What do you like best about Circula?

I like the design of the web page. It looks modern and fancy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Circula?

+ User expirience - not intuitive.

I was struggling with creating a new expence. It was not intuitive, where I have to start. My plan was to create a folder for a trip and then add my expences there. In result I have got a separate folder and a separate expance of category 'trip'.

+ Translation

Expence category 'trip' is translated in German as 'Reise'. That's why I've called my expence 'Berlin - Munich', which is not correct. If I knew from the beginning, that the expence I'm creating is the full bundle of travel and daily rate refund (Tagespauschale), I would call it differently.

+ Missing feature

I could not rename my expence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It should make easier to manage expences recipes for employees and expences refunds for finance office of my company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
