Time spent: 1.5 hours spent in total

User Stories

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!

Notes

Describe any challenges encountered while building the app.

After building, the total amount was not showing corectly. To fix this, I adjusted the width of the labels. I also attempted to add a tip split feature but I encountered some problems that caused my overall app to malfunction so I dropped the add-on. I will continue to work on this and provide an updated version soon.
