## What is Tab?

Tab is the simple way to split a bill amongst friends. Snap a pic of the receipt and tap your items to claim them. Tax and tip are calculated for you. No more back-of-the-napkin algebra or typing in prices by hand!
Here’s how it works:

- Take a picture of your itemized receipt. Tab automatically detects all the items and prices.
- Select which items each person ordered. Everyone that has Tab on their phone can join onto the bill and select their own items - the app keeps everything synced in real-time.
- Multiple people can select the same item if they shared it.
- Tax and tip are automatically divided proportionally.
- If it's someone's birthday, you can split their total evenly among everyone else.
- View and share detailed summaries of your past bills

Tab has been featured on the Today show, "apps of the year" lists from Buzzfeed, Complex and others, Product Hunt, CNN, and more!

### 5/5 — the best receipt splitter

*2026-08-21, version 3.128.0*

figured I should give it a real review since I’ve been using this for years now, truly my favorite functional app, makes splitting the check a breeze and I recommend it to all my friends!  simple & easy to use 🫶🏼

### 2/5 — No Venmo Integration and can’t handle large bills

*2026-08-21, version 3.128.0*

I can’t figure out for the life of me how to setup the Venmo integration that is referenced in the description and FAQ.  

Also can’t handle large checks.  Had my group of 10 head out to a nice dinner and the Reciept scanning/OCR wouldn’t capture everything on the Reciept after several tries.  It would just stop capturing items. This is my primary complaint as this is what I use this app for: Big friend dinners where splitting the check is a pain.

### 5/5 — Best App, and I am a regular person (not a Bot)

*2026-08-19, version 3.128.0*

They did a good job with this app, simple, free, easy to manage in a large group

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-10, version 3.128.0*

There’s a little bit of a learning curve associated with first using it, and sometimes it doesn’t pick up the bill details perfectly so you definitely have to review it, but it makes a group outing so much easier!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-10, version 3.128.0*

Love this app only complaint is the enter tip manually link is un clickable on my iPhone 17 pro as it’s behind the swipe bar that appears at the bottom of screen. Hopefully a fix can be made for this.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2026-08-09, version 3.128.0*

Everything I need to split a bill

### 5/5 — Best bill splitter!

*2026-07-19, version 3.128.0*

Love this app for splitting bills!  It’s so easy to use.  You can either download a picture of your bill or manually submit.  Saves the headache of splitting the bill when dining with a small or large group.  It even has a birthday option, so you can split the birthday person’s order between the entire group. A+

### 5/5 — User Friendly

*2026-07-12, version 3.128.0*
