I love using Solo on my phone, but sometimes I wish I could access Solo from my laptop or a web browser too. It would make things so much easier—especially when I’m at my desk and want a bigger screen work with.
Agreed, whilst mostly mobile would be handy when need to do reporting or working on other tablet devices.
I agree. I like to see things on a bigger screen so would LOVE this option
Yep, Need desktop aswell. Mobile is limited and not great
Need a web browser option. Much easier
I would like to see it in a browser. Definitely easier with the way I do business.
The mobile app is really good, but the option to view on browser/desktop as well would be great.
I just switched to Thriday as they have a web/desktop version. I can't believe in 2025 that MYOB doesn't support this.
Just joined and having access to perform all tasks via a web browser is a big must. I didn't' even know this product was mobile app-only which is a little disappointing.
Trying to record payment on the app is a nightmare. This product is hard to use and making me regret leaving xero
100% needs browser access.
Yeah I didn't realise it couldn't be used on the laptop. Should have checked it out more diligently. Only signed up today.
This would be awesome as I have solo and business lite be much easier to have the one linked
Disappointed to have spent time signing up to only realise Solo does not work on desktop browser. Pretty pointless.
So many of my invoices are emailed to me and my business is driven almost entirely from my MacBook. It's essential to be able to add files instead of just photos for invoices on the app and it would be handy to be able to access the system via a browser...
Just purchased solo, looks great. Disappointed that you can't access from the laptop. Hopefully that will change, I don't want to look for another program.
App looks and feels great will make my life easier but been limited only to the phone was a bit disappointing would love to be able to use my larger computer screen when at home at the desk.
I would also love to be able to choose desktop… I hate being on my phone all the time! And I hate my daughters seeing me on my phone all the time…. But I have to work, right? Also, My back and neck hate me being in the phone all the time… I think we’re all going to develop hunch backs!! 😅 It’s handy to have on the go for sure, but being able to use it on the desk top too means that I would be able to divide my time a bit easier and create a work life balance. I understand the bigger business packages have the desktop option, but my small business just doesn’t warrant that, the solo experience and offering is perfect for where I am in my small business journey, but I do think having the ability to use it on the desk too would definitely create - or give the chance to create - a more balanced life and be better on the neck and shoulders!!! thanks ☺️
I agree, entering contact details on a web browser or desktop would be much faster and easier... I even tried an Android emulator on my laptop but it did not work...
I bought SOLO knowing it's a mobile app, however, I need it on my desktop, and won't start using it until this is possible.
Definitely needs a desktop addition!
App is handy on the go, but can do so much more on the computer when you are back in the office!
G’day Solmates!Just a quick status update on this one — it’s officially on the shortlist for 2026!
We don’t have a timeline just yet, but we’ll be shouting it from the rooftops once official work begins. Until then, keep the comments and votes coming, because we absolutely want your suggestions in the mix to help us develop the right tools for our Solmates.
MYOB SOLO is a ripper idea and bloomin' handy when you're out and about, but let's not pretend we all want to live life through a phone screen. This needs to be on desktop and mobile. There's something oddly satisfying about getting home, firing up the laptop, and squaring away the day's numbers. Phone goes on charge, brain goes into admin mode.
Plus, laptop time is shareable time. It's how you show your teenager the basics of accounting without their eyes glazing over, or sit at the table while a little one colours in beside you, hands you invoices, or "helps" scan receipts. That's peak Aussie work-life balance right there. Being stuck on a phone isolates you. A laptop invites you back into the room. We're Aussies, you're Aussie (well, sorta, I know US company KKR owns MYOB now), but let SOLO work the way we actually live and work, not just on the run.
Thanks @Sigrid-Solo for the update and I absolutely reflect the comments about the need (not nice to have) for a browser version. Sadly, even on a Chromebook the CX is sub-optimal and glad to here it's made the dev-ops list. There'll be another four customers for you when the browser version is released.
I just got Solo and was stoked until i realised I can't use it on my desktop!! So frustrating. I don't want to use my phone. Glad to know it's on the shortlist for 2026 but let's get it hustling.
Would solo work on Bluestacks or another android emulator by chance on laptop, so that its still in android os
same
Hey @Gonefishn Solo was built for your smartphone, so you'll get the best Solmate experience if you stick with your phone.
Accessing solo on the desktop or laptop would pop the cherry on top for us, much faster to input information and create quotes (yes i've voted for that too!) and invoices
Yep! Would love solo on the Mac or PC! So I can use app during the day, Mac when I get home.
hey @MissJ1712 , Thanks so much for your feedback, really appreciate you taking the time to share it.
I don’t have any further updates at the moment, but I can confirm this is on the list and on the team’s radar.Thanks,
Hannah
Hi Sigrid Solo, it’s now May 2026. Just wondering if there has been any progress on the desktop development? Keen for it
Hey @Ransoffice09, so glad to hear you're excited as we are! While we've got no firm updates to share just yet, our teams are always hard at work on the next generation of Solo features and enhancements.By interacting with this post, you'll receive updates on this post when we get closer to showtime. You'll be among the first to know, how cool is that? 😎
It has some of the worst UX and UI design I have seen in an app. This is coming from a senior software engineer and designer.There is no real reason why the app cannot be accessed in the browser, it is React Native.Possibly the worst experience is being timed out of a session whilst mid-invoice creation, losing every single line item, there is no reason for this. For some invoices, there are so many line items assigned to tickets, it is tiresome using the phone to add these.The difficulty in accessing subscription pricing and altering the current subscription is a deliberate anti-pattern not possible within the app but only online, hidden amongst deep menuing.To find existing unpaid invoices, or alter saved invoices requires "money in" -> "view all income" -> tapping on an invoice. These invoices should be front and center on the home page.Edited, open invoices should be automatically saved as a draft once line items are entered, there is no sane reason for an invoice in progress to not be a draft.
definitely need solo on desktop... I'm actually going to swap back to my old platform because being mobile only is so tedious. also, my VA wont be able to access so its really tiresome .... sigh knew there had to be a catch lol
Hi @mazdoesmktng !
Your feedback caught our attention, and we'd love to hear a bit more from you! Especially regarding access for your VA, am I safe to assume that's your Virtual Assistant? 👀️
We will follow up with you directly via email to make sure we get all the details and see if we can help you get the most out of Solo 😃
I agree 100% usually a desk top / browser version Historicaly was brought to the users ahead of a mobile version, but in this case it has been the other way around perhaps to meet MYOB customers who may be primarily on their mobile. I for one will not use the mobile version unless the desktop version/ browser version replicates the mobile functionality. Shame, i was so looking forward to using Solo on my desktop browser (
I have only been running Solo for 6 weeks and it seems fine enough. However I want to see where I stand profit wise for this tax year and when I download a statement on my phone it goes nowhere. It seems I can't access on desktop or browser so this seems totally counter intuitive. I thought the whole idea of Solo was to make tax time easy but if I can't download a statement how can I do anything? The quick view on home page of the app is so far out of whack as it count several payments twice to I have no idea if I am running a profit this financial year
Hey @handiestman,
Thanks for reaching out.
If you're registered for GST, you can head to More → Reports in the Solo app. You'll see four report options available:
When you open a report, you'll have the option to either Open the report first or Share it directly.
If you're having trouble finding where the file is downloading on your phone, try opening the report and then using the Share option to email it to yourself. This can make it much easier to access the report on another device and keep a copy for your records.
In terms of the payments appearing to be counted twice, this could potentially be related to the bank feed. We'd be happy to take a closer look and see what's happening.
You can reach out to us directly through the app by heading to More → Chat to Us, and one of the team can investigate this further for you.
If you have any other questions, just let us know 🙂
I've tried it with Bluestacks, Waydroid and Android Studio. Unfortunately it's blocked on all - likely because it has access to bank accounts and detects these as 'unlocked' devices.
Best workaround appears to be a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse, and adb or Rustdesk as the viewer. (it crashes when using adb keyboard.)
Keeping a dedicated old phone listening on Rustdesk might be the safest workaround for now, but hopefully they bring a desktop version of sorts. I just hope they don't raise the price too much in the process.
Hey @CCCMikey2,
Thanks for looking into this.
Unfortunately, we do know that running Solo through emulators or virtual environments isn't currently supported. Because Solo has access to banking and payment features, we don't allow jailbroken or otherwise unsecured devices, which is most likely what's causing these environments to be blocked.
I can definitely see the appeal of a desktop option, though, and I appreciate you sharing the workarounds you've tested. I'll make sure the feedback is passed on to the team.
