JetSet Expenses App Reviews

I had landed in China when I found the application and was excited to get the it, but as soon as I entered my first report (adding my flight in USD and then getting ready to add an item for lunch in Beijing) I realized that I couldnt find the currency setting I was expecting to find. It was with increasing dissapointment I realized that due to spending 80% of my business traveling outside the US borders it was useless. The app does not handle multiple currencies, or even let you set a currency for a specific expense report. It does recognize the regional setting from the phone and uses that currency, but that is only of limited use. I hope this is something that BriteLite is looking to enhance, as the app is very good and has a lot of potential.

For the past few months, Ive used this app to manage my travel expenses. I dont use the picture receipt at all, because my travel department would not allow it, but it never crashed on mine. I dont exactly remember if I paid $10 for it, and Im sure I didnt, as I would never buy any app over $5, but I do think it is worth the $10. (There must have been a sale or discount or something when I bought it).

I bought JetSet simply to capture receipts and attach to expense reports logged into the company travel & expense system. Bad idea. JetSet is a great system to electronically file and manage expenses - if you dont have any alternative in your company - but not as a tool to capture expense receipts. You can capture expense receipts but when you e-mail the expense the receipt is missing, you have to dig into iPhoto library and pull it out. Might as well use the camera. Also it would be great if e-mailing expense reports went as XML or XLS attachment vs. text copied into the e-mail body; I dont think many people are going to go to the trouble of cutting and pasting from e-mail into Excel, despite the instructions. Going one step further, APIs to typical corporate T&E systems would be good as well, maybe there is an industry standard API out there. I suspect this is all coming in future releases. I will keep my copy of JetSet in anticipation of these new releases.

Needs a better intuative interface to know where youre at. + Main "report" screen verses + "report detail" is too similar. Both layout almost look identical, use the + again in the repert detail to get to the 15 different expense categories. Youre going to keep get complaints of it not working, and low ratings until you change the interface a bit so user knows they are a a different level.

I love the App. I just completed a $10,000+ expense report just using this App and Google docs. I would have lost over $1,000 of expenses without JetSet. Most of bad reviews seem to be regarding the first version. Version 1.1 was out when I bought and it has worked fine. I dont photograph receipts so I cannot comment on that function. JetSet permits you to have different expense projects running simultaneously. A total for each is kept as is a running grand total. Entries can be edited or changed, including changing the date, label, amount, etc. The default date is the current date, but you can change it so that you can enter expenses from the past. I exported to Google docs and the feature worked well. The resulting spreadsheet can be further edited if necessary or if you do not like the default layout. Ver. 1.2 will have ability to assign a payment type to a specific expense. Ver. 1.3 will add currency support.

Looked great until I realized it was a one currency app. Totally useless for Intl travel. Sorry I spent the 5 bucks

I have been looking and waiting for a good business-oriented expense tracker to hit the app store for a while now. In addition to trip folders and expense categories that make sense, this app also allows for easy emailing of tab-separated expenses via email, CSV export to GoogleDocs, and very smooth receipt photos. The whole thing is streamlined to be intuitive and quick, which is exactly what I want for entering expenses on the go. On a more personal note, there are only a few things I would love to see added in future releases. With these, this would be the perfect app for my travel expenses: - A "billable" yes/no field that I can check when entering receipts. (default yes?) - A "reimbursable" yes/no field that I can check at the same time, also defaulting to yes. - Separate totals in the reports, one for everything billable and one for everything reimbursable.

The most upsetting part for me was the inability to select a currency for each expense. At times I visit a few different countries before returning home and the inability to assign different currencies was a real bummer.

Good app except that you cant edit the currency used for each expense. For example, if you are on a business trip and use USD at the airport in the USA and get to Argentina and start using pesos, there is no way to change this. If you change the international settings in the iphone, then all the currency will show as pesos. Please fix.

The receipts image capture doesnt work and expense entries dont always save. I should have visited the developers website first - the latest entry is from March 2009!

Need the ability to choose different currencies in a trip!!!

When does v. 3.1 with currency support come out?

This app captures expenses well, but doesnt provide a reasonable way to get those expense out and into a submittable form. So, what good is it? Answer: None

Very useful app but the inability to upload to Goggle Docs is VERY frustrating. In spite of the updates on the support page, reports DONT properly upload. Please get this fixed soon! Emailing the reports is not a satisfactory solution.

I have used JetSet since 2009 and it meets my needs for tracking business trip expenses better than any other app I have tried. First, the interface makes it easy to enter everything on the fly. My Starbucks purchase is in the app before my coffee is ready! This is essential for me, especially when I dont get a receipt. This app has eliminated the unpleasant experience of entering numerous receipts at once. Second, the ability to identify an expense as reimbursable and/or billable is VERY helpful in my situation. The nature of my business travel is such that tagging an expense with billable or reimbursable assures that I know what I am owed and who owes it to me. I am not aware of any other app that includes these tags with their own running total. There are three areas where I would like to see improvement: 1) International currency handling would be a BIG plus for me (I currently convert and enter in my home currency which is a hassle) 2) The interface is well organized but could be a bit less garish (a very minor issue but I appreciate good graphic design) 3) The report exporting features are adequate but could be better

Wow! I have been using JetSet for years. The new 2.0 release has completely revamped the product. There are many things I like in this release. The modern looking user interface definitely brings such pleasure in using it. The workflow is very self-explanatory. It just took me a few minutes to master it. The multi-current support is thorough, accurate, and convenient. Although I have been waiting for this feature for a while, I feel it’s totally worth the wait. The report sharing is easier too. Just a few touches, the reports can be sent to email, Google Docs, and Dropbox. With JetSet’s photo receipts, I don’t need to worry about losing receipts anymore. Have you missed any expenses for reimbursement? It happened to me frequently before I started using JetSet. If you a traveler who needs to track expenses, look no further than JetSet!

Ive been using JetSet for a little over a year and I can sincerely say that it has provided a tool for organizing my expenses that has eluded me for more than a decade as a sales rep. Im sure Ive lost thousands of dollars from missing receipts or forgotten tips, subway rides, etc. JetSet helps me stay on top of expenses becuse its extremely flexible. You can use it on the fly -- in a taxi back to the office -- or when managing a batch of receipts collected over a week or two. Its flexible so you can use it to organize expenses by week or month, for a single trip, or you can allocate expenses against a sinlge accout (or set of accounts) and add to it for the duration of a project. The categories are useful and the misc category fills in gaps for everyting not listed. The dropbox and google docs features also make it flexible and it served me extremely well during tax season. Ive never written a review of an app before, but wanted to speak up about this one becuase, in all earnestness, this app helped me address a personal shortcoming and improve my ability to organize, and, ultimatly do my job better.

JetSet is the one app I have used consistently without ever trying any competing apps. My bookkeeper swears by it as well. Expenses are entered by pressing icons and them supplying the data press another button and transmit them to the office. Cloud storage is easy and quick as well.

New release is great improvement! It suits my needs wonderfully.

Ive owned JetSet for quite some time and was fortunate enough to participate in the Beta program for this latest version. As someone that travels almost every week, this program has become indispensable for me. The integration with Google Docs is now working again as well as the addition of Dropbox integration. If you are looking for a solid program to create trip reports where you are able to record your expenses quickly and efficiently, then JetSet is the perfect solution. Thanks also to the developer who has been very responsive to both my questions and feedback. A must have for frequent travelers.
