Scan vs. On products
I Love the this app program as it gives schools an opportunity to earn extra money for things they could not otherwise afford. I do however have a problem with them taking the this app off of products. A LOT of people do not have a way to scan receipts in to get points. I’m hearing a lot of complaints about the new way of doing things. With this app on products even the most reluctant will take a moment to tear them off the product and toss them into a cup or baggy out of the way until they see someone who is collecting them. With the new way even ppl with smartphones say “I’m not downloading another app!” Or “I’m too busy to bother with this!” Not too many people are willing to share their receipts so someone else can scan them either. I truly hope that you will find it in your hearts to go back to the ‘old way’. A lot of schools depend on this extra money during the school year. Thanks for listening, Brenda Hoppe

Quick and Easy
There has been a lot of skepticism with the new digital box tops program, but I’ve adjusted my routine (scanning the receipt when I unpack groceries) and I’ve found it to be a quick and easy way to earn money for my kids’ school. There are some kinks to work out, but any time I’ve had a problem Box Tops has made it right. There are growing pains to be sure, but overall the app has worked well for me. It would be nice to have an option to link to multiple schools and choose which to submit earnings to each time you scan, for families with kids in multiple schools that participate. ETA: the new give credit feature is great, but again it would be nice to be able to edit this field each time a receipt is scanned so credit can be given to a different class for multiple kids or based on different contest structures (sometimes our contests are run by class, by grade, boy v girl, or a different team system).

The app is great, however... here’s a suggestion
I love the idea of going digital. I have never had a problem with bugs or anything like that. However, I can’t help but feel like there were some things that weren’t thought of or thought through. For example, they make you choose one school to donate to, and that’s great if you only have one child but when you have multiple and some are in a different school, it’s hard to divide and share your earnings. The second thing I am not a huge fan of is, having to use the receipt. I like how it gets everything all at once, but there are some things that I buy that are personal and I am not a fan of sharing that. A suggestion I have is to put a barcode or something that we can scan on the inside of the box so people can’t just scan it while they are at the store.
