### 4/5 — Appli formidable

*2026-06-03*

Tout est très bien sauf qu’on ne peut ps télécharger les reçus en pdf

**Developer response:** Bonjour,

Bonjour, c'est déjà possible aujourd'hui. Regardez attentivement : lorsque vous créez le rapport depuis l'application de bureau, il y a une case à cocher qui permet de convertir les images en PDF.

(That is possible today. Look carefully; there is a box that you can tap to convert images to PDF from the desktop browser application when you are creating the report. )

### 3/5 — I am early backer with lifetime subscription

*2026-05-02*

App is great , packed with premium options and useful features, I recommend it for new users.
having of the way , it has a been a while now since I noticed as very early app backer that this app is adding features and never give the premium members with lifetime subscription the same privilege over this features.. it starts with certain uses, then for the next updates it became certain number of use ultimately it became as every new subscriber with subscription use… so much for someone who promised -while asking early members to help promote for the app & backup the app- not to do so with early members!

### 3/5 — Great when it works

*2026-04-29*

Buggy and often save receipt content as gibberish. I’ve also had pending support requests with no response for over 7 days. I like the broad document store concept but it’s just not very polished.

### 4/5 — Fast

*2026-04-05*

Super fast, super easy. This is way better than Shoeboxed and more affordable. The app is also accessible; it is fully integrated with voice control. The only reason why I marked it down a star is because it can’t read cursive on check receipts and when you put two receipts next to each other it will capture the data of the receipt that isn’t even highlighted (or even in the camera area!).

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review and feedback on how to make this even better! -Joel

### 5/5 — Top Scanner und Weiterveratbeitung

*2026-02-17*

Schnell, präzise. Grandios der Export in Excel sowie der Zipordner mit allen Quittungen mit Beginn der Dateibezeichnung über yyyy-mm-dd. Lässt die Konkurrenz hinter sich, insbesondere das in Deutschland für die Steuererklärung allseits bekannte Programm der Firma Buhl. So nutze ich beide Programme. Oberfläche sowohl bei Desktopvariante als auch App könnte noch intuitiver sein und mehr Auswahl anbieten. Sehr happy

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung!

Eine überarbeitete und neu gestaltete Benutzeroberfläche ist bereits in Kürze verfügbar. 🚀

### 5/5 — Genuine Review

*2026-02-13*

A really brilliant App. Amazing accuracy, super simple and intuitive with a powerful reporting engine. This app has saved me hours of work vs manually creating expense reports for my accountant. 10/10 to the developers!

**Developer response:** Thanks! Glad to hear.

### 5/5 — So glad I found this!

*2026-02-12*

I have been using SparkReceipt for a year now and it has been an incredible help and time saver for me. I experimented with every similar app and website I could find and immediately noticed that this one somehow has MUCH better AI OCR (optical character recognition) than the others. While others struggled to read my old wrinkled receipts, this one did so immediately with few problems. It is also the most simple and intuitive design, which is what I want … just get my info and give me the report I need. I use it all day .. I use the app to snap a photo of the receipt and it’s done and I throw the receipt away, or drag and drop from my desktop or email, and the report is what I want. Super easy and fast and effective. Thank you everyone at SparkReceipt!

### 5/5 — Die beste App in dem Bereich

*2026-01-31*

Ich habe viele Apps für Finanzen und Dokumentenmanagement getestet. Spark Receipt ist super! Das Team bietet immer wieder Updates und ich freue mich auf die Weiterentwicklung.

**Developer response:** Danke, es freut uns zu hören, dass dir die App gefällt.

### 5/5 — Entrepreneur Cheat Code

*2025-12-10, version 2.0.0*

I use to loose receipts all the time and as a business owner it would mean lost write offs. This had made it an easy way to keep track of all my expenses and I can upload receipts right away. Once I upload my bank statements it’ll do the matching for me and save me a ton of time to do what I need to.

### 5/5 — So easy to use

*2025-12-02, version 2.0.0*

It’s no brainer. All the receipt pretty much categorized themselves and when it comes to taxes, i just click a button.

### 5/5 — Game-changed

*2025-11-26*

SparkReceipt is one of those apps that you end up using everyday, to tame domestic budgets or professional ones. Either way, it’s a Godsend in terms of organisation. Highly recommended

**Developer response:** Hi,

Very happy to hear! Thank you for the review :)

### 5/5 — Best tool for solopreneurs

*2025-11-26, version 2.0.0*

Best tool for keeping track of receipts and expenses

### 5/5 — Fast

*2025-11-24*

Super fast, super easy. This is way better than Shoeboxed and more affordable. The only reason why I marked it down a star is because it can’t read cursive on check receipts.  The app is also accessible; it is fully integrated with voice control.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review and feedback on how to make this even better! -Joel

### 5/5 — So Easy

*2025-11-09, version 1.9.8*

Best receipt scanner even reads receipts that are faded. Great App

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Chit bucket of an app

*2026-05-31, version 2.2.4*

I just downloaded this and went with the elite program. Had to restart because it was not counting income with email scans and I had to change dates. I went to delete everything so I could start over again and it completely blocked my email account. I can’t get back in here unless I pay this worthless company another subscription. What a waste of my time.

### 1/5 — Date mismatch

*2026-05-27, version 2.2.3*

Unfortunately the software doesn’t read the receipt dates so it can’t match them with your statements.   

The main reason I tried the software was for this. 

Without it matching the dates you are forced to do it manually for thousands or even hundreds of receipts.

### 1/5 — Bad scanning

*2026-04-05, version 2.1.7*

I’ve scanned 5 receipts. None captured the right amounts

### 1/5 — Not happy with the additional AI taxes

*2026-03-22, version 2.1.5*

Used to be a nice app, but the new additions ask for more money on the pretext of financial sustainability. One star for letting past customers down

### 1/5 — New User

*2026-02-13, version 2.1.2*

Just signing up was a problem with account already exist.

### 1/5 — No funciona

*2025-09-07, version 1.8.8*

Me sorprende que tenga tanto puntaje todavía. Es una aplicación que realmente no funciona… no te lee los estado ni tampoco categoriza por ti las transacciones. Aun pagando no la suscripción mas cara, no te permitía hacer nada.

### 1/5 — Minimal help.  Quirky

*2025-02-04, version 1.7.4*

It could not grab a pdf file from Google drive on Several attempts.  I scanned multiple receipts.  It didn’t enter the amounts into the correct spots.  It pulled the name of the store but often got the dates wrong.  Too much manual entry needed.

### 1/5 — Okay , I don’t what is going on

*2025-01-31, version 1.7.4*

I just made a payment but this app is not uploading receipt to it categories, waste of money and time . Thank God I didn’t pay for the yearly payment

### 2/5 — Too many errors recently

*2026-06-27*

It started well, I thought it might be a great tool to stay focused on expenses etc - lately though every second scan gets errors, wrong dates, missing tax values - even the dates get misinterpreted- worst thing though - it keeps changing scans after. Not sure if it needs an update, but right now now, it’s way easier to use a classic AI service than Spark.

**Developer response:** Thanks for writing this out properly, and sorry for the delay — your feedback is more useful than a rating on its own.

The part that concerns me most is the last one: scans changing after the fact. If the app is altering values you've already reviewed or corrected, that's a defect we need to find and kill, not an accuracy problem to tune. Dates and tax values on German receipts are something we can measure and improve; silently overwriting your work is different.

If you would like to email me at joel@sparkreceipt.com with a couple of examples — ideally a receipt where the value changed, and roughly when? That gives us something reproducible to work from. We ship releases every couple of days and most reported issues are live in production within a week.

This review is from June and a lot has shipped since, but I'd rather fix your specific case than ask you to take that on faith.

### 2/5 — Asks for spouse - doesn’t allow option

*2025-01-01, version 1.7.4*

Doesn’t provide an option for spouse access despite this being part of their questionnaire and my desire.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2026-08-28*

Have been using this app for a few months now and has been fantastic.  Traditionally I’ve been terrible at doing my expenses and missed out on claiming ex’s, loosing paperwork and just not finding the time to submit a claim.
This app changes all that, simple to use, no more pieces of paper to loose!

### 5/5 — Look no further, you just found your favorite app.

*2026-08-03*

SparkReceipt keeps getting better, and it’s genuinely amazing. Before this app, managing receipts and paperwork was a constant struggle—tax time especially felt brutal. Now, capturing receipts is effortless: just snap a photo with my phone on the go, and the AI takes care of the rest. It simplifies the entire bookkeeping process so well.

I set up categories that mirror the tax forms, and suddenly my taxes are about 90% done with almost no effort. The continuous improvements really seal it for me—this is the best app in its category. It’s lightweight yet extremely powerful.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to stop drowning in receipts and finally feel in control of their expenses.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the heart-warming review!  I have shared this with the team :) -Joel

### 5/5 — Time Saving Hidden Gem x 10!

*2026-03-28*

Oh my gosh, I can't believe how amazing this app is. It makes it so easy to automatically get all your receipts in. It can pull in your email receipts automatically, paper receipts, keep everything organized. There's webhooks and automation features. The scanner is amazing. It's just super fast, easy to use. It's available on mobile, desktop, whatever. Man, if you stress out at all about staying on top of your budgeting, finances, receipts, any of that stuff, this is a powerhouse right here. Especially if you like automating things and saving time.

### 5/5 — So glad I found this!

*2026-02-27*

This app is just what I was looking for. Simple and fast and it just works! I tried many other apps and websites and they were complicated and slow and glitchy and couldn’t read many of my receipts. Somehow this one is simple and fast and can read the receipts others couldn’t. It just works! I have used it for a year now and it is a great help and time saver. Thank you developers at SparkReceipt!

### 5/5 — Excellent App!

*2026-02-23, version 2.1.2*

This app has make tax time manageable and not as stressful. I capture receipts throughout the year and at tax time it generates a nice report. I’ve recommended this app to several people. I wish I found it sooner.

### 5/5 — A Time-saver

*2026-02-23*

This app has really helped me to budget more effectively, and saved me a lot of time from manually inputting receipts into a spreadsheet.

**Developer response:** Glad to hear. Thank you for the review!
