### 4/5 — Good, couple improvement ideas

*2025-10-22, version 18.0.0*

Good interface, hard to tell how many Splits I have. Also want to be able to make “dummy” participants because I can just assign them to items myself vs everyone individually having to join

### 2/5 — Add an offline functionallity

*2024-04-19, version 18.0.0*

For $40 a year, I expect more. This app is completely useless if one person doesn’t have a phone/internet.

### 2/5 — Nice idea but…

*2024-03-27, version 18.0.0*

I love this idea and it definitely works well. The only thing that is annoying is I want to be able to just spit the bill on MY end without having to invite people. I picked up the bill at a restaurant and days later my friends reminded me to charge them. I remember exactly what everyone got and partook in and want to be able to just assign the items to my friends quickly on my end just to calculate what they owe me, but i HAVE to invite my friends to the bill in order to do that? I just want there to be a way to skip the invite step and be able to use the split function to avoid the awkwardness of sending my friends an app invite just to do the calculations

### 1/5 — 👎

*2024-02-21, version 17.0.0*

There is an error in verifying whether you are a real person. The page cannot be refreshed. An error message appears

### 1/5 — Game changer but lost me three friends.

*2024-02-21, version 17.0.0*

Went out with four coworkers and pulled the app out when the check came. The other three glanced at each other awkwardly and one said they assumed we were going to just split the bill four ways. I explained that I had only one drink while two of the others had two drinks (additional tax), one of colleagues ordered a starter, my meal (vegetarian) was several dollars cheaper than the others, and wouldn’t it be more equitable if everyone selected what they’d ordered off the receipt and then Venmo’d me what they’d ordered? 

Needless to say, the app worked, but I haven’t been invited out for dinner and drinks in a month. Buyer beware.

### 1/5 — I will not give you my phone number

*2024-02-20, version 17.0.0*

.

### 5/5 — Best app for going out with friends

*2024-02-12, version 16.0.0*

Easy to use and fast. This is the best way to split bills and make sure everyone pays their own tab. Quickly splits up a bill into individual items and you’re able to split items with friends. Tax and tip included and links right to your Venmo. Way better than just splitting it evening.

### 5/5 — how is this not huge

*2024-02-09, version 16.0.0*

blows my mind that more people haven’t caught on to this yet. i use it at every dinner out with friends and everyone always asks why this wasn’t a thing until now. so simple, so essential.

### 5/5 — A must have!

*2024-02-05, version 1.15.0*

This app is the best I've ever used for splitting group bills accurately and efficiently. It's simple, It's reliable, and it works even if you don't download the app. 

I recently used it with a group of 11 people and successfully divided and collected payment for nearly $5,000 worth of bills. Not a penny was left unaccounted for. 

Unless you got the cash to pay for a meal for the whole team no strings attached, you need this app. Annddd if your friends spend enough you'll eat for free off credit card points.

### 5/5 — This app bangs

*2024-02-03, version 1.15.0*

This thing is just too sick for settling a tab after going out. Props to the crew that built this, one of those apps that’s so dope it seems obvious in hindsight 👏

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Requires everyone to have an account to split

*2026-05-31, version 20.0.0*

I just want an app to let me say how many people, give them names, and do the dividing. Any app that requires all the people on the check to make an account is ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Charged & No Reply

*2026-05-21, version 20.0.0*

Downloaded this app to split the bill for a birthday brunch. A girl in the group recommended it. Good idea, but for an annual subscription of $45, I can do math myself. I saw there was a “free 3 day trial” and after taking care of the bill, I deleted my account so I wouldn’t be charged. However, I guess going into the app and deleting your account doesn’t work? After 3 days I got charged $45 for my “annual subscription.” Turns out you have to physically go into your settings and apps and cancel the subscription. Not sure why deleting my account after 1 day into the free trial didn’t work. So, I reached out to the support email to see if there was anything they could do to possibly reimburse me. $45 is not a small amount for something I will never use again. Never got a reply from the tech support and I thought at least I’d get a response saying they cannot refund me. Poor customer service and not clear on how to make sure you don’t get charged the subscription fee.

### 1/5 — No longer functional!

*2026-02-17, version 18.0.0*

No app updates in 2 years. Website is non-functional.  App has bugs that won’t let me log out of editing mode so friends can’t itemize and pay.  Apple needs to drop this from the App Store if it’s no longer supported and updated.

### 1/5 — Can’t use without giving access to all contacts

*2025-05-06, version 18.0.0*

Costs too much, also makes me give access to contacts, I can’t add people manually. No thank you! When I tried to delete my account that also didn’t work.

### 1/5 — Nobody in Canada has venmo

*2024-12-01*

I can’t create a splyt without having a venmo or cash app account? Those don’t even exist in Canada. This should not be on the Canadian App Store.

### 1/5 — Will bill you for free trial

*2024-11-19, version 18.0.0*

This app will automatically bill the credit card you have on file with Apple for a free trial that you cancel within the appropriate timeframe if the app isn’t useful for your purposes.

If you do the free trial and cancel before you have to pay, check your credit card statement.

### 1/5 — Subscription needed…? Really?

*2024-06-10, version 18.0.0*

Cool UI but dude… I need a subscription to use this? Let’s face it-these bill splitter apps are glorified spreadsheets…

There’s plenty other apps like this that are simple and non-predatorial. If you want to make money on this app I suggest taking another angle

### 1/5 — Now charge monthly

*2024-03-20, version 18.0.0*

This used to be a free service and now charges for basic features

### 1/5 — Subscription not honored

*2024-03-11, version 17.0.0*

I made a subscription but it does not work and it shows that I still have the free version. There is no contact information for the developer to help troubleshoot or get a refund. What a waste of money

### 1/5 — Deleted it the same day I got it.

*2024-02-25, version 17.0.0*

Firstly, there’s a limit to the number of checks you can split within a month without paying for the app. That almost made me delete it. What finally made me delete it was that you can’t just select what your others got manually—you have to send them a link so they each have to do it themselves.

I don’t want to be the person to ask my friends to each check their phones for a link after dinner to select what they got at the restaurant so they can send me the right amount. I’d rather do it myself and ask them to send it to me once I’ve got it figured out.

Seems like all this app cares about it increasing its user base and cash flow. Not surprising, but definitely annoying.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-06-11, version 21.0.0*

Very easy to use. Makes things convenient when having dinner with friends. 100% recommend

### 5/5 — Wow

*2025-12-29, version 18.0.0*

I have never left a review for any app, ever. But this one is so fantastic I had to! This makes things so much easier when going out with friends. Life saver!

### 5/5 — Great for young ppl in the city

*2025-07-18, version 18.0.0*

So good - a must have if you split meals with friends. $40 a year is a bit steep but the convenience of not having to do math to split things is amazing

### 5/5 — MUST HAVE APP for group trips

*2024-10-02, version 18.0.0*

This app makes it possible to split the bill exactly as it would be if you had separate checks. 

You have to upload the receipt before it shows you the items. And they cannot be assigned until you invite people. I recommend doing a test receipt first to get familiar with it. Ask a friend to help you so you can send them the link as a test. 

Once you figure it out, it’s incredible! My favorite feature is that it splits the tax & tip by only your items. It does not split it evenly by the amount of people splitting the bill.

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2024-03-28, version 18.0.0*

I have tried many bill splitting apps. This has been one of my favorites. My friends have also started using it. It is extremely user friendly and does a well job in capturing receipts and splitting it. I also love that it’s easily customizable to receipts that may have some other service charges that are added that are harder to capture in other apps that I have used previously. Highly recommend downloading this app!

### 5/5 — FINALLY SOMETHING THAT WORKS!

*2024-03-27, version 18.0.0*

Wow my friend got me to try this app and I’m never going back. Definitely buying the paid version. Super fast, user friendly, and easy to share. Finally something that works!!

### 5/5 — Works and is useful. Splyt is lit

*2024-03-10, version 17.0.0*

All in the subject

### 5/5 — hands down the best app to split a bill

*2024-03-09, version 17.0.0*

i’m always going to big group dinners and lunches and this is by far the best app to use to pay for exactly what you got. I love the pre-split feature for shared items so you don’t have to wait for everyone to find out how much you owe. not to mention the tip/tax is applied to your subtotal so you’re not paying extra. it’s very quick and easy and directs you straight to venmo to pay :)

### 5/5 — Game changer

*2024-03-09, version 17.0.0*

This app is a game changer for anyone wanting to collect credit card points on a big bill and not have to worry about everyone paying their part!

### 5/5 — Muy Bueno

*2024-02-21, version 17.0.0*

Exelentemente grande la aplicacion
