OK. Here we go for this one. lol.
The app is working well.
Obviously we all like the dynamic updating as values are inputted.
I like the detailed email breakdown to send to yourself to reconcile later.
I also like the ability to change themes.
My suggestions:
1) The font sizing needs to be adjusted for the cells. The numerical values do not consistently show when the value is past the tens position as they do in your screen shot. They only fully show when the cell is highlighted. For example..
For the ones & tens position the whole value shows ($1.00 or $10.00)
For the hundreds position or thousands positions all does not show. If I input $100.00 or $1000.00 it is cut off like this.. ($00.00 and $00.00)
The numeric values do show when the cell is highlighted though, just not when the cursor is moved away.
***I think this ca be fixed by making the center title bars a bit shorter, but you are the expert.***
2) The same can be said for total, per person total, and per person food & drink total, except there is no way to highlight those areas to see the full numeric values. These numbers are cut off at the end of the value rather than the beginning of the value.
3) The tax & tip cell values disapear when the cell is highlighted. Not sure why, or if this is intentional, but IMO, I would like to see the value remain when highlighted.
4) The arrow which shows what cell position you are in only shows on the right hand side, and not the left. It would be good if it showed on both sides of the title bars where the cursor actually is.
5) If the numerical values are set and the totals are already tallied, if you change themes, all information is erased, and you must start again. I think the data should carry over to the next theme chosen. Also, I believe the tax & tip values should be persistent, and remain until the user makes a change. Even after the app is closed & re-opened again. These values would not probably be changed too often unless traveling (or dining at a terrible place), and should be persistent at startup of the app. It can always be edited if neccessary when a situation may arise.
5) Although I like the ability to change themes, but TBH, I would like to see a 3rd theme, all black & grey dark theme with white or red lettering. This is more in touch with the newer applications out now, and would match device themes a bit better. eg. Blaq, BerryWeather, UberTwitter, BerryBuzz, BerryReader etc.
6) I have not seen a way to round up/round down the values. Can you explain to me how, please?
I was thinking of a way to pre-populate the names of co-workers in the email for reconciliation, but after thinking about it, the email itself can be edited to place names in. I see no reason to bulk up the app with that function.
I will try to add some screenshots from my device.
EDIT: Email Screenshot is the best screenie application out there. It made adding these a breeze!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks,

This is hot! It's as if you just went down the line and added everything you possibly could from the suggestions. I can't complain at all. From the tax values not disapearing, the retention of the tax value after closing, the enlargement of the value cells, and even the positioning arrows working on both sides.
Amazingly receptive.
Thanks for listening
