Show HN: RecBox.io

I wanted to get two things from building an App

1) I wanted to learn how to build and deploy an app with react-native and google cloud.

2) Also, I recently purchased an item in a department store and gave my personal email address and I received my receipt as expected. But I also received a load of emails about promotions over the coming weeks which cluttered my inbox.

My App can be found here:

https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/recbox-io/id1378437194

and

    Are my receipts shared with advertisers? The app actually looks pretty useful, but I'm a little worried about that.

    I'd suggest either a more descriptive name ("rec" being ambiguous) or a better icon with more than just the name.
