### 4/5 — Excellent App

*2024-11-18, version 2.3.3*

Back Up Needed

### 2/5 — Not working

*2024-01-21, version 2.3.3*

Why is it not working anymore

### 2/5 — Address book crash

*2020-07-13, version 2.3.3*

App does what it should.

iOS 13.5.1: When adding people via address book, the app crashes.

### 5/5 — One of the best apps ever

*2018-01-29, version 2.3.3*

I use this every time I travel with my sisters. We don’t have to worry about payback, whoever has money handy can pay and we resolve at the end. It’s just so easy and fabulous.
It even works with foreign currency, so when traveling in Europe we could just add expenses in Euros and it converts.

### 5/5 — Best app purchase I've made

*2017-10-09, version 2.3.3*

I bought this year's ago when I read a review of it. I use it for every single trip I go on with friends. Just this past weekend, I used it for a five day road trip. Previously, I've used it for a trip that had three couples, two singles, and a few kids. Because you are able to change the coefficient (i.e. Singles are 1 and one from each couple is a 2, and couples with kids could be 3 or more), it adjusts each added expense exactly how you want it to be allocated. And the way it resolves payments at the end is so simple, although often in an unexpected solution. I can't imagine figuring out multi-expense paybacks without it!!

### 5/5 — I use this app whenever I travel

*2017-10-08, version 2.3.3*

I’ve had this for years, I think I must have paid for it ages ago, and it’s been invaluable. It doesn’t do much but it does what it sets out to, namely saving me from having to do complicated maths when I’m out with friends. I did briefly switch to an app where everyone could enter things on their own phone but that complicated the process, I find it much easier when one person takes charge (me!). Thank god they updated this for iOS 11.

### 5/5 — Great update to iOS 11

*2017-10-02, version 2.3.3*

Thank you SO much for updating this. I am reliant on this app to split our weekly game tabs, and it was always complaining that the developer needs to update it. This week when I opened it for our monthly settlement - pleasantly delighted to have found this updated for 11. Long time coming, very well done; thank you.

### 5/5 — Perfekt

*2017-10-01, version 2.3.3*

Vielen, vielen Dank für das iOS-11-Update. Ich liebe diese App 🤓

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2017-09-28, version 2.3.3*

Really really really pleased that this app will now work with IOS11. I use it a lot and rely on it. I have been looking around for another app but could not find one I was happy with. I can now stop looking and update to the new OS. Many thanks to the developers for taking the time to bring this app up-to-date.

### 5/5 — 64bit app!

*2017-09-22, version 2.3.3*

Great app, been using it for years. Glad to see it got updated to 64 bit finally, for iOS 11 (review updated after the update dropped)

### 5/5 — OS11

*2017-09-22, version 2.3.3*

Love this app, I was worried if it doesn't get updated! But finally did. Thanks. It is simple, easy to use and awesome reporting.

### 5/5 — La meilleure application

*2017-09-22, version 2.3.3*

La meilleure application par sa simplicité et sa légèreté. Et son efficacité : gère très bien les multi devises. Je suis utilisateur depuis 2011 et cette appli me sert beaucoup en voyages. On peut envoyer des compte rendus par mail aux autres participants . Seule manque la possibilité de sauvegarder ou d'exporter un fichier d'un appareil à l'autre. Prochaine mise à jour ? Heureux que la compatibilité IOS11 soit effectuée après 4 ans sans évolution.

### 4/5 — Update for iOS 11

*2017-09-20, version 2.3.2*

Will you update the app?

### 1/5 — Impossible à ouvrir

*2025-08-03, version 2.3.3*

J’ai payé et il ne cesse de se fermer tout seul malgré le paiement pour l’utilisation à vie

### 1/5 — Brilliant app

*2024-12-13, version 2.3.3*

UPDATE DEC 2024
This once brilliant app has stopped working. It’s not allowing new events and simply disappears when asked to do anything. Ditto after deleting the app, resetting my iPhone and reinstalling the app. So from 5* (for a good many years) to 1* in its present non-working form. I’m saddened.
OLD REVIEW
I’ve used this app for a good many years and it’s never let me down. It’s useful when holidaying with others and, because it does all the maths for you and minimises who pays what it saves so much time and effort.

### 1/5 — Was amazing, not working now

*2024-11-03, version 2.3.3*

As soon as i press the + icon it crashes, nothing i can do

### 1/5 — Bug!!

*2024-06-22, version 2.3.3*

Tried everything, restart phone, delete app and re-download, clean up app to make space, check for updates in App Store… doesn’t work. Every time I want to add an event in the Share-a-bill app, it shuts down!!

### 1/5 — Was good, now useless

*2024-05-31, version 2.3.3*

I’ve used the paid-for version of this for a few years and it was great until recently. Now just crashes and is completely unusable.

### 1/5 — Shut dawn after app launch

*2023-12-31, version 2.3.3*

We submitted email to repair it but nothing 
2 years record lost because no i cloud in the app

### 1/5 — Tolle Idee, SW funktioniert aber nicht!

*2018-02-04, version 2.3.3*

Die Idee der App ist super und habe diese auch jahrelang erfolgreich verwendet. Selbst vor iOS schon!
Seit iOS 11 nur noch Probleme....
Erst gab es keine 64Bit App, jetzt stürzt die App beim hinzufügen von Personen reproduzierbar ab.
Meine Empfehlung „Cost Split“ stattdessen verwenden.

### 1/5 — Goodbye - iOS 11

*2017-07-17, version 2.3.2*

Looks like this app won't be useful anymore. Unless the developer updates it for iOS 11. Too bad really. It's been super useful over the years

### 1/5 — Decepcionado

*2015-05-01, version 2.3.2*

Lleva tiempo sin ninguna mejora y eso que he intentando ponerme en contacto con los programadores. Buscando otra aplicación que cubra el hueco que va a dejar esta. Fue buena en su momento.

### 1/5 — Total BS

*2015-03-04, version 2.3.2*

Folks, don't buy it. Calculations are all wrong. Just came back from Europe, skiing with friends for 3 weeks. Can you understand my frustration when I discovered we owe each other different amounts? Shame the developer! Want my money back!

### 5/5 — Super pratique !

*2024-08-27, version 2.3.3*

Après avoir tâtonné pour en comprendre tous les fonctionnements , cette appli s'avère correspondre exactement a ce dont j avais besoin. Le mode de repartions des dépenses n est pas évident , mais il permet finalement de gérer tous les cas de figures.
Et surtout, une restitution en fichier Excel est possible, très pratique.

### 5/5 — The best to share a bill

*2023-08-23, version 2.3.3*

I use this app every year when i’m on holiday. I hope the developer will update this app for the next ios updates 😀

### 5/5 — Die Beste

*2023-08-13, version 2.3.3*

Gefühlt nutze ich die App seit Jahrzehnten. Jede Reise, ob zu zweit oder 12+ Personen. Einfach super. 
Noch nie gabs Stress. 
Und das alles offline!!! Wen gehen denn meine Ausgaben was an?
Share a bill ist perfekt.

### 5/5 — Brilliant app

*2023-07-16*

I’ve used this app for a good many years and it’s never let me down. It’s useful when holidaying with others and, because it does all the maths for you and minimises who pays what it saves so much time and effort.

### 5/5 — Versatile and Easy to Use

*2021-08-29, version 2.3.3*

Used successfully for years on sailing trips with changing crew and multiple currencies.
Clear results for all to see. Great app !

### 5/5 — Sencilla y práctica

*2020-08-02, version 2.3.3*

Magnifica aplicación para controlar las cuentas entre amigos. Muy sencilla de usar y cubre todas las necesidades

### 5/5 — Share PDF in whatsapp

*2019-04-07*

Please activate feature like share in all apps in pdf format 
Awesome app 10star

### 5/5 — Deposit option

*2019-01-12, version 2.3.3*

If someone gives you a deposit for a expense where do you substrate that from the cost!?

### 5/5 — Great app for trips with friends

*2018-11-06, version 2.3.3*

I have used for more than 8 years. Unfortunately with iOS 12, the app crashes when adding people from the address book... time for an update ?

### 5/5 — Does what it says

*2018-04-17, version 2.3.3*

For an app like this, all you can ask is that it does what it says on the can, effectively and accurately. I like the multiple, user-defined currencies, I like that you don’t have to create an account for it to work, I like that you can change the weighting for each expense, I like that it’s quick and easy to use, and I like that you can email a complete to everyone at the end. I’ve been using it for 6 years and I hope to continue using it.
