Signing in
You put your email in, a number arrives, you type the number. That is the whole note.
Pull up a chair.
The people who live in the TripSplit apps explain what those apps actually do — the parts that are easy to miss, and the reasons behind the ones that look odd.

Before you goTripSplit Buddy
Your travel day doesn't need a dinner budget
Your daily figure spreads what's left across the days you have left. That works fine until one of those days is fourteen hours on two planes.

Almost everything says estimated
It isn't a warning and nothing has gone wrong. It means the dollar figure came from a rate rather than a receipt — and there's one box that settles it.

One bill, two currencies
One of you tapped a card and one of you put euro notes on the table. You can enter both, each in the money it was actually paid in.

Three things in here say private
An expense, an itinerary leg and a plan can each be locked down, and the three have nothing to do with each other. One is your money, one is your whereabouts, one is whether anybody can find it.

Type the whole price, not what's left
When a plan actually happens, the app asks what it came to. It wants the whole cost, deposit included — then it works out the rest itself.

What are we doing Wednesday?
There's a whole tab that answers it, laid out as your days. It shows no money at all, on purpose — tap an item if you want to know what that one costs.

Yes, that's me. Yes, you can press it.
There are two things on the bar at the bottom and the rest of the app behind the suitcase in the middle. Press the suitcase.
Settling upTripSplit Buddy
If I look pleased, you're square
There's a picture of me at the top of the Settle screen. It changes depending on whether anybody still owes anybody. That's the whole feature.
