Track a bill when simplify debts in ON
We use keep the "Simplify Debts" option ON to reduce the number of settlements required within the group. Due to this, I don't get to know how the bill gets split up and simplified, and settlements are for completely different (calculated) amounts. Is there a way I can track how the bill amount got split up / simplified amongst the group
12 votesVery sorry for the trouble! We’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how to explain why you owe what you owe when simplify debts is on, and unfortunately it’s fiendishly difficult (since it often ends up depending on a chain of expenses that goes back for months). Still, we hope we can make some updates in the future that help make it clearer. In the meantime, my apologies for the confusion!

Add an option for a lump-sum Splitwise Pro payment
I like Splitwise a lot and have gotten a lot of use out of it, so I would like to subscribe to Splitwise Pro to support the site. However, I am uneasy about adding recurring, monthly expenses to my bank statement. Would it be possible to add a non-recurring subscription option? I would be perfectly fine with a resubscribe email getting sent in a (month/year) but I do not like automatic charges. Thank you!
38 votesWe’re definitely considering this! We’re running a variety of tests right now to decide exactly how we’ll be offering Splitwise Pro (pay-what-you-want, fixed cost, etc).

Add Washington DC Renters Insurance Recommendation
Add Washington DC Renters Insurance Recommendation
10 votesI’ll pass on the suggestion! For now, your best bet is probably to check our statistics for Maryland or Virginia – numbers for the DC area may be slightly different, but that’s still a good estimate to work from.

Show the transaction date for person to person payments on the transaction list and in the transaction summary
Currently, on the transaction list, person-to-person payments are correctly sorted by their payment dates, but instead of showing the date of the transaction there is just a $ sign. Bill payments show dates, but it would be handy to see the dates of these 'settle-up' transactions without clicking on them.
Additionally, when you click on one of these transactions, the only way to see the transaction date is to go to 'Edit payment'. The transaction summary view only shows the date that the transaction was added to Splitwise.
11 votesSorry for the trouble! I’ve just added the date to the payment details screen on the web (though if the date of the transaction is the same as the date it was added, it will only show the date it was added). I’ll pass on your feedback about showing the date directly in the transaction list – if we decide to make that change, it will likely take a while longer to make it to web + iPhone + Android.

Maximum value of number is not big enough
Hello. When adding a bill, maximum value of input number is not big enough. If I enter a number greater than max value of 4byte signed integer, it is bound to this value. I know this value is okay for ordinary expense in USD but sometimes it's small for special case like buying a new house, especially in KRW(1 usd = 10xx krw). I would appreciate if you check it out. Thank you.
7 votesSorry for the trouble! I’ll pass on the suggestion, but it may be a while before we fix this – accepting expenses that cost more than 8 digits would require us to make some database changes. In the meantime, apologies for the inconvenience!

Plates Integration
Find a way to integrate Plates with Split Wise so calculations can be ported between apps.
96 votesWe definitely want to improve Plates + Splitwise integration over time! Right now, if you share a Plates bill with a friend, they can click on the link and then save their share as a Splitwise IOU. We haven’t had a chance to make updates to Plates in a while, but in the future, we hope to let you do that straight from the Plates app. Until then, apologies for the inconvenience!

connect to Google Wallet as well as PayPal
Google Wallet has started supporting money transfers. Helpfully, the money goes into the wallet balance, which can then be spent directly or moved to a bank account.
Anyway, supporting Google Wallet might not be possible: I'm not sure that their Payments API supports payments between individuals or if the merchant, i.e. you, would have to serve as an intermediary. But give it a shot please.181 votesAs of late 2015, Google Wallet does not currently have a public API for person-to-person payments, so unfortunately there’s not a way for us to integrate with them directly. If Google adds that ability at some point in the future, then we’d love to consider this!

Please add an option to filter out expenses/payments by user
Please provide an option to filter out expenses/payments by user , similar to the option of hide expenses not involving me.
31 votesI’ll pass on the suggestion! For now, you may be able to use “Export as spreadsheet” to accomplish some of this. You can export a spreadsheet from our website by going to a group or friend, then clicking the settings icon in the upper right and choosing “Export”. Hope that helps!

Help answer the question: "Who should pay for this meal?"
I'm out to lunch with a subset of my friends. The bill arrives, we're all on Splitwise, but we're not sure who should pay to lower the overall balance on our Splitwise group, i.e. who owes the most at the table.
Via the Balance tab I can see the answer to this if everyone is present, but there are always a few people missing. I'd like to click "Who should pay?", check the boxes for everyone present, and get an immediate answer.
8 votesWe’ve actually talked about this idea before – we think it’s a very neat concept, but we’re not sure if it merits inclusion in the core Splitwise app, since a lot of Splitwise users actually don’t use Splitwise in this way. However, it’s a great idea for a separate app, either from us in the future or from a 3rd-party developer using our API (http://dev.splitwise.com). Maybe someday! :)

1 vote
Sorry for the trouble! I can see how this would be useful – maybe we could add it as an optional setting? I don’t think we’d want to do it automatically, as there are some cases where it doesn’t really apply (e.g. when a new person moves into an existing apartment after a few months). Regardless, I’ll pass on the idea. Thanks!

include 'View Printable Summary' option on Mobile App
The option to View Printable Summary in Web is great. It will be quite useful in mobile app as well if it comes with an option to email the friends involved in the group.
5 votesThanks for the suggestion! We’d definitely like to add something like the printable summary view to our mobile apps in the future. It may take us some time, as we’re working on some other features at the moment, but hopefully you’ll see that feature soon!

Split Payment in Groups
When we press Settle Up, it shows paid in personal expenses and enters an appropriate transaction in other groups common to both. But this leads to confusion. I suggest that when you press settle up there should be an option to split the paid amount among groups as you wish. For example : - Say A owes B $400 (personally) and $600 in a group. Now A wants to pay $500 to B but $200 personally and $300 in the group. As of now it will show a single transaction in personal (& nothing in group - Though there is…
4 votesI’ll pass on the suggestion! For now, it’s always possible to enter two separate payments, one from the group screen and one from the friend screen – that should let you allocate your payment however you’d like.

Reauthorize Venmo
It makes me re-athorize with Venmo each time? Instead of just storing the credentials? A bit annoying when trying to batch-settle up
4 votesHi Brian,
Fair enough, and sorry for the trouble. Eventually, you won’t have to re-authorize each time. It will probably be a few months before allow anyone to store a payment credential but we love the idea.
Cheers,

Add date range option to "Export as spreadsheet" function
Currently when I click the "Export as spreadsheet" link under Group Settings it gives me all of the transactions that have ever been recorded in the group. Since I use a group to track expenses with roommates, I like to export the data on a monthly basis, and it would be great if I didn't have to go back and delete all the old data from the beginning of the file each time.
Alternatively, the "view printable summary" already gives a nice monthly snapshot, so if there was a way to export that view to a spreadsheet, that would work…
14 votesGood suggestion! We’ve talked about adding a date range to both the export and the monthly summary – it’s never quite made it to the top of the to-do list, but hopefully it will sometime soon. In the meantime, I’m sorry for the delay!

Add a message of the week / day / month header
The message header would be located at the top of all the bills OR pages, allowing for everyone to see the message at all times. When creating a message, it'll work similarly to the bills where you can set the predetermined time you want it to show. The other option here is to just have one box permanently stay up and have it edited as needed.
It could work similarly to the comments section where every time someone posted, it would post in a new box with their name attached to it. Or, it could just be a box where…
4 votesWe’d definitely like to add better comments that aren’t attached to expenses, especially for groups. Right now, there’s a rather hidden feature on our website called the “Whiteboard” (check the buttons at the top of the right sidebar), which is a little text box that any group member can edit. Maybe that can help you out for now while we work on better improvements!

show numbers of friends
In Sweden we have a payment provider called "Swish" which lets you do direct bank transfers via mobile phone no. It would be awesome if you could actually see your friends numbers to be able to register a payment to them. This could also be solved by a free text box called "Payment information" where I could specify something like "Swish: +46733xxxx"
For others that don't use this, it would also be good to be able to show the number so you could give them a call to settle up.
11 votesThanks for the suggestion! We’ve actually thought about something like this before – a text box to let people indicate how they’d like to get paid back (e.g. “Please send all payments via PayPal”, etc). It’s been on our list of possible improvements for a while, so I’ll bring it up again at our next meeting to remind people about it :)

More categories and change payer default
I have 2 ideas after using your app to control a eurotrip with my husband and parents to Europe (btw, I love this app!! total life saver!)
- More categories, such as theater and other expenses.
- Sometimes I forget to go back and change who paid the bill. I should be able to choose if I want to be asked for who paid the bill
2 votesThanks for the suggesting!
1. We do add new categories from time to time. I’m leaving this as under review so if we get a lot of votes for this we know a lot of people would use a theater category. We have a general category, would “other expenses” be different than this?
2. I do this myself from time to time, so I know it can be annoying. Our solution to this is to make it easy for anyone on the expense to edit the expense if there are mistakes on it. You can also opt-in to notifications when an expense gets updated or added to help keep track of things. If we were to add a feature like this, it would be for everyone and not a setting. Given how almost all expenses are paid for by the person who adds them, I don’t think the added annoyance…

More mobile notifications rather email
Like if someone pays me then it must be a push notification. For every notification i am the one who should choose what type of msg i get bt in most push notification is bot an option.
28 votesPush notifications for the Friends and Groups notifications and Expense notifications makes sense.

Payment Options
You can add the payment options and allow transfer of money to other accounts , like kind of link accounts with splitwise and transfer directly . Something of that sort which is for sure safe and secure
27 votesWe don’t currently have plans to transfer money directly through Splitwise. We do integrate with PayPal and Venmo in the US, and we just integrated with Paytm for our Indian users, these allow you to make transfers to other users if you’ve connected with your bank account. We hope to continue to integrate with other payment providers in the future!

Separate the total owed per person
I think it's quite intimidating to see the total amount owed for all persons as a lump sum. Could we have the option to choose how we see that amount? For example have the option to see the total owed to one friend at time on the home page instead of the amount owed to all persons. This should be for both the mobile and the browser versions
3 votesThanks for the suggestion and the feedback – it’s interesting to hear you find seeing the total intimidating. We use that total on mobile as a navigational element as well (tapping on total, total owed and total you are owed filters the list of friends), so we’re not likely to remove this in the short or medium term. But it’s interesting and I’ll leave this open to see if others also feel this way. Thanks! – Jon
