ProOnGo Expense Tracks Your Spending, Simplifies Expense Reports
ProOnGo Expense Tracks Your Spending, Simplifies Expense Reports is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
I’ll be honest: I’ve never had to fill out an expense report. Still, the name alone conjures up horrific promises of tedium, hassle, and frustration; who wants to manually keep track of receipts and the like?
ProOnGo’s latest app, ProOnGo Expense, aims to bring time-saving smartphone goodness to expense reports. The app’s main feature is a “receipt reader”—take pictures of your receipts, send them to ProOnGo’s servers, and they’ll convert the images into text and send that data back to your app. Instead of manually punching in numbers, you can just take pictures of the receipts. ProOnGo Expense can also calculate mileage on a trip, using the iPhone’s GPS functionality.
Once you have all your expenses documented, you can finish off your expense report. ProOnGo Expense can export in a variety of data types, including .XLXS (Excel 2007), XML, and QuickBooks Online.
Though the app is listed as free, you’ll need a subscription after using your first 10 Receipt Reads. Subscriptions range from $0.99 to $4.99 per month. For three bucks a month you get 30 Receipt Reads and unlimited Expense Reports. ProOnGo also has another app, ProOnGo Business Card Reader, which utilizes the same general process…take a photo, have the company’s servers analyze it, and then receive the text. If you have unused Receipt Reads from your subscription, you can use them with the Business Card Reader, too.
Oh, and if you’re not completely dedicated to the iPhone? ProOnGO Expense is available on Android, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile phones, too. Be sure to watch the video to see ProOnGo in action!

ShootReceipt: Expense Tracking Made Easy
ShootReceipt: Expense Tracking Made Easy is a post from: Best Iphone App Review Website
Price: $0.99 Rating 10/10 by Nancy Jones
Collecting receipts for business trips can be a hassle. Wouldn’t it be easier if you could just collect a few basic facts, take a picture of the receipt and forget it? Well, there’s good news – a new app, ShootReceipt, developed by Endeavour Software Technologies, P. Ltd, gives you all the expense tracking functionality that you could want and is very easy to use. ShootReceipt puts an end to searching through all your bags for receipts and then spending hours organizing the information for your accounting department.
The first thing you do is create an “Account.” This could be the name of your business trip or client. You enter a start date, end date, the currency you will be using (160+ are included) and you an option to add a note. The note is just free-form text; you can add anything you want. It could be a reminder to collect a certain type of receipt or a warning that some particular expense is not allowed.
Once you have your account set up, you click on it and start adding transactions. For each transaction you fill out a name (restaurant name, city, etc.) date, payment mode (cash, credit/debit card or check), amount, category (accommodations, air, meals, entertainment, etc.) and any notes you might want. Then you put your receipt on something flat and click photo receipt. The camera opens up; you center the receipt and click to capture the photo. You have an opportunity to use the photo or retake it. I know this is going to be obvious, but pristine, non-wrinkled receipts are easier to capture.
Now, all that is impressive and the app would have been worth the money (maybe even more) without any extra features. The real WOW factor comes in when you email the information to yourself, or your accounting department. You get images of each receipt and an Excel sheet that organizes your expenses by category. You will need either a Gmail or hotmail account to send the information.
ShootReceipt is designed for business use, but that’s not to say you couldn’t use it in your personal life. When I told some friends about this app, they immediately recognized the value from a business point of view, but suggested other uses like Christmas spending or keeping track of everyday personal expenses. How much money do you spend on coffee each month? Or, if you start a home improvement project, this would be an easy way to keep track of the expenses. I think that once you have this app you’ll think of more and more ways to simplify and organize your expense tracking.
ShootReceipt is compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch and requires iPhone OS 2.2.1 or later. Note: Since the iPod Touch does not have a camera, you will not be able to capture an image of the receipt and that feature will be disabled.
