No. Uber receipts are not downloaded from Uber’s dashboard. Receipts are downloaded from your email account. We will not be able to fetch any receipts if they are not in your email. Currently, we only support Gmail, Microsoft Emails (i.e Outlook, Hotmail, Live) or any email providers with IMAP (i.e Yahoo, Fastmail, iCloud etc.).

We are working on integrating other providers. Please refer our Roadmap for more information.

Our app can only download the receipts that have already been sent to you.

Ride Receipts PRO and Ride Receipts requires one license key per household. You may use it on two devices.

Security was our number one concern when building Ride Receipts. We decided that the best way to protect user data was to not store any! Therefore, Ride Receipts PRO and Ride Receipts do not store login credentials, emails, trip data, credit card info, or any other personal data. Sorry, we’re just not that interested! 😎

No emails are processed through our server and hence we have 0 visibility of how you are interacting with our app. All the job is done client side locally on your physical machine.

The only thing we want to know is how many people are using our products, so we track how many people buy and download our app.

Yes, Ride Receipts is verified by Google!

What does that mean?

Ride Receipts basically utilizes Google’s API but never shares data with any third party apps or even we don’t parse any data through our server. We do not store any of your email data whatsoever. Google verified that we are compliant with their usage policy and also not store or share any user data on our servers or with the third party.

If you have any questions on the verification process, please ask us at [email protected] Or look here and here at the official Google documentation.

When you access your email account via Ride Receipts PRO and Ride Receipts, no data is stored on our servers. Your data goes directly to your local machine (i.e. your computer). 🔍

If you do not have receipts from the time frame you have selected, the app will say, “No receipts have been found.” You can broaden your search and try again.

Please note that at this time Ride Receipts can only download receipts that are in the English language. If your receipts are in another language, unfortunately our app will not be able to detect them and it will say no receipts have been found.

📂This is a common issue on Windows. If the folders are empty this means the app doesn’t have “write access” on your machine and may be blocked by a firewall or antivirus. Depending on how your computer is set up, you may have to go to your settings to allow Ride Receipts to “run anyway.” If it’s still not working, try running the app as an admin user on your computer.

Unfortunately, not every receipt is the same, and our algorithm is not yet smart enough to catch every possible receipt data. We are proactively working on improving this process and providing you with as accurate data as possible. Thank you for your understanding. If expense report is something that you don’t need it then we recommend purchasing only Ride Receipts version.

We have tested fully with USA, Europe, India and Canada. If you find something is not working please email us at [email protected]

Lyft is only available at the moment in USA and Canada. Expense report are supported for both countries. But please note that we have tested receipts after 2016 year period since Lyft was launched in Canada in 2017.

Again we are proactively working on improving, but we need community’s help so we can provide accurate data as possible since we are not storing any emails. If you find any issues please email us at [email protected]

Yes! We are continuously looking for new improvements and also ideas for integrating new services. If you have any request for integration please email us at [email protected]. You can also follow our roadmap.

Due to limitations in user testing, we cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in the data provided. We try our best to dump data from email receipts as best as possible. If you need help using our app please get in touch and we would be happy to help.

Email providers other than Google and Microsoft needs IMAP settings in order to login to account. For IMAP email providers would need app-specific password instead of regular. Here is below link on how to get app-specific password for some email providers.
