connect t mobile family plan directly to splitwise
we are 8 people sharing a family plan of t mobile, and some of us have bought devices from t mobile, some make international calls, so the charges are different for everyone and splitting them every month is a real pain
4 votesInteresting idea! Thanks for submitting.

Improve on-boarding and FTUX
First time experience is horrible and confusing to non-technical users. Please improve the emails and on boarding so friends know what they are being invited to. Even worse: friends who already had accounts mistakenly signed up with second accounts and didn't know how to merge. We had to delete the group and start over. I had to hand hold everyone and tell them not to add bills or make payments until we were all signed up correctly.
4 votesHey Cindy – really sorry for the trouble! We know this is a weak spot for Splitwise right now, and we’re working on improving it.
The “second accounts” issue is a particularly thorny one, and we’ve been adding features recently to try to help the problem, like a “merge accounts” option on the account settings page of our website. In the longer term, we’d like to add the ability for accounts to have more than one email address, in the hopes of preventing this kind of problem in the first place. We’re also working on a big iPhone update to address a bunch of usability issues, and to give new users more instruction the first time that they use the app. (Those changes should make their way to Android as well, once we measure their impact to learn what works and what doesn’t.)
Again, apologies for all the confusion! If…

Give each group an email address
We use Splitwise to coordinate group expenses. Why not use Splitwise to coordinate group communication? It could be as simple as providing an email address group_name@splitwise.com that forwards to all group members.
4 votesThanks for the suggestion! Yep, we definitely want to add good group messaging – we mostly just haven’t gotten around to it yet :) Hopefully we’ll have something to show you later this year!

Make the 'final' amounts that group members owe each other far more obvious than the amount that you have 'lent' each group member.
As above.
Once all the group members have joined and the receipts have been added, the amount 'lent' by each group member to the individual payees is FAR MORE OBVIOUS than the final 'balance' that you owe. Why do you have to click or hover the cursor over your name on the right hand side to see this balance. It's not the first thing that your eye is drawn to.4 votesSorry for the trouble! Just trying to make sure I understand your feedback correctly – are you talking about the right-hand sidebar on the group screen, which lists each group member and their balance?
When looking at a group, we’ve generally found that people prefer to view the total balances of each group member, rather than the specific amount that each person owes you. I know that different people have different personal preferences, though, so sorry if that’s throwing you off!
I don’t think we’re likely to change which number is displayed there in the near future, but I’ll pass on your message and see if there are any tweaks we can think of to make this clearer. Again, apologies for the confusion!

Button for multiple zero (00 or 000)
Some currencies are usually in thousand (e.g. 54000, 3000, 455000). It will be more effective to use button for multiple zero instead of triple touch the single zero button.
4 votesThanks for the suggestion – I’ll pass it on! I can see how this would be very useful for some currencies.

Integration with Amazon Dash buttons?
My roommate and I both use items that are purchased through my Amazon Prime Dash buttons, it would be nice not to have to keep track of how many times they've been pressed and auto load into splitwise!
4 votesInteresting idea! Not aware of any resources that would be easy to do this integration with but we are always looking for ways to cut down data entry.
Best,

link with walmart/shaws/grocery
Students use splitwise a lot. In their busy schedule its really difficult for them to manually enter bills after group purchases. You can create a system where people can just give in their splitwise id at checkout and they will have the bill available on their app and may be have the items tabulated with option to select who were involved in this product. This involves a lot of work but has a lot of scope. Students might even favor shopping at places that have splitwise support for their groceries. All the data you get about which products people prefer.
4 votesThanks for the suggestion! We’ve thought about a few things like this before – it’s definitely complicated, but it would certainly save our users from manual data entry.

Interesting idea! I’m not immediately sure how feasible this is (i.e. I don’t know how easy it would be to actually fetch all the bill data given a barcode), but I’ll pass on the suggestion.

Make provision for adding a digital version of the bill at the time of payment of the bill directly from the POS
Every time we add bills and expenses, they are generally not for one or two items but a whole lot of things. Like when you go shopping, or a fun weekend, or even groceries. We have to calculate the whole bill manually and then add them bill-by-bill or item-by-item.
Rather than having to keep all the bills or depending on our short-term memory we could just ask the cashier at the POS to add it to our account so that we would get a digital bill. Then we could split each item easily. Imagine recalling the tab at a bar…
4 votesThanks for the suggestion! This would definitely be super-useful – we’ve thought about it before, though it’s not actually on our road map yet. Hopefully it’s something we can work on a bit further down the line. In the meantime, apologies for the inconvenience!

Group cloning feature
I would really help if you could add a clone group feature. I have to maintain expenses on a monthly basis between the same group of people. Creating the same group every time is a pain. Also it would reduce the effort in creating new modified groups.
Like I cloned an existing group and then in the confirmation step, make some modifications if required and then click on a button like create group.
4 votesI’ll bring this up at our next design meeting. We do have a feature on the web to export a PDF of the balance for a group for the month. This might help solve this for you for now.

Add @WorkflowHQ app integration to your service!
Allow iPhone users to automate expense entry in the app via a workflow. The integration should allow to specify which group and percentage to use.
4 votesWe continually review all integration requests when we are planning the future roadmaps of the project. However as a small team we cannot offer any addition information on when we will be able to add them if at all.

Add a trip(or Event) feature inside a group among same friends
A trip or event option inside a group of four friends gives them the ability to see how much they spent for each trip separately rather than showing the total balance of all trip expenses in group dashboard.
4 votesInteresting idea. I’d recommend just creating a different group with the same people.

Financing bill option
Entering a total purchase amount to be split by two people and paid in full by a due date. Then the option to set a monthly/weekly amount due. For example, I financed a purchase with my boyfriend. We have a monthly total due until the amount is paid off. Being able to see the full amount due, but his amount owed to me only reflecting that months payment rather than the total would be nice. This way it would calculate what I may owe him monthly rather than it seeming like he always owes me a large sum.
4 votesInteresting feature! We don’t have the infrastructure in place to support this at the moment but we’ll look into it.

sum of expenses by type
hello :) I think it could be nice if you could summarize your expenses by type (e.g. liquors or entertrainment) :)
4 votesThanks for the suggestion! We have a very basic version of this on our website right now (under “Trends” in the right sidebar), as well as on iPad. Hopefully it’s something we can bring to more devices in the future!

Printable Summary for NonGroup Expenses
Like a printable summary for each separate group, is it possible to get a printable summary for non-group expenses
4 votesThanks for the suggestion! I’ll add this to our list of possible features for the future. For now, you could try exporting a spreadsheet from the friend screen – you can only do it for one friend at a time, but it’ll list all of your non-group expenses with that particular person.

Hi there,
Thanks for the clear suggestion. Makes sense to me, but also probably slow for large accounts.
Leaving open / under review to see how many other folks want to vote for it.

Internationalization
Notifications are not localised properly. Looks like the language of a notification depends on the language setting of the user who caused the notification. See: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/391374/WhatsApp%20Image%202016-09-05%20at%2011.52.54.jpeg
4 votesYup — this is a limitation of our current internationalization infrastructure. We’d love to improve it some day but it’s not presently on the road map. We’ll update this post when that changes. Sorry for any inconvenience caused in the meanwhile!

List view: "Recurring" label not visible on longer entries
In list view, if the text of the bill / entry is longer than ca. 30 characters, it gets truncated with a "..." at the end. Since the "recurring" label (as well as the chat / notes label and the attachment / photo label) get appended at the end of the bill title, they end up being not visible for longer bill titles.
IMHO all this would be solved nicely if all these labels (recurring, chat / comment, attachment / photo) would be added in a separate row under the bill title.
4 votesThanks for the suggestion! I’m not sure we’ll do exactly what you suggest, but we’ll take a look at making the label less likely to disappear.

Split the dashboard and collection information according to currencies
Dashboard summary currently only shows total balances for 1 currency, can we split into multiple the same can be done for "You Owe" and "You are Owed" sections
4 votesThanks for the suggestion! I’m not sure this is quite how we’d do it, but improving multiple currency display in the dashboard is something we can look into when we have the time.
