"About us" should really be.... about you, not some strange mix of "features" and "technology". Given the number short-lived web apps that appear and disappear, the about us page is becoming one of the most important. Any "about us" that doesn't mention people is an immediate close for me.

I actually agree to this. Gaining the trust of the user is pretty critical now a days.

The question I ask my self when I visit a web app is "Why should I give you my information and what will you do with it?

@hillelcoren would be nice to get a BCC of invoice emails. As is, I do not know how the payment integration presents itself.

Service is otherwise easy to use and looks nice.

This is good feedback, thank you!

Expect an "About the Invoice Ninja Team" page soon.

For now... here's a link to my blog http://hillelcoren.com/. I've been building apps for a while now and stand 100% behind anything I create. This project is team affair though.

I realize trust is earned and I hope we're given the chance to earn it.

Edit: added 'to' (grammar mistakes kill me)

"100% FREE, ALWAYS" What's the catch? How are they going to make money? Harvest invoice data? Really the only reason I use Freshbooks is for the 50-cent Paypal invoices but I first create an actual PDF invoice in OpenOffice.

I agree with you. Invoicing is pretty sensitive, I need to feel that the service is going to stay for a while and will not back-stab me somehow.

You should charge something for this. Even if you charged $10/year, it at least gives the impression that there is a contract and agreement in place that you will maintain the service and protect and provide the service. I have no interest, personally, in entering a bunch of invoice data in a service that might get shut down in a year after the developers lose interest in maintaining something that they lose money on.

I love how you've taken the friction out of the signup process and the preview is great. However I can't use it as because I have the following text on my invoices:

1) In Canada you must include your GST# (looks like "55555 5555 RT001")

2) My business address, consultant contact name/email

3) Payment instructions (doesn't quite fit under terms, i.e. Checks payable to, or Wire Transfer / SWIFT code)

4) Ability to add additional billing information (i.e. one of the big companies requires department, a service agreement # and company contact under the "Bill To:")

5) Canadian dollar currency :)
