This would be super useful to us if we could set percentages of the total amount everyone is due.

We share an office with a couple other companies, but the lease is at our company's name, and we always pay for everything and people pay us back.

Since some companies are three people, and some folks here are freelancers they aren't all due the same amount; i.e. there is 10 of us, but my company pays for 2/10 because there's two of us using the office.

Maybe adding this feature would open up your service to more users with our problem users. (We are using a shared Google spreadsheet.)

Jup, but not only percentages but also absolute values.

Was just with my room mate at IKEA. I used my card to pay. Some stuff is for the whole appartment, some stuff only for me, some stuff only for him.

Doesn't the app already do that (not the percentages, but the "some for me, some for only him" thing)? The last option of each expense is to pick who should pay for it.
With the current version you can add each item as a separate payment and set the "who should pay" -field to "only". That'll solve the IKEA-case.
I've actually been asked for this exact feature once before. My response was "you are the only one who would need that", but it seems I was wrong..
