Like so many others, I found this thread looking for a way to turn the business feed off. 

I am beyond frustrated with QBO. I have many customers with inventory and PO's and other features that QBO is not good at handling. 2 of them left QBDT for QBO because QBO sales rep told them it would be fine. It's not. Besides all but threatening customers to drop desktop, many things in QBO just suck.

This business feed is one of them.

The more things they put on pages, the more time the page takes to fully load. I can't tell you how many times I click on the wrong thing as I'm trying to work quickly and efficiently, but the page hasn't finished loading all its stupid crap, and that means that my click was actually in the wrong place as the page continues to load. 

Intuit takes the time to revamp reports which didn't need revamping, and are now more difficult to customize- while ignoring basic functions and/or listening to customer feedback. 

I wish someone would develop a decent replacement priced similarly. I would have all of my clients drop QBDT and QBO in a heartbeat, and I bet I'm not the only one. Intuit, you really should start paying attention to customer feedback. Or when a comparable software is released, you're going to see a mass exodus as we all leave. For those of us who own firms, that also means moving all of our clients as well. You would lose 42 clients by losing me. I believe 14 who pay for an annual subscription for desktop, and the rest on QBO Plus or Advanced. And I'm a small firm...
