Tab, the app in question, is easy to use: simply take a photograph of your table's receipt with a smartphone. The app will itemise it and all you need to do is pass the phone round the table, with everyone claiming what they ate or drank. Simples.

“No more back-of-the-napkin algebra or typing in prices by hand!” says the app's site. Hurrah!

• Tax and tip are divided automatically
• For birthday parties - you can split the birthday gal/guy's total evenly among the rest of the diners

It is available to download at iTunes and Google Play.
