Tip Simple is a convenient, easy-to-use tip calculator application with a Simple and Custom tipping mode. Additionally we've included tipping standards for the United States to help with common questions about tip etiquette. Simple Mode: Use simple mode to handle more common restaurant scenarios where there is a party from 1 - 6 and you'd like to select from a standard set of tip percentages. The key here is speed--just enter your bill amount, tap a few settings and you're done! Custom Mode: When you've got a larger party or would like to fine tune the tip percentage, or provide a tip percentage not available in Simple Mode, Custom is the way to go. Just click the tip percent or number in party and a wheel will appear letting you select a custom percentage or party count. Tipping Standards: We've included information about standard tipping practices for different types of services. The standards information is currently United States only but we are working on information for Europe in the next release. Receipt Capture: Needs to capture your receipts for expense purposes? We've got you covered with our receipt capture feature.
