Grayshott eGuide web app - saving to home page

The web app looks at its best if it has the full screen available, rather than sharing it with all of the furniture of the device's browser.

On iPhone or iPad , the procedure is very simple.  Find the action button (arrow out of the top of the box on iOS 7 and later) and then Add to Home Screen.

This will now make an icon on the next available spot on your home screen(s).  But if you're doing this on an iPhone or iPad, why not download the native app? 

The following series of pictures shows an Android emulator and at least gets the bookmark onto the home screen.  It doesn't clear all the browser furniture when the icon is clicked, so I'd welcome feedback on how to achieve that.  Please e-mail here with subject: Android.

From the initial browser page, use the menu (top right) to find Save To Bookmarks.  Then to save to the home page, in the Bookmarks menu, hold down the Grayshott iconand select Add shortcut to home page.

Dinner Divider is a calculator utility app to simplify the sharing of a bill (US: 'check') between those present.  When there's a kitty collected beforehand, or sponsorship money, or a voucher, it can become quite difficult to work out a fair share including a decent tip (gratuity) for the hosts, particularly when people are in a hurry to move on to the next place or their waiting taxi.

The app calculates the amount to pay depending on one of three things: the percentage for the tip, the actual amount of the tip, or the amount per head to be paid. 

This is designed to be useful for colleagues, teams, clubs, groups of friends, or anyone else that needs to share the expense of a social or business occasion.

There are two versions:

• Free - with advertising support - currently optimised for iOS 5.0
• Paid - the lowest App Store pricing level, ad-free - tested with iOS 7.0

The free version went on the App Store on 12 September 2013, and the paid version was submitted on 10 October.  An update for iOS 7.0 is being prepared for the free version.
