### 2/5 — It used to work

*2025-12-26, version 1.3.4*

Can’t say I’d recommend this app anymore. I get json errors more often than success when I need the numbers quickly to split a bill. Most of the time it lets me down when I need it the most.

### 5/5 — Super user friendly

*2024-08-02, version 1.0.5*

Makes splitting the bill so easy and seamless. Highly recommend for anyone who eats out often with friends!

### 5/5 — convenient and easy to use

*2024-08-01, version 1.0.5*

This app is so helpful for splitting bills with friends! All you need to do is take a photo of the receipt and the app will automatically generate the bill which you can divide amongst friends. I really like that you can add people by phone number and use the app’s venmo integration to automatically request them.

I love how this app offers capabilities that no other bill splitting apps do (especially making splitting shared items so easy). I use this to split groceries, restaurant bills, and everything in between. I save so much time with this app!

### 5/5 — WHERE WAS THIS IN COLLEGE!!

*2024-07-21, version 1.0.3*

This app is AWESOME! My friend group struggled so much in college when it came to splitting bills properly at restaurants, trips, or even with roommate purchases. The app is so simple to set up and I love the fact that I can easily scan the receipt instead of manually inputting every detail into my notes app and try to do the math later. The best part is that it connects to my venmo automatically, so I can charge my friends quickly and settle bills fast without losing money weeks later because I forgot what people ordered!
