User reviews

Users find the Australian Taxation Office app unstable and poorly designed, frequently crashing and causing login issues, especially with two-factor authentication. The MyDeductions feature is limited, only allowing photo uploads of receipts and lacking important functionalities. Backup and restore options are unreliable, leading to frustration over lost data. The app often redirects users to the website, detracting from convenience. However, some users value it as a free tool to track expenses and tax info on the go, appreciating its basic utility despite its many flaws.

Pros

App is useful for keeping track of some tax details and deductions on the go.
Free, government-provided alternative to subscription-based expense tracking apps.
Some users find the interface straightforward and decent to use.
App assists in consolidating receipts electronically, which can prevent loss of paper receipts.
Backup feature allows saving data to Google Drive.

Cons

App often crashes or is unstable, causing frequent logouts and lost data.
Logging in is problematic, with login loops especially due to two-factor authentication issues.
MyDeductions section is poorly designed and limited, only allowing photo uploads and lacking document (PDF) support.
Backup and restore functions are unreliable or fail, resulting in data loss.
App often redirects users to the ATO website unexpectedly, making it inconvenient.
Poor design, slow loading times, and outdated user interface make app frustrating to use.
Lack of important features like search function, better category options, dark mode, and receipt scanning capabilities.
Connectivity issues persist, with the app sometimes failing to connect over WiFi but working on mobile data.
Users cannot manage vehicle or expense records effectively, e.g., unable to delete sold vehicles.

This app is absolutely terrible. I installed him the first time and the app doesn't even load even though I've got everything linked to the ATO. I've uninstalled it. Reinstalled. It cleared the cache everything and still doesn't work. Absolutely terrible junk

Well, if there was a prize for the most useless app on the playstore, this app would win hands down. What is the point of using this app if it just connects you to the ATO Web site. Just friggen go to the ATO Web site in the first place. I really think that the ATO asked a six year old to develop an app, and this is what he came up with. However, it doesn't have ads, which I guess is a good thing, seeing it doesn't do anything else. It lasted about ten minutes on my phone. What a waste of 10 min
