Your home view is throwing a “No entry is registered for key user_country” on iOS webview, it’s also spitting out a partial stack trace, you might want to consider not showing this to users in production environments, not sure how you do that with Zend but i would think it’s trivial to configure

#72For small apps like these, sign up is really a pain. That is why a friend and I have been working on a simplified version, which is mostly based on links so you can also easy share a tab: https://grouptabs.net We also try to keep the interface very simple, and it works offline.
I think if signup is a pain, use OAuth.

#73Nice... look slick... got some issues trying to add a item... it didn't want that i type in the amount i also like https://github.com/spiral-project/ihatemoney which is opensource and goes with a mobile app.
what exactly did you try to type in for the amount? or what was the error?
No errors ...didnt type anything funky... Numbers ....

#74It is a usefull functionality, as I have used splid several times.
My two recommendations: Don’t forget the more seniors in terms uf usability. I think the flow should focus on adding expenses quickly on the first screen as you want to do this on the fly.
Secondly: as you are from Switzerland I proposed exactly that idea while I was working for post to postfinance to get 50k startcapital, but did not get it. I guess if you come with this UI and say youll build a interface to their payment system (twint 2Dbarcode) you might get some funding. Cheers

#75I know it's been mentioned but Splitwise is an AMAZING app/webapp. I've used it with friends on vacation (uber rides, hotel/airbnb, dinners, etc), I've used it with roommates (electric bill, rent, etc), and now I use it with my boyfriend (rent, groceries, utilities, furniture, tools, etc). I find it really helps me as I HATE talking about money and asking for it (even when I'm owed it). This way I never feel like I'm…
I've used splitwise a few times for large group activities and really struggled with the UX every time.
The most frequent problem happens when people are slow to add their expenses. It's too easy to pay up before everything has been added, which means having to remember to log back in when that last straggler finally adds their items
The UI and integration with Venmo feel pretty clunky too
