Step 1 — Stop the next charge
- On iPhone or iPad: Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions.
- Select Smart Receipts: Expenses & Tax → Cancel Subscription.
- Check that it now says Expires and not Renews. If it still says Renews, it is not canceled.

Spent 20 or so minutes struggling to get the app to recognize that I was scanning receipts (the whole point of the app, seems like it shouldn’t be a struggle). After scanning 30 or so receipts, I accidentally misclicked and ‘no’ to scanning a new receipt and instead of saving the receipts I already scanned, it just erased everything or didn’t save it. Regardless, pointless app since it can’t do what it’s literally n…
The basic free version used to be fantastic if you just needed an easy way to compile receipts into one pdf. With every update they continue to degrade the free option, make it less user friendly, and try to push you into a subscription. I would have considered subscribing if I needed more features, but now I’ll switch to a different app completely rather than pay them a dime. Such a sleazy business strategy to mak…
I can’t get information about the product, the differences in the plans, etc. I can see several subscription offers. What’s the difference? Can’t find that info. Tried finding out more on my Mac, since that’s an easier interface for sending email. Entered a support ticket in their interface, which I can access without logging in. I should say tried to enter as after I typed up the questions I was told I was blocked…

Questions
Can I get a refund after I already canceled Smart Receipts: Expenses & Tax?
Yes. Canceling stops future renewals but does not refund a charge that already went through. You request that separately at reportaproblem.apple.com, and "I was charged after I canceled the subscription" is the reason to select.
How long do I have to ask for a refund?
Apple generally expects refund requests within 90 days of the charge. Ask as soon as you notice it — requests on recent charges are approved more often.
Apple declined my request. Is that the end?
No. A first decline is common and is often automated. You can submit the request again with more specific facts and ask for review by a senior advisor. If it is declined again, you can dispute the charge with your card issuer.
Will I lose access to Smart Receipts: Expenses & Tax if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. Canceling only stops the next renewal.
