Tip Feature Tweaks

Blair Willis Mar 04

I've got to start by saying, if you didn't update Swipe for another 6 months I'd still be happy.  The 3.5 update brought the only "must-have" feature on my request list, so everything else is just a bonus!  However, I won't hold back on ideas and challenges to test your Ninja Skills... 

If I may, please consider the following feedback on the new Tip feature:

The +/- buttons are dangerously close to the "Done" button.  We don't want someone to start ticking up that tip value then get sidetracked by accidentally hitting "Done."   A little more space between the Tip +/- and the "Done" button would be good... maybe make the "Done" button narrower, like a square?

I'd thought about switching the placement of the Tip  and the Total.  This would solve the "Done" conflict, however I don't think it's a good idea.  I think most people (right handers) use a right hand thumb or finger, and this would obscure the total as they're making the adjustment.  Plus, having the +/- near the "Done" really draws attention to it.

I do realize the +/- clickable area extends well to the left of the +/- buttons and over the % area... that's good.  But perhaps take it a step further to graphically indicate that, or even move things around a bit.

I think you could shorten the height of the signature panel a bit if you needed more space for the tip mechanism.  The extended width (obtained in the new landscape orientation) was crucially needed... the height I don't think is as essential.

In the settings screen, the function for "Tips Start At %" is a great idea.  Everyone should check it out, and then follow the "Rate us in the AppStore" link under it and give the Ninjas 5 Stars!

Right on Blair, thanks for the feedback. 3.6 is out in the app store now - while I did not move the tip bar, I did make the +/- buttons bigger and separated. I think moving it so there is more space is a good idea for a future release. If they ever click done before being done, you can always click Signature again to bring back the panel and allow them to resign. But you're right that we don't want that to happen in the first place.

Thanks again for all the great feedback - customers like you keep us developing!
