Submitted by: Larry Urrego

Time spent: 10 hours spent in total

User Stories

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:

  • Dark Mode selector switch with custom color profiles.
  • Tip percentage slider to go beyond the 3 default tip percentages (available from 1% to 100%).
  • Settings screen.

Notes

Describe any challenges encountered while building the app.

This was my first time using Xcode and working with Swift, so there was a definite learning curve. Movement of data between View Controllers finally made sense after reading about segues. Overall, the accessibility of the storyboard view really made the process approachable, with the color design element just coming to me randomly in the middle of the project.
