My first iPhone app just went up for sale on the App Store and I'd like to give some promo codes to HN readers.<p>It's a pretty simple utility app (a check splitter), but with a very straightforward interface that can handle quite complex cases.<p>Say you are in a party of 5, the bill is $120.45, and 2 people ordered wine, while 1 person skipped dessert. You are paying for yourself, your spouse, and your friend, and you had wine while your spouse and friend didn't. How much do you owe?<p>Without this app, it gets hairy very quickly. With this app you can quickly find out how much your share of the total bill is, including tip.<p>The app is called "Ultimate Check Split"<p>It would be great to get some feedback from you guys.<p>Promo codes:

Quick short Review:<p>* Great idea. This sort of app is extremely useful, especially for students at univs
* I'm not sure I like the app title at the top of the page. Its a low-res picture and doesn't look good on my iPhone 4.
I realize you're going for a skeuomorphic design with the UI, but I somehow feel the title feels "out of place". Can't really put my finger on it though.<p>* I find it a little confusing to enter total amount with tax and then enter the tax again. When I split with friends, I usually don't think too much about the tax.. Perhaps you could ask for the "amount to split" and leave the tax bit to the user?<p>* The two buttons at the bottom seem out of place, given the design of the rest of the app.<p>* This is more of a 'feature request' i guess, but it would be nice to have a history of transactions, with support for IOUs. Very often, one of us in my group won't have cash or be owed money or something of the sort, and an IOU gets in the way.<p>* Could you let the user email this to contacts? This way, all members in the group have a record of what happened.
