Introducing Precise Expense Splitting: More Flexibility Than Ever

We're excited to announce a significant enhancement to LiteSplit's expense splitting capabilities. Our new split details feature brings unprecedented flexibility to how you can split expenses, making it easier than ever to handle complex sharing scenarios.

What's New?

The new split details system introduces three powerful ways to split expenses:

• Equal Splits: The classic way to split expenses evenly among all participants
• Amount-based Splits: Specify exact amounts for each person
• Percentage-based Splits: Divide expenses by percentages, perfect for income-based sharing

Real-world Examples

Let's see how this makes a difference in everyday scenarios:

• Roommates sharing rent based on room sizes (percentage-based)
• Group dinners where some people order more expensive items (amount-based)
• Regular expenses like utilities split equally (equal splits)

Enhanced Balance Calculations

With the new split details system, your balance calculations are now more accurate than ever. The balance sheet and settlement suggestions take into account the exact amounts each person owes, ensuring fair and precise settlements.

Visual Improvements

We've also enhanced the expense split chart to show the actual proportions of how expenses are split. This gives you a clear visual representation of how costs are distributed among group members.

Backward Compatibility

Don't worry about your existing expenses! The system automatically handles both new and legacy expenses. While new expenses will use the enhanced split details, your existing expenses will continue to work perfectly with equal splits.

Getting Started

To use the new split details feature:

• Create a new expense as usual
• Select your preferred split type (equal, amounts, or percentage)
• Enter the specific amounts or percentages for each person
• Save and let LiteSplit handle the rest!

The new split details feature is available now in version 1.1.5. Try it out and let us know what you think!
