✔ Uses your local currency or optionally pick a currency.

✔ Post the amount of the bill directly to PocketMoney. (Download PocketMoney LITE. It's free.)

✚ Full version does not display ads.







(* When redesigning CheckPlease for 3.0, I looked at all of the other tip calculators on the AppStore. Each had features I liked, and each had features I disliked I took combined features from several of them. BigTipper (keypad), TipTap (side-by-side scrollers), and Tip (Exact/Round selector and layout, but there's only so many ways to fit a keypad and side-by-side scroller on the screen).



CheckPlease™ has been calculating tips for users since 1995 starting with the Newton OS, migrated to the Palm OS, and now the iPhone OS.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT: There are some reviewers posting that CheckPlease is calculating the tip wrong. CheckPlease is calculating the tip correctly and does not tip on tax if you have a tax rate set. If you think it is calculating something wrong, then contact me at support [AT] catamount.com or in the forums, and I'll help you.



The most common error users have is they have rounding turned on, or they have a tax rate set.

What's New In This Version?
•Removed the confirmation to clear all fields when cleared is tapped on CheckTotal field.

•Fixed bug where turning on heads up display and off caused the wrong field to be calculated.

Version 3.4

Version 3.0
There are so many tip calculators for the iPhone, but I was unimpressed with most of them. Most have an interface that is a bit too complex - after all, all one is doing is calculating 15 or 20 % and occasionally dividing between a few people. This is not hard math - so to take the trouble to take out your iPhone, unlock it, launch an app, and then enter the data is not clearly an advantage unless it is quick. So the key is having a very quick way to enter the data and getting results without multiple screens and pop-up dials, calculators, etc.. With this quick and simple interface, it may actually be worth using.

ONE SMALL FIX NEEDED - Either a button to clear whole amt at once and/or have reset after closing to take new number without needing to delete first.
Problematic UI

Version 1.0
It's great to see free stuff out there but you really get what you pay for. The text is too small to easily see when copying to a receipt and the controls just don't feel right. There's another calculator on here that is similar but has these issues addressed and is very quick and easy to use and see
Now requires iOS4. Don't download unless you're running it.

Version 4.3
I have no plans to upgrade my iPhone 3G with iOS4 for a number of reasons. I was shocked when I downloaded the latest version of this app that I can no longer use it because it REQUIRES iOS4. So don't even bother downloading this unless you're running iOS4. Why is this the only of the dozens of apps that I have that has this requirement?
What's wrong with the math?

Version 1.0
The tax percentage appears to be calculated incorrectly.
10% of $100 ≠ $9.09
Good but iStockManager is better

Version 4.2
Tip Calculator by iStockManager has a much nicer UI, and no banners, it's free too.
