### 4/5 — Can not purchase pro

*2026-07-30, version 3.15*

Can not purchase pro. Fails in app purchases. Also no trial

**Developer response:** Hello, please contact support through the app menu. There may be network issues.

### 4/5 — Помогите пожалуйста

*2026-06-14, version 3.15*

Здравствуйте я не понимаю как работает это приложение потому что написано что тут ну как бы что это приложение меняет цвет виджетов я почему-то не могу поменять цвет виджетов я могу только табать

### 4/5 — ロック画面利用してます

*2025-12-11, version 3.14*

ロック画面で使えて便利ですが、カウントアップ操作にはロック解除が必要です。私はロック画面利用でパチスロでそんなに出現頻度の高くないスイカ🍉を数えましたが、その用途には十分に満足してます!

### 5/5 — Неполадки

*2025-05-01, version 3.10*

После обновления виджет перестал работать.. На экране блокировки не высвечивается. На главном экране виджет показывает 0, а при входе в приложение показывает уже цифру , которую фиксировала нажатиями на +. Скорее, какие-то неполадки.. Надеюсь, что разработчики исправят. Это приложение очень помогает в моей работе, к тому же это приложения и виджеты сами по себе удобны 👏🏻

### 5/5 — A VERY handy tool❕

*2025-03-07, version 3.9*

I use this daily

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2024-10-20, version 3.4*

Works just like I need it too.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2024-09-13, version 3.4*

Nice UX, no bugs, works great. Thanks man!

### 5/5 — Does exactly what it says

*2024-08-08, version 3.4*

It’s all I need. Nothing fancy and does what it says. Some nice settings that are also free too

### 5/5 — Simple but excellent.

*2024-07-11*

Started counting my cigarettes through this app. Works great. Easy to use. Expecting features like easy to read log but not a major issue. There is log feature already available but i find it tricky to read. 

Recommend…!!!

### 4/5 — Works well but...

*2024-07-08*

It's awesome and I use it daily, but it would be nice to have an Apple watch app

### 5/5 — просто и удобно

*2024-06-20, version 3.4*

Удобное/Лаконичное

несомненный плюс наличие виджета на экране блокировки

### 5/5 — Lock Screen

*2024-06-01, version 3.4*

How do I add the counter to the lock screen???

**Developer response:** Hello, please watch the video help in the application menu.

### 1/5 — “Reset Counter” setting doesn’t work

*2026-07-06, version 3.15*

The option to reset my counter every 24 hours doesn’t work at all. 

Other than that, the UI is decent and the Lock Screen widget lets me count up/down. It just never resets. It would make sense for the 24h mark to happen at midnight or 3am or something, but it doesn’t appear to work at all. 

I’m hesitant to buy the “PRO” version because I can’t be sure any of the locked functions work if the basic functions don’t.

**Developer response:** Hello. Please contact support via the app menu. This is the first report indicating that the reset isn't working. A "reset after 24 hours" means that 24 hours will elapse from the moment the counter was last changed. To perform the reset at a specific time, there is a "reset at a scheduled time" option.

### 1/5 — 簡単だけど

*2026-06-03, version 3.15*

フィードバックがしつこい

### 1/5 — 買った意味無し

*2025-09-27, version 3.11*

画像は設定できますがどこを切り抜かれるかも分からず、引き伸ばされた画像が使われます。リセットも24時間にしてもリセットされず。本当に買った意味がないです。
これから検討される方は買わない方がよろしいかと思います。

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work as a widget

*2024-10-07, version 3.4*

It doesn’t work as a widget tho only thru the app you can use it as a widget it all it says is long press then something.

### 1/5 — Paywall makes it useless

*2024-04-28, version 3.4*

you can only make 3 counters for free

### 2/5 — Zwangbewertung

*2026-08-13*

Ich mag nicht den Zwang, eine Bezahlapp bewerten zu müssen!

### 2/5 — paywall

*2026-01-02, version 3.14*

Any customisation, visually or functionally, is hidden behind a paywall

### 3/5 — Useful

*2026-11-07*

Gets the job done as a basic counter.

### 3/5 — Widgets da migliorare

*2024-11-26, version 3.4*

I widget da tenere sulla schermata home funzionano male, praticamente funzionano bene solo come accesso alternativo all’app.

### 3/5 — Cannot call HTTP request on widget?

*2024-01-27, version 3.2*

I set up HTTP request configuration to a counter and it works perfect when I tap plus/minus buttons via App screen. However, while it is on widgets it does not work. Can I invoke HTTP request even from widget?

### 5/5 — 素晴らしい

*2026-10-10, version 3.16*

1日の摂取カロリーと摂取糖質量を記録するのに使っています。ウィジェットでざっくり記録できるのでとても便利！カウンターはプラス1マイナス1だけではなく、プラス50マイナス50、プラス100マイナス30など好きにカスタマイズ可能。また目標値設定やカウンターの色も緑&赤だけではなく好きに設定できます！プロバージョン買いました。このアプリの制作者様、どうもありがとうございます！

### 5/5 — Counting down?

*2026-07-31, version 3.15*

Everything works great…
Maybe I missed it but is there a way to count down?

**Developer response:** Hello, yes, you can use the minus "-" button or set the automatic step feature to "-1".

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-07-27, version 3.15*

This app was recommended by ChatGPT when I was trying to find a counter app that had a widget to allow control from the Lock Screen on my iPhone 16.  I was working a seven day event and wanted to tally how many people I helped each day but wanted to avoid the hassle of unlocking the phone every single time.  Figuring out how to change the source counter the widget was pointing to took some figuring out (I made a new counter for each day) but after that it was flawless!  Found a CSV bug with counters using names with invalid characters and the developer responded back within a day and I was able to export.  Will definitely keep using this!!

### 5/5 — Thanks!

*2026-04-20, version 3.14*

nice, simple, & exactly what i needed :)

### 5/5 — 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

*2026-03-09, version 3.14*

nice and useful apps❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Коротко

*2025-12-21, version 3.14*

Лаконичное приложение, ничего лишнего

### 5/5 — Deslizar itens

*2025-11-05*

Olá gostaria de sugerir uma função, ao adicionar um novo menu não é possível posicionado na lista, ele fica em último adicionado. 
Seria ótimo arrastado para reposicionar. Grato

**Developer response:** Olá, existe uma opção no menu do aplicativo para alterar a ordem da tela principal. Ou você está se referindo a uma lista diferente?

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed!

*2025-08-04, version 3.11*

This simple and interactive counter is just what I needed! This app could 100% be advertised for crochet row counting!

### 5/5 — Лучшее!

*2025-07-20, version 3.11*

Это идеально! Решил посмотреть сколько выкуриваю сигарет в день чтобы потихоньку начинать снижать их количество. Искал просто возможность выставить виджет с кнопкой плюс на экран и количеством нажатий! Приложение оправдало все ожидания! Поддержу разработчика покупкой! Спасибо 🙏

### 5/5 — Best counter app

*2025-06-12, version 3.10*

Excellent.
