Tallymander is the original, list-based counting tool for iPhone. From surveys to inventories to complicated scoring systems, Tallymander is the best way to keep track of numbers on the go. Complex equations are recalculated instantly as you count! Features: - Grouped, list-based counting - Customization options for each Counter - Calculations and statistical measures for real-time data analysis - Export and sharing options Why Tallymander? Tallymander stores your counts in easy to navigate lists. Scroll up or down to reach the tally you want to edit. Tap on the right side of an entry to increase the count. Tap on the left of an entry to decrease the count. Tallymander entries are fully customizable. Differentiate your counts by renaming, changing the counter color, even assigning a symbol. Counts can be manually set to a specific number, allowing Tallymander to take over from an existing pen-and-paper list. Turn on progress meters to quickly illustrate the status of your counts. The increment and reset value of each count can also be customized, allowing you to easily score any game. Need to count but don't want to fumble with a touchscreen? No problem there, either. Counters can be set to add or subtract with a firm flick of the wrist. Tallymander will display a motion feedback bar and even vibrate your device to confirm a tally has been recorded. Sometimes you need to answer questions about the data you've collected. Tallymander has you covered there, too. Calculators allow you to build chains of math operations based on tallies across all of your groups. The result of a Calculator is updated any time one of its input values changes. You can even use the result of one Calculator as input for another. The result is a powerful way to quickly sum a group of entries, sort out percentages, even build complicated scoring models. Data is most powerful when you can share it. Tallymander allows you to email a simple, text-based report summarizing the status of any Workspace. For deeper data needs, Tallymander can export a CSV file containing all the data being tracked by a Workspace. Finally, you can share your Tallymander setup with other users: send your customized Counters and Calculators to any other Tallymander user. With Tallymander data sharing, you can create a scoreboard with intricate computations and customized increments and share it with everyone playing your game. Tallymander data sharing lets you set up even a lengthy survey and distribute it instantly to your data collectors. After a ten year hiatus, Tallymander is back in the App Store. Version 3.0 has been rebuilt from scratch with the newest technologies. Almost all of the new features in this app are the result of customer feedback. My sincerest thanks to all Tallymander customers. Keep sending your ideas and requests to mail@danilocampos.com! Terms of Use: https://tallymander.app/terms.html

About

Spacebar Counter

Features
Read full description

The iOS Spacebar Counter App (also known as the Counter Clicker App) that you can download from the App Store, was inspired by our popular online Spacebar Counter and molded to perfection with suggestions by our web visitors. Our visitors wanted a standalone application that does not require an Internet connection (unlike the online version), and they wanted to be able to count many things at the same time. We were happy to comply with visitors' requests. This app does not require the Internet after it has been installed on your device, and you can count up to four things at the same time. Its potential uses are endless. For example, use it to keep track of and count sports scores, family card games, board games, accomplishments, knitting progress, crochet tally, and so much more. We hope the Spacebar Counter App will become your go-to app for keeping track of and counting different fun activities in your life.
