Splittr - Expense Splitting Reviews

by Jbttrfly7

I downloaded this for a friends trip to Boston. We all set up our profiles and added our PayPal info. We were easily able to add anything paid for and split with the right people. However the issue came at the end of the trip when trying to settle up. We thought we would be able to pay direct from Splittr but that didn’t seem to be the case. Every way I tried to figure it out, it didn’t work. Why ask for PayPal account of you can’t actually pay someone.

Besides that ending, everything else was great but this was a pretty big flaw.

I have used Splittr a number of times over the past couple of years. Last time was a few months ago. We just started a trip and we’re surprised to find out that the current version is much less intuitive than previously. This is a trap app developers get into: Keep throwing requirements in and a previously simple and graceful app that did one thing well now does many things-poorly. To be clear, this used to be simple and intuitive and is now inscrutable. Clearly little or no user involvement before release.

We have used splitter for 4+ years & really like it. It is great for keeping track of your own expenses on a trip or splitting expenses with friends on a trip. In the past I think R, the developer, has been very helpful with problems & responsive to suggestions. That doesn’t appear to the case as much probably due to the volume of users. Also ads have recently become an integral part of Splittr , which I understand due to the need for income. However they come with sound that can’t be turned off easily. This causes problems if you are in a public space or in a room with someone that is sleeping. It would be great to be able to turn off all sound for Splittr in the future R.

With 8 of us taking a trip to Europe I wanted something to track expenses because it was 2-3 of us paying for most things with the knowledge that we would make it right with each other after the break.

The reason I like Splittr over others is because not everyone cares to login so I needed something that can track “virtual people” as well as people that want to login.

What I think should be improved is the “settling up” feature. The report is good but it confuses everyone with the way it’s done now and no effective way to double check that it’s correct. But it does let you export the report to CSV/PDF to manipulate so that helps.

The first time I used this for a trip, the costs overview was a bit difficult to understand. But once I really sat down with it I understood and it made sense. One thing I’m not totally crazy about is the fact that every time I enter a new cost, my profile is the sole payer and I always have to un-click myself and select the payer. I’m often the person tacking the payments in the group, so I’m always entering, but not always the main payer!
I appreciate the different ways to split payments too if someone wants to pay more for a shared expense.

Really like Splittr but unfortunately since I switched to a new phone (while Splittr creator was so kind as to help me use my old profile) I get adds now even though I bought the premium version :-(
Would be kind if that could be fixed.
In any way: I would recommend to create an account right away to make sure there’s no problem when switching phones.
Thanks!

We travel often with friends. In the old days before this app we would write down every expense and who paid for what. It was painful to settle up at the end of the journey, and we probably made a lot of mistakes. We read about this app in a news article when it was quite new and have been enthusiastic users ever since. Early on there were a few things Splittr couldn’t do for us, and I corresponded with Raphael. He was so receptive to the feedback, and Splittr now has all the features we need. I keep the “books” on this app when we travel, but the whole group loves Splittr as much as I do. Love being able to email everyone a statement at the end of the trip so everyone can check everything over. It’s truly a great, great app.

We travel a lot with friends. And split large presents for family between siblings. For years we had various spreadsheets and tallies to keep track of this. this app has far exceeded my expectations and made shared expenses incredibly easy to keep track of. It’s well worth upgrading to the paid version to be able to use multiple currencies, too!

by Ncaskey

If you travel with friends...I’m always making the plans and booking activities, flights and places to stay.... Splittr truly gets rid of the spreadsheets and keeps up with who owes what! You can even do “progress payments” to settle up before the trip is done! And you can even print out reports if you have a friend that needs the paper- LOL. I promise you when I say you’ll love it!

Just came back from a week in Nashville with a group of 6 (2 we’re a couple, the other 4 single) taking turns buying rounds, dinner, tickets etc. Typed in the expenses, who participated, who paid and boom it was done. Easy to name each expense and Splittr auto fills date and time entered. At the end Splittr figured out how much everyone spent and who owed who. I liked how you can change the weighted shares for different expenses. For example an Uber costs the same for a couple or a single so as we had a couple we could adjust for that type of situation. Already set up my trip to Spain and live how Splittr converts Euros to Dollars.

I use Splittr together with my kids’ dad to keep up with all of our shared expenses. We’ve been using it for a couple years now and it’s so much easier than using a spreadsheet. We have the percentage of responsibility preset so Splittr automatically allocates the amount owed. I also use it to help me and my boyfriend keep up with expenses we share as well.

Great app. Well conceived features, easy to use and to understand. I'm finding it really useful on an international trip with a friend. The idea of the built-in currency converter is genius.

At the end of the trip, I remained just as enamored with Splittr . It works really, really well.

At the end of the last trip, I made a suggestion to the developer which he made happen. That also impressed me.

Splittr has changed my life- truly! Ive told so many friends about it and now it has become a verb- "Shall we this app it?"
One bit of feedback- when you create an event it automatically uses your default currency and you cant change it later. Maybe insert the option when creating a group to either use default or change it?
Thank you for creating Splittr!

So easy to enter different denominations, for one entry you might only have the dollar amount, another you enter in euros, pounds, etc. You can also give one person a percentage of the split. This worked well when my niece left our trip early so she only paid for two days of a six-day car rental. You can email a PDF to everyone when you’re done. Splittr is amazing, and perfect and I love it!

I was paying $100 a year for access to a co-parenting app, primarily for the expense tracking feature. My ex had to pay the same amount. Other than expense tracking and the calendar, we didn’t utilize any of the other features. I’m so thankful we found Splitr. Now we use this and share kids appointments in Apple calendar for free and it’s much easier to use. Highly recommend.

We use this app for our annual trip to Hilton Head with two other couples. Splittr is so easy to enter who paid for a meal or event and which of the six participated in it. At the end of the week I am able to quickly pull the status report to see who is owed money or who owes the other person. No worries about who paid for the expensive dinner or whatever. It all is split out evenly at the end of the trip! Love Splittr!

Man, thinking back on the way we did it before when traveling with my wife’s siblings… what a logistical nightmare. this app is dead easy. The free version works fine, but being able to log amounts in different currencies (not to mention removing the ads) makes paying for the paid version worth it. Plus, this is the kind of useful app you feel is worth rewarding the developer for making. Try the free version to start. It’s amazing!!

I have used a couple of expense manager apps, and this app is the best so far! The fact that it can accommodate currencies and export to PDF and Excel is a bonus. Plus, even if a member does not create a profile to join a group, you can track expenses on your own! The all in one features and ease of Splittr , plus ability to upload pictures makes Splittr undeniably one of the best in its class. I highly recommend this app over Splitwise and other expense apps.

by Joevgreathead

This is one of those rare apps that is well focused in its purpose, does what it does very well, and doesn’t overcomplicate it. I love getting a full PDF export when settling up, I love all the options for entry and splitting. I can easily see using Splittr for as long as it is supported. (My only request would be to save me a click and let me automatically go into the one group I have when I open Splittr .) Shout out to the developer and thank you!

this app is the easiest app to keep track of single or shared expenses. Easy to use and edit. Love how it converts foreign currency to see where you are at on the fly, then easy to modify once the dreaded credit card bill come in with the banks converted amounts. Great to quickly see the answers to the questions that inevitably come up like “What was that restaurant on Saturday night in Paris” captures images if needed. If this would sync with an app like TripCase, it would be unbeatable.

by MJ In Maui

It keeps getting easier to use and I like the new features especially adding a photo which clarifies whether a check was actually given or cash was given. The notes section is always helpful. It makes my accounting so much easier. Have found multiple uses for it, and I’m sure I will moving forward as well.

by Chellrae

Awesome for organizing vacation travel with others, where everyone takes responsibility for a certain aspect (lodgings, airfare, tours, car rental) and you all settle up later. Also great when you take turns picking up meals, drinks, Ubers, etc. with friends but you want to be fair. Settle up once a month and close the episode. Love!

by Damonx

I’ve used Splittr on about 5 or 6 trips with groups of friends and it just makes life so much easier!
There are many options to enter an expense and everything is super user friendly! I recommend it to everyone traveling in groups needing something simple to keep track of the expenses.

Before this app, when traveling with a group, we all kept our receipts for group expenses and I spent hours in a spreadsheet to evenly split costs. this app completed eliminated that—we now each input costs the minute we expend them and Splittr calculates who owes what to whom. Anything that saves me hours of my life deserves 5 stars.

Splittr helps me and my roommate SO MUCH! We go 50/50 on almost all groceries, home supplies & utilities! Having this app makes us able to just pay for stuff as we go and do one simple equalization payment at the end of the month without ever having to do any math at all 🙌🏼 this is also amazing for trips with big groups too
