Comparison
Our real competitor isn't another app. It's a compartment.
What CabSnap is for
CabSnap photographs each receipt the moment you get it and keeps it readable until tax time.
The one flaw
The glovebox is free, works offline, never needs an update — but it has one fatal flaw: thermal receipts fade to blank, and a blank receipt proves nothing.
A cab in July is hotter than almost anywhere else that paper will ever sit, and after a few weeks the fuel slip is still perfectly, faithfully there — just white.
So the glovebox does not lose receipts. It preserves them into a form with nothing on them. It is the world's most reliable system for storing blank rectangles.

The offer
Nobody is asking you to stop putting receipts in there. Put them in there. Take a photo first, and the compartment can go back to doing what it is genuinely excellent at, which is holding things you have already dealt with.
Questions
Yes. Not another app — the glovebox. Most owner-operators are not choosing between receipt apps; they are choosing between an app and a pile of paper that has worked well enough so far.
Then keep using it. It is free, it never needs charging, and it has no privacy policy. The only thing it cannot do is still be readable in April, which unfortunately is the one thing it is being asked to do.
Yes. Under Rev. Proc. 97-22 the IRS accepts electronic copies of paper records, provided the image is legible, matches the original, can be printed on request, and is stored securely. This is a recordkeeping answer, not tax advice — talk to your tax preparer about your own situation.
