Add a payment gateway
Provide a way to pay the people to whom we owe.
35 votesHey Navneet! We support a few options in the US (PayPal and Venmo), and we just added an integration with Paytm for our Indian users. We’d love to add more. Hopefully in the future!

can total Owes you amount be in other color rather light green
can total Owes you amount be in other color rather light green? and split among groups in light green?
2 votesSorry for the trouble! I’ll pass on a note about this – that number will probably stay green, but we might be able to make it a bit darker.

Add a "bailed" option
for expenses when someone decides to not participate on a group, to split what they paid as an expense for everyone else.
2 votesInteresting suggestion! I can see how this would be useful in some unfortunate situations. For now, you could try adding a “Bailed” expense, where the person who owes the money “paid” and everyone else splits the cost.

add notes with acknowledge feature
Google Drive (sheets) already has this feature. Basically, instead of a note, you add a comment to a cell which the other person can respond to or acknowledge. So, if my roommate gives me a receipt and I disagree with a charge, I can remove that portion of it, and state my justification for changing the subtotal. That way, (s)he knows why I did it and knows to come talk to me if it doesn't make sense (e.g. where are those batteries you bought? I need some.)
1 voteThanks for the suggestion! I know the feature you’re talking about on Google Drive/Docs/Sheets, and it does come in useful sometimes. This probably won’t get added to our comments in the very near future (it’d require some cross-platform work), but I’ll pass on the suggestion and add it to our list of possible improvements.

import from CSV take 2
I read through your reasoning on why you don't want to tackle supporting import from CSV. There is no standard, and creating one can be messy, particularly with the details you mentioned. However, the cases, if limited to a two-way split are simple to start and would cover that scenario.
I would expect to download a sample CSV (or my own db from your website), append to it exactly as it is, and reupload it to your parser. If a case isn't covered a quick "we don't understand this line please run us through it can feed back into a…
64 votesThanks for the detailed thoughts! Building an importer is definitely possible, but it just hasn’t been a high enough priority for us yet – only a handful of people have asked for it, and we’re a tiny team (2 developers), so other updates end up taking precedence. We might get to it someday, but I wouldn’t expect it any time soon, unfortunately.
If you’re feeling brave though (and you’re willing to ignore XKCD’s advice), we do have an API you could use for importing! Docs are here: http://dev.splitwise.com. Maybe someone will put a nice CSV import program up on GitHub for the power users :)

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!

Export notes as well
When exporting to a spreadsheet, it would be awesome if all the information related to transaction is also saved as an excel file (rather than CSV). Currently notes and attached images are not exported.
Saving as an excel file, will give more flexibility to add links to images saved along with a transaction.
38 votesThanks for the suggestion! I can see how notes and attachments would be useful, though we’d have to think a bit about how exactly to structure the spreadsheet (we probably wouldn’t want just one “notes” column, or each cell might have a huge amount of text). I’ll add this to our list of possible improvements for the next time we’re working on printouts and exports.

Graphic development
Develop new icons for each expense! Like coffee, rent, laundry...!!
10 votesThanks for the suggestion! We do have icons/categories for a lot of different kinds of bills, like rent and groceries, and we hope to add more over time.
-
Add location to expense
It would be better if we add location of where the expense is made and filter the expense then it would be more easier..
45 votesHey Krishna – thanks for the suggestion! We’ve thought a bit about location data before, and it’s something that might show up in a future version of the app. Until then, apologies for any inconvenience!

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.

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!

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!

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll pass this on for the next time we consider updating the guest calculator.

build a feature that lets someone add an expense now but select a later date (or multiple dates) for it to "hit"
Just sent this to the "contact support" group....
I'd love a feature that allows me to add an expense immediately but choose a later date or dates at which it will be added to expense calculations. Some possible choices:
-simple "save until next month" option
-select the specific date that it will be included in group calculations
-spread the cost across the next 3, 6, or 12 months
-hold for low expense month: Splitwise knows average monthly cost and automatically drops expense into month with below-average expensesThanks! I use this tool for many groups, including managing a 7-person house.
6 votesThanks for the detailed suggestion! I can definitely see how this’d be useful, though we’d want to be careful and make sure the extra options don’t cause undue confusion. I’ll add this to our list of possible improvements to discuss :)

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!

Add SMS text notifications
Some people in my groups don't have smart phones and don't check email too often. A good solution to missed notifications would be to send a SMS text message to their phone number.
35 votesThanks for the suggestion! I don’t think we’re likely to add SMS notifications in the near future, but I can see how they’d be useful for certain groups of people. I’ll mention this at our next planning meeting.

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!

Javscript
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…

Add email confirmation
After lots of confusion over why Splitwise was not working, and why my online account did not match my phone, I realized my email account in Splitwise on my phone had a typo, so all funds sent to me was going nowhere. You should require email confirmation on the mobile app! Security concern!! It should also be possible to have multiple emails associated, i.e. One account email and another associated with a paypal account.
10 votesVery sorry for the trouble!! I know in the past we’ve tried to keep registration as lightweight as possible, since many people use Splitwise very casually, but I can imagine how confusing it’d be to have payments sent to a wrong address. I’ll pass on your suggestion at our next planning meeting.

Avatar for friends in group
Cannot add a picture to friends in group
3 votesSorry for the trouble! We don’t currently allow people to upload avatars for their friends, but I’ll pass on the suggestion.
