Review summary

Users praise easy receipt capture, time-saving organization, and a usable free tier with exportable reports, but data loss, unreliable syncing, gated features with ads, scanning reliability issues, and privacy concerns undermine reliability.
Pros
  • Easy receipt capture with auto-cropping
  • Saves time and simplifies tax prep
  • Free/basic tier offers essential features
  • Clean, simple, user-friendly interface
  • Ability to create multiple reports and export PDFs or email reports
Cons
  • Data loss and unreliable syncing across devices and after updates
  • Subscription-based feature gating and unclear plan differences; OCR available only with paid tier; price increases; ads
  • Intrusive ads disrupt usage and sometimes redirect to the App Store
  • Scanning accuracy issues and manual-entry burden; not always intuitive
  • Privacy concerns about photo access requiring full access and data privacy considerations

2026-06-16 fr***** The only problem is you can’t use the app to register your incomes and see a comparación between months expenses, must of the apps really don’t have the photo option and this one does have it but unfortunately is not like for personal finances if you don’t have income option

2026-06-03 tt***** The basic free version used to be fantastic if you just needed an easy way to compile receipts into one pdf. With every update they continue to degrade the free option, make it less user friendly, and try to push you into a subscription. I would have considered subscribing if I needed more features, but now I’ll switch to a different app completely rather than pay them a dime. Such a sleazy business strategy to make the free version worse and worse rather than improve the paid version to get more subscribers.

2026-05-10 sl***** This was very helpful until my phone was stolen. I reinstalled the app on the new phone but it doesn’t show any of my receipts. Now everything is lost

2026-04-20 Do***** I'm deleting the app. After 4 years of using it, I accidentally updated the app and it's completely useless now and they deleted all my pictures of receipts I had for the past two months.

2026-04-07 We***** Perfect for logging physical receipts for my small biz. I don’t need to pay for it as the basic features are enough for me. If you have a lot of receipts, you may want to pay for the upgraded features.

2026-03-26 Ch***** Was exciting to try this out. Realized you’d have to manually put in every single information, or pay $99/yr for OCR extraction🙄. Better just put your data in excel rather than downloading the app and allow them track your activity and resell it 😊

2026-03-13 Bi***** I can’t get information about the product, the differences in the plans, etc. I can see several subscription offers. What’s the difference? Can’t find that info. Tried finding out more on my Mac, since that’s an easier interface for sending email. Entered a support ticket in their interface, which I can access without logging in. I should say tried to enter as after I typed up the questions I was told I was blocked. So, with so many unknowns, I cancelled the free trial. Again, it looks like the product I want. But so many questions, and so few answers. I don’t mind paying for a product if it meets my needs. But can’t tell if it does or doesn’t.
