MYOB INVOICE APP NOT OPENING IN GALAXY S24

MYOB INVOICE App is not opening in Samsung S24. It is crashing everytime. Informed this to MYOB support team several times, as usual NO proper response. 

 

Galaxy S24 series has dropped support for 32-bit apps, and the MYOB invoice app is not yet updated to 64-bit . This means MYOB Invoice App will not work on Samsung S24 mobiles unless the  app developer a update the app to 64-bit which is compatible with the Galaxy S24. (This information I got from Samsung Community Forum).

 

Escalated this to MYOB, not sure when they will fix this. 

 

  • This is unacceptable by MYOB. I decided to go with MYOB when I had my previous galaxy. Now I can't use it remotely with the S24. Keep up MYOB. How many months does it take to fix these things? I will be moving to Xero if not sorted soon - after spending days setting up the MYOB fo my club.

      As per MYOB no time frame to fix this issue..May take years..I am also planning to migrate to Zero..It is waste of money to continue with MYOB when we can't use the App..

    Hi, Sujeev

     

    Thanks for your post.

     

    We understand that technology with different apps is a challenge. We are aware that the MYOB Invoice App is currently incompatible with the Samsung S24 due to its 32-bit architecture and the S24's lack of support for such apps. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to address this issue. We are actively working on updating the MYOB Invoice App to 64-bit compatibility to ensure it functions smoothly on the S24 and other devices with similar requirements.

     

    Best regards,

    Doreen

  • This is a bad look for MYOB.... Google's requirements for 64Bit apps has been known for years (2019)...

    https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/01/get-your-apps-ready-for-64-bit.html

     

    The Gist of the above link is, in January 2019 Google announced these changes, from August 2019 New 32bit only apps were not allowed, From August 2021 Google would stop serving apps without 64 bit versions..

     

    This was not something Google decided to enforce overnight, MYOB Had 2 years to update this app (It's been almost 5 now)... They are only just now looking at updating the app...

     

    While I appreciate MYOB being honest about the cause of the issue (32bit Only), their actions to mitigate and rectify the issue have been poor...

     

    Not a good look at all MYOB...

  • Hi Doreen_P and Sujeev Is there any update re S24 and the issue of MYOB App not working on brand new phone?  We wish the phone company consultant had of known this issue, when we specially spoke about the amount of MYOB we use on phone.  Appreciate any advice you can give. Thank you.

      Hi@Petrie.  It is still the same story..Nothing to do with Phone company..Samsung.MYOB has to upgrade thier App to 32bit from 16 bit. NOW MAJORITY OF THE PHONES SUPPORTING ONLY 32BIT APPS. MYOB not attending this issue even after informing them repteadly. My advice to others is please switch to Zero or Quick Books rather wasting your time with them..No support from MYOB for any issues we report. They only know  to send monthly invoices. 

       

       

       

       

  • Why has MYOB not sorted out this issue???

    How are they so unable to keep up with technology, it does not give you high hopes for its future relevance.

    MYOB's lack of reactive action to this issue really shows just how little they consider customers' issues and how out of touch they are.

    Not a great look for a system that has many competitors that are actually keeping up with technology.

    This system is seemingly going to become obsolete along with what I can only assume is their intended market....

  • Good morning all,
    I wanted to provide an update on the 32-bit app being unsupported on new phones..

    I appreciate that this has been an outstanding issue for many months now and how frustrating this has been.
    Previously, MYOB has not prioritised a solution to this, as we have been working to release a replacement app which would make improvements to the current one redundant.

    However we understand the importance of this (thank you for your ongoing feedback and engagement with this in the forum) and are now working on a resolution.
    I'm not able to provide a timeframe on when this will be solved yet, but I can confirm that the team are now actively working on fixing this.
    Regards, Mike

      "Previously MYOB has not prioritised this issue".. ...many of us were pointing out this issue from several months..MYOB realised now only it is loosing customers due to this issue and many first time users staying away from joining MYOB when there are many accounting softwares which are much advanced, quick in response to cutomer queries and cheaper than MYOB. 

       

      Now also not providing a time frame .(it may be years)....and MYOB is charging customers for an App which is NOT delivering what they promised..MYOB must reimburse the extra charges they are collecting from Android users till it is fixed.

       

      For the attention of new users, MYOB APP WILL NOT WORK IN LATEST ANDROID DEVICES AS IT WILL NOT SUPPORT 16 BIT APPS ANYMORE. MYOB HAS TO UPGRADE THEIR APP, WHICH IS NOT HAPPENING

        Hi Sujeev , I understand that not providing a timeframe is frustrating but your reply is misleading for others who would read it

        MYOB is now actively working to upgrade the app and fix this. It is happening.
        And it wont be years, because as confirmed, it is actively being worked on.

  • Thankyou everyone for your feedback, I thought I was doing something wrong after upgrading to a new phone.

     

    I do all my invoicing & quotes from my phone. There is absolutely no point in paying for this ifbI cannot useit on my phone.

     

    MYOB how is that new app coming along, should I wait or save myself some grief and just cancel my subscription now.

      Hi danaustin1905 , Sujeev , Vass1 , trudy2340 , Petrie , David011 

      Right now I can confirm that our developers have progressed from investigating to having solution work 'in progress'. 
      We are hopeful to be able to release the update in 1-2 weeks, but we cannot commit to a timeframe or date as there are always unknowns that can affect plans.
      Thanks, Mike
