Mac App
It would be great if there was a mac app version - it could integrate with the notification centre for transfers and thing.
40 votesI’d love to do this eventually, but for now we’re too small a team – we’ve already got our hands full with web, iPhone, and Android. Maybe in the future, though!

Ability to change country setting
I love the Splitwise integration with Venmo, it makes settling up so much more easier. Though I had to struggle a bit to understand why I was not able to see that option on Splitwise when I moved to the US last year and installed Venmo on my phone.
Turns out, I had set up my Splitwise account back in India, and since Venmo integration is available only in the US I was not able to get the "Settle with Venmo" link on my app/web page because my country was still set to India. I had to contact Splitwise support…
6 votesSorry for the trouble! Yeah, our automatic country detection could use some improvements to detect when someone moves, or when someone travels for a vacation. We probably can’t allow a person to choose ANY country they want (PayPal in particular has some requirements and restrictions we must enforce), but we might be able to re-detect someone’s country with a button on the account settings page, or something like that.

make pie chart colors the same from month to month
I like that we can see trends in the pie chart and have a visual of where our spendings fall from month to month. However, when I compare months, the categories are different colors. It would be much readable and helpful if colors stayed consistent for the sake of comparison. Thank you!
20 votesSorry for the trouble! Our charts could definitely use some improvement, and we’re planning to redo them in the near future – I’ll see if we can keep the colors consistent when we do that.

Ask for password while deleting a friend
While trying to delete a friend and all the expenses with them, the app should ask for the account password. Kinda like the two step verification.
What if a bugger gets hold of my laptop/phone and deletes all records in my account with him/her? O_o
Just pretending to be paranoid here, but it struck as a good measure!
:PCheers!
Vaishakh1 voteHi there,
Thanks for the interesting idea. I can see some other places where adding an extra password verification might makes sense, so leaving this under review.

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

support item in itemized bill 'consumed' by X, but paid for by person(s) Y, Z
Every friday, I organize a group dinner. Frequently, people attend who are in a relationship. Sometimes, even non-monogamous (poly) relationships.
It would be really awesome if I could enter an itemized bill in this way:
item, cost, participants
eggrolls, 8.00, Janet, Steve, Tim, April
pad thai, 10.00, Janet
basil chicken, 10.00, Steve
fried chicken over fried rice, 10.00, TimTax: 8.75%
Tip: 20.00%People pay for another:
Janet: paid for by Steve, Timand thus get this break down:
egg rolls: $3.00 for steve, $3.00 for tim, $2.00 for april
pad thai: $5.00 for steve, $5.00 for timand then…
4 votesThanks for the suggestion! I can see how this would be useful for group dinners and such. We haven’t worked on our itemized bill form for a while, as it’s a pretty infrequently used feature on Splitwise, but I’ll pass on your suggestion and add it to our list of possible improvements.

Allow custom messages to be sent to group members from Splitwise Group
I would like to send a custom message to specific members of a Group directly from Splitwise. I've tried using the whiteboard function but that doesn't seem to work very well.
31 votesAre you aware of the ability to send reminders, or comment on specific expenses? You can send an email to a fellow group member by clicking on their name in the right sidebar, then clicking the “Send reminder” button. You can leave comments on specific expenses by clicking the expense, then entering a comment in the comment box – the other people involved in the bill should get an email about your comment. I hope that helps!

Easy switching for who is paying who when settling up
I tend to lend money to my friends and use settle up option to record cash payments and keep a track of who owes what. When clicking settling up, it'd show from and to depending on who owes who (which is fine).
What I think will help is an option to switch it (probably by clicking the arrow). As of now, I've to manually select it by clicking on the names and re-selecting it.
9 votesMakes sense! I’ll pass on the suggestion – this sounds like a nice feature to add when we have some free time :)

Allow select/deselect all in the simplify page
In the simplify option in settings, since there are a lot of check boxes, and I usually select all of them, it would be nice if there was a select all option.
7 votesThanks for the suggestion – I can see how this’d be useful for people with massive lists of friends! I’ll add this to our list of possible improvements.

Plates should support discounts too
When we apply discount coupons, restaurants give discount on final amount. As plates doesn't support this it difficult to use plates at such time.
Temporary workaround: Generally we subtract discount amount from tip and try to use it somehow.
19 votesPlates is as simple and easy to use as it is because we’ve left out a number of less frequent use cases. If this gets a lot of votes, we’ll know its something a lot of people would use, and will think about adding it.

make pro features more visible
Currently the pro features of charts and search are in the menu under the user name. I think they should be moved somewhere more visible and explicit.
14 votesWe definitely want to make Pro features more visible! We’re planning some design tweaks on the web right now, and making those features more obvious will probably be a part of that. In the meantime, sorry they’re so hidden!

Paid by filter
there should be a filter option in group by which a person can see his detailed expense history with other members of the group individually.
8 votesThanks for the suggestion, and sorry for the trouble! For now, your best bet might be the “printable summary” view for groups on our website, which lets you see a detailed list of expenses and how much each person paid. I’ll pass on your thoughts at our next design meeting.

Sorry for the trouble! We deprecated support for Facebook login quite a while ago, but you can still log in to your account on Android by following the instructions here: http://feedback.splitwise.com/knowledgebase/articles/111323-how-do-i-log-in-with-facebook-connect-on-the-split. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Option to remove decimal display per currency
Just as the title says. Simple, give us an option to not display the .00 decimal in the app, or even better, determine and specify which currencies actually use decimal point amount of money.
I live in Korea I use Korean Won, naturally, which isn't applicable for decimal notation and I'm pretty sure quite a few more (if not most) currencies don't use decimals.
As a result, entering costs in Splitwise app now requires entering two more zeroes after the dot. KRW 38,500.00 is a pain...
44 votesVery sorry for the trouble! Long-term, we would definitely like to add better support for international currencies with different numbers of decimals, but it will probably be a while before we get around to it. The vast majority of our users use currencies with 2 decimal places, and adding proper support for 0 or 3 decimal places (the other two common values for world currencies) will require significant technical effort both on our servers and in our mobile apps.
Again, apologies for the inconvenience!

Add multiple currency support for charts
When displaying charts in a group with expenses in multiple currencies, the sums are stated unconverted in the default currency, which makes the chart useless. If currency conversion (which would be very cool!) is not on your current roadmap, you could at least display a chart for each currency.
21 votesSorry for the trouble! Not many people use 2+ currencies, which is why this has gone neglected until now, but we’d definitely like to improve it. We’ll probably start by simply showing one currency on the charts screen (and ignoring expenses in other currencies), then later move on to either showing multiple charts or doing actual currency conversion. Until then, apologies for the inconvenience!

Make "Simplify Debts" not hidden under "advanced options" on the group creation page
Currently, on the new group creation page (splitwise.com/groups/new), you must click "advanced options" before seeing the "Simplify Debts" toggle. Because it's not readily visible, I've seen several fellow users forget to turn simplify on when they meant to.
Also, it seems a bit redundant to have an advanced options link since the simplify toggle is currently the only option.
I understand why simplify is buried in the settings after the group is created (to prevent members from toggling too frequently and confusing the rest of the group), but it doesn't seem this is an issue during the creation phase.
If…
3 votesHey Ian – thanks for the feedback! I definitely understand where you’re coming from, though figuring out how much to prioritize “simplify debts” has been an ongoing question for us, and we’ve tried it a lot of different ways over time. Even with its current semi-hidden placement, there are a significant number of people who turn it on without fully understanding what it does, and who then email us about their balances “not adding up correctly”.
Still, we hope to keep improving on it! We have some ideas that might help explain it better to the people who get confused, and we’ll probably be trying some of those out early next year. Moving the placement of the setting might be part of that process. In the meantime, apologies for the trouble!

Change the way you notify users of new expenses!
Hi Guys,
Maybe I am just an idiot, but I keep on making the same mistake over and over with Splitwise.
The problem is that when someone adds an expense where I owe them XX amount, i get normally get a push notification for that specific expense. Lets say my house mate adds an expense where I owe him 100. I then get a notification that says an expense of 100 has now been added. Almost every time this happens, my thought process is, 'Cool, I'll quickly pay that person the 100 that i owe them". The problem is, I…

Why on earth is all of your javascript on the main page and that too without encryption ?
1 voteHey Kshitij! The reason our JavaScript is included in the main page is mostly because of how Splitwise /used/ to work a few years ago – we used to include a lot of customized code depending on exactly which user was loading the page. We’d like to move our JS code to a separate page sometime soon, mainly to improve page loading/caching performance.
Also, we may obfuscate our JavaScript code at some point in the future, but there’s no way to actually encrypt JavaScript in the browser – your browser has to be able to read the code in order to run it. Obfuscating JavaScript files can be useful for improving load time, since the file sizes are usually smaller, but we also enjoy keeping our code readable, especially since it lets other people look at your front-end code and learn how it works. (There isn’t any secure information in…
