TipCalc is a tip calculator application for iOS.
Submitted by: Eric Suarez
Time spent: 8-10 hours spent in total
The following required functionality is complete:
- User can enter a bill amount, choose a tip percentage, and see the tip and total values.
- Settings page to change the default tip percentage.
The following optional features are implemented:
- UI animations
- Remembering the bill amount across app restarts (if <10mins)
- Using locale-specific currency and currency thousands separators.
- Making sure the keyboard is always visible and the bill amount is always the first responder. This way the user doesn't have to tap anywhere to use this app. Just launch the app and start typing.
The following additional features are implemented:
- Created slider for custom tip percentages from 15%-25%
- Made a tip calculator for Apple Watch
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:
Owning an apple watch made me want to build a tip calculator watch app, so here is a walkthrough of tipCalc on Apple Watch:
GIFs created with LiceCap.
I struggled with NSUserDefaults and getting it to work correctly, but then I figured it out by following the tips provided by CodePath.
I struggled at first with the watch app, but apple's developer documentation really helped me solve the problems I ran into.
