### 1/5 — Useless

*2017-08-27*

Doesnt find all items on bill

### 3/5 — Almost...

*2016-10-28, version 1.3*

The last review was harsh, the scanning worked and produced a bill but a lot of editing was required. With a little more work it could be good, but no quite there.

### 4/5 — Very nice !

*2014-06-07*

Simple, efficient app.  Only thing missing is the ability to add taxes and displaying the calculated tip amount.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work?

*2014-04-09, version 1.2.1*

So I manage to get the app to take a clear picture of my receipt, but then it doesn't managed to recognise individual line items so it's pretty useless
