A simple app for dividing expenses and making accounts between friends
A trip with our colleagues. A shared apartment. A group excursion. A dinner with friends. A joint gift. All these things sound very appealing, but when it comes to paying, that when the problems start. However, with this fantastic tool we can keep track of the expenses of a group of people and do the math in a matter of seconds.
Ideal for holidays, shared flats, couples' accounts, organizing parties or meetings between several people, keeping a budget, etc.
Intuitive and simple interface
Doing the math among several people can be a pain. Tricount makes that task much easier. After downloading the APK file, all we have to do is follow these steps:
- Create a group or join an existing group.
- In the group we can add a title, description, the currency and the category (trip, project, couple, event...).
- We add participants manually or directly from our contact book.
- We add expenses or income by clicking on the icon with the plus (+) symbol. Here we can put a label, amount and currency exchange, as well as photos, categories and the person who made the transaction.
- We indicate whom the expense or payment was for, an option that is very useful if we want to divide the expenses in an unequal way.
- Once we have all the movements, we go to the balance tab. At a glance we can see in a colored graph the people who have paid (in green) and those who owe money (in red).
It makes the management and division of group accounts easier so you can enjoy your activities.
One thing that is very cool about this app is that it minimizes transactions so that we can settle the accounts with the least possible number of transfers. Also, once the money is paid, we can mark it in the app, and even invite someone else to pay what they owe.
Its interface is simple, making it very easy to use. Also, anyone in the group can make changes and it is not even necessary that all members have the application installed. And it works without an internet connection and is multiplatform. There is nothing to it.

- Minimum operating system requirements: Android 5.0.
