  @Bsoyka, can you un-proseline the history section? Sohom (talk) 13:40, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

  Once the above is done, this should be good to go. Sohom (talk) 13:45, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

this is the opposite of good to go.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

• Cited: - that's not what the source says: To ensure people pay their fair amount, try a bill-splitting calculator like the free, popular Splitwise. Everyone enters what they paid for, such as one person covering dinner and another covering pre-meal drinks. Then the app shows what people owe each other. In my testing, I found that it serves the most needs.
• Interesting: - boring
• Other problems: - promotional hook, and not mentioned in article

QPQ: Done.

Placing a maybe symbol here. The nomination should not be outright rejected since only the hook is contested. Flibirigit (talk) 14:00, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

I agree, we should allow the nominator to respond. Also, to clarify my previous statement, I had not fully evaluated everything and thus hadn't used any official symbols (which would imply a full review). I agree that the hook needs to be workshopped a fair bit to make it less promotional, I do think however, that the hook is cited given that the article in general talks about Splitwise in the context of handling money related conversations. -- Sohom (talk) 19:54, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Looking at the article, the article tone may be a more significant issue than the hook. The "Functionality" section vaguely reads like an advertisement, which is probably not the intention but it could still benefit from a rewrite. The "History" section might not meet WP:Proseline and so probably needs revision. The issues aren't insurmountable, but they do need to be addressed for the nomination to pass.

@Bsoyka: Please address the above.--Launchballer 07:44, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

I will be closing this if this isn't addressed in the next 24 hours @Bsoyka:.--Launchballer 12:15, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Note that many things which used to be free now require monthly subscription for pro versionion

Sometime around 2023 they switched to a $5 a month subscription model or something like that for access to many features. Get some sources, flesh this out, and note negative effects on app ratings. ★NealMcB★ (talk) 07:51, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
