### 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. 😬

### 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

### 4/5 — Cannot share from album - bug

*2023-12-07, version 3.0.12*

I used to be able to share screenshots and pictures from my albums to cr snap but this hasn’t worked for a while now

### 2/5 — Could be improved

*2023-11-29, version 3.0.12*

Worked all week to upload receipt.  But how come there’s no way to write any comment to remember what a cryptic receipt was about? 
really hard to remember at the end of the trip what everything was 

This app is a let down.  It could be so much more

### 1/5 — Blank white screen

*2023-11-10, version 3.0.11*

After entering the official email it just gets stuck in white screen with some message outside the window. Useless and buggy app.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2023-11-10, version 3.0.11*

Opening the app prompts you to verify email address, but when you continue to enter it, the whole screen whites out and does not let you proceed to actually use the app. Would give zero stars if possible.

### 1/5 — Verification page is blank

*2023-11-03, version 3.0.11*

Post installing app the page to enter verification code is blank

### 1/5 — Easy no more

*2023-11-01, version 3.0.11*

App will not send verification email to allow access. Use to work well, but mot presently.

### 1/5 — Pics uneditable

*2023-09-24, version 3.0.9*

Pics arrive in CR in a very inconvenient format, making them almost useless. You can’t crop them when taking pictures, you can’t combine multiple pages in one doc, which is confusing later in chrome river. 
Very good idea for the app, However poorly executed at this stage. Needs further development!!

### 3/5 — Works about 1/3 of the time

*2023-09-19*

When this works, it works great but that’s about 2/3 of the time. Often, when I snap a pic of a receipt it never shows up or it is only a portion of the pic. Literally every time I try to complete a ER I have to go back to my receipt envelope, take another pic of the receipt in question, wait for it to upload and then do it all again. Maddening.

### 1/5 — This app stopped working about a year ago

*2022-11-01, version 3.0.9*

This app stopped working about a year ago. They did some type of update and now you can’t even get into the app. Every time you try to log in to the app, it says it needs a verification code but the app is not sending it. Our company has reported this issue numerous times but it’s still not working and has not worked in a at least a year!

### 1/5 — Cannot browse photo

*2022-09-27, version 3.0.9*

I cannot access to photo library with current version. Used to be possible

### 3/5 — Let me edit after adding information!

*2022-05-28, version 3.0.8*

Pretty simple app. Not a lot to go wrong.
Very convenient to immediately add receipts.

The option to add more info is helpful, but limited. It only lets you add info before uploading.
So there is no way to make a correction to it, or add information after you’ve uploaded.

(And their web app doesn’t even let you add information to any receipts when uploading, so they ought to add the feature there too.)

### 1/5 — Useless, can’t upload

*2022-01-24, version 3.0.7*

While trying to upload receipts, the app keeps logging you off “due to security reason”

### 1/5 — CR Snap on iPhone 12

*2021-12-17, version 3.0.7*

The app unexpectedly closes after about 5 second and is not usable. IOS and the app is up to date.

### 1/5 — Upload too long

*2021-11-11, version 3.0.7*

Been waiting for about an hour to upload one picture to CR. I had 15 expenses to do. Need an improvement…

### 3/5 — Never received the code to continue

*2021-07-18, version 3.0.5*

I downloaded the app a couple of hours ago and still can’t continue on to use it because I never have received the code it supposedly sent to my e-mail address. I’ve been checking my e-mail and SPAM. The code has never arrived. There doesn’t seem to be Support who I can contact for assistance.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 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!

### 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!

### 1/5 — Quit working

*2023-12-13, version 3.0.12*

Was a nice app, but it started failing uploads and keeps repeating uploads, so I have multiple copies now.  Feedback button doesnt work, wants to open a mail app I dont use.

### 1/5 — Since update login not possible

*2023-11-11, version 3.0.11*

Since the app was updated a few weeks ago, the login is not possible.

### 5/5 — Easy to use.

*2021-11-03, version 3.0.7*

Monthly paper receipt handling is so cumbersome - looking forward to paperless handling and submission.  App is simple and connected.

### 5/5 — Simple and easy to use

This app simplifies the process of uploading your receipts to your Chrome Profile! Just download the App, link it to your CR profile and your are all set. Once you have incurred an expense, access SNAP, take a picture of your receipt, and upload it. YES, it’s that simple!
