What do you like best about Circula?

Intuitive to use on the browser application on computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Circula?

Very unintuitive to use on the smartphone webapp application. The dropdown UI is bad and covers all other fields and causes the selection screen to jump.

Also there are straight up features, which I could not find on the mobile app, e.g. selection of the per diems for reimbursement.

Lastly, the self scan function does not work properly for any receipt in Japanese. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Circula solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solves the issue of me sending an email or making an excel sheet every time I need reimbursement.

It creates pain by having an unintuitive smartphone web app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Circula?

Circula impressed me right from the start. The intuitive operation makes the application a true delight. Finally, a tool where you don't have to go through a lengthy tutorial to understand it.

Circula's user interface is well thought out and clearly structured. All functions are easily accessible, and even when opening the program for the first time, it already feels familiar. This not only saves time but also ensures a pleasant user experience.

The absence of an annoying tutorial is, in my opinion, a significant plus. Circula proves that it's possible to develop an effective and powerful tool without overwhelming the user with lengthy explanations. This makes the software particularly user-friendly and appealing.

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with Circula and would recommend it to anyone looking for an easy-to-use solution. Intuitive, efficient, and without unnecessary complexity - that's exactly how every tool should be! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Circula?

Overall, I am satisfied with Circula, but I'd like to point out a minor issue I encountered. When canceling my submitted travel expenses, I initially had difficulty locating the "Cancel" button. It is positioned quite low in the window, and on a MacBook, it can be a bit challenging to access due to the frequent popping up of the menu.

This is certainly nitpicking at a high level, but it would be helpful if the accessibility of this function could be improved. Perhaps repositioning the "Cancel" button or optimizing the menu behavior on MacBooks could address this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Circula solving and how is that benefiting you?

Invoices are much easier to process as I am often on the road. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
