### 2/5 — Color contrast issue

*2026-07-08, version 2.5.2*

This light blue background with white text is nearly impossible to see for users with color contrast distinction issues. Please make the default have more contrast and allow the user to change text and background colors.

### 5/5 — Best Tip Calculator. Period.

*2018-03-22, version 2.5.2*

I would have paid $1.99 for this app’s quick ease of use and elegant interface. Force Touch shortcuts are truly a godsend and a crazy omission from paid apps that are far less of a joy to use. 

I’d love to see more features added (and would pay for them):
- Ability to round tip up to the nearest dollar (bonus for goofy options like palindromes)
- Ability to change the color of the app’s background or icon color (or spin the wheel and get a new color on each launch)

### 5/5 — Beautiful and Simplistic

*2018-01-07, version 2.4*

The perfect minimalistic tip calculator app. I highly recommend this app if you don’t want all the bells and whistles like other apps have.

### 5/5 — Good, solid, tip calculator

*2017-02-07, version 2.2*

Does what it says it will do. Easy to use and customizable. 5 Stars!
