Bill-Splitting Apps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This App Helps You Settle a Restaurant Bill with a Simple Tap

— August 14, 2015 — Lifestyle
'Cover' is a new app that helps you split a restaurant bill simply by tapping your screen. When dining out with friends, dividing the check can be a frustrating and time-consuming experience. Cover makes it easier to pay for your meal without resorting to loose paper.

The app is free to download and allows you to settle your restaurant bill with Apple Pay or enrolled credit cards. When you go to a restaurant, the app will ask if you want to join other diners or start a tab on your own. The system will then forward your bill to your smartphone after you have finished your meal. Not only does the app make it easier to divide bills among friends, but it also calculates taxes and tips automatically.

For social foodies everywhere, this app provides a hassle-free way to dine with friends and family.
