Button for multiple zero (00 or 000)
Some currencies are usually in thousand (e.g. 54000, 3000, 455000). It will be more effective to use button for multiple zero instead of triple touch the single zero button.
4 votesThanks for the suggestion – I’ll pass it on! I can see how this would be very useful for some currencies.

Auto-genereated "Settle up balances" transation should be "Payment" not "General"
When I settle up balances with a friend, the corresponding transactions get added in the groups where me and respective friend is part of. This auto-generated entry is marked with category "General" . Instead of that it should be marked as "Payment". So, it would help in tracking my expenses with category.
13 votesSorry for the trouble! We’d definitely like to improve the way “Settle all balances” works – I’ll pass on this suggestion and see if it’s something we can fix when we work on improving our settling up stuff.

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.

UI design tweak - "Are you sure?" confirmation popup before discarding yet-to-be-added bills.
I click "Add a bill", start filling up the details. I accidentally click "Esc", which discards the popup in its entirety with all the details I filled (especially sad when this happens for Itemized bills).
A simple popup "This bill hasn't been added yet, are you sure you want to discard?" would be a much loved (at least by me :))
9 votesOh no, sorry for the trouble! I can definitely see how this would prevent some accidents :) I’ll add it to our list of possible web improvements – I don’t think we’re planning much web work in the very near future, but hopefully soon!

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.

Provide screenshots of the Pro experience
I love Splitwise, but the one problem I have is with multi-currency trips (the main reason my friends and I use it). It is really easy to muddle things up, even with separate groups, which we tried this time round. The main problem is that your entire interface was made for single currency and multi-currency feels bolted on.
If Pro solves that, I'd be more than happy to sign up for it, but you're not making it easy to find out how it would work and I currently don't have the trust that it'll solve the currency problem.
Providing screenshots…
1 voteFair enough! Email support at splitwise.com, happy to send screenshots, it’s something we should put there. The currency converter works quite well, I’ve used it a few times myself.

Sort by outstanding debt
We use the app for a coffee club...The person with the biggest outstanding debt pays for everyone's coffee (well, whoever wants coffee at the time). Currently we need to scan the entire list of balances to find out who is most in debt to the group. Having a sort by debt function would save it's valuable seconds!
37 votesInteresting – I’ll pass on the suggestion! Can I ask how many people are in your group? I want to make sure I understand your use case as well as possible…most groups on Splitwise involve 3-5 people, so I think we figured that you’d usually be able to see everyone’s balance at a glance even without sorting.

expense sorting in group
It would be great and easier for the user to have the option of sorting the expenses based on amount, date, category,and payee in the group.
17 votesThanks for the suggestion – I’ll pass it on! For now, your best option is probably to export your group to a spreadsheet (by going to your group, then clicking the settings icon at the top of the right sidebar and choosing “Export as spreadsheet”), then using Excel or other spreadsheet programs to sort the output. How that helps!

Add tax support and partial split
There is a typical case I meet usually: I went to Walmart with my two roommates. X bought $10 things for himself, Y bought $12, Z bought $15. Meanwhile, we bought $30 things for sharing. And X paid the bill. Note that the money above didn't include the tax (I'm in US, one has to pay additional 8.75% tax of the original price). In this case we want to split the $30 and its tax equally, while each pay for his own thing including that tax. Since on the receipt the tax is only a sum, it's annoying for us…
30 votesSorry for the trouble – I’ll pass on the feedback! For now, you could try adding your bill on our website and choosing “itemized bill” as the split method, which includes some handling for tax (and for splitting up a bill’s items between multiple people).

Ability to use a calculator when entering bill
When entering a bill, it would be handy if there's a quick plus button there so that I can add multiple items fast and easy.
Currently there's an empty button on the number pad that shows up which I think could very well be used for simple plus/minus calculations.
955 votesWe just added a very basic calculator function to our web app, so you can now use basic mathematical operations when entering a cost (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). We hope to add similar features to our mobile apps at some point in the future!

Report improvement
We are use splitwise to track apartment expenses (we are a group living in a shared apartment). So rental takes up most of the area on the chart.
I would like to request a feature - enabling / disabling items from reports charts.
This would give the user more control, and give a clearer trends analysis.
Apart from that - great work guys and an awesome feedback system.
Thanks and keep up the good work :)
NOTE: It would be nice If i could attach a file here (especially a picture) - its available in "contact support", why not here?
11 votesThanks for the suggestion! I can see how that would be useful, and we’d definitely like to provide better flexibility in our charts and graphs in the future.
Re: attaching a picture, sorry for the trouble! We use UserVoice for our support emails and forums, and unfortunately I don’t think they support attaching files to forum posts yet. Hopefully in the future!

Allow group admin to delay notifications until after all bills are added
There's a lot of confusion when people start adding bills and the numbers owed keep changing. It would be better if we could all add our bills for a trip and then once that is complete, trigger the notifications. No need to get so many texts until a trip is all tallied.
9 votesSorry for the trouble! We generally try to send notifications for expenses as soon as things happen, as most groups (apartments, etc) are used slowly over long periods of time, but I can see how this’d be useful in cases like yours.

Thanks for the suggestion! Draft expenses aren’t in our plans yet, but I can see how they’d be useful. I’ll pass on the suggestion and add it to our list of possible features for the future.

Integrate Paytm with Splitwise
You're building a great eco-system of applications and you guys are quite responsive to feedback. Congratulations for that !
I was wondering if it was possible to integrate Paytm (https://paytm.com/) for payments with Splitwise. It will be a very convenient alternative for a lot of users.
285 votesWe’re now integrated with Paytm on Android! Check out our blog post about it here: https://blog.splitwise.com/2017/05/23/announcing-a-splitwise-paytm-integration-for-android/

"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

Pooling the money
Lets say an future event/trip is planned where by several group members pool in the money with only one or two of the group over a period of time. And at the event or trip these one or two people spend the money on behalf of others. So this would ideally be a transfer at the beggining and then the actual expense.
59 votesI’ll pass on the suggestion! For now, you might try creating a group with an extra member named “Pool” – you could have everyone pay that fake member some money to start, and then that fake member could pay for expenses that come out of the group pool. Hope that helps!

Default the group when I go to add expenses
Default the group when I go to add expenses. You can make a setting option for your default gruop

Add preferred people to debt simplification
Debt Simplification can be more awesome if i can re-simplify adding a preferred payer
24 votesThanks for the suggestion – I’ll pass it on! I can see how this would be useful for Splitwise users who have a large number of friends.

[BUG] Tab order in group creation messy
Tab order in Group creation under /groups/new is wonky after you've added a bunch of extra people.
3 votesThanks for the heads-up – yep, I see what you mean. I’ll add this to our list of website bugs and hopefully we can fix it up soon :)

separate expenses that don't alter the nett balance owed eg for a car loan to a friend
I would like to have the option of entering a record of money I've lent to a person that is separate to the running nett total eg for a large purchase that I've lent them money for and they are paying me back with interest that amount over time but that is seperate to everyday Bills which we do want to split and settle up in real time
7 votesThanks for the suggestion – I’ll pass it on! For now, my advice would be to create separate groups for the different kinds of debts that you’re tracking, which lets you keep multiple balances with the same person.
