Hate having to get your calculator out every time you eat out with friends? Billy does this for you! Just take a picture of your bill in a restaurant or bar, Billy will automatically scan the bill and pull out each of the items. Then each person says what they are paying for. You can add a tip, and then see how much everyone needs to pay. This makes it much quicker to work out how much to owe. This app has only recently been released, so you may notice some glitches. Let us know how you get on, as we'd love to know!
