The flow for adding an expense where 1 person is owed the full amount is confusing/error-prone.
To reproduce:
- Add expense. Description = Test, Amount = $1
- Hit "split equally (2)" to go to the split option.
At this screen, it's unclear if the amounts mean you owe $ vs you are owed $. I mistakenly assumed you are owed $ (fwiw, my friend did the same thing last week when she tried to the same thing).
If you click "You", the screen shows
"paid for You" is ambiguous here. If you hit "Save", the transaction silently fails and never shows up.
Describe the solution you'd like
Clearer language to show the direction where money is owed. fwiw, Splitwise is pretty unambiguous and provides "50:50" or "full amount" as defaults, which is sensible
Describe alternatives you've considered
