PocketDiner for Android & iOS

Never Get Screwed at Lunch Again! The most powerful tip calculator in the Android Market! The innovative lunch time bill calculator on iOS comes to Android!

Before this entire mobile craze, we had released the original PocketDiner for the Pocket PC platform back in 2004!

What's the big deal? What's a dollar or two between friends sharing a meal? Pretty inconsequential if you ask me.

Coworkers, on the other hand are less scrupulous - the guy who always infuriates you by shorting the pot several bucks or the gal who orders a steak while you order a salad and insist the bill be split evenly.

The goal of PocketDiner is to allow you to calculate to the cent what each person owes - taking into account shared food, divided tax & tip according to what was ordered, or who's birthday it is - all while minimizing data entry.

It's much more than a tip calculator - it's a workplace lunchtime tool kit! We're constantly working on this app and adding new features to make sure PocketDiner is indispensable for workplace lunchtime shenanigans!

  • Shows COMPUTED costs for each diner - none of that drag-to-slide adjustment nonsense.
  • Add diners from your address book as an alternative to keying them in.
  • Adjustable tip/tax rates, as well as the ability to determine if tip is taxed or not.
  • Shared items can be split across everyone at the table
  • Birthday mode - for those pesky birthday or going away lunches where one person eats for free and subsequently throws everyone's math off! Birthday mode will figure out the tip/tax adjusted cost of the subjects meal and distribute it evenly to everyone else.
  • Default diners - if you're like us, 90% of your lunches are with the usual suspects. PocketDiner allows for default diners to be prepopulated everytime you run the app.

Blast From the Past

Back when smartphones were just figments of peoples imagination, we had developed the first and best tip calculator of it's kind for the PocketPC platform. For the thousands of you who had downloaded this back in 2004, this should bring back some memories:

About

We're just developers who are passionate about building great software! We started Talisman Mobile as a vehicle to produce mobile applications, bringing to fruition a vision that we have maintained since day one of the mobile revolution when the very first Windows CE device was released (anyone remember the casiopeia?). Our goal is to rethink how existing mobile applicatiosn work and engineer an alternative that we feel lends itself best to a touch-centric ever-connected mobile paradigm. We may be a bit late to the game, but rest assured we put a lot of thought and work into our products

Pocket Diner

Our flagship product, PocketDiner started life as a do-everything tip calculator that will eventually grow into an all-inclusive lunchtime utility for geeks that can't stand getting the short end of the bill when lunching with deadbeat coworkers. We are CONSTANTLY adding new features. If you have a suggestion, drop us an email and let us know.
