FreshBooks is a fantastic invoice/announcing service I’ve been using for years, and the official Android app was released today in Google Play. If you haven’t heard of FreshBooks, then you obviously haven’t done much freelance work. The service is free for a limited number of clients and charges a small rate for managing more. It can help you itemize, send monthly statements, etc.

Whether you’re tracking time from the coffee shop, capturing expenses in the back of a cab or sending an invoice right from a client’s office, FreshBooks for Android will help you tap your way to getting it all done.”
