Back from a trip, the hard part isn't sorting photos — it's the money: who paid for the hotel, who covered dinner, how to convert yen, and who finally owes whom. Split Robot lets everyone add expenses on their own phone. Everything syncs instantly, and the app works out who should pay whom with the fewest transfers. ■ Add expenses together, in real time Create a group and share an invite code or QR code. Friends who join can add expenses too, and everyone gets notified. Friends without the app can be added as members first and linked later. ■ Four ways to split ・By ratio: the usual equal split, or adults 1, kids 0.5 ・By shares: nights stayed, drinks ordered ・By amount: everyone ate something different ・By adjustment: split equally, then add or take off for someone Several people can pay for one expense, and you can record income (like refunds) and transfers between members. ■ Settle up with the fewest transfers See who should receive or pay, simplified into the fewest transfers. Prefer to pay back exactly who you owe? Turn simplification off. Someone hasn't paid yet? Send a reminder, or share the reminder text to any chat app. ■ Made for travel Record each expense in the local currency and convert it to the group's currency. Trip groups can show spending for the whole trip, including flights booked before you left. ■ Record without opening the app ・Apple Pay auto-record: set it up once in the Shortcuts app, and every Apple Pay payment is recorded automatically. Personal and shared cards can use different splits ・Add from screenshot: after paying with another app, double-tap the back of your iPhone and the amount and shop are read for you ・Ask Siri to add an expense ・Home Screen widget ■ Faster entry ・Scan receipts to read the amount and date (recognized on your phone — photos aren't uploaded for recognition) ・Taiwan e-invoice QR codes fill in amount, date, shop and items ・Categories are suggested from your past records ・Save frequent expenses as presets ■ Stats and budgets See spending by category, member and month, and set budgets. Export to CSV or PDF. ■ Shared fund Pool money first and pay from the fund — always know how much is left. ■ Easy to read Light and dark modes, five backgrounds, and four text and icon sizes. ■ Safe from mistakes Every change is logged, and deleted records can be restored from Recently Deleted. Sign in with Apple to keep your groups when you switch phones. ■ Pro (optional subscription) Adding, splitting and settling are always free; the free version shows ads. Pro adds: ・No ads ・Unlimited groups (free: 3) ・Unlimited photos (free: 20 per group) ・Search ・Recurring expenses like rent and subscriptions ・Alternate app icons and extra theme colors Monthly and yearly plans, both with a free trial. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be cancelled anytime in Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions.
