From useful to spyware

I’ve been using this app for years and now I can’t use it unless I give access to my location, photos, contacts, and camera!!!!!! Why would a calculator need any of this info to function?? I’m not giving any of this to this, or any app…..

Response from developer

Please delete BigTipper v3.5.0, then install v3.5.1; which now allows you to deny the app access to location, photos, contacts info when the app first launches. BigTipper is not spyware; all your info is kept on-device, and never sent anywhere behind your back. The info requested enables BigTipper to log data to its history, and run expense reports on your behalf.

Excellent! 👍👍

I love this app, and use it all the time.
It’s easy to use and by far the best I’ve seen.
Nice update. Thanks 😊
When going through the history, (which is one of the features I love about this app.) sometimes it would be nice if I could zoom in on the receipts.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feature suggestion. Turns out you can already do this... From the History tab, tap a row. Tap "Edit". Tap the paper clip. Tap "Edit Photo". Pinch to zoom the receipt photo.

Best Tip Calculator!

Thanks so much for updating the app so it keeps working under future versions of iOS. I'm so happy to be able to keep using Big Tipper.

Response from developer

You're very welcome. Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you for updating!

Sooo happy this developer decided to update this app. It's one of the few that has remained on my home screen since 2008! And it was getting dangerously close to obsolete. I've tried a lot of tipping apps; this is the best.

Response from developer

You're very welcome for the update; glad you like it. Thanks so much for taking the time to tell us!
