App Review: Tippobillosplitamus
Everybody has played with tip calculators at one time or another, regardless of platform. Going out to dinner with a handful of friends used to be a headache when it came time to splitting up the bill, with or without factoring in tips. Exitloop’s Tippobillosplitamus (Tip-O-Bill-O-Split-Amus) puts a new twist on bill splitting and tip calculation. It’s obvious that time was taken to make sure it looks as good as it works. Each screen has a good balance of detail and simplicity, never looking cluttered.
Ever go to split up a bill with a handful of friends only to find out that one of them has $6 on him when each person is supposed to cough up $15 each? Tippobillosplitamus makes it easy to recalculate on the fly. Once you tell it how many people you are dividing the bill by, you can put in actual amounts per person, adjusting for those who overpay or don’t have their share.
Another feature I’ve yet to see implemented in other bill/tip apps
is the way Exitloop helps you to decide how much to tip. You’re given
three medals to choose from - bronze, silver, and gold. At 10%, 15%,
and 20% respectively, you simply pick the one you’d give the staff
based on their services. Users
are given the choice as to whether they want to pay by cash or credit, yielding different amounts for each (for example, if you want to have nice round numbers on your credit card statement. Also, the app allows you to choose many different currencies.
