I think it's curious that at the top of the page it says "requires iOS 5" and at the bottom it says "iOS 5 ready."

It's a beautiful landing page, but I'm not quite sure I understand the problem.. Is this to split tabs? Or to show the bartender, "Hey, I only ordered these drinks, don't charge me for more!" The latter doesn't sound like it'd go over well. Confused.

The use case is more for splitting tabs between large groups of people.

Also cross reference what the establishment is charging you vs what you actually had, you'd be surprised how many bars and places are willing to overcharge you once you've had a bit too many.

So when I'm at a bar and I order "2 Whiskey Sours, a Budweiser, an Amstel Light, a Heineken, a Sapphire Gimlet and a Knob Creek neat," and the bartender charges $50 (or whatever), do I stand there asking how much each one was?

Even if you ask, I've had cases where they just don't know (Everything gets entered into a computer, computer does some magic math to come out with your total)
