Recently I had the need and urge to utilize an expense/receipt tracking app for Android that would offload my paper trail....out of the 10 to 15 that I tried only three really stood out based on my criteria which was
1) Simple and Clean interface
2) highly accurate OCR and
3) Export to CSV
.... I did not need was a rich expense tracking app for a wide range of categories or rich reporting so here's what I found ...here are my top three

.... I did not need was a rich expense tracking app for a wide range of categories or rich reporting so here's what I found ...here are my top three
1) HelloReceipts
These guys had the most accurate OCR I tested (batch of 10 varying receipts)this app even picked up dates and handwriten amounts, and tax & auto categorized! compared to the others the clean interface, basic export functionality, clean mobile and web interface and highly accurate OCR made this simple tool my go 2 expense tracking app ...great for any small biz or personal use! No frills just works
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intelliware.helloreceiptandroid
2) Receipt by Waze
This app was a close second very good OCR the only downfall was the high number of categories and the defaults were a little arduous to deal with that might be better for it growing company and someone who wants really detailed categorization of receipts
3) NumReceipts.
And third I pick this over the most popular receipt app expensify because of the unique Rich interface with a lot of visualisations including charts graphs and expense to income comparison allowing the user to compare expenses and income and for my testing the OCR was better than expensify
