### 5/5 — Great App! Simple to use

*2026-03-31*

Highly recommend. I use this for a business that doesn't generate a lot of income yet. I couldn't afford QuickBooks monthly fee and this makes up for it. I'm primarily using this for just keeping track of all my receipts so that I can have a report at the end of the year for taxes. This app does exactly that. Very easy to use too.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you so much for the fantastic review! 💙 Helping small business owners and freelancers stay organized for tax season is exactly why we built TaxLens. We're thrilled to hear it's working perfectly as your QuickBooks alternative! If you ever have any ideas or feedback as your business grows, we’re always listening. Wishing your business huge success！
