TipCalculator is a tip calculator application for iOS.
Submitted by: Evan Tragesser
Time spent: 7 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.
The following optional features are implemented:
- [√] Settings page to change the default tip percentage.
- [√] UI animations (Night mode uses an animation for the transition, as well as the example animation I decided to leave in)
- 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 all three tip percentage values
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:

Describe any challenges encountered while building the app.
Dragging the touch listener to the bar above the view as was done in the video didn't pair it correctly. It had to be attached to the background specifically
Dark mode was very tedious, just listing all of the views to change their colors individually. Not sure if there is a better way to do this.
Alignment in the settings seems to be done through auto-layout which was turned off at the start of this example in the video. Hopefully this is easier after learning auto-layout.
