tips is a tip calculator application for iOS.
Submitted by: Andrei Gurau
Time spent: 6 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.
- Settings page to change the default tip percentage.
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:
- Ability to change background color.
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:

Describe any challenges encountered while building the app.
I initially was unsure what the default tip was supposed to be. I thought it was supposed to be like a user input for the tip amount so that the three tip buttons on the initial page were based off of these values. I also tried to do this with prepareForSegue(), but once I realized it was based off of NSUserDefaults, I might be able to implement this now.
Also, this is my first real project with github. Please let me know if something if wrong. I'm not sure if I did the .gitignore correctly and I feel like it might make my program not run.
