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.

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.
