Plates by Splitwise 4+

My friends and I love this app it has made going to eat so much easier when the bill comes!! However, sometimes friends start milling around when the bill comes and it’d be great to have an option tick off from a list of friends who i regularly dine with that are there, and have it show above their plates just the way mine shows “YOU”; then I can easily see their names and assign the right amounts to them, rather than try to count plates and keep them straight, which can get hard when there are 10 people involved.

Makes sharing the city of a meal with friends a breeze. App apportions tax and tip by the individual diner's total (when I first tried this app about 6 months ago, the sales tax was done as an even split by the number of fingers. Kudos to the developers for fixing this).

I love this because dragging items one by one to the individual diners automatically sums them up. No need for another calculator to be open. Another nice feature is that you can stack the completed plates for another total, like when two diners want to pay together as one.

This app has literally changed my restaurant-dining life. I used to be one of those clumsy, confused souls that sat staring at the receipt while desperately trying to figure out the proportion of tax in addition to tip for everyone WHILE ALSO trying to figure out how to physically pay because everyone has different variations in preference for card, cash, or Venmo. This at least cuts down the math time and that is HUGE to hold people accountable for their totals fast! If only the U.S. factored tax and tip into the price of the food already like some other countries... :( But THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THIS APP! <3
