Splid – Split group bills 4+

I’ve gone on holiday with 2 other couples and splitting every round of drinks or restaurant bill 3 ways was a pain, as people often struggle to produce the right money (like if the bill is £27 and everyone only has a £20 note), and it just made paying each bill longer. With Splid we just take turns to pay the full amount, log it in the app and Splid works out who owes who what. If one person pays a large bill like car hire they might get let off the next couple of rounds of drinks.
It’s worked really well for us and the only thing to remember is that transactions are shown in the order they’re logged. You can edit the date but not the time so if you forget to add a transaction until after the next one has been added they won’t be in the correct order on the screen. (Being able to edit the time would be a nice app enhancement for us forgetful types).

I transition to this app from SplitWise following the recent update that ruined that app for me. Splid is incredibly straightforward and simple to use, and I instantly paid for the app to support the developer as a result. As others have reviewed, I think there are few things that could be implemented to make this great app even better: 1. Get notifications, and show in the feed, when a transaction has been deleted. 2. The ability to identify as one of the people on the group/ to set my identity in the summary tab. This would get rid off the need to see what other people owe, and just show the bills that affect me. 3. A follow on from the previous point, but to automatically default to the person I have identified as when adding a bill. 4. Allow sorting in the “expense” tab by inputted date and created date, as well as reversing this. Thanks again for the app! 5. An option for recurring expenses.

Exactly what we needed to settle expenses when a group of friends went on holiday.

I like the option of multicurrency
And the ability to split bills to certain individuals.

Well done.

Please add these in your future enhancements

1. Ability to store photo receipts so we can throw those paper receipts after taking a picture of them.
2. We used credit cards for expenses which were paid in local currency to get best rate, eg Euros. But the credit card is settled in Sterling Pounds so the conversion rate will be slightly different
So I had to later convert the Expenses from Euro to Sterling transactions.
It would be nice to have 2 fields. One in the local currency which was paid in and the other settlement value from the credit card.
If the settlement value is not filled, then the auto converted value is used for the final settlement.
