I found the app very easy to use with no problems encountered. I don't often make major purchases abroad, so claiming back VAT has never been a consideration. However, because of the ease of reclaiming VAT using the app, I will certainly consider this in the future.

One of the highest processing fees in the world. Don't use it if the shop provides an alternative way (but usually the shop doesn't, very unfriendly to tourists).

This was too simple to believe, so much easier than global blue. I had questions and they responded quickly and actually gave me correct information. It was really a easy as taking a picture of the product and the receipt when i got home.
