Cost Split Reviews

by Cookdoggie

I used to love CostSplit for all the reasons mentioned by others. But a few years ago push notifications stopped working, the exchange rates no longer download and inquiries to support go unanswered. I think CostSplit is no longer managed which is too bad, I haven't found an alternative with better features. But when the features don't work you have to move on.

CostSplit is good and I’ve used it in the last couple of years. One suggestion- can folders be created to contain related cost split grouping. I would like to group all the 2018 events together. Thank you.

Could you make an option to view expenses by the month? My girlfriend and I would like to know how much we spend on groceries each month but right now all it shows is all expenses bunched together.

Second the transfer money option weighting is a bit confusing.. why not just make it, I owe her X amount of money so when I want to pay her back I just type in that amount, vs some weird weighting system. I type in $50 and 92 comes up, I mean I haven’t read into why it’s like that and I’m sure there is a logical reason however it seems unnecessary. If I owe her $50, just let me type in $50 to transfer. Paid for premium app btw.

Overall I like it, however some of these features make me want to use a former app I was using. If you could update these I would stay.

I travel frequently with friends and family. CostSplit makes it very easy to tally up at the end of the trip. I was turned onto it by friend, and I use it for every trip now. Excellent app.

CostSplit has everything I could ask for in expense management. Great for a shared vacation. Love the reporting feature.

非常聰明好用的分帳軟體，跟朋友出去靠它，記帳超輕鬆！
The best app to split ever!! But there is a problem, I cannot send the report by email. It always says “ you should have an email account “, I don’t know how to do??

I absolutely love CostSplit. Have been using it for several years. I use it for vacations, team sports, joint birthday gifts, party planning with a group- it’s amazing! I love that it can be weighted per party— the only thing it doesn’t do is let me break down the costs of they’re different. For instance, I bought ski tickets for a party of 15. Some were adult and some were children prices. I couldn’t enter it as one transaction. I had to break it down by line item.. kids and adults. But that’s no big deal. It would be great if there was some sort of notes section too. But this is an amazing app! Great job!

I don’t know how CostSplit is not featured by Apple on CostSplit Store. It is the single greatest app available. I have never had a app that next me with wanting nothing more. It is simply perfect in every way.

This is the best of the cost splitting apps by far, particularly for trips. No fussing with invites and contact info like other apps. Just create a group, add people, and enter their expenses. View expense totals or the optimized payback report at any time.

CostSplit made tracking costs for a family trip. We knew where everyone stood on costs every step of the way.

CostSplit was a godsend on a recent trip abroad with 3 friends. I have noted a few quirks, though. First, although the final report is easy to email, it is impossible to print out so folks could more easily review it to make sure all expenses were included accurately. Please revise so printing can occur without cutting off most of the report. When emailing the report, it did not appear as an attachment, so maybe that's the problem? Second, when you want to include a message to recipients with the report, word replacement function did not work. (Ex: "the repot seys i have..." is replaced with "the rreport ssays iI have..."). Third, I wish CostSplit would let the user designate the exchange rate; the rate that appeared for us was not what we were charged when we got our credit card statements. It may have been current on the day the report was generated, but not when the expenses were incurred. But I still love CostSplit!

All very good. Some people suggest to change the icon layout and color and make it more "trendy", I don't agree: your icon pops out on my homepage on my iPhone making it easier to find among other apps. It's very functional in that sense

CostSplit is great! I travel in groups a lot and this keeps track of who owes who! Little expenses can add up quick! Great way to control free loaders lol! I love is especially when I travel with my mom, she is from Brazil, so mixing currencies can be easily figure out! I Highly recommend CostSplit!

Just what I needed for a bachelor weekend. Different people were always paying and hoping it would all even out in the end. And I didn't need to annoy my friend to create accounts, I just managed it from my one phone and we settled up on our way home.

Just finished a 2 week fly fishing adventure to Colorado with 3 other guys and CostSplit was a god send. Allowed expenses to be transparent to the whole group. Even if they didn’t have an account. The end of the trip spreadsheet and summary were a great feature. Thanks for a perfect simple to use functional app.

I have been looking for an app like this for who knows how long, and this is possibly the best way to design a cost-splitting app. I frequently lose track of how much things cost when I split with a group of 4-6 people (including myself), and this takes care of my problem perfectly.

Pros:
- Allows adding as many people and groups as you want (with a $0.99 upgrade)
- Keeps track of net expenses per person
- Sends individualized reports to group members at the end of your activity
- App is easy to use (mild learning curve)

Cons:
- Honestly? None

Well done, Jacob. CostSplit is a true work of art.

I’ve never felt compelled to write a review of an app before but Cost Split has been such a lifesaver when I travel with friends! Not only can we all easily track expenses but Cost Split figures out how to get everyone the money they deserve in the fewest transactions. So appreciated by me and my group of friends!

All my friends were making fun of me cause I'm so obsessed with CostSplit! Usually money splitting apps are complicated and more trouble than they're worth. I used it for dividing finances during a road trip however and they were all blown away by how easy it was! Had everything divided in minutes.

This is the best app of its kind that I've found, and I highly recommend it! The developer put some serious thought into how to make this easy to use yet powerful. It's easy to do things like split uneven bills. Multiple currencies are a breeze, and exchange rates are easy to update even after the trip. The end of trip summary email feature is fantastic. Unlike some other apps, you aren't forced to sign up for an online account if you don't want to, which is a huge plus.

I would try to do spreadsheets to log costs on trips, but could never do anything like CostSplit. It also becomes a diary of the trip with pictures places visited.
