User Reviews for Tab - The simple bill splitter

Love this App

Love this app and think it's the best thing to make splitting checks painless and fair. It even let's you split a single line item across multiple people - which I just figured out. I wish they'd consider a more intuitive UX for this - like clicking on the item for it to pop-up with a list of everyone on the bill and selecting all those that it applied to. That said, it ROCKS and getting the ability to send the results of everything over text without anyone having to download the app gets rid of any concerns about if you split the bill correctly. Great job - would love to see this sold as a feature to a payment company like Venmo!

Love!

I really love this app and think everyone should download it! It’s definitely user friendly and really simplifies group meals (which I’ve often avoided in the past because of splitting the bill lol). I do have one qualm tho! I was the one to put down my card and noticed that the total bill amount did not equal the bill amount on the actual receipt. Later when I got home, I realized that Tab based the tip on the subtotal BEFORE tax whereas the restaurant based the tip on the subtotal WITH tax (which is a much higher amount). If there’s a way to change that so the user has the option to change which total is taxed, that would be great! :)

Must-Have App

This app has changed everything. Gone are the days of getting stuck tipping way more than you owe because your friends were ordering top shelf cocktails and you were drinking water and at the end you just split tip and tax. It's so fast, so easy, and takes all the awkwardness out of telling everyone what they owe at the end of a meal. Being able to split things, to break up items that servers group together.. it's like the app developers have thought of everything.The ONLY qualm I have with tab is that the bills disappear after a bit. Would really help the morning after a night out to be able to review receipts from the night before. Other than that, WOW. Amazing.

AWFUL UPDATE - deletes your data unless you give them your email!

For years, Tab has saved bills locally once you’re done with them. I rely on that to do the math while I’m still at the table, then have people send me money later.The developers have CHANGED the behavior, with no notice. Bills are now DELETED once you leave the app, unless you sign up for a totally unnecessary account with them. The app still has the technical ability to save bills locally of course, and iCloud can sync and backup app data, but they have to find some leverage to get us to give them our email addresses so they can sell them or monetize us somehow.I’m at least accustomed to that kind of selling-out by app developers at this point. But what I cannot abide is lacking the common decency to TELL your users what you’re doing. I relied on behavior that’s been consistent for years to save ten minutes of unpleasant manual entry work, and you tossed it in the trash with no warning, for no other reason than to strongarm me into signing up for another account I don’t need. Shame on you.

Still Needed to Use A Napkin

I was so excited to be able to use this app, but unfortunately, I still had to bust out the old pen and paper. One problem that I encountered was with the splitting of items. My friend ordered 2 of one item ($5/item) and I ordered 1 of that same item. All three items were included on the same line and combined into 1 price ($15); however there was no way to assign 2 of an item to 1 person, so we had to create another nickname to assign to her to account for it. In addition, I had difficulty with being able to add the tax—-try as I might to click on the tax line to manually enter the number. In the end I just evenly split the amount amongst our party (even though that’s not accurate). One thing that I thought would be really helpful was if there was a tutorial (that wasn’t real time) or FAQ section—-unfortunately, the only way you can try the app out/learn how to use it is when you actually have a bill to use.

My favorite app right now, minor change suggested

I absolutely love the ease that Tab provides in splitting the bill with friends. Many of my favorite restaurants don’t offer split checks, which used to cause a lot of confusion and frustration when paying the bill, but now I immediately pull up the Tab app. My friends that are unfamiliar with the app are amazed and download it right away.The only thing I have trouble with is the Venmo sync feature. I have successfully connected my Venmo account, but can’t seem to request payment from my friends using Venmo via the Tab app. I get a message that the phone’s owner must make the request and am not able to proceed. This app easily warrants a 5 star review with this feature corrected!

Good, could be great

I recently used this app for the first time and was able to split a bill between seven people fairly easily and give them their total. I had a question come up later but could not get back to the details to verify that we had split the bill correctly, adding some audit trail would be really useful in this situation. Additionally, another great feature would be to be able to send out, via text or email, an itemized receipt to each of the bill participants. The people I regularly split large bills with have a wide range of comfort with technology, it would be nice to be able to send them something more detailed than just their totals but show them the items selected and their portion of taxes and tip. Asking them to join the bill from their device is way beyond what they would be willing to do. With these two enhancements, this would be the perfect app for my needs.

Love the app!

I love the app. It helped me split the check fairly between 11 people. It was easy to use. But I do have a few suggestions. I usually have a meal with a big group(10-20) and everyone wants a separate check. When the restaurant will not do that I will pay the check and then tell everyone what they owe. Most of the group is technically challenged (seniors) so have no clue how to use an app or do not want to so I get stuck with figuring out the check. It would be helpful if;1. I could identify the group before I get the check,2. Be able to see a snapshot of the details for one person at a time after I identify what they had as part of the totals so I could show them and 3. Allow cents when entering a tip (sometimes when using a credit card we add a tip amount that would round the total)4. For me the most important one would be to be able somehow to show all the details of the bill when emailing it or texting it or printing it. It only shows the “All Up” $ and a list of the items assigned to each person but not the detail prices, taxes, tip, etc. for each person.

Incredible app to split bills at restaurants

The functionality and user experience in this app is unparalleled. I’ve been looking for a good bill splitting app for a long time and this one is perfect. Snap a quick pic of the bill, it recognizes each line item and lets you assign a recipient to each plate. It then let’s you go even further and not only identify items that were shared - but also items that were shared unevenly. Meaning you can charge different percentages of the shared plate to different people. It takes all the complication out of splitting the bill and allows easy sharing the split bill calculations/breakdowns with friends. I will be using this app constantly. GAME CHANGER!

This app is amazing

There are a few weird functionality things that I wish would be fixed or modified (happy to provide feedback if the developers reach out) but all in all this app has saved our friends group so much time and energy splitting the bill. We have a few people that don’t drink, or only eat special or specific food and so when we go out a few people always owe a lot more than others. This app is so easy to use, we use it all the time now.1. I didn’t understand how the birthday button worked, but now that I do I love it! Allocate everything and then hit the button and say whose bday it is and it splits it amongst everything.2. We had a weird tax on the bill last night and it took us a while to figure out how to edit it. There were 2 “sub” taxes listed and a total and the app added all 3 in.3. It’s hard to label the bill. You have to go back in and hit it from a weird screen. 4. I love that I can text the breakdown of the costs to my friends, but like the layout and info of the breakdown in the app. Might be nice if you could text the image of the breakdown by person, instead of the whole thing, or for it to make a pdf of the breakdown that I could text to everyone! All in all the app is great and with weird situations the app usually has a response, it’s just hard to figure it out when that happens. We all love it. Most useful app I own by far!!!!

Description

Tab is the simple way to split a bill among friends. Snap a pic of the receipt and tap your items to claim them. Tax and tip are calculated for you.

No more back-of-the-napkin algebra or typing in prices by hand! Once you're ready, you can settle up with integrated Venmo. Here’s how it works: - Take a picture of your itemized receipt. Tab automatically detects all the items and prices. - Select which items each person ordered. Everyone that has Tab on their phone can join onto the bill and select their own items - the app keeps everything synced in real-time. - Multiple people can select the same item if they shared it. - Tax and tip are automatically divided proportionally. - If it's someone's birthday, you can split their total evenly among everyone else. - Settle up within your group using integrated Venmo or by recording a cash payment. - View and share detailed summaries of your past bills Tab has been featured on the Today show, "apps of the year" lists from Buzzfeed, Complex and others, Product Hunt, CNN, and more!
