Travel tipping with Piper

Well done for the 83 countries it has but missing key travel hubs like the UAE (Dubai). In fact, the entire Middle East is absent along with Africa. Let’s hope it’s a work in progress.

Having travelled to over a dozen countries and spoken to both expats and locals alike I find the guidelines listed by this app to be a decent reference point but not 100% accurate. Tipping is a hot topic even in the States and by no means is there a set standard for it. For example, I was taught to always tip a dollar or two for the cleaning maids at hotels (leave tip on bed or nightstand) but that is excluded by this app.

As someone who has traveled the world and (probably) offended many people by my too large or too small tips, this app is something I wish I had had a decade ago. The free countries are great, but the in app purchases are well priced as well. This is a 'must have' app for anyone who is leaving their home country.
