What's New in Receipts for YNAB

1.1.4

August 27, 2026

This update is about the app doing what it told you it did. • Delete All Data now clears your receipt photographs. Images stored outside the main database were being left behind while deletion reported success. They are removed now. • Honest wording on deletion: the app clears its own data, and anything already uploaded stays in your YNAB account. The old text promised more than the app can reach. • Honest sign-out: if the app cannot confirm your YNAB credential was removed, it says so and refuses to use it, instead of reporting a success it did not earn. • Nothing lingers between sessions. A reply from YNAB that arrives after you sign out can no longer refill accounts and categories behind your new session. • Bank-matched receipts stay in sync. A receipt your bank matches keeps the bank's date and keeps syncing, instead of quietly dropping out. • Editing the same receipt in two places now tells you about the conflict, rather than letting one change overwrite the other. • Accessibility: bigger hit targets on Change Account and Save Locally, Reduce Motion respected in more places, and VoiceOver now speaks the uncategorized state on a line item. • Smaller fixes: a $0.00 line item is refused with the reason shown, quantity steps to the next whole unit, a blank merchant names the field instead of showing a storage error, and the sync sheet shows account names rather than raw identifiers. • New app icon. Plus reliability improvements under the hood.

User reviews

Inaccurate OCR

Tested this today several times on a typical Publix receipt. OCR missed various lines, incorrectly transcribed numbers, and frequently attributed incorrect price/item pairs. Usually around 25% error, which apparently syncs to YNAB as “rounding”. Good idea, but seems like it’s not ready for showtime yet.

Response from developer

Thanks for giving this such a thorough test, that kind of detail genuinely helps. Receipt layouts vary a lot from store to store, and I want to get yours working properly. If you're open to it, email me a couple of the receipts you tried at receiptsforynab.app@gmail.com and I'll dig into exactly what went wrong and follow up once it's improved. Really appreciate you taking the time.

Needed Some Help

Just downloaded this app to attach scans of my receipts in ynab. Scanning part work very well & it is entered the transaction but I want to attach the scan to an older transaction. There are no instructions on how to use this app in the app. Seems like it might be good but I since I cannot find any instructions or faq or way to contact the company with my questions, its useless to me.

Response from developer

Hi Sandib888, thank you for the review! You're right that the app needs a help section. I'm adding one in an upcoming update. In the meantime, you can reach me directly through Settings → About → Contact Support. I read and reply to every message. Today, YNAB doesn't support attaching images to transactions, so the app is built to do more: it scans your receipt, automatically reads every line item and price, categorizes each one, and syncs it to YNAB as a split transaction. No manual entry needed. When YNAB adds attachment support, I'm committed to integrating it. I'd love to help you get the most out of the app. Feel free to reach out anytime.
