looks cool. just an fyi though, gratuity is 20% (dinning). also, how fast/easy will it be to input all the info? because if it takes too long some people can just figure it out in their head... but still, good idea.

[JCerna]

Don't worry I am making it so that you can quickly change tax and tips % and make them Default. I am still debating what input method to use... you will see once I post. I am hoping to have it up by Sunday night.
Thanks

Thanks this app is really cool I just had dinner with 3 friends and I was able to say how much each of us had to pay. I did not do a even split but instead I added my stuff using the calculator then did tips and tax. I also did the same for friends. You did not list this as a feature? The only complain I have is the icons on the bottom it's confusing.

[JCerna]

Thanks for the the feedback, yes you can do it the way you did it but I want to make it easier. Yes I am sorry about the menu icons at the bottom, I wil try to have something better next round.

looks pretty sweet

Your app works better in 6.5, I just installed for a friend and the scroll bars are not so great. I guess is that in 6.5 you can scroll from the center and he has to use the side bar to scroll. The weird think is that he did not mind, I guess becuase he does not use a 6.5 phone. Anyways thanks

[JCerna]

Yeah it was hard for me to decide if I should keep the number scroll lists or just go with a key numpad. So rigth now I am working so you can set your preference in options. Also I don't know if I should have the numpad avalible everywhere. For example I only have it avalible in the Tax Tips windows but in the home screen to change number of people it's only a scroll list. Also in options I made a list and no number pad. I love the scroll list in 6.5 but not so much in 6.1...

I installed this program in a T-Mobile Pro2 and it look good. When I open the keyboard it does not but you said that. Also using arrow keys to move between links (im not sure what to call them) they are not in order it jumps all around.
