1. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

   Good UI, bad calculations. I did a sanity check with the initial expenses we had in our group, they were not correct! Because we only had a few expenses I did it manually. I added two expenses and split it between our group members, someone else did the same with 2 other expenses. This one particular person should have a split $25 + $52 =$77 but the app was showing the person owing me around $96.32. I think the app was adding expenses owed to the other person and saying they owed that money to me. Completely wrong! Don’t waste time on this, or regret it later when adding 20+ transactions and having to do a manual check at the end for your entire group

2. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Expenses not tracking accurately between people. App includes the cost between people when it specifically shouldn’t and that person isn’t checked to be in the split. Very inaccurate for tracking who paid for what and who owes who. I’m unable trust this app at all. Cannot recommend

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Missing most important feature. How does this app average 4.9? While it shows the balance of who owes what, it doesn’t show any detail. It’s impossible to ask for repayment from someone without being able to answer “What for?”

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   what happened ?. The calculations are just very basically wrong. Updated the app to latest … created new tricount, nothing worked. You might want to look at it seriously. In its current state the app doesn’t work whereas it used to be reliable. fix it quickly please.

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Terrible. Omg, this calculated the expenses for my group SUPER wrong. We even did a test with a new group to see if it worked….nope. Also super wrong. I highly suggest you don’t waste your time with this

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Changed feature, completely destroyed the actual use for the app. You used to be able to see how much you owed each person individually. Now you cannot. Would’ve been great to know this before I went on a trip. Now we have to go through each purchase and add the totals ourselves.

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Something went wrong. My tricount have already not function properly for over a week. It state that there’s something went wrong at bunq’s side.

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   The app does not do the one thing it needed to do, split costs between more people.. So from the first try, it calculates all wrong. I entered 8 people going on a trip with 2 cars. Person “A” pays for the insurances for all 8 people and person “B” pays for the gasoline but only for selected 4 people. The person “C” needs to only pay the person “A” for the insurance…..but the app calculates that the person “C” needs to pay the person “A” for the gasoline even if he is not added to the group, and on the other hand shows that the person “C” only needs to pay for insurance some small amount that is not realistic to the person “A” So already by adding first 2 expenses, the app totally miscalculates everything. Imagine if you rely only on this app to distribute costs, and you do not control al of it at the end….it will totally miss calculate everything and all participants will get random and uncorrect values.

9. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

   Terrible. Do not use this app! I was asked to update the app in order to keep using it in the middle of my trip and it completely erased all of the data from a weeklong trip right in the middle of it. There was absolutely no easy way to contact customer service and I had to Google what the parent company was in order to find a way to contact someone. The only way to contact them was via email and it was a horrible experience. They say they will get back to you in 10 hours and at first no one got back to me for about 34 hours. Now again remember this is in the middle of our trip. Finally I'm contacted by a trainee who goes back-and-forth with me over a span of TWO MORE WEEKS repeatedly telling me to do things like log out and log back in or delete the app and re-download it, while reassuring me that their team is working hard get my data back. I seriously doubt that they ever even looked at this issue, as after about a week had a they asked me what my login info was associated with my account. I asked them how they were able to be looking into my issue all this time without ever knowing which account was mine, no answer. I asked multiple times to be connected to a manager but was only ever contacted by a trainee. In the end they did not restore my trip and we lost all of our information. Save yourself a headache choose a different platform. The response to this review is ridiculous. No one from the Tricount team tried to help me. I contacted them over and over and over again for weeks and all I ever got was a response from a trainee be patient. Repeatedly I asked for someone from management to contact me and no one ever did. Don't use this app. The response to this bad review is faster than anyone ever responded to my customer service inquiries. I guess they send the same format reply to any bad review, same as they kept sending the same dumb reply to my support requests without answering or addressing a single issue.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Please bring back sorting. The sorting feature was the best feature on this app. Please bring it back.

11. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

    Very inaccurate app.. This app just doesn’t work at all and very confusing.

12. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Terrible!. This app is fantastic at tracking expenses for a group. It was perfect at tracking who paid for each expense and who was involved. However, the balances and reimbursements were WAY off. We each went back over each and every entry to find the problem but could not discover the error.

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Splitwise is better.. I hate this app, beginning middle and end. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Wrong addictions & individual balance amounts. I just completed a trip with a friend. Because the spending is only between two parties, it was easy to do a quick manual check. To my surprise, the app counted wrongly. It makes me lost confidence to use the App again!

15. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Nuked by ads. The ads are super intrusive now. They pedal their subscription service at every corner, even going as far as to inconvenience you every time you try to add a charge or payment. The UX was excusable in the past because the functionality was great but it’s over. Ruined by greed.

16. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

    Hassle. The app did not work for three people. It did not balance and was inaccurate with balances owed. Don’t use!

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Critically making calculation errors. This app has one job, to correctly calculate money owed by individuals in large or small groups of people. However I’ve consistently found mistakes in these calculations , where the app glitches and included members that should be excluded (despite all settings being correct). The app isn’t properly maintained, too many glitches , not worth the risk. AVOID

18. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Annoying. This is absolutely the worst thing ever. It doesn’t divide bills in a logical way and makes it difficult to figure out what you actually owe. I hate this app and I’m pretty sure I ended up paying double for things because of it.

19. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Just download Splitwise. Do yourself a favor and use absolutely anything else. In a group of 12 everyone’s account listed different prices. A worthless interface

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Drains battery. This app is full of ads and is always working in the background. It drains your battery

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Ad aggressively pops up on page and I cannot accept my friend’s invitation. Title says it all

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Didn’t work!!!!!. The app stops refreshing after entering about 10 entries. Also, it only shows A owes B and C owes B. It never showed how much B owes C. I don’t understand why this can be a problem. A simple excel can do this.

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    not impressed. Only app to pay with is paypal How do I add venmo

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not correct. Used this app in Germany for a group of 6 people, plugged in all the expenses when I went to Balances none of the totals owed were correct.

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Horrible!. Will not let me join my group

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Installed because I had no choice. It seems like tricount does not accept online login any more and force you to download the app anyway. I don’t find it user friendly and it’s a long setup process for an app I will delete in 5 minutes

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Don't update. This used to be a simple easy to use app. Now you have to input several categories of data to get to the division part. There is no short form shortcut. We just did it old school (in our heads). Time to roll back this update. Who wants to input so much data to split a bill!

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Don't download the update. Used to be a great app till they updated. Now when a friend shares a link to a tricount it takes you to the App Store instead of to tricount. No way to share anymore. Also they streamlined the app to make it look all Web 2.0, instead of the simple, lightweight interface we all know and love. The new app takes up 90 mb on my phone. Why do we need 90 mb of bloat when we could have a better product at 9mb?

29. ★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow

    Update Removed Functionality. I’ve used this app for years and loved it. Until recently, you could tap on a participant and see their expenses. That made it easy for everybody to verify their expenses. Going through each expense individually is a terrible substitute. At this point, the app is basically unusable for large groups. Also, it would be nice if expenses had an easy way to unselect all participants. We had 27 people in our group. When an expense is entered for two people, 25 people have to be deselected instead of selecting two.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    missing key features. you have to delete things manually and it notifies the other person even when you delete it. One by one even when they send a lump sum, and it’s missing like a swipe to delete functionality. Very hard to see the balance each person owes
