### 1/5 — Out of business

*2025-05-30*

No longer works for last year.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!!!

*2025-05-24*

Terrible app!

### 1/5 — Non-Operational

*2025-03-10*

I have submitted many receipts with no action.  All submission stay in processing status.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2025-02-18*

I received one refund from this app the first summer that I used it. All of my receipts have been “pending” ever since and now I can’t even access the app. At this point, it’s totally worthless.

### 1/5 — App quit working and no support

*2025-01-31*

I have a year’s worth of receipts entered but nothing is happening. It worked initially but suddenly stopped. I’ve emailed them repeatedly for support but no reply. This is the second time I’ve had issues.

### 1/5 — Nothing happens

*2024-04-24*

The receipts have been sitting in the app for a full year now and nothing happens. They are not moving up the ladder towards the payment. Entering them directly on the government website is always effective. The app is useless. Nobody answers your emails either. Deleting the app. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Endless loops and stuck on requested

*2023-11-24*

I am only able to successfully log in about 25% of the time. Typically I get stuck in an endless loop of entering my phone number, entering the security code, repeat.
I’ve submitted 2 receipts, both are just sitting in the pending category and never move past requested.

### 2/5 — nice idea, but not solid execution

*2023-11-10*

the mechanics of the app are great.  I would give it 5 stars if all the features worked reliably, however, plaid integration never exited for me, so hangs in the in-app browser.  Also, It is currently giving me an infinite login loop - submit phone number, get text, screen never moves on to enter the code.

### 2/5 — Refunds denied

*2023-01-09, version 2.0.0*

The app can’t differentiate fuel types even though that is a requirement for submitting to the state.  I have received letters from the state denying the refund numerous times.  Contact with the app via email has not corrected this in app failure in almost a year.  😕

### 1/5 — Removes money instead of refunding

*2022-08-08*

I put in three receipts last season and I got the money deducted from my account instead of credited. I have written 3 emails, but no response. I have high hopes still for this up, but they need to rectify their removing of money from my account.
