Reallocate payments upon settling up to minimize transfers between group members
While i love splitwise, when a group is large, the total number of payments needed to settle up becomes unmanageable. We had 13 people in the group and settling up required each person to make payment to or get payment from the other 12 people, resulting in 144 total transfers. In some cases, the amount was less than $1. Instead, if Person A owes Person B and Person B owes Person C, Splitwise should have Person A pay Person C directly as opposed to having two separate payments. This would make the app exponentially better!
17 votesSo sorry for the trouble – we actually do this already! If you go into your group’s settings and turn on the “simplify debts” option, we’ll automatically reallocate payments to reduce the total number of payments necessary. Hope that helps!

Please add Education as one of the categories. People spend a lot on Tuition, books, etc.

Archive debts
The option to archive (instead of deleting) a debt/group would reduce clutter and make Splitwise much more usable, while still allowing us to still keep track of outstanding debts.
Thanks for considering this!
17 votesWe now hide groups/friends that have been settled up for more than 40 days on all three platforms. We also hide older expenses behind a click whenever a group or friendship has completely settled up.

Allow a group to view total spedings for a period.
For example, allowing flatmates to know the expenditure for a month. Not individually (since thats already available), but considering the group as one unit. This gives us an idea of the cost involved in running the flat for one month (or other custom time periods).
17 votesWe have this in trends for the group on the website. Click on the trends icon in the far right on the group page and click view full charts.

What else is in Splitwise pro?
I want to see if there are extra things useful to me in Splitwise Pro, but it doesn't seem to do very well selling me the features.
Is there a details page where I can read about other features?

Add hotel option.

Custom settle up
Your application is great and we are using it in group of friends. But the one thing that is extremly needed on mobile is custom settle up as it is in web browser. It should allow to change the person who paid the payment and the person who received it with possibility to set ammount in any currency.
To simulate this we have to add fake expence that will state that somebody give money to other person and later convert it on web app.15 votesThis is now available on all three platforms! Groups now have custom settle up from the page for each group. For custom friend only settle up on mobile, you need to go tot he non-group expenses entry from the groups list and click settle up from there.

Save $ value, bill name, etc. when adding more people to the bill
Currently, the "Divide a bill" window is laid out with the amount and name of the bill at the top. One fills them in, then gets to the part where you can add people to the bill. If you do so, the amount and name are lost. Obviously, it should save those.
14 votesHey, we just fixed this and are rolling it out over the next couple days! Give us some feedback at this blogpost: http://blog.splitwise.com/2013/03/01/new-divide-a-bill-for-the-web-app/ or check it out in your own account: https://secure.splitwise.com/?test=0

create an icon for gifts and an icon for laundry/dry cleaning (hanger)
We love your site/app and these icons would make it even better!
14 votesThere is now a gifts category. There is a clothing category and a cleaning category. I think laundry might be too specific to add a icon just for it.

1Password Integration
It would be very simple if the login form had the 1Password integration, this way, users who believe in strong passwords can login conveniently.
14 votesUpdate: this is now available on iOS!
Thanks for the suggestion – I can definitely see how this would be useful! I’ll add this to our list of possible improvements on iOS.

Trip Expenditure per person
When I create a new trip, and add expenses.
It will be good if I can get a report of how much it costed per person.
For ex, total trip expenditure was about $500, and 4 people, assuming, we all shared money equally, the cost-per-person listing will help track travel expenditure.14 votesWe don’t have a “post trip report” yet, but we do have monthly spending charts in the web interface fro groups (under the trends icon in the far right) and you can click on view full charts to get detailed spending summaries.

Send email notifications only when I'm involved in them
I've enabled the option to send emails when new bills are added, but now I get an email every time someone in the group adds a bill, even though Splitwise itself knows that I'm not involved in the bill. Please change this, or at least provide an option to avoid these mails.
14 votesThis should be working now. Please contact support@splitwise.com if you are still getting extra emails.

There should be a camera icon on all of our platforms to let you attach an image when you add an expense.

history - logs
There is no way to see all the history (what if someone edited the amount later on?)
1) I should be able to see all modification done to a transaction
2) I should be able to see the entire logs of the group (what if a transaction is deleted)
3) I should be able set a settlement or freeze account thing, so that any new addition are a fresh start and modification to historic data would not influence current settlement , something like starting on fresh excel sheet.13 votesThere is now a recent activity tab which will show you any changes since the last time you looked. There are also detailed comments that get added to expenses when they get changed so you can see what is different.

Simplify debts for people not in groups
we love this site and the relates applications both in iOS and android. But what i feel missing is a simpler way shuffle debts between friends that are not in a single group. The simplify debts feature between a group s good and understandable that people know each other, but for expenses that were not added to a group can not be shuffled. Please add a feature where you can shuffle amounts between a group of people.
13 votesWe actually have a “simplify debts” feature that lets you do a one-time shuffle with friends – it’s on the user settings page under “Advanced features”. We consider it a power-user feature (since it changes people’s balances in a way that can be more difficult to understand than within-group debt simplification), so we don’t encourage most people to use it, but it’s available if you want it!

Recurring expense
Every moth there will be some common recurring expenses, I wish you can allow us to duplicate/ copy an existing expense so we can update and save as new. For example I have mobile expense split between 4 people in different way (not equally), every month it's same, so it's a pain to enter everything again and again. If I can just copy and recreate, then entering finite details like service name/ or splitting details/ etc will be eliminated.
13 votesWe actually have a feature for recurring bills already, if that’s what you’re looking for! Just tap on the date when adding a bill, and you can set it to recur as often as you’d like – new copies of the bill will automatically be generated each week/month/etc.
If I’ve misunderstood what you’re asking for, just leave a comment and let me know what you mean, and I’d be happy to pass on the feedback :)

calculate individual's monthly(user defined) expense.
The current application shows only how much a person owes/owed. It would be better if one can tract his complete monthly expense. If you need extra help, you can contact me. I am a software engineer and I would be glad to help you.

Split bills by percentage
Users should be able to enter percentages for expenses (i.e. Alice owes 40%, Bob owes 60%) rather than exact amounts.
12 votesWe’ve added better support for splitting bills by percentage in the redesigned web interface – just add a bill and choose “Split the cost unequally”. We hope to bring this feature to our mobile apps soon.
