FriendCash — Manage Expenses With Friends App Reviews

Misses expense description in the email summary

This app had potential until I entered an event with all my info and then closed app. When I opened the app back up everything was gone. Tried entering everything AGAIN!! SAVED it then closed app again. Reopened to find everything gone again. WASTE OF MY TIME!!!!! I think Im gonna have to PASS on this one....Dont waste your time. JMHO

Confusing and not very friendly UI. Crashed then lost what I was entering.

App turns a simple task in Something Very hard

Took me a while to understand and it need a little more updates

The app looks beautiful, and has a nice layout. The idea is great, really I do mean awesome! IF IT ACTUALLY WORKED RIGHT. The problem is that it does NOT calculate the payments correctly. What I mean is that by just simply adding 2 transactions that took place, with just 3 people involved (a very simple and straight through example) the app completely MISCALCULATES the payments owed. It was saying that I owe money to someone who was not involved in the transaction, and it also said that another person owed twice as much as they should have. I made several attempts, spending about 1 and a half trying diferente ways trying to figure out how it was calculating so poorly. In the end, it is very clear that there is a MAJOR disconnect between who owes who and how much that person owes. Really wished it worked because the app is beautiful and has the potential in becoming VERY useful, it just needs to accurately calculate the transactions between people. Which in reality is the intended function, a function I can NOT trust when I see that with such a simple test if epically fails to perform. Oh and contacting support, no response.

Since the new update it seems a lot more glitchy. I couldnt create a new event, and eventually it just froze up on me. All within a 45 second window.

Ive recently moved into an apt with two roommates and all three of us downloaded friendcash to track our expenses. It performed well tracking various fees/purchases/refunds/etc. The feature I like the most is the ability to sync with dropbox, ensuring that were all seeing the latest numbers. Would be five stars but it has crashed a time or two and also I once changed an email address and it removed the contacts precious records necessitating everything to be re-entered.

This app takes a little time to get the hang of and figure out the best way to use it for what you need. But once you do, it is awesome! It does all the calculations and saves all the info! Great buy!

I use it mostly to keep track of my house expenses, and it really helps to balance everything between 8 roommates

Just used the app to reconcile group expenses for a week in wine country with a bunch of friends. Took only a few moments to do the entry, and left no room for arguments! The final report was in everyones mailbox with only a couple of taps. Brilliant.

Kept track of expenses correctly. Confusing when the list of who owes who money is generated. It can look wrong since it tries to minimize # of payments, but is right.

The design and look of this app gets better with each update. But the proof is in the pudding. I recently went on a trip with 7 friends where we shared expenses. The app was great for recording expenditures (who paid for what and how much each person involveds share was) on the go. That was the most helpful. I used that data to calculate, by hand, what each person should pay to whom. When I compared those results to what the app showed the breakdown should be, it was kind of close but not completely accurate. I will still be using this app in the future because I like its features and convenience, but especially for complicated multi-person calculations, I will unfortunately still need to double check to make sure theyre accurate.

Awesome app.

Its so great that I can add friends without the Address Book now. :D

Great app! Works as intended! I used for a Europe trip!

I like how it doesnt automatically send invite/notice to friends who owe you money. Its great to use as a internal reference just to keep track of things. Would be great if file folders can be customized like different colors etc.

Helps split joint trip expenses perfectly.

If I could rate this app with 6 stars I would

This app is a fantastic tool. We often go on vacation with my family: we rent a big house, and everyone buys groceries or pays for restaurants, etc. We put all the receipts in a jar with whom paid for what and sort it all out at the end - not easy... This app makes it so easy!!! Could be a little more intuitive but the support for this app is excellent when you run into problems!
