We’d definitely like to do this! It’s unlikely to happen any time in the next few months (it takes a lot of work to properly and securely integrate with banks), but hopefully it’s something we can consider in the future.

We’re definitely interested in adding more payment options! Unfortunately, some of the more well-known options (Apple Pay, Android Pay) don’t currently allow third-party apps to send person-to-person payments, so we haven’t been able to add them yet, but we’re hopeful that those companies will open up their APIs in the future. And non-US payment providers are definitely on our to-do list too! :)

We do plan to integrate more payment methods beyond paypal, but will be doing it based on how many votes it gets on the forum here.

We don’t currently have plans to transfer money directly through Splitwise. We do integrate with PayPal and Venmo in the US, and we just integrated with Paytm for our Indian users, these allow you to make transfers to other users if you’ve connected with your bank account. We hope to continue to integrate with other payment providers in the future!

Great idea, leaving it under review since we tend to be pretty conservative about adding new settings. Thanks for submitting!

Hmm…interesting! I’ll pass on this feedback – I haven’t heard much about people adding transactions on Splitwise that aren’t actually IOUs or payments.

For now, your best bet is probably to edit your rent expense, so that each flatmate’s share reflects the actual amount they’ve been paying (including the gift). So if everyone pays $500/mo normally, and flatmate #1 is paying an extra $100 on flatmate #2’s behalf, you could edit the bill to say that flatmate #1’s share is $600 and flatmate #2’s share is $400. Then, when each person pays their adjusted share, there should be no remaining debt between the two of them. Hope that helps for the time being!

Sorry for the trouble! Not many people use 2+ currencies, which is why this has gone neglected until now, but we’d definitely like to improve it. We’ll probably start by simply showing one currency on the charts screen (and ignoring expenses in other currencies), then later move on to either showing multiple charts or doing actual currency conversion. Until then, apologies for the inconvenience!

Thanks for the suggestion – I’ll pass it on! I can see how this would be useful for Splitwise users who have a large number of friends.

Sorry for the trouble! Our charts could definitely use some improvement, and we’re planning to redo them in the near future – I’ll see if we can keep the colors consistent when we do that.

We hope to add multiple phone number support in the future as more and more people have multiple numbers but would like only a single Splitwise account.

Thanks for the suggestion – I definitely understand how this would be useful. I’ll add it to our list of possible improvements for future updates.

Thanks for the suggestion! I can see how this would be useful for groups with “dummy” members (though we do generally encourage people to include email addresses when adding other group members, so that those other people can simply log in to Splitwise themselves). A view-only mode isn’t on our roadmap yet, but I’ll add it to our list of possible improvements for the future.

Interesting – definitely a good thought. I’ll bring this up at our next team meeting. It probably won’t be a high priority, but it might catch somebody’s interest :)

This would be a great feature to eventually add to Splitwise Pro. We can’t make any promises but we will see if it can be added to the roadmap.

Cool idea! Can’t promise a specific timeline, but it makes sense. Thanks George

I’m sorry that we don’t support Chinese yet!
Preparing for character based languages is a big task and we’re a small team so it’s not something we can promise soon. However, it is something we’d love to add at some point!

Definitely makes sense! We’re working on better ways of settling up across both personal debts and group debts, because we know it’s a pain in the neck right now :) We hope to have new features to help with that soon!

I can see how that might be a bit tricky to find – very sorry for the trouble! I’ll add this to our list of possible improvements for future updates.

Our only feature list for Splitwise Pro is here: https://secure.splitwise.com/pro/subscribe

I realize that’s a pretty basic list, without much explanation – sorry about that! Splitwise Pro is still very simple (that list is pretty much all of the features it includes), so we haven’t been pushing it very hard. Hopefully when our Pro version is more polished, we’ll make a more polished details page to match :)
