Yes. Payfriend is not in the App Store or Google Play. You install it from the browser, so it gets its own icon and opens full screen.
You can scan receipts, swipe bookkeeping and reconciliation, and get push when something is waiting.
Open app.payfriend.io and sign in. Do not use the marketing site payfriend.io.
In the app, the Payfriend as an app card sits under Settings → Notifications. Pick the path for your device.
