Foreceipt Receipt Tracker App

I’m so glad I bought this product. Over a year ago, I decided I would start saving receipts and coming up with a personal budget. I managed to stick to saving the receipts, but as they kept piling up, I kept putting off recording them. I finally decided to look into ways of recoding the hundreds of receipts I had without making me want to jump off a bridge. I read a bunch of reviews and Foreceipt was the first app I tried. I’ve already entered tons of receipts a lot more quickly than I thought I’d be able to. The OCR isn’t 100% accurate, but no OCR will be until AI really gets moving. It’s still very accurate, the ease with which the app lets me update the things it doesn’t get perfectly, and all the extra filtering, sorting, budgeting, customization, cloud storage, and bulk editing features (when using the web version) makes this a five-star app in my book. Their support seems to be great so far too. Their online documentation is thorough, and they corresponded with me very quickly when I had some questions about subscription.

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 this app 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 this app 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 this app 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 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 the app 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, this app is genius! I am just going to be patient and grateful I have enough money to be able to get receipts that I need the app! 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.

I really wanted to give them 5 stars, because this app is close to perfect, to me it only needs few details fine tuned. And not only that, but changes to the app 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 the app only offers monthly budgeting. I really long for a budget feature that I can actually use! ... I'll reconsider the rating as the app improves
