Quickly capture expense amounts by scanning receipts with your camera:
Note: Receipt scanning requires camera permission. Works best with clear, well-lit receipts. The scanner detects currency amounts in multiple formats (€, $, £, ¥, etc.).
DivvyTrip can automatically suggest expense details based on your location:
Enable in Settings: Go to Settings → Preferences → Toggle "Use Location". You'll also need to grant location permission when prompted.
Privacy: Location data is only used temporarily to detect nearby places and is never stored or transmitted. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Add expenses hands-free using Siri voice commands:
Supported languages: Works in any language iOS supports. The app automatically detects keywords in your language (e.g., "gasolina" → Transportation in Spanish).
Tip: Open a trip before using Siri to ensure the expense is added to the right trip. You can also find DivvyTrip shortcuts in the Shortcuts app.
Create your own expense categories tailored to your trip:
Examples: Create categories like "Souvenirs", "Tips", "Boat Rentals", "Spa Day", or "Street Food" to organize expenses exactly how you want.
Note: Custom categories you create are visible to all participants when adding expenses to trips you own. The built-in categories (Food, Transportation, etc.) are always available.

DivvyTrip requires an account for several important reasons:
Your email is only used for authentication and linking you to trips. We take your privacy seriously and never share your information with third parties.
DivvyTrip offers multiple secure sign-in options:
When using Sign in with Apple, you can choose to "Share My Email" or "Hide My Email":
Tip: If you use Hide My Email, share your private relay address with friends who want to add you to trips. You can find it in Settings → Your Name → iCloud → Hide My Email.
Yes! You can update your display name at any time:
Your display name is how you appear to other users in trips. Changes are instantly reflected across all your trips. This is especially useful if you signed in with Apple and want to use a different name than what Apple provides.
Tap the "+" button on the home screen, enter your trip name, destination, dates, and select your currency. That's it! When you create a trip, you're automatically added as the first participant and marked as the trip owner.
On your trips list, you'll see badges indicating trip ownership:
No, only the trip creator can delete a trip. This security feature prevents accidental deletion by other participants. If you see the "⭐ You" badge on a trip, you can swipe left to delete it (with confirmation). When a trip owner deletes a trip, it's removed for all participants.
Open your trip, go to the Friends tab, tap the "+" button, and enter their email address and name. You can then send them an invitation. In the Friends tab, you'll see badges showing who's registered ("You" for yourself, "App User" for others) and who hasn't joined yet ("Not yet registered").
If you see "No contacts with email addresses" when trying to add from your contacts, you may need to grant Full Access to your contacts:
Note: "Limited Access" (where you select specific contacts) may not expose email addresses to the app, even if those contacts have emails. Choose "Full Access" to see all contacts with email addresses. DivvyTrip only reads names and email addresses from your contacts and never modifies or shares your contact information.
Note: Email verification is only required when signing up with email and password. If you sign in with Apple or Google, verification is handled automatically by those services.
For email/password accounts, verification ensures that you own the email address you signed up with. This prevents others from claiming trips associated with your email and protects your privacy. After signing up, check your inbox for a verification link. Click it, then return to the app and tap "I've Verified My Email" to gain full access.
Note: This only applies to email/password accounts. Apple and Google sign-ins don't require email verification.
Check your spam/junk folder. If you still don't see it, tap "Resend Verification Email" on the verification screen. The email comes from support@divvytrip.com. You can also sign out and sign in again to trigger a new verification check.
If you sign up with email and password, you must verify your email to use the app. This security measure prevents users from impersonating others and ensures that only you can access trips associated with your email address. If you sign in with Apple or Google, you can use the app immediately—no email verification needed.
When you add an expense in a different currency than your trip's currency, DivvyTrip automatically converts it using real-time exchange rates. The original amount and conversion rate are saved for reference.
Yes! DivvyTrip has full offline support.
You can:
When you're offline, you'll see an orange banner at the top of the screen. All changes are saved locally and will sync when you're back online. Currency exchange rates are cached for 24 hours so you can still add expenses in different currencies.
Your expense is saved locally on your device and will automatically sync to all trip participants when you reconnect to the internet. You'll see a brief "Syncing..." message when the connection is restored. The app uses Firebase's offline persistence, so your data is safe even if you close the app while offline.
When adding an expense, select who should split the cost. By default, expenses are split equally among selected participants.
Custom Splits: For situations where costs aren't equal (like when one person orders a salad while others order steaks), toggle "Custom Split" to enter individual amounts for each person. Use the magic wand (✨) button next to any amount to automatically distribute the remaining balance equally among the other participants. The app validates that amounts add up to the total before allowing you to save.
The Settle tab shows smart settlement suggestions that minimize the number of transactions needed. It tells you exactly who owes whom and how much.
Make sure they check their spam folder. If using the email invitation feature, ensure they have Mail configured on their device. They can also sign up directly with the email address you invited.
In the Expenses tab, tap on an expense to edit it, or swipe left to delete it.
Yes! When adding an expense in a different currency, you can toggle "Use custom exchange rate" and enter your own rate.
In the Settle tab, tap "Mark as Paid" on any settlement once the payment has been completed.
Yes! You have three export options:
Note: The "Export All My Trips" feature only includes trips that you created, not trips where you're just a participant. Each trip is exported as a separate CSV file inside the ZIP archive.
Yes! DivvyTrip can import trip data from PayBack CSV exports. On the Trips screen, tap the "Import" button and select your CSV file. The app will automatically:
Important Limitation: PayBack allowed multiple currencies for expenses within a single trip. DivvyTrip currently imports all expenses using the currency detected from the first expense. After importing, please review your expenses and manually correct any that were originally in a different currency.
The CSV should have columns in this order:
The currency is automatically detected from the first expense's amount field. Use $0.00 (or €0.00, etc.) to indicate a participant wasn't included in that expense. Lines at the end of the file containing only conversion rates will be automatically ignored.
Yes. Only trip participants can see trip expenses. We never share or sell your data. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Yes! You can customize the sort order for trips and expenses throughout the app:
This preference applies to both your trips list and all expense lists. Changes take effect immediately throughout the app. Your preference is saved on your device.
You can permanently delete your account at any time. Go to Settings → Scroll to the bottom → Tap "Delete Account". This will permanently delete all your personal data, trips you created, expenses, and settlements. This action cannot be undone.
Before deleting: Export your trip data to keep a record. Open each trip → Tap the menu (•••) → "Export as CSV" to save your expense history.
When you delete your account, all data associated with you is immediately and permanently removed, including: your user profile, all trips you created (and their expenses/settlements), and your authentication credentials. If you created trips with other participants, those trips will be deleted for everyone. This action is immediate and cannot be reversed.
