Scam app
Every time I use this app in a restaurant or diner, I would get blocked on the screen very hard to get rid of a scam saying that a charge has been put on my Apple account. Stay away from this app for your own good.
Shame
TL;DR for everyone: avoid. This app used to be decent, not good, decent. Is currently plagued by ad bombardments that span from fraudulent “your iPhone is infected” to adult material in ads.
Actual review:
I have had this app on my phone for years. It’s been my go to for calculating tips. While it hasn’t been perfect (tips were either calculated too highly or low) it was still close enough to warrant ignoring the issues.
Over that time I started noticing the out of the way banner ad started to get more obnoxious but, as a banner, could safely be ignored. Sometime in the last year, full screen ads (like you see pop up in mobile games) started appearing. While I genuinely despise this style of advertising, I know bills need to be paid, I get it.
Over the last six months however, I started to randomly get adult ads when opening the app.
This. Should. Not. Happen.
The first time I came across this was (of course) in a public restaurant. That can be genuinely embarrassing and cause a slew of problems for anyone using the app or witnessing it from a distance. Once I got an adult ad for a third time at a restaurant, I started calculating manually and decided to wait and see if things got better.
Today I was greeted with a full screen ad “warning” me that my phone is “infected” and needs to have an app downloaded to fix it. That’s the final straw for me. As someone who works in technology, this app has become predatory. If I could give it a zero star rating I would.
Fix this. Vet your advertising partners better.
To anyone who is considering using this app. Don’t. Find something else.

Yay!
Kevin to calculate tips on the goal it’s a pain in the butt for this makes life so much easier to imagine living life without it
Loaded with ads and some are for adult content.
Wasn’t expecting ads after reading another review. Ads are ok but the very first ad that popped up was for adults material.

I just download it and it seems to be very practical, easy to use, practical and accurate I like the fact that you can increase manually the tip percentage %.
It doesn’t jump to ALL these advertisements before allowing to give the tip % the previous one I had was a disaster u had to go thru all the commercials in order to get to the calculator. Thanks

Awesome
"This tip calculator is incredibly handy! It's user-friendly and accurate, making it easy to calculate the right amount of tip without any hassle. The interface is clean and straightforward, and I appreciate how it helps split the bill among friends. Definitely a must-have for dining out!"
No longer useable
Unfortunately the ads that now pop up cover the entire screen. There’s no way to dismiss the ad, rendering the app completely unusable
Awesome app
Very handy and helpful.
Remarks
Exellent tip app best I seem
Good, but …
… it doesn’t calculate a bill split multiple ways.
Swift and accurate
This app is very fast and as accurate as you could want. Gives me confidence in giving the best tip for the service given.
