Crowcery
Crowcery is actively developed. When a real receipt is read wrong, the cause gets fixed, and the fix is listed here. Every change you could notice in the app, newest first.
Last updated September 29, 2026.
On Loblaws-banner receipts, a sale printed as a price with a limit and a regular price (for example $7.00, limit 2, regular $9.50) now shows the regular price and the amount you saved on that item. What you paid is unchanged.
The small recycling fee printed under electronics or drink containers on Loblaws-banner receipts was left out, so the items came up a few cents short of the subtotal. It now appears as its own line and the receipt adds up.
When one digit of an item's barcode was faded or cut off at the edge of the photo, the reader used to skip that whole line, price included, and the receipt came out short. The item is now kept with its name and price.
On Loblaws-banner receipts the $0.00 PC Optimum stamp line (digital or physical) is bookkeeping, not a purchase. It used to appear as an item in the list; it is now left out, so the item count matches what you bought.
The website and the guide pages now carry the Crowcery icon, so it shows in browser tabs, bookmarks and next to the pages in search results instead of a blank placeholder.
A screenshot of a receipt from the Costco website marks every line with Y or N instead of the letters printed in the warehouse. The app used to find no items on those; it now reads them, applies the tax marks, and removes the membership number from the stored text.
On Walmart receipts from Saskatchewan, items marked C (prepared food such as a hot chicken) carry both GST and PST. The app now knows that, so a correctly read receipt no longer shows a tax-rate warning.
Crowcery reads store receipts with item lines. If a photo looks like a fuel-pump receipt or a bare card-payment slip, the app now says so before uploading and lets you decide, instead of saving a single line with warnings.
Dollarama receipts print the bag fee with a short code instead of a barcode, and the app used to skip that row, so the items came up a few cents short of the subtotal. It is now read like any other item.
The privacy policy now explains that when a receipt is read wrong and we look into it, that one receipt may be examined with an AI tool made by Anthropic. The app asks you to review the updated policy.
If the photos in one upload are from two different stores, the app now shows them side by side and lets you keep the photos of one store with a single tap.
Receipts with a lot of small print are now read at a higher resolution, so prices and discounts are less likely to be misread.
If the photos in one upload come from two different stores, the app asks before uploading. A stray slip from another store no longer makes the receipt harder to read.
One photo is the normal path. For a receipt too long for one photo, a picture guide now shows how to take it in overlapping parts.
If a scan has no total, the app says so before uploading, so you can add the missing part.
Instant rebates now land on the item they belong to, and container deposits are counted as charges.
Fortinos now gets the same detailed reading as the rest of the Loblaws family.
The receipt date is no longer taken from the wrong slip, and the app asks before uploading photos that look like they come from different stores.
A receipt that prints a single TOTAL TAX row no longer loses it.
Barcode scanning is only offered on items it can work for, and the app now says why when a scan is refused.
The province is now read from the store address printed on the receipt, so taxes and deposits are checked against the right rules more often.
Receipts from stores we have not tuned for yet now get their subtotal and tax read, not only the items.
