I'd love CM to be on the Ipad and use it for quotes, but you could use a MacBook running a programme that let's you run windows software.

Wynne I've just downloaded invoice2go as a free trial they do it as an Ipad app, I'm looking into doing quotes with it and then emailing it direct to the customer while in the home.  commercial quotes would look very professional doing this and it help you collect email address

if the customer has a wifi printer you could send it direct to their printer

Invoice2go:

is that the full version on the ipad, or just the mobile version?  From what I could see on the website you can only download the full version on windows, unless I've missed something?

Also, are you able to schedule jobs/appointments on it?

Antony looking at your past posts some revolve around subjects that involve software similar to one you sell, this is coming very close to breaching CIU rules on advertising ( unless you have approached the site owners and have permission) its OK to give advice and participate in the forum but using it as a free platform to sell your software in a no-no.

this policy is to be fair to all companies who would like to use CIU to sell products. :-* :-*

And brian, don't discount C/M i  think kev would have made it usable on a Mac

Sorry Mike - I didn't mean to breach it.  I've been using forums for years for personal life as well as professional life and appreciate why the rules are there. 

I will endeavour to seek out other topics in the future, and will read the rules more closely to ensure that if I do post about topics involving software similar to mine it either does not breach the rules, or I will stay out of the conversation.

cleaners mate is a great pice of software but the only way it can be used on a mac is to either run parrells or bootcamp on your mac as this will enable you to run a windows programme which is the only programme that will run cm

i personnaly have bootcamp on my my mac which works great and allows me to have cm

mike
please let us know how you get on with invoice2go as it sounds very good
