| 2024-12-16 |  | | Splitwise used to be very useful as a free user. Now you are limited by the number of expense I can submit in a day. I'd be willing to pay for it if it was a perpetual license, but I will not pay for a subscription for an app that does not provide any meaningful monthly service/updates. I will be moving to an alternative app that doesn't put existing functionality behind paywalls. |
| 2024-12-16 |  | | This app was great, but now it's greedy. They removed free features and force users to pay to regain them. It's one thing to introduce new premium features as an incentive to subscribe, it's different to remove existing functionality and hold it hostage. If the app needs to punish free users to be profitable, it wasn't offering enough value in the first place. I really hope they change their business model. |
| 2024-11-23 |  | | 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! |
| 2024-11-11 |  | | I download this app every time I travel with a group of friends. I usually pay the 5 bucks for premium and cancel after. it's worth 5 bucks per trip. the real benefit is that it doesn't matter who throws their card down, as long as they throw it in the app we can just settle up later. and if one person had more drinks or something it's easy to split it by percentage. throw another 10% on their name or whatever to account for a higher spender at a meal. |
| 2024-11-08 |  | | Was good, but not anymore. Now you can't pay others easily through venmo or zelle. This never should have been a subscription app. You kill the app the moment you try to levy a regular fee and there are other apps that have the same functionality for free. You need another monetization model, like ads or a way to store a balance which allows for loans, like venmo. |
| 2024-10-31 |  | | App is broken. Cannot add any source it always goes immediately to pro purchase. Boooooo....... Edit - i upped my star rating from 1 to 4 for two reasons. 1 being that the development team did reach out with options and tentative fixes pretty quickly. I appreciate the follow up truly. 2 once it stopped prompting me to go to pro I was able to get a card added. Not sure if it was a timing thing or a reset on the support end. Either way I'm in! |
| 2024-10-24 |  | | Was a pretty great app for tracking. Emphasis on WAS. Now you can only add a handful of expenses before they lock you out and require their "Pro" subscription. They also make you wait a 10 second timer before adding each expense unless you have "Pro". This isn't how it was before, so it's pretty scummy business practices to change it to be predatory like this, after all this time using it. Time to look for alternative apps. |
| 2024-10-12 |  | | The daily limit, and the actually forced delay to add new items, are ridiculous. The subscription is incredibly expensive. Should offer a one-time payment and would have considered. Recently started using a competitor and have been much happier. Can't recommend. |
| 2024-10-05 |  | | Splitwise does a great job of tracking expenses but it was disappointing to discover that multiple peer-to-peer payments couldn't be passed through without having to open accounts with each one. Our group reverted back to writing checks to settle. We could have done that without Splitwise. |
| 2024-09-23 |  | | I've used this app for many years, mainly to track expenses in my household and to keep a running balance of who owes who, so I only have one, maybe two transactions per day and the free version works great for that. Went on a trip recently and used the paid version to keep track of expenses split between five people, and of course it worked well for that but at $5/mo on a consistent basis I don't believe it would be worth it. Not enough functionality to justify the price. |
