wow guys thanks a lot for wonderful comments. I appreciate it. I fully agree that the interface is sluggish and boring since it has only 2 colors. I used jqm + phonegap to build this app. I really made a big mistake by using these technology. I should have just built it natively.

I have provided API for merchants to send receipt to their customer as well, which has an example here: http://binceipt.com/webservice_guide.html

20 receipts for $1.99 is way too expensive man and even more expensive the paper receipt. I guess 200 receipts for $0.99 make more sense.

$100 for my source code? In your f*cking wet dream, nanijoe and you can shove that $100 bill into your ass.

I am confident that there is a market for this as there are already more than 20 active users.

I am currently converting binceipt to native app.

Change the name of your app to "Send Receipts Via Email" or some variant. Also, the "1000 receipt" credit for $0.99 makes no sense..either make it a paid app or sell something like 20 receipts for $1.99 via IAP. Does your free version have any ads? Anyway, if you want to give up on the app, I'll happily buy the source code from you for $100

the name you suggested is really sucks !

There are three kinds of people in this world- those who can count, and those who can't. I may trust a retailer with my money to make a purchase, but I won't trust that retailer with my e-mail address to get the receipt. Customers are more comfortable with the paper receipt because it's fast and requires no further time commitment associated with the purchase. If that makes their purchase 10% more expensive it's wort…

you are a very traditional human/alien and stubborn as well who doesn't accept new technology.

Question: why would anyone want to use this? Who uses it or is the ideal market? Inputting data on a touch interface is terrible, so filling out several forms looks really tedious.

same fucking question asked by IBM fucker to Apple Steve Bozniak.
