## What is Chrome River SNAP?

Managing paper expense receipts during a business trip can be a hassle and can slow down expense report creation and submission. Chrome River now offers Chrome River SNAP - an optional app for business travelers to eliminate the need to keep a stack of paper receipts and decrease the amount of time necessary to create an expense report later.


With Chrome River SNAP, you can:

  • Capture and upload receipt images as expenses occur. Images will be uploaded to the Chrome River EXPENSE Receipt Gallery
  • Share existing receipt images from your smartphone's photo gallery app or third-party photo apps
  • Separate your business from your personal life.  Images taken with Chrome River SNAP are uploaded to the EXPENSE Receipt Gallery and are not saved to your personal photo library.


Here's how Chrome River SNAP works:

  • Simply take a photo of a receipt using the Chrome River SNAP app and upload!
  • Share an existing receipt image, open the image in any photo gallery app and tap the "share" icon and look for the CR SNAP icon to upload your image to the EXPENSE Receipt Gallery. 
  • Go to the Upload Gallery to review all the pending and successfully uploaded receipts sent from your device.


Notes:
This is a standalone utility app for capturing and uploading receipt images. To create and submit expense reports using the receipt images captured and uploaded automatically by this utility app, users should log into the Chrome River web app.


CAN I USE THIS APP WITHOUT AN INTERNET CONNECTION?
Yes!  Whether you have an internet connection or not, you will be able to use Chrome River SNAP. There may be times when an internet connection is temporarily unavailable and in this case, the image will remain in Chrome River SNAP until you are in a location with a stronger connection, and it is then uploaded. We encourage you to not close the app until a green check mark has been designated to a photo, indicating that the photo has been successfully uploaded to Chrome River EXPENSE.

### 1/5 — Works when it decides to

*2025-09-19, version 3.0.15*

I uploaded 25 receipts and it did not sync to my online profile, I wouldn’t do this to my employees - I am editing this to report this is still happening I hate this app

### 1/5 — Completely unreliable

*2025-09-08, version 3.0.15*

Every time I use this app it shuts off half way through uploading the receipt. I’m better off going to the office and scanning receipts on the printer.

### 2/5 — Can’t Orient Receipt Photos

*2025-08-22, version 3.0.15*

App works fine with the exception that it can’t capture pictures of receipt in the right orientation. 😬

### 1/5 — 最低のアプリ

*2025-08-08, version 3.0.15*

使いにくい。写真撮ってもアップロードされない。上下も判別しない。

### 1/5 — Works when it decides to

*2025-06-19, version 3.0.15*

I uploaded 25 receipts and it did not sync to my online profile, I wouldn’t do this to my employees

### 1/5 — Very unreliable

*2025-03-04, version 3.0.15*

Hit n miss, about half of my recipes don’t attach to the expense it supposed to attach to. Don’t bother with the app!

### 3/5 — Its meh.

*2024-11-01, version 3.0.15*

It works most of the time. Othertimes it won't work. I wish they would focus on making the app lightweight and faster. The animations move to slow and are obnoxious

### 1/5 — すぐアプリが落ちる

*2024-10-02, version 3.0.15*

写真を撮って保存しようとするとアプリが落ちるし、写真も逆さまに写る

### 1/5 — Awful on Multiple Levels

*2024-05-31, version 3.0.15*

This app is atrocious. 

Doesn't retain receipts half the time, and forces you to download and re-upload. 

The app won't record what card the charge went to, so stores it as a personal expense to get reimbursed when it was charged to my company card. 

Doesn't accurately record the amount on a receipt so it doesn't matchup when doing expenses.

One of the worst apps I have ever used, as it creates many more headaches than it solves.

### 1/5 — Horrible!!

*2024-02-19, version 3.0.13*

I wish I could rate this differently.  However, I am unable to use it because the app will not send a verification message to my registered email.  You can’t use the app until this step is completed.  There is also no resource available to reach out to for assistance.  Horrible app!
