Ibotta has been around for a while, but the developers have added new features that are handy for savings during back-to-school shopping.

The app works by offering cash back from in-store and online purchases. Users can either scan it at the cash register or upload a receipt.

According to Ibotta, the average user gets $150 back a year.

A new feature in the app shoppers will find handy is called “pay with Ibotta."

It works similar to a gift card and allows you to pay the participating retailer directly through the app at checkout.

Earn up to 10% cash back on your entire purchase at more than 30 stores and restaurants, including Sheetz, The Children's Place, Old Navy, Banana Republic, Gap, Addidas, Barnes and Noble and more.
