### 3/5 — Not automatic

*2022-05-11, version 1.2*

Thought it would count for me.  Other apps will. My coding skills are non existent so who am I to complain about an app that does anything!

### 4/5 — How to save

*2019-07-14, version 1.2*

Thank you for this app, but is there any possibility to save the counted picture?
I see no download option for my counted cells,

### 4/5 — Cool

*2019-02-02, version 1.2*

Not exactly what thought which was that it would auto count things in the picture but still accomplishes this goal. It does however need an option to save the photo with the object count

### 4/5 — Great for head counts!

*2017-12-03, version 1.2*

We use this to keep track of how many people attend church on Sunday and it works great. I would give it 5 stars if I could pay a buck for an adware free version and not everyone on our team has an iOS device, so an Android version would be appreciated too!

### 2/5 — Okay, not great

*2015-04-26, version 1.1.1*

As others have said, we need to be able to zoom out, also automatic would be nice.  Using the camera directly from the app would be good too.

### 3/5 — Ok.

*2014-03-24, version 1.1.1*

Great idea for an app. It helped me count my baby fries.  Approximately 70 baby guppies. Just wish I could zoom out and view the whole picture. Would also like the option to save the picture with the dots to photo album.

### 2/5 — Buena idea pero tiene muchas deficiencias

*2012-11-24, version 1.1.1*

Es una excelente idea y una APP útil pero tiene muchas limitantes:
1. Sólo puedes utilizar una foto a la vez.
2. Solo marca con cuadros, aun que puedes seleccionar colores, solo tiene marcadores cuadrados. Sería bueno que tuviera más formas para los marcadores (Círculos, estrellas, triángulos, X, ✅, etc.
3. No se puede guardar los resultados, si importas otra foto, pierdes lo que ya contaste. Debería permitir exportar los resultados.

### 4/5 — OK COUNTER

*2012-10-21, version 1.1.1*

You can't zoom out a lot so you can't see your whole picture and it is blurry.Otherwise it's fine counting

### 3/5 — Good

*2012-02-09, version 1.1.1*

but longs for an update especially support on high res.

### 1/5 — Zero stars - doesn’t work

*2023-03-27, version 1.2*

Don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Awful

*2020-02-22, version 1.2*

Doesn’t count for you

### 1/5 — Would give it 0

*2018-10-18, version 1.2*

This app is retarded, a monkey with autism could do better than this app

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2017-10-02, version 1.2*

This is pointless as you have to mark every individual dot. It doesn't do it for you.

### 1/5 — Worst App

*2016-12-07, version 1.2*

Thought this would automatically count objects in the image, instead it needs to be done manually by tapping on objects. Useless.

### 1/5 — near useless

*2013-12-21, version 1.1.1*

You have to click on every object you want to count. if it were 50 or 100 you'll be wasting time. Much better if the app could recognize alike objects and auto count.

### 1/5 — Cannot zoom in and out.

*2013-02-01, version 1.1.1*

this app would actually be cool if it fit the picture in the screen.

### 1/5 — iAds? I payed for this app

*2010-12-22, version 1.1*

Lousy. I payed for this app and now I have to endure iAds? This is a cheat.

### 1/5 — Errgh

*2010-09-24, version 0*

This app only counts the number of times you tap on an image. That's all.

### 2/5 — More Adware Than App

*2015-07-18, version 1.1.1*

Concept is nice -- auto-counting would be better, but app leaves a lot to be desired. 

First, it only shows the center of the photo you use to count. It doesn't allow you to use the camera from within the app to capture what it is you want to count. 

Worst of all is the incessant flow of ads generated by the app. The are so annoying that they render the app not worth the effort to use, as if you have very many items to count, the drain on your battery becomes noticeable. 

I wish Apple would create a requirement that any ad-based app must also offer a "pro" version that contains no advertising. This is but one example of an app that is a good idea ruined by advertising that overtakes the app.

There has to be a better solution to the "counting problem" than this app. I've deleted it off my devices and am actively searching for a replacement.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-03-02, version 1.2*

This is brilliant. 
The perfect tool to avoid double count ing and with selection by the human eye giving the added value of being able to expand the photo to check the details of what does or does not need to be included.

### 5/5 — Still perfect

*2021-10-13, version 1.2*

One of my favorites. This app reduces the margin of error for me when counting pills. Pour them out, take a picture, put them back, count and log. It’s faster, safer & more accurate than counting them out with my hands. Thank you for this great app.

### 5/5 — I used it to count my transplanted hairs

*2021-05-12, version 1.2*

Does exactly what I need.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal app for counting

*2018-07-01, version 1.2*

Absolutely the best crowd counting app ever

SIMPLE BUT USEFUL 

This app can help you count anything.

The only limit is the clarity of your photo!!!

### 5/5 — The only app like it!  Please update To the new iOS

*2018-04-23, version 1.2*

The only app like it. Please update!

### 5/5 — Useful Tool

*2016-09-28, version 1.2*

Every once in a while you stumble upon an app that you never knew you needed. This is one of those apps for me. It's got Flappy Birds simplicity with iMovie practicality. I'm a coroner who has to regularly count prescription medications on my cases. I've always just taken photos but this app makes it way easier to keep track of them on screen. 

No ads would be nice but free is nice too.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-09-11, version 1.2*

Love this app . It's a workhorse. 
Simple . If they want to make it better here are a few ideas. 
1. As you touch the screen print the object number in the box. 
2. Have multiple counters running on different colors. 

Everyone interested in field ecology ,biology population investigation should have this . 
This should be mandatory for schools to have in science class. 
Good job

### 5/5 — how about auto-counting?

*2014-07-05, version 1.1.1*

you identify a typical object in a picture containing many similar objects and it counts  how many are in the picture automagically. when going on a trip I would use this to count the pills I already have to figure out how many I need to add...

### 5/5 — Great app

*2012-07-29*

Just needs a few tweaks , it will be great if you can take a photo within the app.

### 5/5 — @Any1forTea

*2010-12-21, version 1.1*

"This app only counts the number of times you tap on an image. That's all."

Ya think? That _is_ what the description says, after all. Who trusted you with an iPhone?

I think it's an awesome idea.
