Welcome to SlashWise! SlashWise is a cloud-based Android app that makes your life easier by keeping track of expenses between you and a particular group you're part of. Our app allows you settle debts that you owe either through cash (that is by directly handing cash to your groupmate) or via PayPal (granted if the other person you owe debt to has a PayPal account). In addition, all expenses on our app can be accompanied by an image that serves as evidence that the expense recorded is legitmate. Please have a look at our app!
