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.

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.

Have had and used this app since, seems like day one. Thanks for the update!
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!

My app no longer automatically locates resturants?
The best tip calculator for the iPhone
I've been using Big Tipper since August of 2008, and it is STILL by far the best tip calculator in the app store (and I've tried a lot of them), which is why it costs what it does! This totally feels like an app that Apple would write in terms of having a perfect UI. You don't have to deal with "cute" graphics, or waste taps toggling between multiple screens, and there's no silly "rolling number wheels" to enter your total bill - just tap the digits and go! Very quick and easy, which is what you want in a tip calculator.
The fact that it automatically subtracts out sales tax from the total is great, as are the various rounding options you get by repeatedly tapping the "Round" button.
Well worth the $ for the wonderful UI! It really IS that much better than the cheaper or free apps!!
To the devs: thanks for updating the app to support the high-res display on the iPhone 4! It looks great!

Great App, but Please Add This
I recognize two levels of gratuities. For dinner and for drinks. It is customary to tip 15 -20% for dinner and 10 - 12% for drinks. Can you add this option? Paying 18% across the board for the entire event is a bit much I think. Thanks.
Good then, now much improved
I've been beta testing so this review is against 2.4 even though iTunes thinks otherwise.
I've been using this since the early days and it keeps getting better. The latest version automagically locates restaurants near your current location to simplify data entry. It manages to hide the time required to do this while you're doing the other data entry.
I've read the other reviews and all problems noted have been addrssed in the latest version. The split problem mentioned by NatMax178 is addressed. When you add the bill to the history and either display it immediately or look back in the history, you get two panes: one with the totals assuming no split and another showing the split.

Now definitely the BEST Tip program
These developers have handled all problems and have now created the best, easiest to use tip program. There is sales tax support (subtracts sales tax from gross before calculating tip), rounding, and the calculator buttons are right on the home screen. Also you can use the slide bars, OR tap the bars (either the amount, split between persons, or the tip amount) and enter the number manually without using the slide controls. Easy to read and use, and just cannot be better. It is now the best tip program in the app store, and I carefully looked at all of them before buying this one. UPDATE: Now has historical restaurant input. I know you can use the calculator to calculate a tip, but for those who like the convenience and ease of use of a tipping program, this one is THE BEST!

Great app, but...
I'm really looking forward to using this app. However, the one thing I would like to see added in the next version is Location Aware Sales Tax. I travel and I'm not always going to remember the sales tax rate for a given location. So it would be icing on the cake if Big Tipper would auto input the sales tax rate based upon my current location.

Nice program
Nice and easy go use. Ability to disable sounds would be nice!
UPDATE: v1.2 is great. All this program is missing is a built in calculator for those times when you forget to ask for separate bills.

Cool stuf
You ned it
Works great
Works great and is awsome
Great App!
Great application, I use all the time and highly recommend it if you eat out as much as I do!
BEST TIP APPLICATION!
This is the best tip application out. It automatically subtracts the tax from total, then it figures out the tip (so that you are not tipping on the tax). The end result includes the total amount of check plus a tip that based on the check amount minus tax. It also allows you to change the percentage of tip you want to give, split the check and round the total amount up or down. It is quick and very simple to use. I love it!

Does the job flawlessly
Now the tax option is coming out any day this app does the job really well. I would give it 5 stars if they allow food and drink to be split as some people don't drink and always get lumbered with a share of the drink tab.
Perfect!
It works. Simple.
Easy to use
A great little App. The round-up button is really a good addition missing in some of the similar Apps. I just hope the split is increased from the 8 limit in the next version. Deffinatley worth a look.

Yes had not realised you can click on the bands and tap in numbers. :-)
