This is an excellent app for keeping track of something/someone in large quantities without having to remember which number you are on, with the added benefit of doing so discreetly. Examples of uses may be: making a guest list, counting large amounts of money/change, gathering test samples for experiments/surveys, listening for the number of times something is uttered (for correction of speech impediments/frequent use of a conversation tic, ex: "um", "uh"), counting votes, or counting heads at a gathering. A sleek counter that enables keeping track of counts forward or backwards, and allows you to start over to zero. Tapping the screen anywhere triggers the counter to increase (or decrease).

Tap Tap Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0.
