This app is perfect!! Simple, practical, elegant, and not needlessly complicated!! Blah2, 2014 A simple, east to use counter. Works flawlessly. If you're looking for a simple tool to count, this app works. Exactly what I wanted Tried many others. This has the best, most simple interface for my needs. Very straight forward tallying. Love it! Perfect! This was exactly what I was looking for - an app that let's you tick off numbers of things you need to do, but where the things themselves can't be differentiated, e.g. Papers you need to read, exercises you need to do. Thank you! Really useful app!!! It is very simple and easy to use. It's not like most other apps in which the apps are extremely complex and hard to use. I recommend this app for your counting jobs
