    Thanks for the suggestion! Yep, this definitely makes sense – right now, we auto-detect certain words like “dinner”, but we don’t do any intelligent matching based on your past expenses. I’m not sure how technically involved this would be, but I’ll add it to our list of possible improvements for the future :)

    This doesn't seem to work for me... maybe I've misunderstood how you've implemented this though. I assumed it would use the same category as the most recent expense with the same description.

    I often buy groceries and in the description I type the name of the store I bought them from: "Billa". I then have to set the category to "groceries". The first time I do this, that makes sense (the category certainly isn't obvious from the expense description).

    However the next time I buy stuff from Billa, if I type "Billa" for the expense description, it would be great if Splitwise realised this is an expense that I've recorded previously and if it automatically detected/assigned the expense category (to be the same category that I used last time I entered an expense called "Billa").
