Emma Groups 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦

• The ability to send a payment request to a member from within the group member list. I don’t want to have to send those from another tab separately but can’t see any other way right now

Yes, we are building this!

@lobbers

1. An automatic allocation of that payment request to the group’s transactions, so it’s automatically updated when it comes in that it’s paid.

Same for this.

[Kamiko]

I second all of the above!

Hi, I’ve been playing with groups and one important functionality I’m missing is other than equal split, e.g. one person paying 1/3 of the balance, the other 2/3. Found it really useful in Splitwise before.

It would also be good to be able to add transactions to a group before others join in, as it may take a while.

I also second the earlier suggestions for enabling selection of transactions directly from the transactions tab, and selecting multiple transactions at once. That last functionality would make all the difference, and would be a high improvement on Splitwise

We are going to add this, thanks for the suggestion.

We are adding a shortcut inside each transaction in the next week or so.

As of now, we are also working on Reminders for people who owe you money and a simple pay button to settle with everyone in the group.

Hi, when Emma groups will be available exactly? Can’t wait to use this. I’ve just started using Emma and i love it. Im also using splitwise at the moment to manage expenses with my partner on your credit card.

[Connor]

Hey @Nazemma,

Emma Groups is available in the UK.

I think we spoke on live chat and you are wanting to know if this would be brought to the US or Canada, right?

[Ideal]

Yes @Connor & @edoardomoreni I think the Emma Pro users in US/Canada would love to hear when this specific feature is coming to us. You have a big chunk of users who are going to be looking for an alternative app with this feature coming from YSplit/Fuse who are limited with options due to their eventual shutdown in the next few weeks.

Is there a way to be placed on a beta list to try this out?

[edoardomoreni]

Hey @Ideal,

thanks for suggesting!

We can defo make it available for US/CA users.

Watch out in the next app update.

[Ideal]

@edoardomoreni thank you for listening to your users! Is there an ETA for the next app update push? Just curious to know.

[edoardomoreni]

I have just asked an engineer to make this available. It’s not going to take much, we are going to render a Groups tab between the two currently available for US/CA users.

[edoardomoreni]

Just a quick update on this.

We have implemented this change and its part of the main code.

It will be in your hands and some point next week.

[edoardomoreni]

This should be out and available.

[jamesb]

Was this added? I’m probably being dumb but can’t see how to change the split, if for example there’s a group with 2 people and I want to pay 2/3, or I know the exact amount I want to pay.

[jamesb]

@edoardomoreni where can I choose that I want to split it 2/3 and 1/3, or that I want to pay a specific amount? I can’t see it. Thanks

[edoardomoreni]

We have not added this feature yet. We have a very big ticket with some major improvements for groups that I am eager to get done very soon.

We have spent the last few months focusing on some critical tasks that might not have been that visible.

[jamesb]

Okay thank you! We both started using Splitwise instead but obviously would be good to replace with Emma.
