My initial review (below) was negative, but the developer reached out to me and was very receptive to my issue. I found the wording of the in-app upgrade to be misleading, but they’ve offered to clarify it. As such, I’ve updated my review. The app still needs manual importing of receipts, but it is a really solid app and works well! I look forward to using it next time I eat out in a group. Original review: “IOU Pro” is not optional if you want to upload a receipt. The upgrade claims to unlock ‘unlimited’ receipt uploads, but the limit without paying is actually zero uploads. There is also no option for a lifetime unlock which unfortunately is a nonstarter for me.
I tried updating my previous “Has issues” review.. But, App Store won’t load it for me or allow me to delete it. So this is my UPDATE review- I downloaded a few different apps to use for my dinner events and this app is BY FAR the most accurate at reading receipts and doing the math! I left my previous review and reported some issues I found with splitting costs on line items and how the decimals move.. etc. And he responded immediately stating he will work on the issues and advise when complete. Even provided updates as he continued to work on the issues. And now both issues are resolved. And I love this app! Telling you- Best out there! I’ve tried them all. And frankly, if every app developer or support responded to feedback as quickly and actually fixed the issues like this developer did- We’d all have much better apps! So Eric also gets 5 stars in my book! I work as a software development project manager for manufacturing environments. I’d certainly hire Eric for my projects..
There are a couple issues I have had. One is that if you don't enter tax it pops up telling you to fix. I'm currently in Oregon where there is no tax so this is an issue. There are a few other minor issues but overall it is pretty awesome.
Do you hate putting an entire tab on your card, taking a picture of the receipt, and then calculating what everyone owes you? Then IOU is for you! Thi...
