It would be great if the app could tell who needs to refund who and how much. Also, share the resume, as a simple text, to send it through other apps (SMS, instant message, mail, etc.)

There is no one correct way to balance the accounts, so the app can't suggest more than it does now. It doesn't matter, too: All people with red numbers throw the missing money into a pot, people with green numbers take what they are owed. Usually one person takes care of it, collects money from some people and gives it to others. After n-1 transactions (for n people) everyone is even.

An SMS or email feature would be nice. Right now the best way I found is to export a CVS, open it in the Google spreadsheet app, share it and send the link to everybody else. That way the others can review everything and add missing expenses online.
