Earlier this week, one of my newest iPhone applications, TipCalc (Tip Calculator) was approved and placed on the iTunes App Store for $0.99. Here’s a little about the application and what it does.
- “Wait, you want to leave how much of a tip?”
- “How much would that bill be if we gave a 15% tip?”
- “But the service wasn’t that good!”
So, you’re at a restaurant, arguing with your colleague over splitting the bill. Normally, you would have to figure out the math on a napkin, or pull out that geeky calculator. That is, until now.
TipCalc lets you quickly and almost instantly calculate a tip based on the quality of service using a 4-star system (1-star: 5% tip; 2-stars: 10% tip; 3-stars: 15% tip; 4-stars: 20% tip). Then, if you wish to split the bill with someone else (or among several people), then type in the amount of people to be split with and click “Calculate Tip.”
An alert dialog will display all the pertinent information regarding your bill, including taxes, tip, and split amount.
You can download this application from the iTunes App Store starting today. A future update will let you input custom tip percentages and automatically calculate taxes based on a percentage inputted by the user.
