Add a calendar for guests
Apart from splitting bills it would be very helpful to have a calendar that can be shared with members of the house. This way you could track guests. It might even make sense to offer the option to link expenses to those guests (while charging it to the roommate who invited the guest).
1 voteSounds like a really cool idea, but we’re sticking to our core billing issues for the moment. That sounds like a great idea for a Splitwise API integration? If you’d like to develop it, email developers@splitwise.com

WP8 client tip calc whole $
Tip.calc needs to show whole number and calc based on that. Currently the slider moves through unknown % for a given tip.
1 voteThe WP8 client is a third-party, unofficial app – it’s not maintained by the Splitwise team. You should send your suggestion to the developer of Splittr, Miron Vranjes, at splittr@mironv.com or @MironV. Cheers!

Add more factors to the rental split calclulator? (parking & furnishing)
Couple factors I'd love to see on split wise rental calculator:
Parking spot (checkbox for that room)
Most places in LA will value a parking spot at about $50 a monthFurnishing the room (to be left checked off if a roommate is not furnishing the room at all)
This is one of the greatest room splitting calculators out there. I'd love to see it become more robust!
1 voteGlad you like the calculators! We’ve actually considered both the factors you mentioned, and unfortunately we chose to leave them off – both vary too widely in cost to be useful in a simple calculation.
They’re definitely reasonable things to take into account when splitting rent, though! You’ll just have to decide for yourself how much they’re worth and how you’d like to split them :)

user_name id tag in Account Settings page is causing problem
This is a technical issue.
https://secure.splitwise.com/account/settings
On this page there is text box to show the name of the user, its id is user_name, this is causing problem with addons like LastPass. They are auto filling it with email address.Kindly rename the id to something other than this.
Thanks
1 voteHey Pratik – this sounds like a configuration error with LastPass. Changing the field’s ID would require us to override a bunch of default Ruby on Rails logic for handling input fields. Sorry for the trouble!

The right panel is too big
The right panel is too big and the main (center) panel looks constrained in the new layout. And the reduction is size of display images is not good.
It would be good if you reduce the right panel size and the center panel can also be broadened.1 voteWe spent a lot of time testing the right sidebar on different users, and in the end we think it’s an improvement for most people. We’ll definitely be making design tweaks over the next few months to both the list of balances and the right sidebar, but the overall size of those two items will probably stay the same. Sorry!

Please bring back the older color
The older color looked better. It was dark, this is very gaudy and shiny!!
1 voteSorry you don’t like the new colors! We are planning to keep them, though. It’s definitely a lot different than the old Splitwise, but we hope the change will grow on you with time.

Not let peope in a group who where not involve access to modify a bill
I don't think that people that where not involved in a bill (even in the same group) should be able to modify it. Also, since everybody can modify anything, it would be good if you kept a log of transactions, ie: " John changed the total from X to Y"
1 voteWe allow members of a group to edit all bills in that group because we think it makes it easier for people to correct problems and fix other people’s mistakes. We think this is pretty important – otherwise, it can be a huge hassle when one person accidentally enters something incorrectly.
You can see a record of recent changes in your account by visiting https://secure.splitwise.com/#/history, or by clicking the flag icon in the middle of the top of the page (in the green navigation bar).

Stop changing your UI
If you guys really think your UI is very cool let me tell you ..it's the most pathetic thing to constantly keep changing UI . Playing around with HTML and CSS does not make your app attractive. Stop changing theme you guys are not a big company like facebook that people will keep using it irrespective of whatever u do.
1 voteThanks so much for your patience and feedback as we improve things.
We try not to update our UI unnecessarily, but in this case, we think it was worth it. The last big change to our interface was almost a year ago (the recent “Add a bill” changes were part of a preview of this release), and since then we’ve spent a lot of time getting feedback from users about what they like, what they don’t like, and what they find confusing.
This new design is an attempt to make things clearer, friendlier, and easier to use, both for new users and existing users. We may have inadvertently made some parts of Splitwise harder to use, and if so, we apologize – if you have specific issues, we’re always happy to hear about them and see if there is a way to address them.
Thanks again for your patience –…

New Splitwise Interface
The previous interface was simple and neat both in terms of usability and look. I would prefer the previous interface over this. Also,the color combination used for new splitwise is not appealing.
1 voteIn general, we’re planning to stick with the new interface and color scheme, but if you have any specific comments we’d love to hear ’em! Feel free to drop us a line at support@splitwise.com, or to leave more suggestions here in the forums.

bring back the old quick add!
My roommates and I love splitwise! My only concern is your new layout. The quick-add used to be really good and quick. Now that its not right up front and you have to click on something else to get to it, its a lot less quick of an add. Also with the app it was really convenient that you could just press enter to do the quick add but now its just a search button. The only other thing is that we thought it was better when the people in the group were on top of the page instead of…
1 voteI’m sorry you miss the old quick-add (I do too!), but we actually found that most people never used it. We decided that hiding it beneath a click was a reasonable compromise – it’s only one click away for the people who do use it, but it’s easy to ignore if it’s not a feature you’re interested in.
I’ll pass on your other comments as well – we know the 3-column layout is very new, and there are probably tweaks and improvements that can be made. Thanks for all the feedback! :)

I would not like to see individual transactions in a group
We friends have created a group, and I observe that I can also view indiviual transactions between other friends. I am aware I can change the settings, but I think even in a group, you should not be able to view a transaction if you are not involved in it
1 voteWe intentionally chose for the expenses in a group to be visible to all members of that group – we’ve found that it makes it easier to fix errors when someone makes a mistake (e.g. someone is accidentally included on or excluded from a bill).
However, you can also add expenses that do not belong to any group, and those expenses will only be visible to the people involved. If you are in a group with many transactions that do not involve you, you may find it useful to get rid of the group entirely, and just add expenses directly with the people involved.

A better Android app
Hi,
Seems like you are using HTML5 or some other web technology for your android app. I have just started using your service and really likes it.
I am an android developer and would really love to help you out if you want. You can contact me on my email -- mudit.agar@gmail.com

Get a logo
The "logo" in the top left corner doesn't make any sense. It's also in the splash screen of the iOS.
I really like the new design, very flat and smooth, but those ugly wide-spaced letters just drive me crazy!
There are many things you could do to improve this. Maybe just a simple sleek font will do the trick.

Allow for multipliers in Itemized bills
It would be great if you could add a multiplier/shares for itemized bills. You could probably just add a x1 next to the price and have up/down arrows to make it x2, x3, etc. This would be reaaally usefull when you itemizing but one of your friends had 2 shares or was paying for his/her partner/kids, etc.
I saw that there where some ideas like this already submited.. but they were marked as Under review since almost 1 year ago!
Keep the good work!
1 voteWe’re declining this one for now – it’s a reasonable idea, but itemized bills are only used by a small percentage of our users, and we worry that adding multipliers might make the itemized bill interface more confusing. We may revisit this further down the line, though. Thanks for the suggestion!

New homescreen icon
I will start by saying that you guys have developed a really, really great service, so smooth and well thought out. All honour to you! This was all that I would want in a service like this, and the connection between mobile and desktop is just great!
One little thing, and this is just a first world porblem; I would like to see a little different icon on iOS. I feel that the interface within the app itself is so good, but the icon isn't quite up to that level. Just a tiny request. But I feel that by seeing…
1 voteWe’re so glad you like Splitwise and love hearing from users, but we’re sticking with the current icon for now.

Need an excel kind of "Whiteboard"
One of the requirements that we came across is to have a tabular whiteboard, so that the weekend shopping items can be logged in. I feel that it would be better to have a tab for plain text and for a grid layout for whiteboard
1 voteWe don’t have plans to expand the whiteboard, unfortunately, as very few people use it. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!

Cancelling an Expense Entry
If I have added an expenses. If the bill I entered is split between me and my friend. If my friend removes the entry then only the amount is adjusted. I would suggest that it should notify me first and then ask me if the entry can be deleted. So in short the one who adds the bill is the admin, then the admin must be asked before removing the bill. If this is not done then I do not get to know if any of my friend has eleted an entry.
Also if there are more than 2 people…
1 voteHi Sourabh,
We don’t want to add user permissions to the account. We feel that anyone involved in the bill should be able to fix errors and edit it. We also know this can be problematic in some cases and are planning to do a better job with tracking a history of changes for each bill.
We do have some basic history features on the website (click on the flag in the top bar). We also have notifications you can opt in to for adds, edits and deletes of bills so you can keep track of what’s going on in your account (look in your account settings).
We have had permissions for some things in an earlier version of the app, and found that it was mostly a problem for users instead of a helpful feature.

Feedback on settle up
I hope the settle up will be better if it should be updated only by the person who pays the money.
1 voteWe firmly believe anyone should be able to add and edit expenses they are involved in. We are planning got add better history of changes so you can easily who did what when soon. We also have notifications you can add for your account under account settings to get notified when someone adds a payment to you.

Payment can apply to multiple groups
My friend and I are in multiple groups together and she makes 1 big payment to me to settle our debts. However, I can only apply the payment to 1 group or no group at all, and that throws off the group balances. Can this be resolved? I've been dividing the payment manually and that is working so far.
1 voteWe really, really want users to think of groups as separate things, so we aren’t planning to add multi-group support for anything.
That being said, if you are settling up for the exact total amount that you owe, if you do it from the friendship screen (where it shows your overall balance from all groups and expenses), we will split the payment up to settle up all your groups.

have an option to hide my personal upcoming/trending bills from the group. I want my personal bills kept private!
I want to be able to track my personal expenses without the entire group being able to see it! I want to schedule my trending/recurring payments and list the amounts, but keep that info private. I don't like how if I list my personal bills in my account it keeps showing up in the group. Keep my private finances private please!
