Didn’t work out for me…..
I purchased this app because of the good reviews it had received as it seemed many people moved from Wave to this. My experience has been below average. The apps character recognition doesn’t work very well at all. It also incorrectly calculates the total amount in every receipt. Perhaps I am doing something wrong but the aim for me was to be able to scan a receipt, and forget about it. I don’t scan many receipts, I only want to scan receipts for big ticket items so a little disappointed honestly. I’ll be looking to export all my receipts all over again and fine yet another way to track my big ticket item receipts :/ *Update* I have found a much better alternative and cut my losses with this app.

Sorry for scan issues… could you please forward your receipts to support@foreceipt.com so that our team could have a look at those receipts to see if there are anything wrong. Thanks
GREAT !
This has been the best investment for me. I get to categorize and organize everything in one spot. Tag it, write notes, create budgets per category, everything! It’s so easy and i manage multiple accounts (7 accounts currently)
I use the website a lot to upload bank statements- it’s tedious Bc it doesn’t directly sync to your bank account but I’ve gotten the hang of it and just deal with it Bc quickbooks just wasn’t doing it for me.

Tracks my receipts with ease
I was using ScanSnap Home with a Fujitsu scanner to track receipts. But that has really been a chore, especially after they rewrote the software, stripping many needed features. No iOS version is planned so I decided to look elsewhere as I need portability. I evaluated many different apps (Quickbooks Mobile , Expensify, etc) and decided on Foreceipt. It’s not perfect, (OCR needs work) but my workflow to track receipts is greatly simplified. I especially like receipts emailed to a special Foreceipt email address ( I purchase a lot from Lowe’s and Home Depot) are easily processed. Auto cropping paper receipts removes a lot of the guesswork when processing receipts. I get a great running total of my expenses and the PDF and Excel spreadsheet features work great. Data is stored on Amazon’s servers but I still keep my paper copies.
Support during my evaluation period, 3 weeks, was good but there were times when answers to questions concerning program operations took a few days. But support for when data hiccups occurred (twice) was very prompt and quickly addressed with no data loss.
The trial period is very generous, allowing premium features so you can really get a feel of how useful this app can be. Do what I did and give it a try. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Life saver!
Since my encounter with the IRA a few years ago, I was encouraged by my replacement CPA to save my receipts in a shoe box for about 5 years. I’ve done that since. At least till a year ago. The problem with the receipts is the ink fade-away over time. Since finding Foreceipt I was reluctant and optimistic at the same time, but nonetheless gave it a try. Today I’m glad I did. Having digital receipt copies today is priceless. I would however like to see an improvement and functional budget feature in terms of recurring bills and also selected category sum.

No obvious customer service
I have been using this app for a few years to help with taxes. I have been having trouble with the app, “error -10” and my receipts are not uploading (the attachment is in red) and both the software and my iOS is up-to-date. I went online to try to get information and could not find any, so I tried the contact customer service and it forwarded me to a not secure external site. When you click on customer support, it links you to a feedback page and not a standard customer service page. You have to really search the page for what looks like a proper support email address. I found it under “how to write a review in App Store and earn free package”. So in other words, they will freely give you a free subscription if you give good feedback, but not help others who have problems when they pay for a subscription.

This app should seriously have it’s own holiday..Thanksgiving
I rarely write reviews but this app deserves a 20 minute standing ovation AND the kind of clapping that makes your hands hurt (yes it’s that good) so this is the least I can do! GET THE APP!
No more boxes of receipts and digging around in my purse, wallet, console, (even went through the trash before) looking for a certain receipt s as t tax time or when my girls say they need to return something I bought for them.
I can NOT tell you enough how much EASIER this app makes my life! You simply take a photo and it reads the information itself! You can create files. I’m an avid gardener so I’ve got my lawn and garden file. As a salon owner I’ve got individual files for salon supplies ...and being a single mom with 3 teens (2 in college & 1 in out of state military school) I’ve got files for each kid.. each of our vehicles etc. no more receipts out the wazoo! Yay! Thanksgiving honors go to .... 🥁🥁🥁 Foreceipt!!

Thanks so much for your review! This is why we are working hard each and every day!
WoW
So far so really good. Have just started using it and cannot fault it

None of the expense categories suit me for what I need. Maybe I have the wrong app for tracking receipts for my small business but there is only 4 subcategories for business and none are really helpful. Would be so good to add your own categories to make it streamlined and personalised so you can use the app for what you need. Home budget would work well but definitely not for a business.

Great resource! Could use some updates
I would give this a five star review if it was easier to edit the categories. You currently can only access the editing of them on the Foreceipt website. Once you enter the category you can’t drag and drop the order, you have to slowly click it up section by section. For people who have a lot of categories it can take hours to update. I hope they update this soon. Then it would be indispensable!

Beware their customer “service”...
This app has been a mainstay of my tax preparation for years. Unfortunately it failed spectacularly this year and I had to reach out for assistance. Their customer service is about the most useless service I’ve seen in years. I tell them the app isn’t syncing so I can’t generate a report, they tell me to generate a report from the website. I tell them that I fixed the issue by deleting the app and starting again, they tell me 5days later they checked my app and the receipts are there. Well duh of course they are cos I told you I started again!
Don’t rely on this app, or that they’ll help you when it fails!
