Lots of good things, BUT

Lots to admire here, but one glitch that I find causes so much irritation that I’m on the verge of ditching the app... if you do all your accounts on the go, the add date option works fine, but if like me you go back to fill things in at the end of the year, EVERY time your phone screen goes off, you then have to scroll back manually through every month to get back to where you were. Would be amazing if the developers could get a quicker shortcut to return to previous dates...

Terrific app for tracking expenses

This app works great and automatically tracks you when you drive your car. This is indispensable when you use your car for personal use or for business use. You can keep track of who you went to see and you can write a note about the reason for the visit. You can export your data logs to pdf. There's a whole lot more this app can do, I haven't tried them all yet.

Best expense app ever!

Have been using this app since 2014! It is very easy to set up, easy to enter all expense information, numerous ways to sort all your data & gives you an up to date picture of your expenses. This app is essential for anyone trying to live within a budget. You can’t go wrong in using it! There are many extra features which I don’t use because I don’t have my own business or have out of pocket expenses connected with my job. But I can see how these would be helpful for year end info for doing your taxes.

Don’t Buy an App You Can’t Try FIRST

The interface is very confusing and difficult to navigate when your moving at a fast pace (and when you’re sitting down focused on entering data). Also, my receipts copy and crop well inside the app but when they’re exported, they arrive in the email inbox looking like illegible black rectangles. So, that feature is not really even useful if you’re planning to report expenses.

Automatic mileage tracking is not an “optional feature” of this app, it’s a subscription based feature in addition to the app purchase. The wording is shady in the app description and frankly, I’m sorry I paid any money for this app because I won’t be using it.

It is really just too difficult to navigate. It’s a great concept, but not well-executed. Lesson learned. DON’T BUY BEFORE YOU TRY.

Response from developer

Kirsten, I am sorry you think the interface is confusing. Typically when I hear this it is because the user does not understand the app's use of Logs. Logs are simply folders which are used to help organize your expenses. Once a log is created you can then add expenses to that log. Once customers understand this they love the app because of its flexibility and ease of use. Honest! With regards to the black rectangles in the report. I urge you to contact me directly. Please go into the Prefs screen within the app and tap "Email the Author." I believe what you are experiencing is very easily resovled by changing one of the output settings in the app. Now with regards to your comments on mileage tracking I must say I think you are being very disingenuous. The app clearly states that the AutoTrack feature is an optional subscription. In fact Apple is VERY strict with statements made in the app description concerning subscriptions. The app does however have FIVE different ways to track mileage that are included in the app. One of these methods uses GPS the same way AutoTrack does but you simply need to tell the app when you start your drive and when you end. For FULLY automatic mileage tracking an AutoTrack subscription is necessary. Our app actually charges less for this feature than our nearest competitors. Other apps offerring similiar capability all charge. This is a VERY advanced feature and requires precise engineering. You mention that the app is a good concept but not well-executed. The app has been around since 2009, and was introduced just one year after the App Store opened. XpenseTracker continually over the years has been enhanced and refined. It consistently ranks very high in its category. It even in the past has won "App of the Week" by the App Store. I really hope you give it a second chance. I also really do hope you reach out to me so I can help with the issue you are having with printing your receipts.

Add ons reminders make me nut

Even those I paid for the app and went the add ons reminder I choose no thanks, it keep popping up 3 to 5 times a day. The second time, I mark the option " not show me this again" and it keep showing up more and more. This situation make me nut. Its ridiculous. If someone not interested in the others add ons you offered, the program should understand that and respect the decision. If someone decide later, then he/she will go to the menu and buy them. Gosh! Those pop up reminders are annoying!!!

The best app on my phone

I have been using this app for years on a basic level. That is using the templates already installed. They are great. I recently changed jobs and they have strict reporting requirements. Scott has helped me in a timely manner with any questions I have had building a custom report. His directions are crystal clear and if I can follow them anyone can. I can’t express how much time this app saves me when doing expense reports. Thanks to Scott’s help I have gotten approval to use use this with my new company.

Costumer support is important and I guarantee you that Scott will not let you down.

Thank you Scott

Best Expense App

This is the best, most extensive, easiest to use expensing app I've run across. Reports are easy to make by emailing to myself and putting into excel. Finishing a trip's expenses takes only about 10 minutes. There are a few minor bugs but I've contact the developer - he's responsive, kind, concerned and fixes things when asked. Great support; great software.

Still the best darn app for tracking expenses. I can’t imagine living without it. Thank you!!!

Brilliant App

After trying other apps, this application is everything I have been looking for in an expense tracker for my personal expenses. Plus the developer is very responsive to inquiries. Could not ask for more in an application and it’s support.

New template just because I asked!

I don't normally write reviews but I can't get through my life without this app. Dramatic, right? No, seriously, I love this app. It has organized my life and my spending. I needed to print a report with my medical and transportation expenses but my transportation was via personal vehicle which is calculated by mileage and I also used car services and public transportation. There wasn't a template that fitted my needs so I wrote to the app creator. Scott responded right away and had me clarify what I needed. Instead of saying no can do. He created a template that made it work for me in just a few days. You can't get better customer service and it's directly from the app creator. Thanks again, Scott!!!
