A doodle is a type of sketch, an unfocused drawing made while a person's attention is otherwise occupied. Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may just be abstract shapes. Stereotypical examples of doodling are found in school notebooks, often in the margins, drawn by students daydreaming or losing interest during class. Other common examples of doodling are produced during long telephone conversations if a pen and paper are available. Popular kinds of doodles include cartoon versions of teachers or companions in a school, famous TV or comic characters, invented fictional beings, landscapes, geometric shapes and patterns, textures, banners with legends, and animations made by drawing a scene sequence in various pages of a book or notebook.

One giant number. One big tap target. Count reps, cups, laps, tasks, birds, or anything, without hunting for a tiny button. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT - A number you can actually read. The count fills the screen, so a glance from across the room is enough. - Tap to increment, and that's it. The whole lower half of the screen is your "+". Subtract and reset live right beside it. - Keep every tally in one place. Add as many counters as you like, each with its own name and color, and switch between them with a swipe or a tap on its colored dot. - Undo a reset. Zeroed the wrong counter? One tap puts it back. MAKE EACH COUNTER YOURS - Twelve colors to tell your counters apart at a glance. - Count by any step: by 1, by 5, by 10, whatever you're tracking. - Allow negatives, or clamp at zero. - Sound and haptics on every change: pick a sound and a haptic feel, or keep it silent. Set it once for the whole app, or override it per counter. BUILT FOR ONE HAND - Left- or right-handed layout, app-wide or per counter, so the buttons land under your thumb. SEE IT ADD UP - Every counter keeps a history. Open the graph to watch your count climb over time, with a running event log of every + and - and when it happened. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Everything lives on your device. No account, no sign-in, no tracking. Whether you're counting reps at the gym, cups of coffee, inventory on a shelf, or bugs in a sprint, CodeYam Counter makes it a single satisfying tap.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CodeYam Counter at none against Doodle's 1. Doodle's advantage is iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
