A minimalist approach to tracking counts. Keep as many counters as you like and access them all with a drag action from a single view! Designed for iOS with sleek animations and native reactivity to your touch, Spinner+ just feels right. Every counter is maintained independently and allows you to customize its name, set a starting value, and specify a default increment amount. Your counter names are searchable so you can always find what you're looking for. And the increment amount will add or subtract form your total with a quick tap on the related button. You can even make precise counter adjustments to your total by setting the slider that appears when you hold down the plus or minus buttons on the home screen. If your counts grow too large over time then tapping the counter face switches to the count for today without altering your overall result (tap it again to switch back). What about yesterday? Spinner+ shows counter changes over time on a graph and even lets you share with your friends Facebook or followers on Twitter.

Birthday Countdown 's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
