Bills paid by multiple people: "Each person paid an equal share"
When adding a bill which was paid by multiple people you should be able to select an option "Each person paid an equal share" in addition to the available option "Each person paid for their own share".
This is especially useful for couples having a shared bank account / credit card or for shared bills where everyone just chipped in the same amount of money (but one still wants to split the items afterwards).
43 votesThanks for the suggestion! I can see how this’d be useful for certain common types of bills, so I’ll add it to our list of possible improvements for the future :)

Group cloning feature
I would really help if you could add a clone group feature. I have to maintain expenses on a monthly basis between the same group of people. Creating the same group every time is a pain. Also it would reduce the effort in creating new modified groups.
Like I cloned an existing group and then in the confirmation step, make some modifications if required and then click on a button like create group.
4 votesI’ll bring this up at our next design meeting. We do have a feature on the web to export a PDF of the balance for a group for the month. This might help solve this for you for now.

Automatic invite to app
Why can't I send an automatic text to add people to the app? I have to search their phone number and it's annoying! It doesn't show me who is already using the app, I know that a number of my friends are already using it..
3 votesThat totally makes sense. Currently, you can invite people using their phone number or email ID, and if they’re already on Splitwise, we do the right thing and link that invite to their existing account. We could look at your address book contacts and probably figure out who is already using Splitwise, so that you are able to add expenses with them directly by using their name.
I’ll be sure to bring this up with the team the next we’re working on our invite/friends logic. Thanks for the suggestion!

Make a button for moving settle-balance from one group to another (i.e. from trip group to some general group)
Usually you have a group of closer friends with whom you often use splitwise and for them you want to have general, never closing, splitwise group. Now for some trips you will very often have some of those friends going with you, as well as some other people. So once the trip is over, it would be highly useful if for those closer friends you can transfer remaining settle balance to the general group. Right now that has to be done manually, meaning virtually settling in a trip group and creating same amount expense in general group. What we need…
61 votesThanks for the suggestion! We have a very basic version of this on our website – the “Simplify debts with this person” button, buried under friend settings – but it’s very hard to find, and it’s not very powerful (you can’t specify which group you want to move balances into). I’ll pass on a note about this and see if we can clean up that feature at some point soon :)

Adding more options in the fairness calculator for splitting rent, such as who is sharing what bathroom.
I'm living with 3 friends two which are brothers. One of the brothers has a bathroom in his room who he shares with his brother while he's not sleeping mainly. My room doesn't have a window and is somewhat awkwardly arranged with a door to the outside. The other two rooms are identical. The idea is to basically add more options to describe who's sharing what besides common rooms and such. As of right now I pay $525, roommate 2 pays $608, and brothers pay $633, the older brother having the room with the bathroom for a close total of…
5 votesThanks for the suggestions! We’d really love to update the rent calculator at some point. I’m not sure exactly when it will next get updated, but I’ll add this to our list of possible improvements :)

Start companyname.splitwise.com and integrate with Google Apps.
I am a Splitwise addict. I loved it and referred close to 30 people. I work with a startup in India and almost all companies in India/startups use Google Apps. (There is no other way).
We have to submit show our bills to our HR every time to reimburse and we also have to split bills in most cases.
Can you use/combine personal and professional accounts like Asana does (two emails) and access splitwise? This can be a great business plan for you too!
5 votesThanks for the suggestion – this is a clever idea! We’ve thought about Splitwise for business purposes before, but so far we’ve focused on friends and roommates instead. I’ll add this idea to our list of possible improvements for the future :)

add currency converter and show all the bills in. Single currency, also plan to have money transfers
Luv the app! Try to add currency converter and show all the bills in. Single currency, also plan to have money transfers, either square cash or your own payment gateways.
3 votesThanks for the suggestion! I’m not completely sure what you mean by ‘Show all bills in single currency’, but I think you’re looking for a way to automatically convert all expenses to one currency? Unfortunately, there is no straightforward way to convert currencies automatically, and there are a lot of complications with that, so we’ve chosen not to tackle that problem. Sorry about that.
There is a currency converter available on the web, but that is a Splitwise Pro feature. You can get Splitwise Pro by visiting: https://secure.splitwise.com/pro/subscribe
As far as money transfers go, we do support 2 methods: Paypal and Venmo, although these are currently supported in the U.S. only. We’re always looking out to integrate more payment options.

Add @WorkflowHQ app integration to your service!
Allow iPhone users to automate expense entry in the app via a workflow. The integration should allow to specify which group and percentage to use.
4 votesWe continually review all integration requests when we are planning the future roadmaps of the project. However as a small team we cannot offer any addition information on when we will be able to add them if at all.

customize notifications for groups
notofication for a partivular group can be turned off or on

Sorry if I misunderstood your request. We don’t have specific plans to translate into Hindi, but we are working on a program to allow volunteers to translate Splitwise into different languages.

allow formatting of numbers
may be useful to have a setting whereby you can change the format of the numbers, e.g. decimals, show "1000" as "1,000" etc. thanks
34 votesGreat idea, leaving it under review since we tend to be pretty conservative about adding new settings. Thanks for submitting!

Debt shuffling across groups
I really like Splitwise and I use it regularly to keep track of my shared transactions with other people. However I find it difficult to keep track of expenses across different groups. For instance, sometimes I would like to transfer debt from one group to the other, such that in the first group the debt is settled but in the second it will show up. This would be a great addition to my debt management routine.
To exemplify my request I will illustrate that with my father's recent visit. He came to visit me at home and I created a…16 votesThanks 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!

Have no one pay
An option to make it so everyone owes the group for a bill. I.e. No one lent the money, the entire group needs to pay rent.
10 votesSorry for the trouble! The best way to do this right now is to set up the bill so that everyone pays for their own share. Just tap on the button that says who paid, change the payer to “Multiple payers”, and then enter each person’s share, and the resulting bill should have no effect on your overall balances.

Ask for 'location' permission so you can tell when I travel and remind me to use Splitwise
Recently I came back from a vacation and realized that I have
written all the shared expenses the old way of note taking in my note app
rather than using splitwise. I simply forgot that I can use splitwise. I
wished splitwise would remind me some how to use the app when I'm
traveling.
You can probably put an option in the settings to ask the user if he/she
wants splitwise to know their location. Then when this setting is on you
find out that I am out of town and give me a notification like "I see you
are…1 voteInteresting suggestion! I can see how this’d be pretty cool, though I can also imagine how other people would see this as a breach of privacy, so we’d probably have to make it opt-in or something like that. I’ll add it to our list of possible ideas for the future :)

Periodic payments
I have to add the same amount for Comcast and electricity bill every month. It would be nice to have a periodic payment for such types of bill
55 votesHey there! I can’t quite tell from your description – are you trying to add a recurring bill (e.g. a cable bill that’s the same cost every month), or a recurring payment to another Splitwise user (e.g. you pay back your friend $50 every week)? We don’t support recurring payments to friends right now, but we do support recurring bills: just click on the date when adding or editing a bill, and you’ll see options to make that bill recur weekly/monthly/etc. Hope that helps!

Thanks for your suggestion! We’re always adding support for different languages and formats to make Splitwise more accessible to people across the globe. This sounds like something we might do in the future.

Interesting idea. I understand the use case – “don’t settle up until I add everything” is something I’ve heard friends of mine say anecdotally. So thanks for the suggestion!

Add Cash/Money Icon
Multiple instances recently I have gone on looking for a banking/finance icon. (lending someone cash, money exchange while travelling). I was wondering if you could add an icon for finance/monetary transactions.
I love splitwise by the way!
13 votesThanks for the suggestion – I’ll pass it on! We re-evaluate our list of categories every once in a while, and I can see how this might make a good addition :)
