Balances look wrong

Updated 23 Jul 2026

Check the expenses tab first

Balances are never stored separately — they're the sum of expenses and recorded payments. Scan the expenses tab for a duplicate, a wrong payer, or someone included who shouldn't be.

Edit, don't re-add

Open the suspect expense and tap Edit expense to fix the amount, payer, or shares. Deleting and re-adding works too, but editing keeps the history tidy.

Check settlement history

A payment recorded twice (or not at all) shifts balances. The settlement history shows every recorded payment with its date and method.
