NativeScript cross platform app that allows peers to share their bill.

NativeScript BillSplitter

The app uses the camera module to let you capture a photo of a bill. You can then mark some of the amounts in the bill and they get added in a list. OCR is used to convert the images into prices. The app also calculates the total amount of the selection.
