The very easy to use counter for both counting up and counting down. A big, easy to find, touch button accompanied by a click sound, makes it possible to use without need to focus at the screen. Tap the button and count upwards. A tap at zero button resets to zero. Correction button for up or down depending of mode. Insert a number, execute, and the counter counts backwards to zero where a ping is heard. Button for +10 intended for approximate counting of a large amount. Last state is saved until next session.
