Plates by Splitwise

Pretty good app. Didn’t give it 5 stars because I didn’t like how the tip is calculated. Easier if we were able to enter the tip manually rather than the slider. With the slider/percentage, it was not accurate. Also preferred if it was portrait rather than landscape.

It’s the perfect app for restaurants however when it comes to add the tip at the end, you are stuck with a percentage slider. I’m sure I’m not the only one who likes to add a custom amount of tip to roundup the bill. But there’s no option for such thing in the app. The answer online from the team was they don’t plan to add this feature, that’s sad!

Please make it up to 18 people.

I use it all the time going out with friends to help simplify splitting the bill equally. It's very easy to use and your friends will love you for it!

Excellent for complicated bill splits (I.e. when there are lots of people, but 3/5 shared a bottle, and 2/5 is vegetarian so only had certain dishes, etc.).

For the next update, consider having the names visible on the main screen? Right now, when I rename "Person X", the name isn't visible. Having it visible like the word "You" would be helpful. Thanks.

Works like hot chicken on my plate in the morning! As I rush out using this amazing app! Chicken nuggets!!!!

Simple, quick, USEFUL!!! Suggested enhancements: - allow the user to override the calculated tip amount by entering the actual tip paid -- often people will round-up a bill this way; then Plates could divide this tip amount proportionally amongst the people; - option to identify each person by their name or initials; - option to calculate tip before or after tax (I always use pretax amount, so that could be the default choice!); - option to split a dish percentage-wise, for example 60/40 or 30/30/40 ...; - option to select more descriptive label for each item, from a list of standard descriptions such as: starter, soup, salad, appetizer, beverage, sandwich, burger, fries, side dish, main, beef, chicken, pork, lamb, fish, veg, other main, dessert, cake, pie, cookies, icecream, other dessert... - when the final total results in an odd number, for example $101.87, allow user to override that with a round number such as $102.00, and the app could then automatically proportionately add the difference (in this case, split 13 cents) to each person, OR, the app could suggest a nearest total that would result in round figures for each person. Handy if they're paying with cash!! - Always show the calculated grand total at the top or bottom of left-hand screen. These are meant to be constructive suggestions. It's a well designed app as is!! Thanks!

Simple, beautiful and functional!

Does everything you thought you needed it too, and then thinks of so much more you didn't even know you needed! Perfect!
