1. 5/5Excellent but pricing not adequate for a simple usage

   Hi, my usage is just scanning receipts, letting the OCR and algorithm do their thing, and getting a pdf report. I do not need it to be connected to another external system or invoice, as my company has its expense tool. The trip taken is an option, I do not use it. The pdf report just accelerate my reporting process, and also give me a more advanced solution on my phone, to add info during the trip. Our company only is over 20k employees, and we all have a similar issue but don’t have a solution provided. Also, concierge seems to be a good idea but it is sometimes a little bit invisive. In that context, the pricing is wrong for the usage described usage. I would like a flat fee or a way lower subscription fee just to be able to do what I described. The app is excellent at getting the right information (some other apps are retrieving too much info, but this one is well “calibrated”). The only issue is the pricing. Note: it would be great to be able to “send” by email electronic receipts so that they appear in the expense section, like for online orders and Uber/Lyft trips.

2. 2/5Bring back the upfront option to manually make receipts

   I like the app, and it has gotten less buggy over the last few years, but your recent decision to remove the ability to quickly fill in my own info to favor your smartscan approach is actually annoying enough to me that I feel I need to write this generally negative review. Clearly you left the ability to bypass the smartscan feature, but decided to bury it through unnecessary steps. It only makes me assume this is so you can harvest more data about my activities. Also, I used to often add placeholder expenses that didn’t have receipts to make sure I didn’t forget to add them later. You've broken my ability to do this without having a manual expense creation option from the start. Response to dev: I’m using the mobile app, and when I touch Create Expense I get 4 options, Scan Receipt, and then 3 under Distance (manually create, odometer, start gps). I’ve tried going to manually create under Distance, but it has many options that aren’t relevant to my expenses. So I have to use Scan Receipt, which means I must have some type of photo to input. When I dont have a receipt handy and just want to make a placeholder expense for later, Ive resorted to taking a screenshot of the built in camera view and then adding that screenshot as the expense picture. Then I have to use two more touches to get to the point where I can manually add all the info about the expense, which is obviously all a lot more annoying than just having the ability to manually create the expense right off the bat.

3. 3/5Love the app but have the functionality

   I started using this this app several years ago at the recommendation of a client. I like the fact that I can go paperless and get rid of all the paper receipts however being that I’m a self-employed person and some of my receipts don’t have the title of the store or restaurant or wherever (ex. New York City taxi) scanning gets a little bit more confusing and I have to manually type that in additionally and the system doesn’t recognize the manually entered receipt with automated same receipt once it’s posted to my account. 2)expense reports this past year have not been updating the correct total. I can see the amounts I entered for each receipt and the total does not reflect those. 3) another real BIG problem is that there is no phone number to speak to a customer service person which is extremely frustrating and very needed because it takes up to three days to have an issue resolved. For example- I have my own s Corp however paying to send expense reports to myself makes no sense. I tried undoing this but then I was unable to access past folders. Customer service via email did a poor job of explaining and didn’t refund me. Also the app often loses marked categories when I manually enter in. I’m not sure why that is. The categories show up on the computer but not on app. I do hope this can be fixed.

4. 5/5Seamless Reporting for work

   I use this app for my company’s expense report. It is simply fantastic. I never need to carry receipts any more. Expensify would be smart to boost their marketing efforts to move more companies to implement this system. My previous company stubbornly was stuck in the Stone Age requiring paper receipts and an excel report, simple because they never had a comprehensive explanation of modern/efficient expense reporting services. Some call that old fashioned, I call it being behind our competitors. I accurately track each expense with photos of receipts. I love it, and mg company loves it. App is works well. It’s connects well with Uber and other services. Connects to banking very nicely. I typically submit my expenses to my company using this app and within a day, everything is approved and reimbursement starts. The scanning feature can be improved, but I rarely use it anyway. Perhaps if it was quicker and more accurate, I would gladly pay more for the service, but right now, especially for complicated receipts, I simply snap a picture and upload it and enter the figures manually. Takes just a few seconds. Thank you for this app.

5. 1/5Be VERY sure about Expensify pricing policies...

   I have a small business and had hoped Expensify would help with organizing and tracking staff expenses and such...but the set up and process didn’t provide the benefits I’d expected for my particular needs. I tried it out for several weeks (after the initial trial), realized it wasn’t for me, but then got busy with other work, and waited several months to find the log in info and cancel the account. It promptly warned me that I was on a very confusing annual plan, and that they would have to bill me for a higher rate for the months I’ve been using the program. Though I hadn’t been “using” the program, I suppose I didn’t meet the qualifications of an inactive user(?), and that I would have to pay a canceled subscription charge amounting to about 6 months of fees I’d already been paying for 8 months. While I am not normally affected by irritations such as this, it seemed incredibly deceptive, even after reading through the pricing structure again afterwards, and has prompted me to write this review, hoping it might encourage others to understand it thoroughly before committing to an Expensify program. It might have been cheaper to keep the program for the extra months and cancel later, but by that time I was too huffy to consider it, and just wanted out. Too bad. I might have revisited it another time, but certainly not now.

1. 5/5

   Easy to use. Great for freelancers.

2. 1/5

   This used to be convenient and easy, but the major update this year has made it frustrating and borderline unusable. In particular photographing receipts is very unreliable. several times I have taken a picture in the app and come back later to find it is nowhere in the system. The interface is awful now and it's no longer intuitive where to find things. It takes me far longer to submit expenses claims than it used to. The constant pushing of concierge is annoying and unhelpful.
