App isn't syncing

Date shows wrong day

If expenses save with the wrong date (usually one day off), this was a known timezone issue that has been fixed. Make sure you're on the latest app version. Update from the App Store or Google Play.

Expense splits reset to all members

When creating an expense in a group on mobile, it defaults to including all members. If you removed some members but they reappear after saving, ensure you're on the latest version. This bug has been addressed.

Camera not working for receipts
