VAT Refund App
Looking for feedback on using one of the VAT refund apps available for iPhone. I see there are a few options and was wondering if folks liked them. How easy and reliable are they?
Also I've found different minimum purchase amounts posted online. Some sites say 100€ others say 175€ for France.
Thanks all.

Personally, I would go the usual route...get your cash back in person before you leave. You need to find a place that will do that. they hand over your cash refund and all you need to do is get a stamp at the airport in the country from which you are departing the "zone."
I did this in Madrid about a month ago, so easy and so nice to have the cash in hand!
100euro sounds too low.

this site, though aimed at the UK tells you the rules:
https://wise.com/gb/blog/vat-refund-france
€100 purchase in a single shop. You get 12% back.

Thanks hetismij2: I did not realize the bar was as low as that.....it's wonderful to have that euro cash in hand to keep for a future trip!
