Thank you for taking the time to try kiko. As a very small team, we had to make the difficult decision to only support English at launch as localization and multilingual app support is incredibly difficult, as well as developing additional language support for our receipt import tool. There is good news however! On the orders page within your Costco account, you can change the website language to EN (English) temporarily to import your receipts. We know it's not the best solution, but once kiko grows we'll be able to obtain more resources to build additional language support. Again, thank you for trying out kiko and we hope this response alleviates any concerns. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-07-10* Whoever thought of this is a genius. It’s going to really elucidate buying habits for people and signing up for the subscription takes all the guess work about it. If you shop at Costco frequently, it pays for itself in the savings you get back and then some! **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words! We're glad to hear you've been enjoying kiko and we hope it's putting money back in your pocket. ### 5/5 — Fantastic tracking tool *2026-07-01* Kiko is a fantastic app with so many useful features in one place.

It’s practical, easy to use, and has become a valuable part of my shopping routine. Highly recommended! **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind review! We're glad to hear you're enjoying kiko and it's helped you save money. ### 5/5 — Quicker trips, fewer items, more savings!! *2026-06-28* First, seeing all my Costco data in one place so succinctly laid out is amazing. The app is clean, integrates the Costco app with new unique features that help track my spending, and easily find savings. Once you’ve uploaded your receipts from the Costco app, it’s clear sailing - and adding receipts as you go is a piece of cake. I can build shopping lists, go to Costco and grab what I need and spend less time mindlessly grabbing things I don’t need. Also a Costco passport showing you all the Costco’s you’ve been to across Canada and the US is actually amazing. Highly suggest! **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind review! We're glad to hear you're enjoying kiko and it's helped you save money. We also love the warehouse passport feature! ### 5/5 — Handy tool for keeping track of Costco spending! *2026-06-28* This app helps you track your recurring purchases, track savings, and easily find current deals at Costco! It’s super useful for building shopping lists based on your past purchases and seeing what’s on sale ahead of your shopping trip, keeping your trip focused on a list instead of just grabbing things and accidentally running up a huge bill. This app has really streamlined my shopping! **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind review! We're glad to hear you're enjoying kiko and it's helped you save money by utilizing the shopping list to stay on track.

This update brings some new features and improvements to importing receipts. New Savings Page Updates - Search your savings to find a deal without scrolling the whole list. - Deals that have not started yet now have their own Upcoming Savings section, so nothing shows as on sale before it is. - Deals ending soonest now sort to the top. Imports - Receipts held for review can now be deleted, not only imported. - Import results provide more detail into what was actually found instead of calling everything an "Unknown PDF". - Fixed a case where an item could go missing from an imported warehouse receipt (Note: Previous imports are unaffected, any products that couldn't be detected would go to the "Needs Review" queue). ### 1.1.2 — 2026-07-28 Major Fixes - Costco has updated online warehouse receipts to show multiple quantities! - This small change broke multiple product quantity imports, but it's now fixed and those receipts will import without issue. - If you've imported any warehouse receipts with multiple quantities in the last few days, you can swipe to delete the receipt and re-import it. We apologize for any inconvenience! - Note: This does not affect older receipts that have products with multiple quantities as this change was just done recently (within the last few days). Older receipts before this change still imported as expected and will show the correct quantities. Other Fixes - Fixes online order items that imported with their name listed twice. - The Clean Sweep badge now unlocks when you check off the last item on your list, instead of needing to select "Clear". ### 1.1.1 — 2026-07-08 New! - More than a dozen new badges to earn, from Archivist and Wallet Buster to secret ones you'll uncover as you shop - A celebration when you unlock a badge, plus a single "new badges" summary when a bunch unlock at once (like right after your first import) Fixes and improvements - Pins: create and edit now live on one simple screen, photos attach more reliably, and text is easier to enter - Online orders: product names no longer carry the delivery status, color, or size, so searching and your product pages stay clean - Price adjustment receipts containing clearance items are now recognized correctly, so they show up under Price Adjustments and count toward your savings - A more accurate Executive 2% reward estimate that lines up with your Costco app - Import: clearer "can't read this" message when a shared PDF isn't a Costco receipt - Dark mode: cleaner card edges, dividers, and icons across the app - Refreshed launch screen - iPad: sharing badges and cards, and opening a warehouse's receipts on the Warehouse Passport map, now work reliably Instant Savings and coupons - Coupons with a "hot buy" price (no separate discount shown) are now labeled so it's clear that's the deal price - Online-only and warehouse-only offers are now called out right on the coupon sheet - Refreshed the kiko+ savings prompts with clearer messaging ### 1.1 — 2026-07-03 This update brings native iPad support! - The full kiko experienced is now available on all iPad models in both portrait and landscape - iCloud syncs your private data between all your devices Other fixes - Fixed a badge progress bar that was showing 0% when you were actually most of the way to your next tier - Refreshed the badge cards: consistent sizing, cleaner layout, and completed badges now move aside so it's easier to see what's next - Cleaned up the Tracker tabs and refined the descriptions - Clearer instructions in the import guide, plus a direct link to your Costco orders - Lighter, easier-to-read stat cards on Home and the gas dashboard - kiko+ now highlights household sharing as one of the benefits - Refreshed the badge and year-in-review share images, and made them smaller to share. Also updated the Warehouse Passport share image to match. - Resized the splash screen logo so it doesn't dominate the whole screen ### 1.0.4 — 2026-06-29 Fixed some bugs during setup and general usage for household syncing Added flagged Active Price Adjustments and flagged Receipts to household sync Set up a household to share and sync data with another person via iCloud! ## Related topics [costco companion](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/costco-companion) · [ncat](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/ncat) · [best apps for costco members](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/best-apps-for-costco-members) · [costco same day](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/costco-same-day) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
