Split
OVERVIEW
Split is an iOS & Android app that solves the problem of splitting the cost of dinner and other purchases between friends. Jay and Jorge came to us with a simple design and we worked with them to flesh out the design, build the app, and push it out to the app stores.
DISCOVERY
With split, the question was, “How do you make it simple for a large group of people to pay for something without all the traditional hassle?” You can see from the design that we decided that the best way to accomplish that was with fisher-price simple styling.

STORY
Jay and Jorge were freshmen in college when they decided they wanted to build the app “Split” to solve a problem they experienced with their friends. Even though platforms like Venmo exist, it can still be a lot of work to split the dinner tab between you and your friends on a night out.
Split solves this problem by giving users a card with a balance on it for the cost of the meal, then splits the bill evenly with friends after, making it so you don’t have to sort everything out at the restaurant.
They’ve since launched, and have seen success with people using it for everything from large nights out with friends to shopping at Best Buy.
