Foreceipt Receipt Tracker App Reviews

by DaBatman69

ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp started out as a great thing to help with tracking my receipts during my first year of business. It became very time consuming and inconvenient when I had to always stop and meticulously input or correct the way ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp picked up on the scanning of receipts.
Yes I did renew my subscription but after a day of going through the same correcting of the scanning I found another app that works SO MUCH BETTER and that app allows me to use my desk scanner as well as my phone’s camera for scanning. I canceled the subscription and requested a refund and I gave the reason for doing so and I was told that the company is very sorry by the $49 I spent on the yearly app subscription could not be refunded. It’s ok I guess. The money is a small amount in comparison to the customer service I’ve received from this company. Please by all means get rich and continue the very successful formula you guys have for your apps.
Not!!!!!!!

I am just starting and 5 out of the 5 receipts I have scanned so far have had errors: date, mistaking change for taxes, merchant name garbled, wrong category. However, I am going to sick with it because it has such great potential and it is forcing me to be conscious of my data. It’s a bit freaky to have ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp get a different thing wrong on every receipt, because I went ahead and bought it for a year. But if you look at it from the point of view of all the different ways receipts are designed and organized, ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp is genius! I am just going to be patient and grateful I have enough money to be able to get receipts that I need ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp ! Will report back as things progress.

It’s impossible to organize by date of the receipt. Just date the receipt was scanned. Useless!
The auto guess of which account to assign seems totally random. I use the same debit card yet sometimes the expense is shown as coming from checking account, sometimes cash and sometimes credit card. This is frustrating because now I have 70 entries coming from random accounts. The settings don’t seem to let me pick.
I still have to carefully edit each entry. I have only had 3/70 scans that were accurate. I don’t see how to upload this data to Quicken, Excel or Google sheets. That’s supposed to be some where but I haven’t found out how to use the data yet.
Not sure that I should continue. I have 2 months of receipts entered and edited. I hate the thought of starting over.

As a small business owner, I have enough on my plate keeping my business afloat. When you’re by yourself, you tend to look for some easier ways or tools that can help simplify some of your tasks. That when I kept hearing about receipt scanners and how they organize etc... I asked around and I said as highly recommend Foreceipt. Well in here to tell you that ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp is a waste of time and $120 annually. ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp only takes pictures of your receipts and stores them. There’s absolutely no organization, which is my biggest reason for wanting the receipt scanner so that I can cut down the time of having to do it manually for filing taxes. YES if you’re trying to file TAXES, this is NOT ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp you want. I will be canceling my subscription as soon as I figure out how to get this so called spreadsheet they make based off the receipt data. Quite frankly I couldn’t be more disappointed in the functionality of Foreceipt. Why? Because I still have to go through hundreds of receipts by hand.

I really wanted to give them 5 stars, because ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp is close to perfect, to me it only needs few details fine tuned. And not only that, but changes to ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp keep happening out of the blue. I had the free version for a while, with 100 receipts per month allowance, but from one month to the other it was changed drastically to 50, that screwed me up completely! and I'm not sure if i would be able to go back and enter them in app once I get the pro version. I was only waiting for the budget feature to be more flexible so that I can set my budgets according to my needs, currently I would like to set up my budgets bi-weekly (to coincide with my paycheck) but ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp only offers monthly budgeting. I really long for a budget feature that I can actually use! ... I'll reconsider the rating as ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp improves

I just started to try this application with travel related expenses I wanted to track. I had airline booking emails, hotel folio summary of charges, and a number of printed receipts from dining out. The ability to photograph and import entries was nice that it could also support the photo album of receipt photos I took from the past. I did have to correct a few entries from the scans where tip amount entries written by hand were treated as some tax amount, even though this was already itemized on the receipts I was scanning.

My BIGGEST concern is that I could not create an expense by uploading a pdf, or by forwarding in an email that contains an attachment (typically a PDF) with the actual receipt details that needs to be scanned. Not sure how this will be useful to me since most hotel folios are comprised of room fees, parking fees, and eating/drinks/snacks that are worth tracking with different categories for expense reporting. I am suspecting that this is "too hard" and ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp has simply dodged this important part of its use cases.

I love the features. Expense and income view, chart view of each category, can sort by dates, month or merchants and more. It can even fill in your upload by just taking a photo it’s not always accurate and you’ll have to go back and edit categories etc but it’s a nice feature. Shows an overview which is nice also. The biggest thing I’m looking for in an app is unlimited receipt uploads. The free version offers 10 uploads per month and if you upgrade pay $4/mo for up to 1,000 uploads but when you run a business or even as a regular consumer that is not enough. That is first and most important feature I am looking for in a receipt app.

I have been using ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp for a few years to help with taxes. I have been having trouble with ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp , “error -10” and my receipts are not uploading (the attachment is in red) and both the software and my iOS is up-to-date. I went online to try to get information and could not find any, so I tried the contact customer service and it forwarded me to a not secure external site. When you click on customer support, it links you to a feedback page and not a standard customer service page. You have to really search the page for what looks like a proper support email address. I found it under “how to write a review in App Store and earn free package”. So in other words, they will freely give you a free subscription if you give good feedback, but not help others who have problems when they pay for a subscription.

I was using ScanSnap Home with a Fujitsu scanner to track receipts. But that has really been a chore, especially after they rewrote the software, stripping many needed features. No iOS version is planned so I decided to look elsewhere as I need portability. I evaluated many different apps (Quickbooks Mobile , Expensify, etc) and decided on Foreceipt. It’s not perfect, (OCR needs work) but my workflow to track receipts is greatly simplified. I especially like receipts emailed to a special Foreceipt email address ( I purchase a lot from Lowe’s and Home Depot) are easily processed. Auto cropping paper receipts removes a lot of the guesswork when processing receipts. I get a great running total of my expenses and the PDF and Excel spreadsheet features work great. Data is stored on Amazon’s servers but I still keep my paper copies.
Support during my evaluation period, 3 weeks, was good but there were times when answers to questions concerning program operations took a few days. But support for when data hiccups occurred (twice) was very prompt and quickly addressed with no data loss.
The trial period is very generous, allowing premium features so you can really get a feel of how useful ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp can be. Do what I did and give it a try. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

I often send in reimbursement requests 3-6 months late because I HATE paperwork. But ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp has made it easy and I love that it auto refills stores and categories for me. My biggest problem with ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp comes with the sending the report. With added pictures the files become to big to send and I don't see a way to only send a few days at a time. I'm also trying to figure out how to only send certain days as my reports are for a certain amount not per a set of weeks or days. If these things where handled I would update to a 5 star.

Very useful app to help me and my wife track monthly expenses. Automatic receipt scanning is soooo nice but it usually has trouble picking up the store name from the receipt because when the store prints its logo on the receipt etc. Only reason for 4 stars is because they REALLY need to have a year-to-date cumulative total for each of their Categories because some of our expenses are every other month, every 3rd month, and every 6 months which I budget every month for, but on the off months it doesn't get paid so it really needs a year-to-date expense vs budgeted total for each Category for a better idea how you are doing on this expenses PLEASE!

I like ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp and I’ve been using it since 2014. It’s backed up all my receipts in google drive, so I never have to worry. Helps with budgeting and keeps track of my spending, which I used to do all in a notebook. But now I’m paperless!

One suggestion: once we create a receipt it defaults to showing me receipts by date created. Is there a way to turn this off? Or choose whether you want default to show receipts by receipt date or created date? This is fairly new feature and it’s annoying. Listing by created date is useful sometimes, but mostly I want to see receipt date.

We regularly store receipts in case we ever need to exchange or return things. Purging the piles becomes onerous, so we end up with an absurd amount of receipts over time. Foreceipt eliminates that problem and makes it way easier to find receipts when we need them given the metadata we can store about them! It's also cool to be able to see spending by category, payment type, month, etc. The scanning technology, which extracts receipt data, is super nifty (although not always 100% accurate). The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is becomes of some technical glitches that I've experienced (e.g. the scan screen sometimes goes black for second scans, you can't place the cursor in the cost line edit one number - it always just backspaces from the end of the number) and some improvements that could be had (e.g. With editing receipts, sorting receipts, how drive storage is organized). All in all, though, I'm super excited about having ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp and getting rid of paper receipts at last!!

It unclear about your current balances, I believe all of your accounts are shown as one. If it showed your balance for the different accounts ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp would be great. And it would’ve been great to know you have to manually roll over your ending balance every month.

I paid for pro on my iPad but the phone data sometimes is different. You’ll have to refresh it a few times. But my overall issue is it not stating/ being more specific with the current balance for which account. Adding this would make ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp untouchable. Until then I will be waiting for update. All in all I’m tired of looking for a new finance app. I don’t believe no app is perfect unless Foreceipt add this one thing lol

I hate keeping receipts but want to easily reconcile credit card charges. ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp makes eliminating receipts and reconciling charges easy.

Scanning is simple & recognizes receipts well, automatically entering most info. Anything that is incorrect can be edited quickly. At the end of the month I export the receipts to a csv file then have excel match the transactions exported from Quicken or Mint.

Receipts are stored on Google drive & don’t take much room so the free version is more than enough.

The only problem I had with ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp was one I created by accidentally deleting a receipt folder on Google drive. The folder was in the trash can so when I scanned the receipt it would disappear from ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp . Working with tech support we figured it out. I think the developers are 3 guys working out of their house so it’s not like a call center but they were responsive enough.

ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp is worth the money b/c it saves me significant time & hassle plus I recover enough from inaccurate credit card charges.

Since my encounter with the IRA a few years ago, I was encouraged by my replacement CPA to save my receipts in a shoe box for about 5 years. I’ve done that since. At least till a year ago. The problem with the receipts is the ink fade-away over time. Since finding Foreceipt I was reluctant and optimistic at the same time, but nonetheless gave it a try. Today I’m glad I did. Having digital receipt copies today is priceless. I would however like to see an improvement and functional budget feature in terms of recurring bills and also selected category sum.

I downloaded ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp back in 2016 and it has been incredibly useful and easy to use. I’m able to categorize my receipts amongst my company, add pictures of the receipts, write notes, and so much more. It has made doing taxes a breeze, and it’s great for referencing. There are many features, but it’s easy to navigate and customize. I came across an issue this past month because I moved the folder in my google drive, and support member John was extremely helpful, kind and resolved my issue within 10 minutes. I’ve tried many receipt apps, and this is by far the best one I’ve used. It’s worth upgrading as well. Thank you!!

I have to say I’m impressed with ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp. I’m one of those people with numerous bank accounts and believed that bank statements would be enough. However, using ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp is helpful to track spending in all accounts, and it helps me to stay organized. I love that I can store all my receipts here, it creates a chart for me to see my percentages AND budget. Highly recommend.

My only Con is that its not a free app but it’s actually really cheap, $9.99 for the entire year is not bad at all! That is like a cup of coffee and doughnut, you won’t be disappointed

I have had such a problem trying to find a good small easy expense and income tracker that’s easy to use and can quickly snapshot my receipts. Although at first there was a slight learning curve but I was able to customize several different accounts to keep track of multiple businesses by creating a separate account for each so you can run reports against them. Support was great i’m quick to respond to some sinking issues but we figured it out. Still a couple small bugs in the sorting process but overall I’m very happy with everything and I look forward to continue to use ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp to be able to provide my CPA. If you’re a simple business with lots of expenses and tracking of some income here and there this is a great app.

I rarely write reviews but ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp deserves a 20 minute standing ovation AND the kind of clapping that makes your hands hurt (yes it’s that good) so this is the least I can do! GET ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp !
No more boxes of receipts and digging around in my purse, wallet, console, (even went through the trash before) looking for a certain receipt s as t tax time or when my girls say they need to return something I bought for them.
I can NOT tell you enough how much EASIER ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp makes my life! You simply take a photo and it reads the information itself! You can create files. I’m an avid gardener so I’ve got my lawn and garden file. As a salon owner I’ve got individual files for salon supplies ...and being a single mom with 3 teens (2 in college & 1 in out of state military school) I’ve got files for each kid.. each of our vehicles etc. no more receipts out the wazoo! Yay! Thanksgiving honors go to .... 🥁🥁🥁 Foreceipt!!

Recently lost google drive access to my Foreceipt folder.
I spent days trying to recover the folder so that Foreceipt would read the folder. Unbeknownst I had copied and pasted misplacing the meta-data version of the files. Three years of my information was not syncing.

I was able to contact customer service and on a GoToMeeting together solved the mess I created. Finding the files with the meta-data and getting those in the folder that ForeceiptReceiptTrackerApp was searching for on my google drive.
