Great start... But too simple

We put this to the ultimate test : 3 flatmates on holiday. The app stood the test, has a good simple presentation and easy to use. Straightforward is the key when you have non-finance people using it. Would recommend to anyone looking to get their house in order. Rent, utilities, food, drinks, all of it.

I think the app is a bit too simple though - and were still doing things by hand or memory. The app has capability to log payments, but what Id like to see integrated is clearing. Not just a total amount of what I need to pay, but what am I paying for. No more questions of "did you pay me for the internet bill?" or rent or whatever.

The all squared meter is too simple. Id like to see by flatmate who owes me (or vice versa) in line detail. Its this overly simplified balance that leaves me uneasy about the flow of money when it comes down to paying and getting all squared.

Adding expenses is a hassle and you have to jump through menus and menus. Its fine for a first version, but maybe a widget with a quick add feature would be good. The more loops we have to go through to add simple stuff entices us to go around the app on little stuff which defeats the purpose.

All in all a good start and I will continue to use. But for me its overly simplified and can use more detail.. Displaying info its already capturing anyway.
