the "me" requirement for quick-add is inconvenient
Hi, I've been using splitwise for years now, as a replacement for Billmonk. I might not be your typical user since I use it to keep track of what family members owe me, and we never split bills. Thus when I use "quick add", I don't understand why if I write, "sonya owes 54 for dress" it automatically splits the bill and I have to manually un-split it. I have to remember to write, "sonya owes ME 54 for dress" to avoid splitting. If I say she owes me 54, then she owes me 54, not 27. Thanks.
1 voteThanks for the suggestion! This does sound like something we should look into.

Allow login to multiple splitwise accounts
I have a splitwise account for US and 1 for India so I can easily work with my friends back home in settling up birthday gifts and charity work. It would be great if I can have both the splitwise accounts login able for my phone app easily so different currencies balance from different account would show up.
11 votesHi there,
Multiple accounts is very difficult to build on our end, so we’re not likely to implement that. We do our best to allow you to create separate groups and use multiple currencies, etc whenever you need to from the same account.
If you have any complaints about the way that works, feel free to email us in private at support@splitwise.com.
If you’d like to merge your two Splitwise accounts and keep both emails attached, please email us at support@splitwise.com and we can also do that for you! As of just a couple weeks ago, we’ve created the ability to support multiple email addresses on the same account, which you can access from your user settings.

This makes a lot of sense. Personally, I’m not happy with the experience of adding people to a group, and you can expect to definitely see some improvements in this area in a future release.

Export top level category name to CSV
Presently only the lowest level category name gets exported.

Use title of group for venmo note when settling expenses with venmo
instead of using the default "For expenses on splitwise.com"
8 votesThis is a good suggestion. We’ll bring it up and see if the group’s name makes a better default for the majority of our users. Fortunately you can always change this in the payment settings in the meantime.

Add possibility for paypal.me link
The new service from paypal offers new possibilities to transfer money more easily to freinds and family with a link like https://www.paypal.me/username/25.43
It makes sense to include the possibility to settle up via this link or to generate the link as such for further sharing. (by adding the paypal.me-username to the splitwise-account)
36 votesInteresting. I haven’t seen this yet. It’s unlikely we’ll be able to support this as our control over how the PayPal code works is limited, but it’s definitely worth looking into.

Three decimals for certain currencies
Please allow 3 decimal currencies to be stored (e.g. Omani Riyal, Kuwaiti Dinar, etc) in Splitwise.
37 votesUnfortunately we’ll need to make some technical changes on our backend before we can support 3-decimal currencies, but hopefully this is something we can work on in the future!

remember last state
Im using this mainly for recording my friend owe money, but every time i add new bill i have to change the state of split to owe
2 votesHi there,
Thanks for the suggestion. Sounds like you are looking for Splitwise to default the split type (equal split, IOU etc) to the last split you did with that person. That makes logical sense, but I would have concerns about changing the behavior away from “always defaults to split equally” since we want Splitwise to be as predictable as possible to avoid accidental mistakes.
I’ll leave this suggestion open to see how many other users would be interested in this approach. Thanks for posting!
Best,

Tags
Ability to create tags for certain expenses, e.g "Moving costs", "Pets", "Reimbursable", "Sunday trip" when between two people especially
30 votesWhile we aren’t actively planning to implement tags currently, there are some things that you could essentially use as tags: we have a category for every expense such as transportation – bus, taxi or utilities – gas, power.
You can also create separate group if you want to have expenses for lets say a trip, an apartment or a club to be separate from regular expenses.

Improve offline mode in iPhone app
Right now, when you add an expense on iPhone when you don't have a working internet connection, the app tries to save the expense for 30 seconds before giving up and adding it later. Please make the app sync expenses in the background instead of making me wait until it gives up to add another expense.
26 votesWe’d definitely like to overhaul our iOS offline support at some point. It’s not actually on our roadmap yet, but hopefully it’s something we can start working on soon.

Enhancement to reminders
Hi,
I would like to see some improvements around the reminders functionality.
The very first time I created an expense account in Splitwise I had no idea that it sends out monthly reminders. I couldn't find any note for such emails that will be sent out (when I created the expenses group).The monthly reminder thing came as a good surprise and is great, but I think it will be nice if we have some more control over scheduling reminders.
For example some friends in a group require frequent followups as compared to others.
So within the group created, I…16 votesThanks for the suggestions! More granular control and making reminders smarter is something we are thinking about improving over time.
For now, we automatically send out a monthly summary email each month that includes all of a person’s balances. You can also manually send a balance reminder by going to your friend’s page and choosing the “Send reminder” option (located under the settings menu on our website, and under the “More” menu on our mobile apps).

Add support for bills recurring every n weeks (where n is a positive integer)
I can currently add weekly and fortnightly recurring bills, but not every 3 or 4 weeks.
39 votesThanks for the suggestion – this definitely makes sense! Our recurring bill system is pretty basic right now, but hopefully we’ll have a chance to spruce it up in the future. It’d be great to support more flexible kinds of bills (every 3 weeks, the last Thursday of every month, things like that).

Payments through MercadoPago
MercadoPago is the largest Payments platform in latín-america. I think integrate its wallet with splitwise would be awesome and very usefull.!
7 votesWe continually evaluate payment providers to integrate with but we cannot create integrations will all providers. We make attempts to integrate the most popular ones so please check back here to see see the status of your provider.

Transfer money directly through Splitwise
Why you are planning to add square cash as an payment option, why you are using third party tools. Instead, do you have any future strategy to implement your own payment option, somewhat exactly as square cash. By this, people will trust in your own application more than someone else. For example, If I have to give some money to my friend, than either I give cash or will send money online by bank transfer or square cash. In either option I have to go and create a transaction in split wise and when my friend give it back than…
28 votesSorry for the trouble! It’d definitely be interesting to transfer money directly through Splitwise (without using PayPal/Venmo/Square Cash/etc). We haven’t built that feature so far because there are a lot of regulations around transferring money, and we’d need to do a lot of technical and legal work, but it’s on our list of possible things to do in the future.

Implement reverse payment direction for two people
For both web an mobile, please implement a quick way to reverse the direction of a payment, when only two people are involved. Right now, if I select a person and click "Settle up" to record a payment, if I want to change the default me to him payment, I have to change both 'participants' instead of just clicking the arrow.
11 votesThis would be a nice little UX improvement. We’ll look into it.

Show transactions in the target language of each user
I usually transact with a user that has splitwise in Spanish. When I make a transaction, the other person sees it in English and I see theirs in Spanish. I think I should see all in English, and them all in Spanish. This also affects the web version
3 votesSorry for the trouble! We try to use your specific language setting as much as possible, though there are a few places where our system currently only supports one language at a time (mainly, expense comments). If there are any particular places where this is driving your crazy, let me know by commenting here or by emailing us at support@splitwise.com. Hopefully we can keep making progress on this over the course of this year!

Add a Round Up button
It'd be nice to have a Round Up! button. In Malaysia, the smallest amount you can pay is RM0.05, not RM0.01 anymore.
11 votesSorry for the trouble! Yep, there are a few other currencies that work this way too – I’m not sure when we’ll get around to rounding off those currencies, but we know it’s somewhere we can improve. In the meantime, apologies for the inconvenience!

Make edits and new expenses easier to distinguish visually
One of the most confusing features of this great product is how similar edits to existing expenses and new expenses look. I think it would be better to make the link between the previous and the new edited expense more explicit (especially when renaming)
5 votesInteresting suggestion. We will discuss and see if we can balance multiple visual states without making the app more confusing.
