Coding
When you type the description, you can’t even see the field
★★★★ reese2219 12/28/2023 v4.7.8
If I could leave a 0 star I would
DO NOT sign up for Dext. I’ve been trying for months to end my service with them and get no response. I’m going to have to close my credit card they have on file. Use QuickBooks receipts instead. This is not a US company and they have no way to get in touch with.
★★★★ Mrufka 6/13/2023 v4.4.10
Major problem
The app is alright except it would unexpectedly switch between cameras from one to another lens which misalign your page to scan. It is so annoying cause you have to constantly to frame your page and at the same time try to focus. :/ I have reported problem over six months ago and still no fix. It is 1 star rating as it makes it useless unfortunately.
★★★★ smalltownbizowner 8/16/2022 v4.3.4
Horrible
Don’t bother with this. Horrible customer service. I have even tried to cancel and nothing. Can’t get my money back.
★★★★ 5_Saga 12/31/2020 v3.14.0
Upgrade and Charges
I’m having a hard time getting a hold of someone to help me. I upgraded from plus to premium and was charged for both transactions, but still have plus. I can’t finish scanning my expenses until this gets upgraded. Not sure if I’m going to keep this. I thought it would be easier. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Receipt Extraction
I’m trying to file my taxes and do not have an easy clear option to help me extract my scanned documents.
There is no contact information for Customer service that will help make this easy for me.
That should be number one priority is Customer Service Contact information.
I do Not Recommend anyone use this app!.???
Any help would be a big Surprise!!...
★★★★ surge ministry 3/20/2020 v3.9.4
Worst app ever!
Garbage
★★★★ mhatip82 2/2/2020 v3.8.12
Why need my phone number for
I don’t get why these apps asking for unnecessary info. Why you need my phone number for? I am already getting tone of robocalls. Just sell the app for money.
★★★★ Ascegan 1/25/2019 v3.7.13
Data miner
Requires your email, phone number, etc to function. DELETED
★★★★ ATRAIN55 8/22/2016 v3.3.6
New update deleted my most recent pics
I did the update over the weekend without thinking about now I lost my most recent receipts.
★★★★ UnkoMookie 1/28/2016 v3.2.7
Broken
Just updated now the app won't even open
★★★★ _kd5feg_ 1/3/2015 v3.1.5
Doesn't work
Says to go to settings to enable camera access but there is no setting rendering the app essentially uselessness
★★★★ OaktownS 11/14/2014 v2.8.4
Unusable UX
The design and UX of this app makes me cringe every time I open it - it's horribly outdated. I'm sticking with Expensify.
★★★★★ Apple4-2Long2quit_now 8/25/2020 v3.9.19
No price listed in App Store
When I download an app that does not show up front pricing, but wants my CC info for a free trial... <DELETE>
Why is it so hard for businesses (marketing) to be honest from the start. 2 stars for that. As soon as I was offered a free trial, I knew there would be a “hook”. Deleted without even trying.
★★★★★ Propreferred 6/2/2020 v3.9.10
App needs same abilities as web based program
Easy app to use for recording only your receipts. It won’t be my preferred method until there is the ability to add your receipt to an expense report.
★★★★★ John45acp 3/25/2020 v3.9.5
Silly banner
A good app but the silly awesome banner you have to tap to enter a new receipt is ridiculous. Please remove this.
★★★★★ Kellymr 8/11/2015 v3.2.4
Unmitigated Disaster
Although the premise of this app is valuable, the actual result is poor.
1. The receipt dating process is dd/mm/yy. This causes one to have to re type each individual receipt.
2. If using the expense report option, the user cannot sort the receipts by date until exported to a spreadsheet. And then see 1.
So, if you use the UK dating system and do not need an efficient expense report option, this might be for you.
