Tab - The simple bill splitter for Negative User Reviews

✓ It's nice, but needs some polishingThe image processing is the main attraction. The accuracy of extracting itemized items is decent. Could be better, although I realize that's not an easy task. The app may mistakes items with the word 'tips' in it (e.g. S-tips/steak tips) as included tips and so it will not appear in the list of items. Deleting the included tips should automatically add this misinterpreted item to the list, but it doesn't. It has to be entered manually. I'd like to see the tax displayed as a percentage as well. Because I know the tax in my area is 7%, I'd quickly know if the list of items is wrong. I also would like to see a pre/post tax option to for tip calculations..JoSchmo007Version: 3.64

✓ Good startThis is a good start because this app is so needed. However I think there are some areas for improvement that are needed before I use it full time. For example, there isn’t (or I haven’t figured out) how to unequally share a multiple quantity item. I.e. if the table bought 6 sodas total, but one friend got 3, you got 2, and another friend got 1, there is no way to split the bill like that. I wish the people were color coded as well, so you could quickly see who was what on the bill..Mkb1232Version: 3.75.0

✓ Wasted effortI downloaded Tab to keep account of restaurant bills for a short holiday with friends. It failed to work offline which is pretty useless if you haven’t got a phone signal or WiFi which was the case on some occasions. It appeared to save bills and take photos of them all of which I have been subsequently unable to access or load. This is a well designed and clever app but totally useless if it falls over so badly. More work needed!.GregWDVersion: 3.11

✓ Great app - not quite there yetIts a fantastic app that is really useful, it splits bills easily, notices when there’s multiple items under one line and splits it into two items on the bill, it is quick and easy to use. What it’s not doing am for me (iPhone 13) is reading the text for some reason. So I have to input manually. Feature requests I’d love to see: - connection to Apple wallet or similar so people can settle the tab easy - currently Venmo only and the UK cannot access - setting up a group so that all bills are split depending on who your with, like specifically a group going on holiday or buddies you regularly hang with. - better ux, it’s not the easiest to navigate if you don’t faff for a few seconds and realise there swipe functionality..LangersandmashVersion: 3.102.0

✓ Hard to Edit Photo Captured BillsThe instructions are clear; however the app is a little buggy. I had several items that had parentheses on the original bill and once imported through the camera, the items’ names for some reason cannot be properly edited. I couldn’t delete the words of the name that were attributed to the wrong line items. I had to delete the items, with the dollar amounts, completely and manually input them back again; at which point, I just decided to go back using an Excel sheet because what’s the point..Blessed be the fruitVersion: 3.102.0

✓ This app rocks, but Venmo integration doesn’t seem to workI just used this app for the first time, and it is unbelievably awesome. Makes splitting bills super easy. I do, however, feel like half of the convenience would be the Venmo integration, but I was not able to get it to work. When I click “Connect Venmo” all I see is a blank screen with 2 empty circles, and clicking “Allow” does not do anything. After awhile I’ll then get a prompt that says “We were unable to connect your Venmo account, please try again”. This app is such a great idea, and I would love to come back and update this review to be 5 stars if the developer could reply & comment with how to get the Venmo integration to work..Unhappy-investorVersion: 3.96.0

✓ Has potential to be a must have app by falls shortIt’s a great app to organize a check. I’m usually the guy in my group that Venmo everyone their portion of the check. This app made it super easy to split it by pressing the items. The part that’s missing is that, there is no way to request a person their portion of the check. They have to all download the app and choose themselves. This is a bit impractical when you have a large group and possible friends that don’t want to download the app or people you don’t know well. It would be so much better if you can send requests via Venmo since it already integrates with it..StayclassicsVersion: 2.17

✓ Nice app but needs some UI adjustmentsWhen adding names they show up on the bottom which works if you have an iPhone with a home button. But for newer iPhones with FaceID and no home button apps tend to avoid having actionable buttons in lower area where the white bar the represents home is at. In this app when you have multiple names on bottom and have to swipe left/right it sometimes causes swiping between apps because that area within iOS is design that way. A solution would be to move the names a little higher and make them a little bigger too. This is frustrating and I sometimes end up just not using the app at all when it occurs..Hugo_MolinaVersion: 3.31

✓ Unknown Unclaimed AmountThere’s bug where an unknown unclaimed amount is added to a new bill. Update: we’ll duh on me! Now knowing some line items captured by OCR shouldn’t be included in the “menu”. Makes sense now. It took a few attempts to finally figure out how to tag line items to people properly. The only thing left to mention is if you include the tax in your splits, the the next page should be $0 for taxes. If you remove the tax line item and add the tax in the next page, then your tip amount is before taxes and you’ll have to manually split the taxes. Confused you yet? In the end, I’ve figured it out. Great app for large groups!.AlxvryVersion: 3.51

✓ Way too many steps for a simple billSo where the Plates app is too simple and constrained, Tab is far too complex for a simple bill. I have to first scan the receipt (which doesn’t always go well). Then I have to manually type each diner’s name. Then I have to enter each line item with both a price and a name (or correct the OCR from the picture). It’s like a full 5 minutes for a single lunch bill. Oh but wait, the stupid Tax line doesn’t work, so I have to record tax as a “second tip.” Then I can finally calculate what each person owed. It’s insane how many steps this is for a single meal. At this point, I might as well keep using the Excel spreadsheet I wrote with formulas for splitting tax and tip..KingdrockulaVersion: 3.103.0

✓ 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..IalexryanVersion: 3.01

✓ Sometimes useful but mostly garbageThe idea is great and functionality is good many times. The problems are many though. - You can't enter in more than 5 characters for someone's name. Seems like such a stupid limitation in a modern app - The bills OFTEN aren't parsed correctly requiring a lot of manual effort to correct each item, take a really long time to parse or on occasion simply error out - There's a really bad bug when you need to edit the name or amount of an item and instead of letting you put the cursor in the middle to fix 1 letter, it'll put the cursor at the end so you have to erase the whole title and retype it - You can't export the original receipt image or the final breakdown anywhere - The app needs full camera flash when taking pictures EVERY TIME - There's no way to breakdown amounts unevenly. For example if me and my buddy got beers but I got 4 and he got 1, we can't specify that in the app.DeanGFLVersion: 3.96.0

✓ Still Needed to Use A NapkinI 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..JaeBee981Version: 2.15
