Plates by Splitwise for Positive User Reviews

Intuitive, simple yet effective. Highly recommendedExcellent for complicated bill splits (I.e. when there are lots of people, but 3/5 shared a bottle, and 2/5 is vegetarian so only had certain dishes, etc.)..Version: 1.2

Fantastic Free AppI always find it frustrating at the end of of dinner with my in-laws when people are trying to pay with a mix of cash and card and can’t do basic mental maths - myself included in the latter. My recommendation would be to download this now, practice and the amaze everyone at the table by how quickly you’ve worked this out. I wish they would add the feature to choose between whether you want people to proportionately tip or evenly tip - tipping culture is not as distinct in the UK. E.g. you choose on a sliding scale the 8% overall you want to tip, but then it works out 8% of everyone’s meal for them to add, rather than just diving the 8% overall between all diners. I’d love that as an option. A suggestion: If people still want to pay with a mixture of methods, they could just round up their contributions to make it easier and count that as extra towards the tip. Or one person paying by card could underpay, then quick online transfer the remaining amount to the person who overpaid by rounding up. Otherwise you’re getting dragged back into the mental maths and coins rattling round again!.Version: 1.3

Best app ever!!!Makes eating out with groups so convenient/easy. If i could give this 10 stars..I would. Only suggestion: some restaurants ask for bill and tip separately. After stacking plates, it would be good to have the total bill amount and tip amount separately..Version: 1.3

Great app - new feature requestThis app has come in so handy for dinners with friends. One feature I’d like to also see on it is the ability to enter a dollar amount as the tip instead of just percentages! Otherwise - great app..Version: 1.4

Wow! This is exactly what my group of friends need!Love how you can split the bill based on what people ordered, shared and the ability to combine bills in the end if certain people are paying together! Awesome! We will never be short money or overpaid again!.Version: 1.2

The best tip app! But needs update to iPhone XI love this app I use daily with friends for fun even though I don’t want to paid back. It’s easy to view what the total bill was and how much to tip. Must have for anyone who eats out frequently..Version: 1.3

App is greatThe app is great - it would be good if you could fine tune the percentage tip more than is currently possible (a lot of restaurants request an optional 12.5% service for example).Version: 1.3

Where has this app in all my life?A friend told me about it and I fell in love with it. It makes splitting bills so much easier at the restaurant especially when they won't split the bill for you. User and eye friendly. Love it!.Version: 1.3

AmazingFinally something to ease the pain of group payment / not meeting the total bill!!.Version: 1.0

Omg! I luv this app!This is definitely one of my fav apps! Very useful. Good for when going Dutch in a resto. A must-have!.Version: 1.1

Love showing this over dinnerWhen the bill comes and I'm out with my friends, this is my favorite thing to show off! Great design, simple to use, pretty helpful when you're sharing a bunch of dishes. Tapas anyone?! Thanks splitwise team! Great free app to use instead of the calculator if you get promoted as designated money handler at the table!.Version: 1.2

Where has this been all my life!!!This is the best!! And so user friendly!! I opened it up to play around and had no bugs or issues at all, it was simple and will make it so much easier than that awkward how do you want to split this up? Or we didn’t really have the apps or wine, but we can split the bill equally..... lol we’ve all been there I’m telling everyone about this magical little app! It’s AMAZING ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼.Version: 1.3

UI Not that Intuitive but it Works!For the next update, consider having the names visible on the main screen? Right now, when I rename "Person X", the name isn't visible. Having it visible like the word "You" would be helpful. Thanks..Version: 1.2

Math issueLove this app, but the math is wrong on the new "combine plates" feature— I tested it with 4 people, a $10 bill with $1 tax and 10% tip for a total of $12... I split evenly which correctly showed $3 each... But when I combined all plates the amount on the plates jumped to $15. (More info on the plates revealed the subtotal to be $13 when it should have been $10.) UPDATE: I found the error only occurs when you drag an already combined set of plates onto a single plate or another set. If you drag only single plates onto others, it adds up correctly. Thanks for the input!.Version: 1.2

The Best There Is✨Updated Review March 2020:This is still the best app for occasional get togethers in which the bill needs to be divided fairly. Splitwise's abandonment of this app is unfortunate but it still works. Perhaps Splitwise can sell it to another developer who sees the value of Plates. UPDATE: Still no update to this great app (May 2016). Fortunately it is still working fine. ----- This is a great app that works quickly and easily. If you have a group of 3 or more people this app assures that everyone pays their fair share (including tax & tip)... Quickly!! I do not understand why Splitwise has given it such short shift in terms of development. I actually like Plates more than Splitwise, because I use Plates more often. Anyway, you can't go wrong with Plates. It's a keeper..Version: 1.3

Great when you need itDon’t need this app often but it’s invaluable when I do. Lunch with 6 coworkers? Plates to the rescue. I wish it would leave results around for longer tho, so you can follow up with people who can’t pay right away. Also if it could export calculations to Notes or just as a text file..Version: 1.3

Love thisNo more drunken maths at the end of meals! But needs more than 10 people, upto 25 would be great..Version: 1.3

Need ability to input names on platesGreat app overall but becomes more difficult to use when I can't remember which plate is for which member in my large party. Not everyone sits in the same configuration as the plates show on the app. Would be SUPER helpful to be able to add names to the plates at the start..Version: 1.3

No more breaking your head with calculators.This app is amazing! Choose number of people, add the dishes and assign them to the person or group who ate it, add tip and send the bill by email or just tell them how much they owe. Some suggestions for the developer: adding dishes names, manually adding tips in the amount rather than percentage and the option of saving..Version: 1.3

What a great idea and handed to youWorks like hot chicken on my plate in the morning! As I rush out using this amazing app! Chicken nuggets!!!!.Version: 1.2

Love itI love this app. My friends and I use it every time we go out to dinner. My only recommendation would be to have a way to add in restaurant mandates (in some SF restaurants a percentage is added to the bill to cover wait staff insurance, etc). As it stands now we have to add this in as an entree that is slit by everyone (which technically isn't accurate and then you end up tipping on it)..Version: 1.2

Need revised tip featureThis app is easy to use and does what it needs to do but it would be nice to have the option to choose between a $ amount of tip and percentage rather than default percentage. I usually like to round up/down on my tips for an even dollar amount but I can’t do that here..Version: 1.3

Genius AppThere can always be improvement to things (someone mentioned being able to add names to the other plates to remember what item goes where which would definitely be neat) but as a whole this is probably one of the best things to happen for group dining. I’ll definitely be using this for future outings when everyone else starts pulling out their calculators. Can’t wait to see if it develops any further!.Version: 1.4

Works like a charmHad been meaning to get an app that deals with sorting out the bill after eating out with friends for a while now, and after doing a bit of searching around I settled on this one. Well, honestly, it made the whole process of splitting the bill a pleasure! And instead of taking about 10 mins (at least) and plenty of discussion / arguments it was all sorted out in 1 to 2 mins with no complaints from anybody. Result! Takes no time at all to learn and it’s very straightforward to use. Sure, there’s a couple of suggestions for improvement - it would be nice to be able to label each item on the bill (e.g. ‘lasagne’ instead of ‘item 4’), especially when checking larger bills with more people attending and there’s an argument for being able to split items unevenly (“I only had one glass of that wine. You had three glasses!”) but I’m being picky here. The beauty of this app is in its simplicity and its ease of use. At the end of a meal, people just want to sort the bill out quickly and move on. This app lets you do that. Highly recommended..Version: 1.2

Smart AppThis is smart, takes second guessing out of splitting the bill. Would love to see it integrated into Splitwise App. Would also like features like: 1. Being able to click plate and text to someone in your contacts. 2. And/or able to send them a Venmo/Cash App request. 3. Ability to take photo of receipt, it reads items that can then be added to the plates..Version: 1.2

Great app, a few tweaks needed to make it excellentAwesome app that is very easy to use, have used it quite a lot but have the following suggestions: - user should be able to ‘name’ the plates rather than just using the colour scheme (maybe even if you can just add initials for each diner). - ability to enter the tip amount rather than only being able to calculate the tip using the sliding scale function (e.g. this would work well if a round number is entered as the tip on the bill) Hope this helps and look forward to seeing some updates. Thanks!.Version: 1.3

Almost perfect - why can’t we directly type in tip?Such a good app. But it’s insane you can’t directly enter the tip amount. People rarely do exactly 18%. And even if you decide to use the app first to determine your tip, and just do exactly 18%, the app doesn’t tell you how much that is! So you have to then calculate it in a separate app. Pretty silly. Also, name plates! Come on.Version: 1.3

Feature neededThe app is rly good but Please add a discount option too..Version: 1.3

Why I'm no longer afraid of the billI instantly became the most well-liked person at the end of dinner when we had failed to asked for separate checks, forced to trade cards, remember who shared what with who, who owes what if they didn't drink. The app made all calculations possible under 1 minute, and left us with a lot more time to explore the city instead of waiting for whoever had the most mathy/engineering sounding career to calculate the final bill..Version: 1.2

Great App - Well Designed and Extremely UsefulI’m an iOS app developer, and from my perspective this is a very well executed app. Great user interface that is easily understood right out of the box. I’m certain improvements will come fast to address any issues, but It’s a great app right now that will only get better!.Version: 1.2

Nifty and simple to useTest runs of this app show it will be a great help at the end of a long lunch...providing we are still able to punch in the numbers...in settling the tab. Thanks!.Version: 1.3

Quick and easyDid I mention simple. Great user interface - does exactly what it says and is very intuitive..Version: 0.1

Amazing!!Amazing app, so easy to use. Love going out with friends, hate the hassle of splitting the bill. I had another app, slightly more complicated so people would get impatient & start doing their own thing. THIS APP IS SO EASY TO USE & so fast to use! Love it..Version: 1.0

Great updateThe inclusion of non-US currency and % tip slider is a great update..Version: 1.0.1

Simplicity at its bestHonestly this app is more than just useful. It's actually fun to use do to its gorgeous user interface. Moreover, everything is intuitive which makes you feel at ease with the app! Awesome work!.Version: 1.2

AwesomeSimple, beautiful and functional!.Version: 1.2

Missing manual tip entryExcellent app and does what it says! Saves a lot of time. I would like to recommend a way to manually enter in the tip? It’s mainly because you have to adjust it using a bar slider without a way to manually enter a specific value for the tip. Otherwise, perfect app!.Version: 1.4

A must have APP for allThis app is perfect for those evenings out where you know one person will order one more of everything compared to everyone else. It is super user friendly, has the ability to allocate dishes to each person and has running totals per plate so everyone knows how much their bill is. It even allows one person to then pay for another plate, or split the rest of the check between only a few plates. It's well thought out and couldn't recommend it enough as an essential tool, as everyone has one of those friends!!.Version: 1.2

One of my favorite appsI’m the type of person who needs to know how much each person owes, to the cent. Plates makes this really easy. I’ve shown the app to several friends, and they all love it too. My only request is to be able to export results to Splitwise, but even without this feature, this app rocks..Version: 1.3

So Easy!Such a nice, simple little app. It's so easy to use and the interface is awesome..Version: 1.1

Perfect for complicated splitting...and it does the easy stuff, too! My friend can eat with my family and it carves out her portion to the penny. In a large party, three people can share an appetizer. Two others can share a dinner. Half the table can share one bottle of wine and the other half another bottle of wine! It adds tax on appropriately at the end, and each person may leave whatever percentage gratuity s/he wishes, as the app will figure that individually as well. I couldn't ask for more. It's intuitive, extremely user friendly. Excellent work. Period..Version: 1.2

Great appSimple, quick, USEFUL!!! Suggested enhancements: - allow the user to override the calculated tip amount by entering the actual tip paid -- often people will round-up a bill this way; then Plates could divide this tip amount proportionally amongst the people; - option to identify each person by their name or initials; - option to calculate tip before or after tax (I always use pretax amount, so that could be the default choice!); - option to split a dish percentage-wise, for example 60/40 or 30/30/40 ...; - option to select more descriptive label for each item, from a list of standard descriptions such as: starter, soup, salad, appetizer, beverage, sandwich, burger, fries, side dish, main, beef, chicken, pork, lamb, fish, veg, other main, dessert, cake, pie, cookies, icecream, other dessert... - when the final total results in an odd number, for example $101.87, allow user to override that with a round number such as $102.00, and the app could then automatically proportionately add the difference (in this case, split 13 cents) to each person, OR, the app could suggest a nearest total that would result in round figures for each person. Handy if they're paying with cash!! - Always show the calculated grand total at the top or bottom of left-hand screen. These are meant to be constructive suggestions. It's a well designed app as is!! Thanks!.Version: 1.2

Really good!Great app! Simple and easy to use! Would like to be able to add names for each plate and also have the option for tips being included in the bill before splitting.Version: 1.2

This was beautifully createdSo grateful for this: simple to use and they thought of everything I, anyway, could want in such an app. I haven’t used it for real yet, but I’ve tried out a few scenarios with it, and it works so well. I love too that it figures the tip without tipping the tax..Version: 1.3

Add names before/custom plate locationsI love Plates! And Splitwise as well! It would be awesome if you could rearrange plates to visually match the table you're sitting at in an easy manner, but also if the app could accommodate tons of people too (greater than the limit cap). Also, you should be able to manually add names beforehand, not afterword via the contact section. Also, if there was Venmo/PayPal integration like Splitwise, this would be a killer dinner calculation app! Awesome work though, loving it so far. I'll definitely change the review to 5 stars if at least one of these minor issues are addressed!.Version: 1.2

Love it & highly recommend itEvery time I pull out plates after a dinner, I end up convincing everyone with me to download the app. It's super easy to use and splits things accurately. My only wish: you could manually enter in how much tip you're adding, instead of the sliding scale..Version: 1.2

ExcellentDo very well what it is suppose to do. Can hardly be simpler, easier. In splitting the bill, can take care of every situation. Equal share, partial share, items not shared, etc. Well done..Version: 1.2

FabulousGreat app! My go to when going out to dinner with friends. Only thing is I wish you could put each persons name on their plate, as when there are 10 of you it’s gets confusing to remember who sit where. They should add a feature where you can type in each persons name above their plate to fix this issue..Version: 1.4

The best bill splitting appI've tried ten apps for splitting bills and tips accurately and finally found this one. You shared only the appetizer but not the dessert? Then only count yourself in splitting the part of appetizer. It also calculates the tips proportionately to the amount your share in the bill. No need to concern if anyone pay more or less than they supposed to. No longer a pain to split the bill after dining..Version: 1.2

Absolutely Fantastic!I didn't even know a bill splitting app could be this amazing!!! Good looking, well built, great UI, and useful features that don't get in your way unless you need them..Version: 1.2

GodsendThis app has literally changed my restaurant-dining life. I used to be one of those clumsy, confused souls that sat staring at the receipt while desperately trying to figure out the proportion of tax in addition to tip for everyone WHILE ALSO trying to figure out how to physically pay because everyone has different variations in preference for card, cash, or Venmo. This at least cuts down the math time and that is HUGE to hold people accountable for their totals fast! If only the U.S. factored tax and tip into the price of the food already like some other countries... :( But THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THIS APP! <3.Version: 1.3

Very usefulClean, simple and very useful..Version: 1.0.1

Fun and usefulMy friends and I enjoy using Plates after lunch but it seems to have been broken by iOS 16. The “people shared this item” button doesn’t work, amongst others..Version: 1.4

Still need to improvePlease make it up to 18 people..Version: 1.3

Incredibly useful and free??!Thank you, developers and marketing people..this has to be one of the most useful apps I have on my phone. Simple, quick, easy..and just all around perfect! Don’t screw it up haha keep it just the same!!.Version: 1.3

DeceFoooooood.Version: 1.1

Great solution to a common social puzzleGreat app! I like that it's stand alone to SplitWise as there are always times when you are dining and there are people you're not familiar/friends with. Great user interface and walk through. Covers all the bases even down to combining dishes at the last second for couples in a party..Version: 1.2

Bug fixes for a Good AppBug Fix: after combining plates, and pressing the share button, the original plate will be displayed next to the combined plate, and allow the user to allocate different names to the plates. Feature enhancement: allow the calculator costs from the Plates to be transferred to Splitwise contacts..Version: 1.2

Love this app but please up the number of platesThis app has saved my group outings time and time again. It’s so easy to use, even for those of us who aren’t mathematically inclined. But please up the number of plates available. 10 is good usually but it’s not enough. Sometimes I’ve been out with a dozen+ people and am in a bit of a bind trying to figure out how to best use the app with more than 10 people..Version: 1.4

Needs to add a crucial FeatureThe App is quite handy and does almost everything you need… But the fact that you cannot enter a specific tip amount (the app has a slider that allows you to change the tip percentage but it will not allow you to enter a specific tip amount) Makes the totals off (by small amounts) often. The developers should really address this.Version: 1.4

Awesome simplicityDoes everything you thought you needed it too, and then thinks of so much more you didn't even know you needed! Perfect!.Version: 1.2

Thrilled! (Needs Update Please!!!)Love this app! Hopefully it will help avoid the uncomfortable "Let's just split the bill evenly" when all I had was a salad and soda while the rest of you went to town with a Filet Mignon and House Wine. Please update the app!!! Everything works great up until you get to sharing the totals by either text or email. The buttons off the screen on the iPhone 6 Plus. Otherwise great. A cheap work around has been to screenshot the screen and text that instead. Not elegant but still, Update PLEASE!!!.Version: 1.2

Awesome, but fix the share feature please!This app is a godsend when trying to figure out a complicated shared bill. Unfortunately it's share feature which allows you to show the calculations isn't functional. Please fix this for a five star review..Version: 1.2

Very useful appLove the app. Simple to use. Only 4 things missing: 1) option to name the plates. 2) option to remove the dialog to enter tax each time you use it (in Europe prices are tax/VAT included). 3) option to save each calculation for future checks 4) option to multiply the same item and divide it unequally (4x10€ and divide it to 3 persons like 2, 1, 1).Version: 1.2

Great app, usefulOne complaint though, it can’t do 0.5% increments on the tip. 12.5% is a standard tip in some UK restaurants, this means the tip has to be added to the total and split evenly. Otherwise great though, really needed this.Version: 1.3

Very usefulThe app is easy to use and very useful. The only thing that would be handy would be if it supported half percentage tip amounts. 12.5% is common in the UK..Version: 1.2

The best tip calc/bill splitterTried a ton, but this has nearly every feature you need. Includes number of people, tax, ability to separate single items between multiple people, combining tabs at the end. Really good UI and can't beat e price. No IAP!.Version: 1.2

Almost PerfectThank you! It's useful and user friendly. Would like to suggest the following: 1. Having the option to select $ or % amounts when prompted for the tax portion. Primarily because I cannot calculate that $6 + 13% tax is $6.78 right off the bat. 2. Having the option to tip before or after tax. If these factors can be incorporated, then I will hail you as GODS!!!.Version: 1.2

Very easy to use and efficient!I use it all the time going out with friends to help simplify splitting the bill equally. It's very easy to use and your friends will love you for it!.Version: 1.2

Great app but please update so buttons stay on screenSo convenient and easy! I love this app but I wish there could be an update so when you hit the "share" button the buttons align to the iPhone screen!.Version: 1.2

Impressive FeaturesI was looking for an app that calculates tips and splits the tax too. It’s a hard to find a split check app that does this. Not only that, but I can also individually add food items. This does just that and the only one I could find that does it! So convenient..Version: 1.4

Seriously amazing!!!!The visuals are incredible, it works like a charm no lag just purely well designed piece of software!!!!! Oh and it's free hahaha.Version: 1.2

Game changerFantastic app. Great and use friendly interface. I've used this app several times, however two items to consider for fixes: 1. I’m constantly having to edit the text size otherwise the size is too large in landscape mode. 2. Add option to put in dollar amount for tips versus just percentage..Version: 1.2

Love it, but let me Name the PlatesMy friends and I love this app it has made going to eat so much easier when the bill comes!! However, sometimes friends start milling around when the bill comes and it’d be great to have an option tick off from a list of friends who i regularly dine with that are there, and have it show above their plates just the way mine shows “YOU”; then I can easily see their names and assign the right amounts to them, rather than try to count plates and keep them straight, which can get hard when there are 10 people involved..Version: 1.3

Good appThis has come in handy! The only thing is I went to a dinner with 11 people and we had to do the bill manually by hand. Allow up to 20 plates align them along the top or something. Optionally colour the plates. Let us use names four plates.then let us use groups. I.e work group contains a set of names. Friends a set of names..Version: 1.3

Good appGreat app but please add the option to customise tip given 12.5% is standard here in the UK and the ability to move plates around / assign names to the plates..Version: 1.3

Fantastic appEasy to use, beautiful design, and makes life so much easier!.Version: 1.0

Love the app.Love this app. There are a couple of things I would love to see this app add. 1. Be able to name the plates 2. Be able to scan the ticket and have each item on the ticket listed separately … then you could just drag each item to the plate it belongs to..Version: 1.4

Right for my generationFantastic. There isn't anything more to say. Well done to the developers..Version: 1.2

Great tool, has limitationsI love using this for group dining. It makes splitting the bill so much easier. I wish I could assign the plate names to keep track of who is who. It’s also only ideal with a max of 5 people. Anything over that gets overly complicated and confusing to keep track of..Version: 1.4

Great except for a few missing featuresReally like this app, and love using it. I wish it allowed 2 things: (a) an export to splitwise function, so I could send the final meal cost distribution to splitwise when the tab is (as if so often is) part of a larger set of group expenses, and (b) an option to specify the tip amount by $ rather than by percentage, and/or an option to specify the total paid including tip and letting the app recognize that the amount over the total due was the tip..Version: 1.3
