CUSTOMER REVIEWS
People are going bananas.
“Takes the stress out of who pays for what — just put it on the app and sort later.”
“Just what my friends and I needed for our annual snowboard trips and then again while renting a house for the summer.”
“It's usually hard enough sorting out split expenses… this makes it a doddle. Great.”
A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER
I have been making Banana Split for more than ten years, from Grenoble. A question, an idea, a bug: write to me, I answer myself, usually the same day.
