Tipify is a tip calculator application for iOS.
Submitted by: Ruth Shryock
Time spent: ~8 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.
- 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:
- Easy-to-use slider for the tip percentage
- Improved the UI with a custom color set which supports light and dark mode
- Created a custom logo on the launch screen and as an app icon
- Added a settings page to change the default tip percentage
- And implemented the ability to toggle dark and light mode
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:

This was my first time using Swift and developing an IOS mobile application. I struggled most with implementing the dark mode toggle in the settings page, but once I found some helpful documentation, I was able to successful implement this feature. Overall, I learned so much involving features in Swift from User Defaults to UI animations!
