App Review: Tip Calculator

Whether you’re devouring a gourmet dish at a fine dining establishment or grabbing some grub at a local diner with friends, having the right tool to help you tip your server appropriately can really come in handy. Good news, fellow iPhone users! There IS an app for that! Tip Calculator, by iHandy Inc., is an awesome tool to have anytime you plan on going out to eat. For those of you who are mathematically-challenged (like me!), Tip Calculator can save you valuable time and effort when calculating tip amounts.

Dining out has never been simpler, thanks to this easy-to-use app! We all know how important it is to recognize great service at restaurants, so why not make sure you provide an adequate tip to show your appreciation? Of course, there are times when a waiter or waitress does a fair job, or even offers extremely poor service. With the help of Tip Calculator, you can avoid over-tipping in these instances, as well.

Depending on the number of people in your party, Tip Calculator will come up with the proper tip amount necessary for ensuring your server receives the amount they truly deserve. The way this innovative app comes up with precise calculations is determined by a few factors: the number of people that are splitting the bill, and the percentage that you, as the user, deem appropriate for tipping the server, based on their overall performance.

After all factors have been put in place, Tip Calculator provides you with four different amounts: total to pay, total per person, total tip, and the tip per person. Thanks to this organized breakdown of payments, you can eliminate the hassle of negotiating bill splits among a large group of people. Best of all, you won’t have to carry a calculator with you every time you head to your favorite restaurant! I would highly recommend this app to anyone who frequently dines out and is not the best at calculations. I use it every time I go out to eat!
