Luckily, there’s Tap Tip to save you the hassle of tipping wrong. And even calculating it. Within seconds you can get the perfect amount of tipping needed to keep that waiter smiling, your reputation intact and your finances up and running.

Tip Calculator % Tap Tip holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tip Calculator % Tap Tip has 2.6K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Tip Calculator % Tap Tip's written reviews are positive against 100% of Split's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
