  • Useless

    Wasn’t accepted in Sydney. You can spend all the time you’d like to enter in your receipts here one by one ahead of time and obtain a QR code, only to told upon arriving at TRS that it won’t be accepted and you’ll just end up filling out manual paper forms.
  • Bugs fixed

    Whatever bugs there were, there aren’t anymore. I’m from the states and I downloaded this yesterday and used today. Super user friendly and self explanatory. I had no problem pulling up my QR code for the TRS agent at the airport.
  • Load invoices

    App is easy to use. Why isn’t there an option to upload electronic invoices?
  • Not perfect, but it works

    Managed to fill in my details pretty easily. No crashes. Not great experience but it works.
  • No Problems

    App worked perfectly. My refund took <1min for the staff at the airport to process since used this app beforehand!
  • Works very well, no issues at all

    There were no issues at all, and the process is quite intuitive. :)
  • Please clarify address requirement for over $1000

    This app is actually fine. But in case anyone reads this can I strongly suggest two things:

    1) The app warns that an address is needed, but it doesn’t say if that’s your home address abroad, or the place you stayed while in Australia. In any case, the agents at Sydney airport said it wasn’t necessary anymore - so please can you check and make sure this is clear in app?

    2) Sydney airport wasn’t actually asking for the QR code, nor did they have a special queue for people with the QR code. So this obviates the entire aim of saving time. It was taking about 10 mins per passenger, and with only three agents there was a huge queue already at 8am.

  • Useless. Keep crashing all the time

    cannot even enter the invoice details. I remember last year I‘ve already experienced a lot of difficulties entering the details. One year passed, and nothing changed. Still many crashes. So useless...
  • Totally user unfriendly App

    Tried to use this APP today in the fond hope that it would speed up our claim when we fly out on Thursday. After trying for around 10 minutes to fill the different pages out (it seems you have to go back after saving each time) and putting the ABN number in two different ways (both incorrect according to the APP) I have given up . Really need to sort this out guys!
