Anyway, I've used this app for years because it's 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 isn't 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), I'm hopeful. ### 2/5 — Unfortunate update *2015-12-03* The new version is not an improvement in any way. The developers have transitioned to a more "flat" environment, following the styling of Apple's 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. It's still functional, of course, but no longer unique, or special. ### 2/5 — Now, it looks like every other Tip App. Why did you do that? *2015-12-02* 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 it's 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. ### 3/5 — May not work at times. *2011-10-31* 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. ### 1/5 — Stick with free version *2011-06-17* 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. ### 5/5 — Good to have while dining out *2011-05-24* Good buy for the price of a dollar. Bought to avoid the ads in the free version. ### 1/5 — bill splitting *2010-08-20* 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. ### 5/5 — KDB6151 *2010-01-02* I have not actually used this app in a restaurant yet, but I did play around with it and do like the features. The reason I chose this particular tip calculator is that has the option of not tipping on tax. I strongly feel that tip should be based on the pre-tax amount as I feel it's double dipping to pay tip on the after tax amount. In addition, another feature that I like is that it takes into account any coupons/discounts I used so that you are not short changing the tip for your server, since your tip should be based on the amount BEFORE the coupon/discount was applied. ### 5/5 — Well Done!!! *2009-09-16* Finally, a simple, easy to use calculator!!! Well done!!! Definitely recommend the upgrade to the paid version. Money well spent.... ### 3/5 — Could use improvement on some features *2009-07-24* Well I typed the review and the nickname was taken so it erased the whole thing. iPhone issue I guess. On this app the tax feature is backasswards. It subtracts it from the subtotal instead of adding it to the subtotal and tip. It should be enter the subtotal, apply the coupon if applicable, add the tax and tip and show the total. That is how it is done manually. I tried to promote the app to friends and it actually was more cumbersome than mental math. I will keep an eye out for updates that address this issue but until then I will be looking for another app that actually works right. ## Frequently asked questions about CheckPlease ### Does CheckPlease have ads?
