BEST thing for trips

Best app! I had never heard of it but a friend recommended it for a trip and honestly so good. The three of us used it religiously throughout our two week trip and it saved a lot of brain power and discussions leaving way more time and energy for better things!

Fake pro trial?

Signed up for the free pro trial but the pro features don’t work… emailed the support team and no reply after more than a day. Poor service.

Upcoming app that will be better than splitwise

App Store violation? No exit after forced ad

After tapping ‘Add Expense,’ I got an ad, then got dumped on ‘Add Contacts’ with no way back or to exit. Couldn’t do what I opened the app for. Possible dark pattern - in this case, marketing focused. Two other friends didn’t experience same behaviour and agreed with difference on my Splitwise version/bug.

Really good app

Easy to set up and use, good for splitting up expenses on a holiday

Terrible Now

The updates to the free version of this app have made it unusable. And frankly, you should not need to pay a subscription to use the most basic functions of an app. Shameful.

Excellent app

I always use this app when travelling. It is efficient and so easy to use.

Notification spam

Abused notification privileges to run self-promotional marketing material.

Works great

We use it on all multi person trips and it’s great for starling everyone up at the end of the 100%👍

Súper útil

Me encanta he podido alinearme rápido con los gastos de la familia, ya que la aplicación hace la división de los mismos, etc

Hopeless

Way too confusing lots of ways of everyone changing their methodology - everyone else said nothing owed to me while the app said I was Owed EUR 285 hopeless - I’m deleting it

Trash app

Doesn’t split well, does wizard math and allows folks to settle up before everyone joins resulting in uneven amounts

Seems like a good idea, it’s not

If you use this app with people who don’t earn very much money or who are very tight, expect arguments. When everyone is adding the costs, it will seem fine and hunky dory, but the minute it comes to paying the cost, it descends into pettiness and cheap behaviour.

I have used this twice now for holidays and it has turned into petty quibbling over literal pennies both times. I will never use this again.

Like I said in the title, seems like a great idea, but it’s not in practice, it descends into pettiness and awkward, passive aggressive nonsense.

Just be a normal adult person and split everything equally, if you can’t afford it then you should question whether you should even be there in the first place/whether you can afford to be there.

Perfect for groups

This app is a life-saver for anyone who likes travelling with friends.

Bugs

This is not the type of app that can afford to have simple entry field bugs. There is frequently a problem with copying numbers into the amount owed when adding an expense. It will not let you proceed and you have to enter the number from memory. This is on iOS.

There’s also a bug that stops you from making an expense owed by just a few people from your group. This app has been around long enough. These bugs are embarrassing.

Unintuitive from onboarding to uninstall

Enough said

Current Version Sucks

I’ve had this app for multiple years and it was super easy to use. I recently went on a trip and tried splitting costs with friends and it was so difficult and annoying. After adding 2 expenses you have to watch an add before you can load another. You used to be able to hit “settle up” and pay everyone out through Venmo and it would be logged but now they have hidden this option and should you figure out how to pay through Venmo it won’t register the payment and you’ll be forced to manually close out the item.

Essentially the functionality of the app was ruined in order for them to monetize it more.

Horrid

Awful app. Keeps converting to other countries dollars. I edit it multiple times and it makes no difference. Then you reach your daily limit with no warning. Constant ads. Highly recommend you try an actual good app and not that purposefully scams.

Great app

So useful when I went on a hen do, and again organising a joint party!

This app is amazingggggg

Love it, helps organized and split bills so easily
