Allow importing expenses from a CSV file

I am currently switching from a competitor service and I really don't want to reenter all my sharing history with my friends. A csv import would be great.
Also, this would be quite useful when I go on holidays: I can create a csv file offline on my phone and import it into Splitwise when I get home.

We don’t currently have plans to create a CSV importer, as there’s no standard CSV format for split expenses (and creating one would be rather messy). Importing from a spreadsheet would definitely be a good feature, but not many people have asked for the ability to import, and as a small team we’ve had to prioritize other features for now. So sorry!

If you’re switching from another service, your best bet is to simply transfer over your total balances, rather than your complete expense history. First add the people you have balances with, then add an IOU with each person for your current balance (e.g. “I owe Anna $36 for past expenses”, “Fred owes me $82 for past expenses”, etc.)

    This feature would be absolutely amazing. We have about 35 shared expenses monthly, and reentering all the info from my receipts / credit card statement is a drag! It would be sooo convenient to able able to export selected mint expenses (for the transaction info, Name / Date / Amount / Who Paid could be pulled. Inside the SplitWise app, we could edit how the expenses are being split).

    While importing would be messy - could you not allow an export template with the group info already there. Then when you import, the formatting was already set.

    Currently I am using Settle Up and would like to import my expenses in your application

    I'm coming from Bill Monk and this would be amazing so we have a history of all our transactions in Splitwise

    I'm migrating from Expensure actually.
    Offline support could work too... but I'm a Symbian user, so I don't know if you have any plans to support that OS at all.
