Ripple Counter is a simple counter app that counts wherever you tap on the screen. The big, full-screen number is easy to read from a distance, and every tap gives you haptic and sound feedback, so you can keep count without looking at the screen. Each tap also sends a water-like ripple across the screen from the spot you touched. FEATURES - Tap anywhere on the screen to count - Ripples that spread from your tap and make the whole screen wave like water (adjustable speed and depth) - Haptic feedback and sound let you know each tap was counted - The number changes color with every tap - Flip style that shows the digits on flip-clock cards - Step back by one, reset, and share your count - Give your counter a title - Choose from 4 font weights and 9 background colors - Dark Mode support (you can also keep the light colors) - Keep the screen from auto-locking while you count - Your count and settings are saved automatically No ads. No data is collected.
