Check Split is not a typical tip calculator. Instead, it has been designed for the real-world task of splitting restaurant tabs among a group of diners.
Other apps which offer to split a check just apply an equal portion for each diner but with Check Split that is only the beginning. In a typical scenario, after telling everyone that their portion of the bill and tip is $27.44, one person will toss in $30 and say, "That will cover mine," while another will say "But I only ordered a salad so Im only paying $12." And thats when everyone gets frustrated with the math and the dinner ends with a comment such as, "Oh well, I guess the waiter will just get a big tip."
Check Split solves this problem by allowing amounts to be entered for each diner while immediately updating the amount due for the remaining diners.
But thats not all. Check Split is a full featured tip calculator which can calculate tips based upon the full check amount (with or without tax included) for any tip percentage you would like. The settings will allow you to choose whether to apply the tip to the tax and decide if you want the guest totals to be rounded to the nearest cent, nickel, dime, quarter, dollar, etc.
For your convenience, you can enter names and take photos to keep track of the diners splitting the check. You can choose people from your address book, Facebook friends, pick a photo from your photo library or take a photo with your built-in camera. Or simply use the calculator and enter no data, if you prefer.
Check Split was designed to be a universal app from the very beginning. Which means you can run the app on you iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch with a beautiful interface that makes the most of your device.
Latest reviews of Check Split app for iPhone and iPad
Ive tried all of the tip calculators in the app store and this is the best. The fact that its beautiful, too, is a bonus.
By far the best and most user friendly app for splitting checks at restaurants!!! DONT WASTE YOUR TIME ON OTHER APPS! I deleted all other bill/Check Splitting apps and now solely use Check Split.
The app looks great, but it doesnt do what it promised... You put in the bill total, then you add in the tip. And tax.... Magically it is the same as what you already totaled up on your paper check if you had a 2nd grade education. Then you proceed to let your stingy friends decide on how much they pay (which is subtracted from this total and then the last person will be stuck with the rest of the bill). What a horrible app! I feel cheated. I thought you can put in how much your friends purchased so then you could figure out their portion of the tax and tip. I thought this app would do that without just dividing the total, but I thought wrong :-(
I was thinking this would solve my problem. It did not. Calculations did not work for total, or tip amount and for some reason I could not change the tip percent from 18. I tried it for 8 people and it gave me a total at the end of the check. but the total did not transfer to the top and the calculations just did not work. Not worth the $0.99
