They will double charge you and not confirm

This stupid app has been double charging me for a year under two different names. Be aware of this. Also had me paying. For some group plan when I literally just use it for myself. I literally don’t get it. Also the customer service is wonky.

Hi there, please reach out to Concierge who can help you. But our group workspaces are paid, you can downgrade to pay per use and you are free to delete it if you don't use it!

An absolute nightmare

DO NOT use this app if you use Xero. They have a landing page that talks all about how it integrates with Xero. It’s all LIES.

They say that an image of your receipt will be sent to Xero. Nope. They say that it synchs with Xero. Also not true.

To get your information into Xero, you have to create a report. This could include hundreds of receipts. The REPORT is what gets synched to Xero. ALL of your receipts show up as a single bill with multiple line items. You then have to MANUALLY match them to payments.

If you pay for things from multiple accounts, this quickly becomes a nightmare. Oh, and it’s on you to manually add photos.

It’s hard to believe that something could work this badly. Customer support is essentially nonexistent, so I’ve been left trying to navigate this on my own.

Literally choose any other company. Please.

Great tool.

Best expense app. Easy to use and fast.

Not great

First time using it for my business
On paid premium
Buggy and crashed multiple times

Great support from concierge.

I have just started using this app. I am still new to it so I am still figuring out how to use it. I love that the concierge are there to assist you if you are having any difficulties with the app. They are very efficient in replying back to you! I was very very impressed with that as a lot of apps do not have this feature. I personally find this app isn’t that quick and easy to learn so for that I am giving the app 4 starts but like I said I am new with this app and hopefully with the concierge’s support I will be able to learn how to use the app effectively.

Wasted hours.. Buggy and very restrictive.

What a buggy app.. suddenly the date scrolling just disappears.. tried many solutions as directed by the app’s in chat with “concierge”. Well I just wasted hours and $7 monthly sign up. I would not recommend this app. It’s very restrictive to edit and once you submit it to a report you can’t edit or change or edit or go back. It’s gone forever and you are stuck. Exasperated tired and extremely disappointed. Back to good ole manual and excel sheets..

Hi there, thank you for your review. We don't restrict report actions unless they are submitted to your boss for approval through a group workspace. No reports are actually gone forever. It does sound like you have had a poor experience unfortunately.

Too Many Quality of Life Issues Never Resolved

I like Expensify. The reporting and export functions are great. But the scanning and expenses have never really evolved. When will we see filtering in the App? When will we see a setting to choose Expenses as a default when opening, instead of Inbox, which is irrelevant to me? When will we be able to sort by Date Expense uploaded? So many questions.

I wrote this such along time ago, and still no filtering of expenses! Scanning and reporting is still very good, so much potential…

Hi Codevolunt, thanks for leaving a review! There is filtering available in the app, and I'd be happy to talk you through some of your other points, just to make sure I understand! Please write into concierge@expensify.com, making sure to reference your app store user name and we can pick things up from there.

Awful Platform

Absolutely zero customer service

Response from developer

It doesnt break out or cal retail taxes

If its just a scanner app microsoft lens is way more superior. It’s significantly faster to process and goes straight to pdf. This smartlens is super slow only to tell me the amount and vendor which literally takes me 5 more seconds to enter manually.

I struggle with retail taxes and i would like an app that scans and automatically calculate or recognizes retail sales taxes.

Overall i dont find this app to be useful.

Response from developer

Hello and thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on our SmartScan feature. Expensify offers a range of functionalities beyond just scanning, such as advanced automation and receipt tracking, which differentiate us from simple scanner apps. We do not pull out retail sales tax currently, but that is something we could consider adding in the future. Thanks for the feedback!

Political Pressure

About four years ago during the last US Presidential Election, Expensify employees contacted me to pressure me into voting against a presidential candidate. I felt like this was completely inappropriate and a violation of organizational relationship with its customers... regardless of political perspective. Since then I made several attempts to close my account through email and have been met with auto responses... which is troubling since their employees were so eager to have conversation with me on political topics unrelated to their business. After multiple requests to be removed from email subscriptions and to have my account closed, I took it upon myself to close this account through their website per the auto response instructions. I am truly saddened by this because I genuinely feel they have a great product. However, I can no longer trust that this organization will respect me as a customer or a person. This is no longer a safe company to do business with.
