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!
