Disappointed!

I have been using this application for years, but it has become completely unresponsive since the interface was altered.

I attempted to reinstall it, but this proved unsuccessful.

Is it due to the fact that the imperial system is not utilized in Canada?

Alternatively, is my iOS configured to operate in French?

I am uncertain; however, I intend to promptly locate an alternative application.

Hey Jean, I'm so sorry about that! I would love to help you out with that, but I can't do it through an app review. It would be so much easier if you would just contact me at the support email address. I would love to get to the bottom of this. If you choose not to, I wish you luck with the new app. I hope you find one that works great for you!

Loved the app. Hate the update!

I used to use this app regularly to calculate the proper tip. However, after the recent major update it has become an absolute pain. I used to be able to tap on the pre-tax amount to enter the correct number and it would automatically adjust the tax percentage. Now I have to go into settings and guess the tax rate. I NEVER see the tax rate printed on checks, so it’s a long round of trial and error.
Bring back the ability for us to enter both pre AND post tax amounts! I can’t just set the rate and forget it since it varies wildly here in this state depending on what you order.
Saw the developer tell someone else to put 0% as the tax rate and enter their pre-tax total, but maybe just bring the feature back?!

Hey! The feature to tap in the bill breakdown are will be making its way back in a future update. There is a feature being worked on now that will automatically get the sales tax rate for your state/county. This is will an opt in setting that would use your location. Thanks for the feedback! If you need to provide more details or have other suggestions you can email me. I don't check reviews daily.

The BEST!

Easiest, logical and quick. Great interface. Latest update was fantastic and it looks great. I highly recommend this app.

Response from developer

Love the A320! Thanks for the feedback! It's still a work in progress but bringing it back to its former glory has been fun. More updates to come!

Font Size

I've been using this for a long time, but the font size in the updated version is too small. I need an option to change it.

Response from developer

Hi sminsmin, I can accommodate that somewhat. Is there a particular area you would like a larger font? I'm assuming the upper portion where the bill breakdown is. Or are you looking for larger fonts all the way around? Feel free to email me with details, and in the meantime I will see what I can do.

Over a decade of no problems

Free app. Does exactly what it says. No excessive ads. I’ve had this for years now and it recently got an update?! AMAZING. They don’t make em like they used to.

Response from developer

Thanks Foul Wind! I appreciate the kind words.

It’s wrong

This update sucks it not correct adding total

New Version 5.0.1

Have been using or several years now and been very pleased with.
However, Sorry to say, but the new version is not calculating the total Tip or doing the proper “rounding” when the Tax is included or even if it is excluded, like in the older version.
Could you please take a look at that ?
Thanks for a great product that seniors could use at ease.

Just got the newer version 5.0.2 that fixes the above issues plus more.
Thank You So Much, Greatly Appreciated !!!

I will definitely take a look, thanks for the information!

Not correct

The app updated and it is not working correctly. I have it set to tip after tax. The app still added tax.

Never should have updated

This update is terrible. On the old version I used to be able to adjust the tax amount because it’s different from city to city. Now I have to go into settings to change it every time. I never should have updated this app.

Response from developer

Hey there Pijamma, feel feee to email me. Also, a work around is to simply enter 0 for the tax rate, then just use the check total and ignore the tax all together. I'm sorry the update isn't working for you, hopefully you could find a tip calculator that does what you are looking for. Thanks for the feedback!

Loving the update!!!

I've used this app for many years and was so glad to see it updated. I like how I can now add my own custom tip amount. Keep up the great work!

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind words, and go Jays!

New UI needs some tweaks

I have been using your app for several years and I always use it to calculate my tip to round the total to the nearest dollar. Super happy! Just a couple suggestions for the new UI. Need a reset button or something. Once you have a full amount entered the delete key doesn't seem to work anymore. I have to kill the app or hit the settings button to reset things. Also as mentioned the round total selection doesn't survive a app reset. Kinda annoying. Look forssyto your improvements! Thanks again.

Response from developer

Great feedback! I added a "C" key to clear the total, and the Del key now acts as a backspace key. It will be in the next update, along with saving you Round/Don't Round selecting.

Not the same app anymore

When the server brings the check it has the tax already calculated and the different tips to choose from so why recalculate the tax which is different in every county?
The app should take the total and calculate the different tips !!!
I lost it when I tried to use the app after the update

Response from developer

Good find CorpDavid! That is now fixed and will be in the next update. The calculation now behaves like the old version.

Useless after 10 Years

This app has been on my phone for over a decade. It’s always just worked. But with the most recent 5.0 overall it’s useless.

Adding ads, sure I get that. But why change the tip percentage scrolling so you’re forced to use a fixed fee percentages? Delete button only works half the time.

But the worst change is to the tip calculation methods. Why am I forced to enter a pretax total for the calculations to be accurate? I am already putting in a tax rate, I should be able to just enter the check total.

Please, please, please roll back this version until the bugs are worked out.

Hey mrmrk77, thanks for using the app for that long! Delete button fix is on its way, along with a Clearr button to quickly clear the amount. It was mentioned in another review about the calculation and I will get that taken care of as well. Look for an update this week. I appreciate the feedback and don't hesitate to email with more suggestions or changes you would like to see.

Love this app

I have been using this app for years. Makes it so much easier in figuring out the tip. In the past version it remembered your preference as to if you wanted to round the tip, or total or neither. This version seems to default to don’t round each time it is opened. On the plus side, the old version always held the cost of the last bill forcing you to clear it before calculating the tip for the new bill. This version no longer does that! Now if it could just remember my preference to round the tip. Only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

Thanks SoundGuyNJ! The next version will save your last rounding setting, that was an oversight on my end, sorry about that.

V5.0.1 Don’t update !!!

If you liked the previous version… you will hate the update… They removed the tip wheel/slider … Now there are fixed buttons for the tip percentage… The app used to remember your settings, like round up balance … Now it doesn’t… Overall not as useful as it was… I’ve been using this app for years … sad I’ll be replacing it…

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback EvilMonkey44. This was a major update and we're still working through some differences from the old version. Hope you stick with this app, and if not good luck with the replacement!

Fix the delete button

Fix the delete button, it only clears the last digit entered instead of the entire amount.

Response from developer

That's on the list to be fixed in the next update. Thanks for the info. As a reminder, there is a support link anyone can use to contact me directly rather than reporting bugs here.

Tip calculator

Very small and simple app, but very useful.

Using this app for years

I bought the Classic version so I would not have to see ads. It’s not available anymore but I do see the Lite version is still in the App Store and it addresses feedback I should have submitted long ago. I’m going to give it a shot!

I would gladly pay for an updated Classic version as well! Can’t say enough about it!
