App Review: BillPal - split bills between friends easily
BillPal is a simple yet essential app that performs the sole purpose of splitting bills between friends equally, including the share of sales tax and tips.
Helping users solve the dilemma of splitting bills, this app scans the receipt and tallies what each individual owes according to what they had. Users can later text the bill divide to each friend at the end, for verification as well.
Stylishly designed in purple, the app gets right down to business with its home page as a list of items that users can scan or manually write in from the bill. The People tab lets you add people to the bill, with their names for convenience, and the Split tab lets you allocate each item to a person, even if two people shared one item.
The Pay tab lets users put in the tax and tip they would like to add to the bill, including a calculator to input the right amount to the bill. The bill is finalized and split according to what each had, inclusive of tax and tip.
Available only on iOS, the application is free to download and importantly, doesn't include disruptive ads. Android users can try Splitwise, which is an alternative on the Google Play Store, helping users divide bills. The simple and useful application can make eating out with friends much easier, without involving a lot of phone calculators.
