Have you ever lent money to friends and never remembered who refunded you ? You never know if you have been refunded by your insurance for your heath care ? You often return items you've purchased online but you don't know what has been refunded or not ? With Refunds, you'll have the answer to all these questions and more in a simple and effective way. Refunds let you enter a new refund to track very quickly. The refunds are organized by category (health, purchase, person, expense report) in order to find them more easily.

Refunds is available on all your iOS devices and can synchronize your refunds with iCloud.
