Add a "bailed" option
for expenses when someone decides to not participate on a group, to split what they paid as an expense for everyone else.
2 votesInteresting suggestion! I can see how this would be useful in some unfortunate situations. For now, you could try adding a “Bailed” expense, where the person who owes the money “paid” and everyone else splits the cost.

can total Owes you amount be in other color rather light green
can total Owes you amount be in other color rather light green? and split among groups in light green?
2 votesSorry for the trouble! I’ll pass on a note about this – that number will probably stay green, but we might be able to make it a bit darker.

Thanks for the suggestion! There’s not any way to do this from our mobile apps right now, but there are a few possibilities on our website – if you go to a group, you can either pull up a printable summary (click the “view printable summary” link above each month’s expenses) or export your bills to a spreadsheet (click the settings icon at the top of the right sidebar, then click “Export as spreadhsheet”). Hope that helps a bit for now!

Make it easier to change a user in a group
Hi there! I encountered a problem where I made a typo in someone's email address, then added a bunch of expenses, and then Splitwise wouldn't let me change the user because she wasn't "settled up." I tried deleting the user from the group and adding the correct user, but it said I couldn't edit the expenses because there was a deleted member. Eventually I had to delete the entire group and start over.
2 votesVery sorry for the trouble! If a group member hasn’t logged in yet, you should be able to update their email address from the group settings page on our website, or from the friend settings screen on our mobile app. We’re working on some improvements to make this clearer, especially on mobile, so I apologize for all the unnecessary confusion!

send out a bit of details while simplifying debts.
bravo for all your efforts team! we have been using the app for a long period of time now. A couple weeks back you guys introduced a logic that would simplify/adjustdebts accordingly. While most of auch simplifications are trivial, some are not! And the intimation mail only mentions that splitwise has adjusted debts, I request you guys to add a set of details in the same mail, which may include who all were included and before/after of debt amouts. I am also a developer, I guess this would not be a hefty change ;-) Thanks guys, keep rocking!
2 votesThanks for the suggestion! We’d love to include better details when simplifying debts, but it’s actually surprisingly hard to show those details in an intelligent way :) The math is very simple, but we’ve found that showing the complete data often confuses people – especially in very old groups, where the “unsimplified” totals might include thousands of dollars of payments to each other (which all cancel each other out).
Still, we definitely want to show more information! Hopefully we’ll be able to try a few new designs this year and find something that works. Until then, apologies for the inconvenience!

Add the possibility to register via facebook or G+
As per the subject
2 votesSorry for the trouble! Our Android app currently supports G+ login, and we’re looking at adding Facebook login to our iPhone app. For now, if you have an existing account with Splitwise that you created with FB or G+, you can still log in by following the steps here: http://feedback.splitwise.com/knowledgebase/articles/111323-how-do-i-log-in-with-facebook-connect-on-the-split

change the verbiage that states "you borrowed $xx.xx" in monthly statement emails to "you were billed". more accurate, less offensive.

Some Enhancement suggestions
Hi,
I am using splitwise for months now. it is very good tool to split the expenses.
I guess few more features would be even more useful for the daily users like me. Below are some of the features i can think of
We are using to split the expenses made for Apartments, trips etc. Though we can able to know How much we owe and owed, there is no option for us to find the total expenses made in that particular Trip or Particular group. it would be great, if you could add the feature of total expenses for…
2 votesThanks for the message! Here are a few quick responses:
1) Yep, we definitely want to do a better job of showing totals! Hopefully that’s something you’ll see in the near future.
2) Actually, you can already export to Excel from our website: just choose a group or friend, then click the settings button at the top of the right sidebar and choose “Export as spreadsheet”. We’re working on bringing this feature to our mobile apps, too.
3) If you click on an expense to view its details, then it should give you a history of all edits made to that expense – if the cost was changed, if people were added or removed, etc. You can also see a brief history of all changes by going to the “Recent activity” screen, which shows all recent changes in your account.
4) Other people have also asked for the ability to…

Give us Option to Add Tentative figures without syncing
Kudos to the Website Design accessibility and the whole idea for creating this kind of a website.
One suggestion :
Give us an option to add tentative figures or figures which are too small to be added directly but can be posted after accumulating together
For eg to explain with a hypothetical situation;
Salt - Rs 20 can be added and kept aside without syncing.( Keep in Reserve )
Once I buy Sugar Rs 60 etc
I can accumulate together and make entry as
Salt & Sugar - 80
etc2 votesThanks for your kind words about Splitwise and for providing your suggestion.
We’ve thought about this a bit, but we worry that it’ll get confusing and add extra work — people might forget they added a ‘pending’ bill, never add it to their ‘real’ ledger, or their friend will add it in the meanwhile and there will be duplicates.
May I ask why you wouldn’t just want to add “Salt 20 Rs” to Splitwise right away? It’s seems that it’d be as much work as adding the ‘pending’ expense, and then going back later to ‘really’ add it. Is it about not wanting to ‘spam’ friends with emails about expenses added?
Thanks!

"Pay all" or auth queue when settling up
When I settled up I owed 3 different people. They all take Venmo. I had to go through "Settle Up" 3 times, each time hitting "Settle Up", then "Venmo" again, then authenticating w/ Venmo again - each time, it was just doing the top payment off the list.
Should either be a way to bulk-process, or, if not supported by their API, at least do a queue so it prompts me for the next person I owe.
2 votesThanks for the feedback Andy! I understand why this would be useful. You’re right — Venmo API wouldn’t support this — but I will bring the idea of queueing payments up on our side next time the team discusses ‘Settle Up’.
Cheers, Zoe

simplify "add a bill" when you are always splitting with the same person
I only split bills with one person - so it's annoying to have to designate the payee every time I add an expense. I'd love to just be able to set my one payee and it auto fills or just eliminates that question when I have an expense.
2 votesThanks for the suggestion, and sorry for the trouble! I’ll pass this on and see if it’s something we want to add in the future. For now, we’re working on some design tweaks to make the “Add bill” form a little simpler, so hopefully you’ll see some of those improvements in the near future.

Sorry for the trouble! Yep, this annoys me too :) I think we’re hoping to do some web cleanup work later this summer and fall, so I’ll add this to our list of possible improvements.

Sync friends with iOS Contacts
Currently, app friend will not display changes in name of friends, or additional email addresses if added recently.
But such a great app! 5 stars!
2 votesThis is an interesting idea. Might solve some of the issues cause when a friend picks a silly name on Splitwise that makes things confusing.

Add option of auto adjustment to the bills like deposits/furniture bills when a new person is added to a flat/apartment group
Add option of auto adjustment to the bills like deposits/furniture bills when a new person is added to a flat/apartment group.
Currently if a new person is added, we have to edit the bills (like initial deposit,furniture etc) manually.
Also need an option to manage deposits rather than expense bills2 votesThere’s not really a good automated way to handle this, though we agree there are some common cases that are pretty annoying. Deposits you can currently do on the website with the reimbursement split type.

to tag a friend in the comment
able to tag a friend in comment, so he can be notified if someone sees any problem in the commented splitwise sheet
2 votesThanks for the suggestion! That definitely makes sense :) I’d love to improve our commenting system sometime later this year or early next year, so I’ll pass on your feedback!

Put some padding at the bottom of the main view
it's too hard to expand/unexpand expenses when they are all the way at the bottom, because your window get scrolled up if you collapse them. it's just confusing, try it and you'll see
2 votesI just checked and the view does scroll up a bit when you click ‘Show more’ in the ‘All expenses’ view on the website. I’ve reported this to the team, and they’ll definitely add this to their bug list. Is this what you were referring to?

Use accounting notation for amounts
Instead of seeing "XXX owes you Rp. 976543023.00"
I should see "XXX owes you Rp. 976,543,023.00"
Much easier to read !2 votesThanks for the interesting suggestion! I agree, this definitely makes the amounts much more readable. This is something we would consider in an upcoming version.

Notify amount due depending on specified amount
User can select specified amount in there app settings. if any of his/her friend exceeded that amount (owe or lent) they should get notification.
2 votesThanks for the suggestion! I can see how this would be useful, so I’ll pass on the suggestion. I know we’d love to make some updates to the way we do reminders/messaging!

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,

Facebook Group integration
It would be wonderful if Splitwise could integrate with a Facebook Group so that all members of a group became part of a Splitwise group too.
2 votesI’ll pass on the suggestion! For now, you could try using the “share an invite link” function, which gives you a link that anyone can use to join the group. On the web, you can get this link by going to the group’s settings page, then clicking on “Send your friends an invite link” above the list of group members. Hope that helps!
