mTip

pascal's picture

mTip is a nice and easy but fully-featured tip calculator and smart bill splitter.

Splitting evenly the bill between several persons is sometimes just not enough. When someone takes an expensive drink and another skips a delicious but expensive dessert, you need more than just an even split. mTip provides a simple and attractive answer to make everybody happy without the need to ask for separate checks.

 

For countries like France where tip is included in the price, mTip becomes a powerful bill splitter (mode "Tip before Tax" off).

Features:

  • Exclusivity: Smart splitting between guests.
  • Gets the job done with a minimum of interaction.
  • Three predefined and configurable levels of tips.
  • Change the grand total, and the tip is recalculated.
  • Change the guests' total, and the tip is recalculated.
  • One touch to round up or down any value, including guests' total.
  • One touch to quickly increment or decrement on any value.
  • Smart keyboard changing on the fly the keys visibility to show only keys you need.
  • If the tax is defined (for countries where prices are displayed without tax, like US):
    • The tip is calculated before tax,
    • Adjustments should not include tax.
  • If the tax is not defined (for countries where prices are displayed with tax, like France):
    • Tip is calculated after tax (balance due),
    • Adjustments should include tax.
  • International currency support.
 

Now available on Apple iTune for $0.99

And some of our best reviews on the Apple Store:

  • by TVMaestro:
    I've tried several, and I really think this is the best one out. You may think it doesn't have the best appearance, but it is quite fully-featured. You can easily tip before tax, and the stars feature allows you have three predefined tipping levels so you can vary your tip easily according to the service you received. All of the variables are visible on the main page, so there are no pages to flip through. You just select the different boxes, and enter your bill amount (subtotal or total), tip percentage, and splitting if you desire. Everything updates in real time. Also, rounding is VERY EASY. You can round either the tip or the total and it can be either up or down. Furthermore, the tip percentage UPDATES when you round, so you know exactly what percentage you're tipping. Splitting is a breeze, too. You can enter the total guests, and then turn it sideways to adjust the bill amounts if some people didn't drink or ate a more expensive meal. Great app!

    I've tried several of the tip calculators. Some are nicer to look at, but none is easer to use than this one, at least for me. Once it's set up for preferred tip levels and sales tax, it only requires one entry - the bill total - and it all falls out instantly and automaticall. I like the embedded keyboard and the fact that the keys don't click when tapped. This is the one I've kept.

The only thing I would like to see in a revision is quicker loading. It's not bad now, and I don't know the constraints, but quicker would be nice. It seems that most iPhone apps have a delay while loading.

    Great application for the iphone. This tip calculator (unlike others) is very fast, comfortable, and most importantly easy to use. Nice big buttons and pleasant interface is a nice touch for this application. Besides it costs only a dollar and beats the other overdone tip calculators.
