Ratings and reviews

App works fine but giving it 3 stars because it doesn't remember my login or let me login with biometrics, only unlock it. Very annoying. Worked with their tech support thinking it was a hidden setting. Couldn't even get them to understand what i was asking for. They just kept pushing the lock option, which is already on amd has nothing to do with the initial login.

Purchased the Receipts add-on, as that's my primary reason for using the app. Taking a photo of a receipt seems fine (though I'd love to see line item breakdowns, as I'm sure that's decipherable). I'm completely unable to upload a photo I've already taken from my phone without crashing the app. Error message suggests updating after this bug has been fixed ... hopefully soon.

I think the app is great! Have been using it for a while now. I have paid for every upgrade as they became available. However, I have been paying for pro for the last 4 months or more and I have yet to receive all the benefits of pro. My subscription still shows Receipts as being active. I reached out to support (via bot). I am awaiting the response.

What's new

With this release, we’re waving bye to bugs and hello to stability improvements. Thanks for using Wave to help you stay more in control of your business while on-the-go.
