WeeShare offers many different applications. The main functions of WeeShare are the booking system, the output and cost system, the position system and a communication system. This makes it possible to share objects as desired. Examples are sharing cars, boats, planes, everyday objects, renting objects for a fee or simply splitting of expenses in a group.
The possibilities with our app are almost unlimited. Here you can find an overview and explanation of all systems you can use at WeeShare to customize the sharing to your taste.
Create an item
To get started right away, you can create your item under «What I share» with the «+» icon. We have simplified the creation and reduced it to rough applications. You can choose to only share expenses in groups, share a car, boat or other objects privately with friends, share everyday objects with your immediate surroundings or rent objects for a fee. All detail settings can be changed at any time after creation.
The settings
Once the item is created you can click on the cogwheel in the item view and find all settings there. As creator of the object you are automatically administrator and only they are allowed to see and change the settings. With «Locked» you can temporarily deactivate the object so that no more bookings, expenses, routes and position changes can be recorded. With «Reset» you can archive existing bookings, expenses and/or routes. All these entries are still visible, but are no longer used for clearing new expenditures.
Booking settings
Activate the booking system so that the sharing group can book the object. Also choose whether you allow the bookings to be repeated weekly or daily. «Blocking periods» allow you to enter periods in which the object cannot be booked. You can find an overview of how to use the booking system here: Bookings and Reservations
Position and distance settings
This system allows you to exchange position and route information. Select whether only you or everyone can change the position of the object and whether you want routes to be recorded for this object. Capturing routes allows you to distribute expenses among users based on distances. For display purposes, you can change the unit of distance between miles and kilometers. You can find an overview of how to use the position and route system here: The position system
Expense and cost settings
Here you find all settings like expenses and costs are displayed and which possibilities are available for the users. Choose a currency for display purposes and it enables you to record foreign currencies. You can find an overview of the possibilities offered by the expense and cost system here: Split expenses
Costs (Prices)
Costs allow you to charge corresponding amounts for the object when users enter a booking or a route. You can choose one or more persons to whom these costs will be credited. If you choose more than one, the revenues will be divided accordingly.
Common expenses
In addition to automatically charged costs, you can also manually enter expenses and distribute them to other users. Expenditure is normally divided by the number of people involved in the expenditure. You can also allow expenses to be distributed according to booking times and distances. In this case, the expenditures are distributed as a percentage of the respective user values. A typical application are fuel bills which are charged after use.
Visibilty settings
Here you control to what extent your object is visible to other users. «Private» means that the object can only be shared by you upon personal invitation. The object is not visible to anyone else. With the slider you can increase the visibility to make it visible for your neighborhood for example. The objects then appear in the «Item Search» for users who are in the selected environment. Activate «Ad» if you want your object to be recommended to other WeeShare users.

Hello, great app. I hope you can add some rules for sharing, for example, for a shared weekend house, not allowing a person that already booked a weekend to book a second one until the first weekend date has gone by. Thanks.
By now, we do not want to implement complicated features like this since we keep the app as simple as possible. However, we do implement such features upon business requests as user defined functionality which will be only visible to specified accounts. But we are confident WeeShare provides all tools to communicate and if necessary, delete any entries from users that abuse any rule you communicated to them.
