Stop wondering where your refund went. Got the Refund helps you keep track of money that companies have promised to return. Record the amount you are owed, the expected payment date and any reference details, then receive a reminder when it is time to check or follow up. TRACK EVERY REFUND Create a clear record for retail returns, cancelled bookings, deposits, duplicate charges, subscription refunds, expenses and other repayments. For each case, you can record: • The company that owes you money • The amount and currency • The reason for the refund • Your reference or case number • The date the refund was requested • The date payment was promised • Notes, documents and supporting evidence KNOW WHAT NEEDS ATTENTION See which refunds are: • Waiting for payment • Due soon • Overdue • Partially paid • Disputed • Fully recovered Calm, private reminders help you follow up without filling your calendar or relying on memory. KEEP A COMPLETE HISTORY Record every update, including revised payment dates, partial repayments, contact attempts and final outcomes. Your case timeline keeps the important details together when you need to contact a retailer, booking provider or service company again. SEE WHAT YOU HAVE RECOVERED View: • Money recovered this month • Total money recovered • Money still outstanding • Refund completion rate • Recent repayment activity • Progress by refund reason Amounts in different currencies remain separate rather than being combined into a misleading total. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Got the Refund works without an account. Your refund records and evidence remain stored locally on your device. Optional device authentication helps protect the app using Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode. SHARE YOUR PROGRESS Create a privacy-safe progress card showing how much money you have recovered without revealing company names, references or private case details. Got the Refund is an organisational tool. It does not provide financial, legal or consumer-rights advice and cannot guarantee that a refund or repayment will be made.
