Web App Wednesday - TipCalc Review

Tip CalculatorTrue story - I went out to eat with a bunch of writing teacher friends of mine.  When it came time to pay the bill, were were at a loss.  Imagine a bunch of word nerds trying to divvy up the check, figure out tax, and calculate a tip.  It was honestly a pretty sad state.

So, there we were, running out of fingers to count on, and contemplating taking off our shoes, when I whipped out my iPhone and loaded my TipCalc Web App. Not only did it figure out the tax and gratuity correctly, but it also divided the check up evenly so that we wouldn’t squabble.

Danny Goodman’s Tip Calculating WebApp is a thing of simplistic beauty.  You simply browse over to the calculator on your iPhone.  You are prompted to enter in the food and beverage total (a nice calculator touch-pad is provided), the tax total, and number of diners.  The Calculator does the rest.

This is a very simplistic application with a very targeted purpose.  I love it though.  I had an application like this on a Palm Pilot years ago, and it cost me 5.00.  Danny Goodman’s application is just as good, and it is free.
