TipTracker - track your income Reviews

by Djdir Dos

I used TipTracker in 2018 specifically to keep track of tips so that I knew what to report on my taxes. However, once we were into 2019, there was no way for me to go back and get the 2018 data. When I selected TipTracker , it was because I could supposedly view the data “by year”. However, that is totally incorrect. You can view all the data in the CURRENT year. Tracking “by year” implies that you can track data over multiple years. Trying to pull the data to do my taxes yesterday, I discovered that there’s no way to go back to 2018. I cannot view it at all - it is totally gone. All my time spent carefully tracking my tips was a complete waste. If there is a way to view the previous year’s data, it isn’t obvious. I can’t even get to settings without approving an in-app purchase, so I don’t even know what settings I can change. I’m not paying for something unless I know it’s going to resolve my problem. I’m so disappointed that my time and effort was wasted on this. If I ever end up working another job that includes tips, I’ll just keep a ledger. It’s low-tech, but at least I know I won’t be disappointed.

I appreciate that you tried to add a new feature to improve the user experience of your app. Thank you for taking the time to do that.
In the new update there is no option to just put in the calculated hours and when I tried to put in my start and end times I kept getting an error message that they were formatted wrong. I tried civilian time using the am/pm buttons and military time. Neither worked. Once I was in the screen to input information I wasn’t able to back out of it.
Please go back to the drawing board, you’re almost there!

I like TipTracker as it is simple, but it bothers me once I input for the day, I can’t click on the calendar for that day, and see what I made. I have to navigate through TipTracker ..and even then it’s hard to see what I made for just that day without clicking 4 different buttons to find it. Just needs some tweaking.

I really enjoy using TipTracker however it makes it a little hard to calculate since there is no way to calculate your tax withholdings .. unless your working off the books (under the table) this really won’t accurately let you know how much your making in total

I love that you are able to separate jobs. this feature works really well for me as I actually have 2 jobs I do like to keep my funds separately for the most part however I do wish that there was a feature that can show you your earnings as a whole.. ( I guess I can just add the two up) it’s not too much of a problem

Overall I love the concept,

Definitely much better than my previous system of logging my hours/tips on random scraps of paper!
I really like the feature that breaks down your income and shows you over time what your average hourly is on different days of the week.
The two things I would add would be:
a way to easily log overtime.. right now I’m just manually calculating my overtime and adding it to my tips since my tips go on my check and get taxed like my hourly but would be super annoying for cash tips.
Which brings me to my second suggestion.. a way to calculate taxes & withholdings and suggestions for how much to claim/set aside for taxes for cash tips.
Still very helpful, thanks!

Other trackers I used would allow me to separate cash and card, but only show me the cash totals. I love that this one shows me cash and credit separately, as well as hourly and weekly overall totals. Much easier to keep track of every detail.

The only suggestion I would like to see is to add Pay periods to the overview area, to make it a little more seamless for people like me, paid bi weekly, but not the usual pay period days format.

Works great for what I need which is to track my tips and hours. I was using pen and paper for a couple years before I realized there’s probably an app for that! So far I really like TipTracker because it’s streamlined and simple to use and provides different ways to view my tips and wages. I also like that I didn’t have to create an account but I’d be able to backup my data as necessary. I’ll probably pay to access more of the features but the free version provides a lot already.

What I’d love to see is a calendar view like some of the other apps. I liked tracking on paper (I used a calendar style) because I could see the whole month at once and how I was trending on specific days or I’d be able to easily refer back to the same time last year to compare how much I was making.

Great app overall. I plan to continue to use this one.

As a hairstylist, I know my commissioned sales for the day. To input on TipTracker, I need to enter an hourly rate (not too difficult, daily income/ hours) which then calculates my daily income, which was the number I started with originally. It would be nice to have a toggle switch to change from “hourly rate” to “daily income” (or similar). Otherwise, amazing! I am more accountable! I will recommend to my coworkers!

Overall TipTracker works great it’s quick and calculates lots of helpful information about tips/ wage. I do have one small issue with it, once you put information in for a day you can’t edit or change it for any mistakes. It auto fills the amount of time so when I plugged in my tips I forgot to change it and the math got skewed. Can you please add a way to edit information for a day once already posted so information that’s wrong won’t ruin the entire chart? For example editing the wage, hours and tips for previous days.

I just downloaded TipTracker, and it seems great so far! It has all the features I’m looking for. Unfortunately, every time I try to input both credit card tips and cash tips in the advanced view, TipTracker crashes and I have to start over. The only way I can get around this is by putting total tips in the cash section in the basic view, which almost defeats the purpose for me of using TipTracker . Would be perfect if this were fixed!

by Mole1357

Very intuitive, visually pleasing, and as someone who works multiple jobs I love the statistical comparison- both numerically and visually.

My only note would be (this may be particular to me): I don’t exactly get an hourly wage- X for a single shift and 2X for a double. I would really appreciate an update that would allow me to enter my wages as shift pay divided by hours to determine my hourly wage (before tips) rather than hourly wage x hours to determine shift pay.

by Pippylove

This is a pretty awesome app. I love that I can track my Credit card tips separate from my cash tip. Being to also be able to track my house has given TipTracker a huge advantage. If I could suggest anything additional to add is to possibly have a calendar view of earnings per day for the current month. That way when I go to TipTracker and look at the current month I can quickly see what I made rather then only having the option to see it weekly, monthly, or yearly. I know that I can clock on the individual days to see the total but a quick view would be better and mor convenient. Thanks again!

I work in service industry, this is no doubt a helpful and fun way of seeing what I’m bringing in, and when everything is in front of you it’s motivating to try and build more

by Greenqueen15

I have downloaded many tip tracker apps to compare. By far, this one is the easiest and fastest to use. I also like that it has the graphs and shows what I made on average for the day. I use TipTracker mostly everyday. It has made it so much easier than calculating it the old fashioned way.

by Super Caddie

I’ve really enjoyed TipTracker. Super easy to input my tips and any notes for the day. I am not a server but work as a caddie and have not found any other tip tracking app that works as well as this one for what I looking by to track. I would give TipTracker 5 stars easily but there are a couple things that I think need to be tweaked.
- When looking at the week, it allows to look back at the previous 7 days, not the an actual Sun-Sat. I think it would be extremely useful if under some sort of settings I could choose a custom beginning and end of the week. For instance, my pay periods are weird, Thur-Wed.
- Sometimes I work multiple shifts in one day. At the moment, I’m unable to track those shifts individually since they are the same day. Would be nice to be able to separate those two shifts to track hours and tips individually on the same day.
- Lastly, TipTracker is not allowing me to add additional jobs. Currently, I can only track one job even though there is a way to add others jobs, for some reason it doesn’t work (the only bug/glitch). I work a couple of side jobs and would love to track them on TipTracker as well.

by @Alexjandrio

I just started using this and I’ve been in the industry for over 10 years! Love it but I wish it helped you calculate the tip percentage for you so I don’t have to manually do it on my own. Other than that, TipTracker is perfect. Super user friendly and I like that you can edit the time checks.

by You Have To Claim A Nickname?

App is awesome, I love everything about it except that I can’t seem to figure out how to delete a day. I was scheduled to work a shift so I input the information for it and plopped a 0 in for tips, so I could go back to it after work. But I ended up with the night off so I have nothing to input there. But now it’s a big downward spike to 0 in my monthly graph :( and I can’t find any email or help in a menu or settings anywhere lol!

I am a waiter and I use TipTracker to track my earnings. It’s a very clean and smooth interface and it makes keeping track of things really easy. I have noticed however that if you want to go in and edit data from a previous days work, TipTracker will crash after all the data is entered. Not sure if it’s a bug or what, but that is the only thing that needs to be fixed.

by SSMorse

I definitely enjoy TipTracker, however, it would be amazing and BENEFICIAL to have a tip out section!!!
My job has servers tip out the host and bar based on 2% of our food/alcohol sales. Since it is OUR money we are tipping out, it would be extremely helpful if all of that data could be entered and shown in the weekly/monthly/yearly logs and charts!! I can add that info in the notes but there isn’t a way of knowing how much it is without going back and looking at every note I’ve entered and calculating individually. It takes entirely too long to go back and do that at tax time 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Please look at adding this in ASAP!!

THANK YOU! 😊

by Pwnillyzer

Now that there’s the option to add multiple shifts in one day. There also needs to be the option to edit existing shifts that you have already entered. Because I accidentally added the wrong amount on a shift and now I have double shifts.

Other than that, this is the best tip tracking app that I have found! Excellent work! 👍👍

by MommaofAjay

I am enjoying using your app but I think everyone would benefit some from having the days of the week shown on the details summary page. Nothing too drastic - just have Sept 4, 2018 (Tu). Just to let us know which day of the week we are looking at. Thanks

by Maksizeus

I recently got a new phone and my data didn’t save from one device to the next. Would be nice if you can have your info attached to an email address.
