How do I add an expense?

Open the group and tap Add expense. Type the amount and what it was for, choose who paid and how to split it, then tap Add, the checkmark at the top. It is saved on your phone at once, even with no connection, and reaches everyone in the group when you are back online.

You can also start one without opening a group: tap the pencil button at the top of Groups, or touch and hold the Evensies icon on your Home Screen and choose Add expense. It opens in the group you last saved an expense in on this phone, which you can change at the top of the form; when Evensies can't tell, it asks Who is it with? or Which group is it for? first.

The amount can be a sum: type something like 42.80 + 18 and Evensies works it out, with + − × ÷ and brackets on a bar above the keypad. The currency beside the amount starts as the group's; tap it to choose another for this expense.

As you type what it was for, Evensies offers up to three expenses you added before with a word that starts with what you typed, from this group or your others. Tap one to fill in its category, and who paid and how it was split where those still fit this group. The amount is left for you to type.

• Paid by: One person, you unless you pick someone else, or Several, with what each paid.
• Split: equally, or as the group's default split says when it has one, or another way; see Splitting an expense.
• Category: General unless you choose another, such as Food, Groceries or Rent.
• Date: today unless you change it.
• Repeats: Never, Weekly, Every 2 weeks, Monthly or Yearly; see Repeating expenses.
• Receipt: a photo, a screenshot or a PDF; see Receipts.
• Notes: anything the group should know.

To add the same expense again, open it and tap Duplicate expense; Duplicating an expense says what the copy keeps. For an expense with one friend outside any group, see Just between you and a friend.

An archived group takes no new expenses. Unarchive it from its settings first.
