Your Bill Whiz v1.2

Thanks for the confirmation on the Pro2 I will wait to see if any others try it before confirming. Do you know if the phone was stock or did it have a custom ROM?

In the Tax Tip screen is there a way you can make it so that if you click on anything in accident you can just click off the scroll bars?

Thanks for the suggestion I will work on that in feature release.

for most people gratuity is a standard percentage, i dont think it is necessary to have it at .01% unless your using the same coding for all the numbers, and you cant directly click on decimals when you want to change a number you have to click the number first then the decimal.
also maybe if you wanna add a currency converter too... in the future

Thank you for your opinion on this and I think that you migth be right. I was trying to use one code set for all number inputs but I can see me changing this. On a similar note I have the app present both tax and gratuity as ##.###% becuase I want this app to also tell you what percentage your paying if you enter a $ amount in taxes or gratuity. I have been considering the currency converter and will most likely add one in the future.

On the Omnia i910 this app seems to work well. Taking into account the beta status and your list of already knows issues + goals, what you have so far seems to work as advertized, doesn't have resolution issues, and seems moderately stable (I have crashed a couple times, but I can't pin it to the app alone (can't reproduce exactly)).

It may just be me, or maybe when the menu screen is tweaked it will be clearer, but for an app that is primarily based on figuring tips + bill splits, I would think it would be easier to open on the 'bill screen' first, and allow you to navigate to the calculator from there. (I can't remember what screen it started with because in looking again I may have uncovered a bug, I am stuck on the 'even/split' screen whenever I open the app.)

I also noticed you can'r enter more than $100 and change on the bill screen, and I know it may look cooler to have a scrolling choice area like it has, but maybe each digit could be altered allowing you to chose the hundreds place, the tens and the ones individually...either by scrolling menu like you have, a rolling one like another 'fruity' phone or have a numeric keypad pop-up. I know you can enter it into the calculator, but it just seems to me that by the time you get to the splitting stage you usually have the bill already and don't need to add it together to figute the tip or split.

Just my opinion, I may be in the minority, but overall....so far it is looking pretty good JCerna!!

Thanks for the feedback; I'm glad that the app looks like it should in the Omnia. It's really hard to write an app that will work with all screen resolutions/sizes. Anyways... That is weird that the screen opens up to the split/even screen. The app should open to a blank screen and from there you should be able to either go to the calculator or the bill, I will check into that.
Also there is numeric keypad but it only shows in the Bill tip/tax screen. When you click on a number to change and the scrolling numbers bars come up you can press in the soft keyboard icon to make it show. The number pad does need a makeover but that’s later.

OK....I see what you mean about hitting the keypad image and having the numeric pad pop-up....very nice, just what I was thinking shoulf be there!

I have noticed this time that the app opened on the bill tally screen, so It seems to get stuck on a certain screen for a while.....could be more my device than the app I guess.

It also gets more goofy the more I use it, the bill screen tends to get 'blocks' missing from it, showing the Today screen through at some points, or the numeric menu getting stuck in the 'on' position. I will look at the memory usage and see if it is doing something there. I will try to post a screenshot or two later after I get home to show you what I am trying to get at with the screen getting flukey on me!

I just updated to v0.21 and I got to say much better, but I don't like that the new number lists. I set mine up to the number key pad. Over all this app is great can wait for more.

Thanks for the update I have just posted the newer version, unless anyone reports a major bug I think I will move on to the other features.
