Like most users for reviews, it never recognizes common box top items. Honestly, I have had this app for a few years and it is not worth it. It used to work and I have to manually enter everything. Uninstalling app, if you curious to install just know there are hundreds of people saying the same thing, app doesn't work

We sincerely apologize for the troubles you've had with the app. We would love to learn more regarding your experience, which could help us improve the scanning process. Was it certain products that were missed, or was it always an issue with a specific retailer? Please contact us at btfe.app@genmills.com and let us know.

I really like the method of scanning receipts rather than the old method of collecting actual box top coupons and turning them in. (I'm sure the schools, teachers and parents all agree as well!) The receipt scanning has made it easier to be a active in it myself, and I feel good that I can help the schools.

What a horrible App! Constant error uploading receipt. I went to the store and literally bought 24 items of box tops & error after error. I went to digital after shopping again and nothing. Then went back to scanning after shopping AGAIN & it recognized 1 box top. I annotated the missing 8 items & forgot the 5 cans of soup. I went back & I could not edit. Tried to contact support, got instructions instead. I'm in NY supporting Grandkids in Wa state. This is ridiculous! OUT 41 OF 42 BOX TOPS!!!
