CheckPlease - Tip Calculator App Reviews

And no, its not operator error this time.

There is actually nothing in the app to split the bill fairly among people. I thought I could itemize Person1, Person2, etc. orders and tell them what they owed. Nope. And, even if you decide to pay equally, you must do the division of the totsl amount for splitting on your own. You could just as easily (and better) replicate what this app does by opening the Ipod calculator, entering the subtotal before taxes and multiply that by the your tip amount (1.18 for 18%, for instance) to get the tip added to total and divide by the number of persons. Dumb app for the dumb.

Good buy for the price of a dollar. Bought to avoid the ads in the free version.

I upgraded to get rid of the ads and to support a good developer. Unfortunately, there is I bug in the paid version not in the free version. If you attempt to enter the subtotal rather than the total, your tax rate will will revert to zero, not to your default tax rate. This app is no longer supported by the developer. Contrary to claims in the description, he does NOT respond to support requests through his support email or bugs reported on his own forum.

Did not work at the restaurant but work outside of it. How you figure? It happen only once so I guess it may okay. Need to understand the calculation before you understand what you are paying.

Please update it! Its been a long time since an update. It hasnt even been update for the iPhone 5 screen size. Please update for screen size and iOS 7.

After years of using a great but abandoned app, I can only watch it go south. Here comes the developer willing to bring it into a new era, for the new operating system. The result... It now looks like every other Tip app, ending its distinctive and amazing design that help it earn a place in the Favorite App List of many of us. I will try to recuperate the old but great version, until you fix it cosmetically.

The new version is not an improvement in any way. The developers have transitioned to a more "flat" environment, following the styling of Apples recent iOS, but in doing so, they have removed all of the character and depth of the original app. It now looks like something a low-level developer might come up with. The huge unused blue space at the bottom adds to the ridiculousness of the design. Its still functional, of course, but no longer unique, or special.

First of all, I wont write two identical reviews under different names, cuz nobody does that, right? Anyway, Ive used this app for years because its one of the few that let you back out tax before calculating the tip. More important, you need only enter the total. This is great because the check isnt always broken out, but the total is always there. The only drawback is you have only one spot to record a sales tax. This is awkward if you travel a lot. But now that Catamount has finally been picked up by a new developer (very sad story there, BTW), Im hopeful.
