Counting Cows makes road trips fun and exciting! It’s simple to play while riding in your road trip vehicle (car, truck, bus, etc..), the person on the left side of the vehicle plays against the person on the right side of the vehicle. As you spot bovines you press the left or right cow button to score points. The app uses special moo sounds recorded from real cows and each side has its own moo cow moos. But, watch out! If you pass a graveyard on your side, then all of your cows go bye-bye and you start over. To win the game, you can play against a timer OR simply start playing the game and when you're ready to end the game, select Finish and watch a pretty little dancing cow appear to announce the winner. We do NOT collect or store any information in this app. Ad FREE!! While not its main purpose, this app can also help kids learn about numbers and counting.....and cows.
