    Thanks for the detailed feedback – it’s always useful to hear, and I’ll pass it on :)

    One small feature you may not be aware of: on our website, Splitwise does allow you to add group members without email addresses, which hopefully helps for the “large party” scenario. My apologies that the same feature isn’t available on our mobile apps!

    Actually, I found a faster way:

    Just enter the name of the person you want to add and use any fake username at mailinator.com (e.g. fshg4958430584@mailinator.com). And you're done, no hassle.

    I agree, this is pretty bad. If you can create a group where not everyone has an email, why can't you add additional people to the group withtout sending an invitation? What this does is force me to re-create the group from scratch when I realize that I forgot a person. That's frustrating. You said you were considering making emails optional a year ago. Did you come to a conclusion?

    We agree that managing recurring bills could be better. Currently, the way to edit recurring bills is to change the most recent copy and that will change ones that follow. It will not affect the past expenses.
    We’re considering how to improve this, and will leave this under review for now.

    What I would like to see is the ability to create an "undefined" recurring bill. The day of the recurring bill, you would be asked to input the amount.

    You could also choose to input the amount early which would cancel the reminder to do it. To do this, I would have only the next recurring bill show up as a future expense in the list of all expenses. So if it's a monthly bill, you only see the next month. The month after that will only show up after the reminder date has passed.

    Personally, I would set those bills one day after I usually get the bill by email (from my electricity company for example). This way, if I get the email and have time to record it in the Splitwise app then I'll do it right away and if not, I'll know that I'll be reminded the next day anyway.

    I would make the font of the "undefined recurring bills" red or something in the expenses list after the reminder has passed so that you don't forget about them.
