Tipsy

About the app

Tipsy is a tip calculator that is the first app I built on my own, and it’s the first app I put on the app store. I definitely met some challenges when building it, but I was able to push through with some good use of DuckDuckGo and Google, as well as some help from friends that were generous with their time and patience. It was a lot of fun making Tipsy. I gained experience with some of Apple’s cool frameworks and features.

  • Some CoreMotion
