it as it dont see anything better in the market

From Quickbooks for Mac to QB Online
I had a lot of doubts when one of my clients asked me to try QB Online; nightmares of slow, clunky tools, getting lost in a maze of links and a smaller window kept me from making the move.
Thankfully I took the plunge after getting a tour of it and I'm really liking it so far. Integration with other tools (my favs noted below) is certainly a unique advantage to moving my clients' books online, and they appreciate not having any monthly backups to maintain. Best thing is that I can work with either Windows or Mac clients, no more switching back and forth.
I haven't seen any of the outages others have reported as yet, and will update my review if that happens.

3 years now
For the life of me I cannot figure out what most of the previous reviewers are speaking about. We have never been down, never lost data (account checks) and value of product is terrific. I run a service business with several techs that are all mobile. My vehicles all have laptops, printers and they carry smart phones. In 3 years we have never experienced a connection problem or sync issue. Features are useful and plentiful. I am very satisfied with this product. This is not Burger King, if you want every little thing your way go hire a programmer and custom build one. If you want a great product that is more than reasonably priced then sign up for this one.
