Latest update makes the free version non-functional unless you only have 3 expenses per day. I set up a new group for a recent weekend trip with multiple people. Expenses entered went into a separate non-group list as well as the group list and cannot be consolidated. I would have paid before the trip if limitations were understood. Now our expense inputs are a mess. The free version is essentially useless. Not willing to pay after the trip to see if that will sort it out. Back to spreadsheets.

Used to be such an amazing app, it was simple but effective. Now, they limit the number of transactions you can add on there if you're a free user. For how essential of an app this used to be, I wouldn't have minded a 1-time unlock fee to get access to unlimited transactions. The subscription gives you access to a whole bunch of (in my opinion) junk. No one was subscribing before and no one still is. Charge me $20 for unlimited transactions forever and it's a done deal. Got to go look elsewhere.

No longer free, and $5/mo is unreasonably pricey for the service offered, especially considering every member of the group must have their own subscription. It still works like it always has, but only with the required subscription. Because Splitwise has been good and free (with ads) for so long, there hasn't been many competitors. That's changing, and I strongly suggest considering an alternative before starting your next Splitwise group.

It is a great app to track expenses between roommates. I've been using it for years. My biggest complaint is they've recently added ads for their pro version whenever you add an expense. This slows down the main feature of the app and adds an unnecessary inconvenience to just try and get you to buy pro. Disappointing after using it for nearly 4 years now.

Love this app for tracking and splitting expenses with others. That would have been a 5-star rating. Absolutely appalled at how inconvenient and inefficient the payment process is. They take the payer's $$ right away and then it takes multiple steps and many days for the payee to receive the funds. On top of that, there is a weekly limit for "withdrawal" of funds, allowing them to hang onto the funds even longer. Our first AND LAST TIME using the payment feature. Settle up outside of the app!

This app has the functionality to track a trip, I've loved using it for years now. But recently, they have gone downhill, including too many unnecessary features, 10 sec ad breaks, and limited the amount of expenses you can add per day to four. All the pain has been created to drive you to their subscription offering. If this app was a one-off payment, I would do it, but a monthly subscription is not worth it. Recommend finding another app.

I've used this app for more than a decade but I don't think I will anymore - they keep imposing more and more restrictions if you don't pay for Pro - now you can only add 3 expenses per day and have to sit through a 10 second ad for Pro first!? no thanks! I'll just go back to using good old fashioned spreadsheets. Took something great, got too greedy, and ruined it.

This app used to be so useful. Now it's unusable without paying for splitwise pro. You can add only 3 expenses per day and you have to watch an ad for splitwise pro, before you can add the 3 expenses. And after 3, you can't add any more at all without paying. Really really disappointed with this change. It used to be free to use all of the functional features. Splitwise pro is in my opinion unreasonably priced, at $5 a month or $40/year. Going to go try Settle Up.

Used to be good, now literal trash. I've had this app for years and it used to be amazing. But at this point everything is hidden behind paywalls and if you don't want to deal with that it severely limits you. 10 sec. ad pauses before entering any expense, very small limit on how many times you can enter per day, and now you can't even pay each other in the app. I used to be able to do all of these things without limit or charge. And it glitches out a lot. I'll be deleting this.

What a great app for tracking and splitting funds up, so brilliant if you go away with friends etc, cannot imagine not using it now. It doesn't matter who pays for what or when or even in whatever currency, then you can split each and everything individually at whatever split you want, sound complex but it's beautifully simple. Fantastic app, great user interface as well. You do pay for the pro version, I tend to buy a month only when I'm going on a trip, worth every penny / cent.
