### 4/5 — Good app and does what it is designed for

*2026-01-11*

Pro- scanning using desktop scanning for MAc OS is quick, allows some editing and enables you to select where to store (desktop, cloud or near cloud).   And the size of scan is far more efficient that the very bloated huge file size document scans used on native Apple app for iPhone.

Downside is that for best cloud, one cannot choose neat cloud storage location.  Definitely need to be able to select jurisdictions outside of the increasingly lawless and privacy dismissive USA.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your review and 4-star rating! We thank you for choosing Neat!

### 5/5 — Arnold

*2025-06-09, version 1.0.63*

Arnold was very helpful.

### 5/5 — One of my favorites

*2025-06-08, version 1.0.63*

This app makes me feel organized and in control.

### 5/5 — Easy way to stay organized

*2025-04-24*

I've been using Neat for many years and was thrilled when they released a version for the iPad. It could not be easier ... open the app ... take a photo of your receipt ... identify the correct category/folder (that you create!) ... then shred the paper. It's all saved and organized.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We appreciate you being a long-time Neat customer! Using your iPad to capture receipts and documents is a smart way to get them into Neat!

### 5/5 — Great Receipt Tracking

*2025-04-16, version 1.0.62*

I have been with NEAT since the beginning or pretty close to it. It’s a great way to track receipt’s. As an independent truck driver I have a lot of them.

### 5/5 — Extremely pleased

*2025-02-27*

I have been using Neat since you first came out with your portable scanner that you fed one piece of paper at a time. The improvement in your software and your scanner abilities has saved me an incredible amount of time and space. Not having superior technology background I have found your Webinars to be informative and understandable, I am grateful for them. Since you have begun Webinars, I have discovered many more uses for my NEAT system, well beyond my original expectations. Over the years you have made improvements that I have loved and made my life easier and others that left questions in my mind and so I didn’t use them. It is tax season, 25 years ago it took me a week or two to gather all my information to prepare for filing taxes. Now it takes less than two hours. I press the report button. I fill out my requirements and I have everything ready to go. That alone makes the Program worth while.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the 5-star rating and review! We truly appreciate you being with us since the beginning! Completing your taxes in less than 2 hours is no small feat. So glad we can help you stay organized to accomplish this.

### 3/5 — Images taken are consistently blurry

*2025-02-27, version 1.0.62*

Images taken are consistently blurry when taken with iphone 12 pro (excellent camera)

### 5/5 — Great Product

*2025-02-03, version 1.0.61*

Great product and support a need for every household.

### 5/5 — Great app for tracking receipts

*2025-01-06*

I use Neat receipts to track expenses for taxes and to keep track of projects, warranties, etc. 
Neat makes it easy to capture images, track receipts, and view data online.  You have to verify scanned data. It doesn’t always get the right vendor or the right amount but it does pretty well.

**Developer response:** The Neat Company thanks you for your 5-star review! We actively work at improving Neat's parsing and OCR capabilities.

### 5/5 — Robust

*2024-12-18*

The mobile and web  apps for Neat work seamlessly. Quick to learn and use from either platform or both. Also has the ability to share access to files with others who you define and select data to be shared. I’m impressed.

**Developer response:** Thanks for choosing Neat! It's nice to see you using the Neat Mobile App and incorporating folder and account sharing, which are key features!

### 5/5 — Excellent Tool to use on the road

*2024-12-18*

As a retiree frequently traveling, I love being able to use my iPhone & this mobile app to scan my receipts directly into my virtual cabinet.

**Developer response:** Hey, thanks for the 5-star rating! We are glad to hear the Neat Mobile App keeps you connected to your data at home and on the go!

### 5/5 — Great experience with saving files & receipts

*2024-11-16*

This is a great app. Yes, it's expensive but worth it. You can access all your files on the go and share all your records in the app with 4 other people.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the 5-star rating! We are happy to see you are taking full advantage of the Neat Mobile app and account sharing features!

### 5/5 — Superior program for personal and business operations

*2024-11-16, version 1.0.58*

Neat is an exceptional program. We cannot run our business without it!

### 4/5 — Small Business Accounting - Not

*2024-11-10*

This is an excellent program to store receipts, in fact any document, on the cloud called a neat Cloud.

An accounting program it is not.  At one time, they featured a version called Neat Books but in fact it is almost impossible to balance the Balance Sheet for a company using this program.

The program works like QuickBooks on the web but in a reverse.  QucikBooks is an accounting program and allows you to attach receipts to the income and expenses recorded.  Not works the opposite:  a great depository for receipts and then allows one to align a receipt to a downloaded income (from your bank) or expense (e.g.; from credit cards).  Payments from one to the other are called transfers.

However, the Balance Sheet Report o rarely in balance and it is not clear that the program has the functionality to make it balance.  In QUickBooks, the balance sheet by definition will balance or you cannot place the entry into the Books.

As best I can tell, Neat no longer promotes the app as one that is for accounting, except the title on this App.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the 4-star rating and feedback. We are sorry you are experiencing issues with the balance sheet. Only categories labeled Assets, Liabilities, and Equity will flow through to your balance sheet. 

We are constantly making updates to Neat to improve it and would like to better understand your unique situation and the issues you are experiencing with the balance sheet. Please submit your Neat account details using this link, https://support.neat.com/customerservice/contact-support-team and we will contact you to discuss.

### 5/5 — Since it was first introduced

*2024-11-02*

I have been with Neat since basically its inception with there desk top scanner. It’s the only receipt tracker I have ever used. I would say I am biased but it’s definitely worth a try.

**Developer response:** Hey there,  we appreciate your 5-star rating and review! Thank you for your long-time support of Neat!

### 5/5 — Great filing tool

*2024-06-13*

I use the NEAT Mobile App everyday to scan my receipts. 

It would be useful for the App to match vendors to categories that we choose. For example “Whole Foods” matched to category: “Groceries”…. Etc. 

Also, the addition of the field: “Payment Type” in the Mobile App would also be useful.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the feedback! Neat's Automated Insights plan which streams your bank transactions includes vendor matching to your chosen categories. We'll share your feedback about including this feature in the NeatBase plan and adding payment type to the Neat Mobile App with our developers. Enhancements to Neat often come as a result of customer feedback like yours.

### 5/5 — Customer suport was helpful

*2024-04-08*

I scheduled a session with customer support and they answered several questions I had and walked me through operations I had questions on.  I was happy with my experience.

### 1/5 — Clueless

*2025-05-10*

I question whether the developers of this software have ever actually run a business.  As a company, you cannot claim to provide    “immediate customer service” M-F from 9-8 ET.  Those are the hours that your customers are working.  Perhaps be available earlier and on the weekends.  The format is limited and can’t be customized in a useful manner.  My receipts for all of my expenses are no more organized and accessible in Neat’s digital format than they are in my shoebox with a notecard with a running tally.

**Developer response:** Philip, 
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your concerns and understand how important it is for service to align with the needs of business owners like yourself. This is one of the reasons we provide a 24-hour online Help Center (https://support.neat.com/) and a 24-hour chat feature, which have both proven successful at solving most customer issues.
We would love to learn more about your specific business needs as Neat already provides an outstanding accuracy rate for reading and categorizing receipts and other items. An invitation has been sent to the email associated with your Neat account.  We look forward to getting additional feedback from you.

### 1/5 — Error in logging in

*2025-02-01, version 1.0.61*

I’ve been trying to login and I only get a “Cloud API is unavailable” message.  Cannot locate any guidance on support page for this issue.  I was a longtime user of Neat and wanted to migrate to this product.  Nice concept, but poor execution.

### 1/5 — WARNING!!!

*2024-04-22, version 1.0.53*

This app will try to trick you into a subscription as if you can try it for $0.99 fora year, but it’s only a one month trial then it will charge you $200.

### 1/5 — Want to spend $21.78 a month for this AWFUL APP???… (Why? Free apps are better!🤔)

*2024-02-03, version 1.0.47*

Want to spend $21.78 a month for this AWFUL APP?… Not me! They raised the prices, which were already too much, even when they were under $10 for this terrible app!
I have free apps that do a better job, and don’t seem like “predatory pricing”. 😡
Tried canceling last year after being very ill when a money tracking app finally noted my recurring charges were over TWICE the amount they were, just to encounter further challenges.

This app is worse than useless to me now- 
I can’t wait to cancel it, except that years ago a friend who is now not around😢, helped me scan my important memories and lesson plans. This app (purposely???🤔) makes it a hassle just to print each document out, just so that I can finally just go back to square one after over a decade with a big pile of papers so that I can finally cancel this app that I have now wasted many hundreds of dollars. I am appalled at them, and ashamed of myself for not handling this app sooner!

Also, when my credit card changed, this company somehow convinced my credit card to reinstate the recurring charges. Disgusting behavior after over a decade with their original overpriced scanner that I thought would help this disabled teacher get more organized. 
Unfortunately, it has cost me hundreds (likely thousands 💸) to be even more inconvenienced, and worse- feeling trapped because they have my important information. 

***Don’t bother unless you want similar treatment. Use G**gle-based and other reputable apps for FREE.***

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone 15 Pro Max with latest iOS.

*2023-10-23, version 1.0.43*

Please text your product before you release it. Please test it on new iOS versions. 

A scan app should actually scan a receipt. This one doesn’t.

### 1/5 — Have to re login EVERY TIME YOU USE THIS APP

*2023-10-16*

The Point of an app is for it to be quick easy and convenient. When I’m doing receipts, I have to continually log back in. This is such a waste of time and a barrier… maybe some people like it but you should at least make it an option in settings to have no login or a month or a week but definitely five minutes before it logs you out is too soon!
I see you have other settings that can be adjusted, so please add this. I will change my review once that feature is available. Thank you.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Data security is a top priority at Neat.  
We understand customers use Neat across various devices and in different ways. Some users store highly- sensitive data. Others may not. For faster sign-on, consider enabling Biometrics or setting up a password manager.

### 1/5 — Lost all my data, invoices, expenses, receipts

*2023-05-12, version 1.0.40*

So grateful!
