Splittr - Expense Splitting 4+

I use Splittr for both estimating, recording and “splitting” my overseas travel expenses. At the start I enter any pre-payments then estimates and during the trip record expenses. It allowed me to handle a 5 week trip through multiple countries with friends where we ended up being just $10 apart in our shared expenses and I had no surprises with my own budget.

I travel with people who don’t like the detail stuff and don’t want to do the actual budgeting. Splittr lets me record all our seperate contributions for them without them needing access to it. Of course, if people do want to record expenses themselves (I wish) they have the option to join and do so.

Note: Splittr doesn’t really have an estimating function but I’ve been able to run multiple lists or update entries to achieve this function.

I like:
Easy interface
Currency conversions
Cloud based - can enter on phone or iPad and updates between
Backup because cloud-based (so if I lose phone I have iPad)
Registration isn’t onerous and personal details aren’t requested
Adding people to a group is easy
Easy to use - stays on the default currency and default group but easy to change.
Able to weight contributions
Simple breakdowns and statistics
No flakiness - very stable app

Nearly perfect for splitting any expenses incurred as a group. Mostly intuitive and easy to use. It does everything I can think of that one might want for this task. Very minor gripes: deleting an expense, payment or other item wasn't obvious (swipe it); it would be a little easier if you could apportion an expense unevenly as part of the creation wizard, rather than having to save it as an even split, then edit. Wish list: a pop up calculator option when entering an expense, a way of backing entries up to the cloud.

Some apps gets close to what you are hoping for. Splittr exceeded my expectations - brilliant tool which I think I’ll continue using not only for holidays but also for friends and family where bar, restaurants and other costs are shared. I also use it for our share house expenses.

However, the new ad platform sometimes doesn’t give any way to close when it’s a gaming video ad being shown and the only way to get back to Splittr is to close and reopen. I don’t mind watching an ad but after the countdown to not get an X to close is annoying.
