Tipping is hard.  It's just so annoying to do the math for the tip amount and write down the accurate total. When a check/bill goes to a party of people, splitting the check/bill just makes the math even harder. InstaTip is a smart tip calculator and check/bill splitter for daily usage. This app is thoughtfully crafted to provide an intuitive UI to calculate the tip, round the total, and split with multiple people. Core Features: • Bill/Check text recognition for automatic tip calculation. • Tip based on the tax-excluded amount (before tax), to avoid the unfair tip suggestions shown on the bill/check. • An intuitive bill/check view. Just input what you see on the real bill/check and get the tip and total automatically. • Customize the tax rates. • Calculate the tip by 3 customizable tip rates or input tip rate directly. • Tip rounding: • Round total or tip up or down. • Palindrome round. For example, $76.23 will be rounded to $76.67. • Tautonym round. For example, $76.23 will be rounded to $76.76. • Tip splitting, show tip per person and total per person. • Display current date time and address to help to recall the payment. Tips: By using "Palindrome total" or "Tautonym total", you could easily validate your transaction on the credit card statement later. More features are coming, stay tuned!
