ok, it worked for me --

are you holding the orange button and clicking on the app and selecting delete , then delete

then doing it again by

holding down the orange key and clicking on the app and selecting delete , then delete again

the whole process twice !!

It’s so weird because I hold the orange button select delete and delete again and repeat the process but its like on a loop it will keep going meaning I’ve hit delete whiling holding down the orange button and repeated the process several times. It goes away but pops right back up again. Do you know how to bring up the list of apps I’ve installed from homebrewed, not the apps already preloaded on the phone? Maybe I can find it the exact name of the file and then delete it from there…

I was wondering if on the next version we can enter our own tax rate (or add 8.75%?) Taxes in CA are now 8.75% (Orange County anyways), and the app only has 8.65% or 9%. But this is such an awesome app!

Another issue:

Cannot use the decimal button if the last prefix digit typed is a 0

Can use if its not a 0 fine

It looks like jwz beat you to proper decimal support, PreGame. His own 1.0.5 update includes a "Scrooge" decimal mode.

Ok i have updated the application to not require a decimal. you just enter the bill and it will add a decimal where needed.

Thanks for updating the app. there is one problem I have posted the screen-shot. the math is wrong... this is a problem that i am sure transferred over from the original app as i have tried both and they both did the same thing



The tax should be 1.38
and tip should be 4.60
Total should be 29.00

this actually happened to me in the restaurant and really confused me. luckily I figured it out ;-)

also why does it say status at the bottom?

Same problem.

Bill: 50.00
Tax: 4.00
Tip: 8.00
Total: 50.01 (??)

The update looks great and functions better by eliminating the need for entering a decimal point (kind of like at the ATM). Unfortuantely the math is still off by one cent on occasion. I assume this is because the app is adding un-rounded values, tallying the total, and then rounding all the values to the nearest cent for display. In the end, the sum of parts doesn't always equal the total (kind of like how the individual %'s in a graph don't always add up to 100% because of the rounding). This is not really a big deal, but if one is to use the incorrect calculations exactly on their bill, it may drive restaurants a bit buggy.

Also, the tax in Cuyahoga County (Cleveland Ohio) is 7.75%. If you add this and 6.75%, you will have the entire state of Ohio covered.

Thanks!

the application rounds to the nearest 10th place. I am guessing the math is 1 cent off sometimes when you are using a number of persons greater than 1? If so this is going to happen as not all numbers can be divided evenly. 5 divided by 2 is is not going to be even. Someone is going to have to pay that extra cent and the application cannot display it that way so it rounds up.
