Receipt Scan Pro Support

Getting Started

Before scanning, go to Settings and choose a Default Folder where your receipts will be saved as PDFs. Then tap Scan Receipt to capture one with the camera, or Import PDF to bring in a receipt you already have.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are my receipts saved?

Receipts are saved as PDFs to the folder you select in Settings. This can be any folder on your device, iCloud Drive, or another cloud storage app.

Does the app fill in the details for me?

Yes. After a scan, Receipt Scan Pro reads the receipt and automatically fills in the vendor, total, and date — including vendors you've never scanned before. Everything is filled in before you save, so you can review and correct anything that didn't read perfectly. It never overwrites something you've already typed.

Can I import receipts I already have as PDFs?

Yes. Tap Import PDF in the app, or share a PDF into Receipt Scan Pro from Mail, Files, or another app using the share sheet ("Copy to Receipt Scan"). Imported PDFs go through the same save flow and are kept exactly as-is. If a PDF you're importing is identical to one already in your folder, the app will let you know first.

How does the calculator work?

Tap the Total field when saving a receipt to open the built-in calculator. It uses cash-register style entry — the digits fill in from the right, so typing 1, 2, 3, 4 gives $12.34. You can add multiple line items and optionally apply a sales tax rate (set your rate in Settings).

How do I set up tags?

Go to Settings → Tags and add any categories you use (e.g. Medical, Travel, Office). When saving a receipt you can select a tag and optionally include it in the filename.

How do I find, rename, or delete a receipt?

Use the search bar at the top of the list to find a receipt by vendor, amount, tag, or date. Swipe a receipt right to rename it, or left to delete it. Deleting removes the PDF file from your folder.

What is the Reports tab?

The Reports tab shows what you've spent over a chosen period (this month, last month, this year, or all time), broken down by tag and by vendor — handy for taxes, budgets, and reimbursements. It's calculated from your saved receipts; nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Can I change the currency symbol or date format?

Yes. Go to Settings → Formatting to set your currency symbol and the date style used in filenames and totals. They default to your device's region.

Can I scan using Siri or Shortcuts?

Yes. Just say "Scan a receipt with Receipt Scan" to Siri, or add the Scan Receipt action to a Shortcut, and the app will open straight to the camera.

My receipts aren't showing in the list

Make sure a Default Folder is selected in Settings. If "Track app scans only" is enabled, only receipts scanned within the app will appear. Toggle it off to show all PDFs in your folder.
