Hi Kim, I'm not sure which app Eileen meant, since the closest match to her description that I found is a free app called "Global Tipping". However here's another suggestion that might do what you want: • iTip (tip calculator) by PalaSoftware, Inc. (free): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/itip-tip-calculator/id282914454?mt=8
This app is very accessible with a pretty clean interface and some nice options for mailing a record of the transaction, and also rounding up or down the total and splitting the bill. It's ad supported, but the ad is unobtrusive, and is the last element at the bottom of the screen, so will not get in your way. There is one unlabeled button in the top right corner of the screen that takes you to a settings screen, but you'll probably find the default settings work fine for you. The first item to fill in is the "Bill Amount" text field. Double tapping there brings up a keyboard in bottom third of the screen with 4 rows of number buttons in 3 columns, similar to a numerical keypad layout, and a 5th row with buttons for "delete", "clear", and "done" just above the number buttons. The top number row is "7 8 9", next is "4 5 6", then "1 2 3", and the bottom row is a "0" button that spans two columns in width with a decimal point (i.e., "period" button) at the bottom right corner. Enter the bill amount by double tapping the number keys and period button. If you make a mistake, double tapping the "delete" button just above the number "7" button will delete the last entered character. You can also erase the entire bill amount by double tapping the "clear" button just to the right of "delete". When you are finished, double tap the "done" button at the far right, just above the number "9" button of the input keypad. This will close the input keyboard., and if you now check the "Bill Amount" it will show your entry in dollars. (You can obviously use the calculator for other currencies, but it automatically puts in a "$" symbol. Also, the app always stores the last tip calculation entries you made, so even if you clear the bill amount and type in a "0" and double tap "done", it will revert to the last real amount that you entered.) Flick right from the bill amount text field to "Tip Percent" and on to the buttons for "10%", "15%", "18%", "20%", and "other". By default "18%" is selected, but you can change this. If you want to choose some other percent amount, double tap the "other" button, and use the input keypad to enter a new amount, taking care to first double tap the "clear" button on the keypad. Otherwise the current button selection amount will appear in this text field (e.g., "18%"). Double tap "done" to escape the input keypad. If you enter a specific tip amount, a text field with that percentage will appear instead of the "other" button after buttons for "10%", "15%", "18%", and "20%". Double tapping any of those buttons will cause the fifth element to revert back from a text field to the "other" button. Flick right past the buttons for tip percent to the "Tip Amount" text field, which will display the calculated tip amount. If you flick right past the tip amount text field, you'll reach the "Grand Total" text field that gives the Bill Amount plus Tip Amount, preceded by buttons for "hyphen" (really the minus sign) and "plus". Now this is a cool feature: if you want round up or down the total amount to whole dollars, double tap the "plus" or "hyphen" buttons. Each double tap will increase or decrease the grand total by a dollar. And if you flick left back to the tip percent, you'll find a text field with corresponding tip amount expressed as a tip percent. The tip amount text field (in dollars) also gets updated. So you can adjust the grand total by however many dollars rounded up or down you wish, and go back to check the corresponding tip percentage that is used. Next cool feature is the "Split Bill" options. Like the "Tip Percent" there are standard button options of "1", "2", "3", and "4" followed by an "other" button that you can double tap to enter some other number via the input keyboard. As with the tip percent entry, double tap the "clear" button before choosing your entry numbers, and double tap the "done" button above the "9" button to exit. Flicking right from the split bill options takes you to the "Person Total" entries for split bills, with a listing of the individual tip amount. As with the "Grand Total" the amount in the text field for each person can be adjusted up or down to round to whole dollar amounts by using the "plus" and "hyphen" buttons before the text field for "Person Total". and again, if you flick left you can read off the adjusted Grand Total, Tip Amount, and Tip Percent for the changes you've made. Finally, you can email a report of the entire transaction using the "Compose" button in the too left corner, along with any text you care to add. It will report the bill amount, the tip both as a percentage and an amount, and the grand total amount. If you used the split bill feature, a line will also be appended like "Split the bill 3 ways" and the dollar amount paid by each will be listed. For completeness, I'll describe the adjustable switch buttons in the settings (the unlabeled button in the top right corner of the screen, which does not seem to let VoiceOver labels "stick"). All switch buttons are "off" by default. If you double tap to turn on the switch button for "Tax", then following the "Bill Amount" there will be text fields for the tax as a percentage of the bill amount and as a dollar amount. You can double tap in either field to enter a per centage or a dollar amount, and the corresponding text field will be calculated. For example, if you enter the tax dollar amount, the percentage field will show you the per cent tax on the bill amount used for that dollar amount of tax. The tip amount is still calculated as a percentage of the bill amount, but the grand total will include the bill amount, tax, and tip, as will the person totals. Again, the person totals can be rounded up or down to whole dollar amounts. The second switch button in settings is for "qualitative tipping" and if selected it introduces a slider for adjusting the default selected tip rate. Since VO's slider control is not really good for fine tuning, and you'd have to flick to read off the actual tip percentages and amounts each time you use the slider, I'd give this setting a miss and leave it on "off". The final settings switch button is for "standard keyboard" and turning this to "on" let's you enter numbers, decimal points, and also currency symbols with the standard keyboard that shows up with "more numbers". You can use touch typing or dictation here, and also enter different currency symbols, but I find dictation is slower than manual entry, and I personally find the default number keypad easier to use. Exit the settings screen by double tapping the "Done" button in the top right corner of the screen. The settings screen also lets you send an email to iTip Support if you need to contact the developers. HTH.
