Tip Calculator is a tip calculator application for iOS.
Submitted by: Gerardo Aldana
Time spent: 5 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.
- User can select between tip percentages by tapping different values on the segmented control and the tip value is updated accordingly
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:
- List anything else that you can get done to improve the app functionality!
- Dark mode option that can go back to light mode as well.
- Functioning tip slider and a label to go along with it.
- Functioning slider that gives the user the option of adding other people into the total bill.
- Total amount owed by each person.
- Changed default colors and also changed original format of the calculator.
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:

Describe any challenges encountered while building the app.
I had a hard time getting adjusted to swift because it has been a while since I last used it. Installing Xcode was also a challenge because it is a large file. There were many errors and failures in the downloading process. Other than that I just played around with the different tools in xcode and was able to create the calculator.
