Works Most of the time

Does a decent job pulling deals you bought within 30 days but it doesn’t pull all of them. The developer is very responsive but haven’t seen them fix anything I have bubbled up for correction. They also just drastically increased the price which will make the product difficult for most people to get a roi out of their service. Great idea but definitely has some kinks for consumers

J’adore cette application

I’m addicted

Price Adjustment

What a great app! It sent me a notification that I had a $4.00 price adjustment and how long I had to claim it. The Gals at Costco were so excited that I showed them the app so they could get it.

Raise price to legacy supporters

Used to be a good app. I was the one of the earliest supporters and it just changed the price to $40/yr.

I rarely go to Costco and had lifetime of $29.60 saved. $40 per year for subscription fee even for early supporters are you crazy?

This is insane and won’t be using it anymore. Small dev becomes big and greedy.

Nice

Thanks

Should be free

I like most people hate subscriptions and while the app did work great for me in the first month while it was free, I didn’t subscribe because in my opinion it’s not worth $30/year. This should be free, you would get millions of downloads instead of trying to gouge people on a subscription.

Pay to save

Sorry, does not make sense. Pay to save money? Uninstalling it. I will just do the manual way.

Receipt Retriever Disabled

No longer automatically retrieves your Costco receipts. No longer worth it to me. Unfortunately it’s too late apparently for me to get a refund of my subscription.

It was honestly awesome until…

It was honestly awesome until Costco. I guess got wind of it and now blocks the direct importer. It is an extra step, but still not a big deal.

Fantastic App

Very helpful unique App that could save you a lot specially if you buy a lot from Costco.

Paid Service

May say few bucks from Costco and give those to the app!!!!

Another subscription based app

When i see a subscription based app i stay away from this greedy behaviour. Simple

Tracking for discounts

It works and helping me to track for discount at Costco and I like it!

Game-changer for costcoshopper

Review:
Super easy to use—just snap a photo of your receipt, and Cost Pal tracks price drops automatically. I've already gotten money back on several items and paid for my membership with the savings! Wish I'd found this sooner. Highly recommend for anyone who shops at Costco regularly. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Never able to login

I am never able to login. This app is a great idea, but a terrible app.

Subscribe to save

Pay money to save money? lol sorry, not gonna subscribe to save. Uninstall.

Easy to use

I have been using this app for alittle under a year. I have gained quite a bit of return with things going on sale within the month I purchased them . They have improved the ease of uploading receipts since when I first started using it . You can now just link your account and easily upload your receipts

App not showing the price drop

Since last few weeks I noticed the app is not showing the price drop even if the item was on discount in the warehouse. Looks like app isn’t working at all..

Not worth the money

This was a great app until about a month ago. Then they update with some patch or something and now the easy receipt retriever is gone. You just get an error saying it’s not available. It’s been about three weeks since it has been available so I’m a little disappointed. I am absolutely not going to manually upload my purchases. Why would I win an API was available? I wish I could get my money back.

Response from developer

We've updated the app so that should no longer be happening! However, if you continue to run into issues, please reach out to support@costcocompanion.app and we'd be happy to help you!

DO NOT BUY - Not useful anymore

It was a great idea- simple and pays for itself.

But then they took away the receipt retriever and it’s basically useless. You can manually enter receipts now, but I’m not going to do that. It has to be easy to be useful.

I tried emailing support, but there was not response. They took away the key feature AFTER I paid for the app, and then don’t even bother to respond to support requests.
