Customer service simply does not exist. There is no way to reach out regarding account issues - the website is empty of real content, there are no representatives, and not even a working bot. When you manage to track down an email address through roundabout ways and send a request, you just get an automated reply pointing to a non-existent chatbot or deleted web pages. A company dealing with funds and sensitive data with zero point of contact has no business being on the app stores.

Practically useless. You still need to do all the tax refund process manually, so I don't get the point in this app. Plus, it's just not recognizing lots of receipts, even though the ID was correct. Shame.
