This is the Pro version of Tap Counter with sets. You can tap to count and get a notification when you have reached pre-determined counts. Set-1 is the lower count and set-2 is the upper count. You can set preset values. You can also set a background image for the counter. The pro version has speaking options for counts, jump up or down buttons that allow you to round up or down or add or subtract, and a history. Tap Counter sets can be used as an alert. For instance if you are counting 100 people into a venue you can set the set-1 count to 90 and set-2 to 100 so you will be alerted when 90 people have gone in and again when you reach 100. Personal trainers can use this to monitor sets of exercises. Certain numbers of repetitions of each exercise can be timed so an alert is given when a timer has expired. Using the speech feature and a bluetooth speaker, trainers can use this when taking a class so each count is read out and alerts sounded when milestone counts are reached. There are certain types of meditation where phrases are repeated either silently or out loud. Tap Counter Pro is perfect for this. When a certain number of repetitions have been made an alert will sound. Frequently used combinations can be saved and the title can be set to be the phrase to be repeated.
