You go on a snowboarding trip with your mates and everybody pays for different things during the trip. You come home with a pile of receipts and you’re trying to work out how everyone can settle up (and stay friends). What do you do? Get PAYBACK for the iPhone, the ultimate shared expense calculator. Just enter the list of expenses and who they’re shared between and PAYBACK automatically calculates how you can settle your debts. What’s more, PAYBACK’s unique algorithm automatically minimizes the number of transactions needed to settle your debts.
IF YOU HAVE FRIENDS AND YOU GO ON TRIPS, AND YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR FRIENDS, THEN YOU NEED PAYBACK!

Pros and cons of PayBack app for iPhone and iPad
PayBack app good for
Ive been using it for some time (2 years?) and it definitedly is THE ultimate tool to keep track of the expenses between different people.
Simple, clean, efficient, productive and free!
One of my must haves!
For those traveling all the time with friends, this is definitely a usefull app. The app is also really easy to use.
Cant think of anything, the app doesnt think of. Select who shares each expense, who paid, etc. Could have used that on my last holiday trip with friends. Just need to remember to install it before the next one as the app has absolutely no use, if youre not on vacation with friends.
This free app offers the features and the simplicity I would ask for. Unfortunately, different currencies are not accounted for in the summation - thats a bug! Also, the keypad lacks a decimal point. And it is very tedious to have to scroll through the whole list of currencies each time you make a new entry. It should be easy to iron these things out.
very good App. except that the currency conversion is not working.
Awesome big deal about the contact just add the 1st name fast and easy
Some bad moments
I can only add people if they are a contact? I am NOT adding a new contact every time I use this. Make it so you can just put in a name.
This program does not let you enter your friends in manually. They must be in your contact list. Makes the app totally worthless for itouch users!
User interface is awful, way to many taps to get hardly anything back from the device.
This review is for the developer... you have a good idea, but the interactions you put the user through are painful.
Never leave the user with a blank screen... the first screen should be a new trip! (shouldnt have to hit edit or add)
I like that your using the address book... (again shouldnt have to hit edit or add) also seems strange that I would have to add myself to get paid also. Your title shouldnt be new trip (it should be greyed out like with description)
( I dont want to delete this everytime I have a new trip)
On to expenses... once again the screen is blank I have to hit edit... Im not editing anything, Im adding something, but how? (you have to hit edit) and then I have to click add? Yikes this is a horrible experience.
Description... OK you enter food, enter an amount...friend paying for expense its me! how do I get my name into this? I cant choose me!
I like the checkmark who is sharing the expense.
Once your done... there is no overview of all this you have to dig into each trip to find out who what where and how.
I suggest that you think this one through again. its a good idea but poor execution.
Then here is the big one... Once the user has entered in all this information this application doesnt help anyone get paid, doesnt help anyone get notified, or tell the user to contact anyone or call or email anyone... You need follow through!
The concept is good. But the User interface design is pretty bad. Where is the delete button for people in lists or for the whole list itself??! People outside of the contact list cannot be added.
If these are improved, it would be a good app.
Useless to iTouch users because of the lack of manually adding people.
Great idea but the totals were incorrect when it came time pay eachother.
