OneReceipt for iOS

With OneReceipt for iOS you can automatically or manually compile your paper and electronic receipts on your iPhone. However, this app isn't well optimized, so it has terrible processing speeds.

Pros

Free but packed with useful features: OneReceipt can generate a monthly spending summary and display return alerts and support tags and notes for better receipt management. We also like that it doesn't try to force you to upgrade to a premium version for more functions.

Automatic e-receipt capturing: It can automatically retrieve and organize the electronic receipts you get on your Gmail and Yahoo email accounts. While this can raise a security concern, the app's developers promise privacy and data security with secure SSL connection and the guarantee that credit card details are not stored anywhere.

Cloud receipt collection storage: Having everything stored in the cloud means that you can access your data even by using other devices as long as you have your OneReceipt username and password.

Cons

Slow receipt saving: It may be an ISP issue, but processing a paper receipt takes hours. The long processing time means that you can't quickly see an entry made in your list of receipts. This makes you worry if the receipt will be successfully entered into your account.

No offline receipt management: The app would doubtlessly run faster and be more efficient if it could process everything locally (offline) and just upload the compiled data incrementally in the background. With its current setup, the saving of paper receipts takes time and ruins the user experience.

No Safari extension: OneReceipt has a Chrome extension, but no Safari counterpart.

Bottom Line

As a receipt management app, you can say that OneReceipt is well-intentioned but poorly implemented. Until the receipt processing problem gets fixed, we recommend that you try one of the many other apps for managing receipts available in the App Store.
