We aren’t planing to add support for custom categories in the near future. We’re considering better ways to allow people to sort expenses into categories other than the ones we’ve provided. In the meantime, if there are particular important categories you feel are missing, feel free to email us with a suggestion at support@splitwise.com.

Thanks for the suggestion! There is a very basic version of this feature on our website – click on a specific person in the left sidebar, then click the settings icon at the top of the right sidebar and choose “Consolidate debts with this person”. All your groups will be settled up, and the remaining balance will be transferred to a single non-group bill.
We’ve also thought about a few other versions of this feature, but unfortunately it’s been really difficult to find a design that doesn’t confuse people. (Even the single-group “simplify debts” feature confuses a large percentage of people.) For now, we’ve decided to leave out any more complicated debt shuffling features, as the increase in confused/frustrated users seems to outweigh the benefits. Apologies for the trouble!

Great idea! To be honest, it’s a lot of extra work to create a custom user-by-user system (maybe a good idea for the Pro version?), so that’s not likely in the near term. But if you have suggestions for words to add, please feel to email us at support@splitwise.com or add them to the comments. We also review the system periodically and add new “magic” words when we think of ones to add.
Best,

When I add the name of an expense, it is classified automatically but only sometimes (e.g. Typing "Ikea" will automatically classify it as "Furniture"). However, this isn't (and probably can't be) automated for every locality (e.g. Typing "Hofer" or "Billa" doesn't automatically classify an expense as "Groceries" even though those at two of the biggest supermarkets where I live).
Being able to tell the app to classify an expense in a specific category depending on the text I enter (or having a checkbox that allows me to "save this categorisation as default for entered text") would be amazing.
