## Description

Tab is the simple way to split a bill amongst friends. Snap a pic of the receipt and tap your items to claim them. Tax and tip are calculated for you, with real-time syncing across everyone's devices.

Choose who ordered what, allow shared items, and let Tab divide costs automatically. Birthday splits, itemized summaries, and easy sharing help groups settle up fast. Tab has been featured on the Today Show, BuzzFeed's apps of the year lists, CNN, Product Hunt, and more.

## Review summary

Users praise Tab for effortless group bill splitting, a clean interface, and useful features like receipt scanning with a manual edit option. It’s free and doesn’t require everyone to have an account, with convenient per-item sharing and flexible splits. However, repeated concerns focus on unreliable OCR and missing items, mandatory or awkward tip calculations, limited or broken tax handling, buggy payment integrations, and some UX quirks such as automatic bill deletion and navigation issues.

### Pros

- Great for groups and simple bill splitting.
- Receipt OCR scans receipts and auto-populates items with an editor for manual adjustments.
- No account needed; shareable code or pass-around for item tagging.
- Free to use; simple and efficient.
- Flexible item-level splitting (multiple people per item; can divide items into 3/4/5 shares; birthday feature).

### Cons

- OCR/scanning is unreliable: items can be missed or misread and often requires multiple scans or manual input.
- Automatic tip calculations are mandatory or frustrating and not all expenses should be tipped.
- Tax handling is weak: no reliable manual tax entry and tax button can be broken.
- Payment integrations are buggy or limited (Venmo integration issues; bank connections missing).
- Some UX/persistence issues such as auto-deleting bills after a couple weeks and non-intuitive navigation.
