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

■1. What Does This App Do? This app is designed to help you schedule your "next appointment" and add it to your calendar. At first glance, you might wonder, “Do I really need an app for that?” However, if you’ve ever found yourself in situations like the following, it might be worth giving it a try: - At the dentist, trying to schedule your next appointment three months out, but fumbling to flip through the calendar. - Booking a time you thought was free, only to later realize it conflicts with another event. ■2. How Does It Work? Once you set up your preferred scheduling intervals in advance, the app allows you to: - Display the date/time for the next appointment (based on your set interval). - Make small adjustments if needed, then register the appointment to your calendar. That’s all there is to it! ■3. Additional Benefits Even with such a simple feature set, adding one more setting can make your calendar even more convenient. For example, if you include a location in your appointment template, you’ll get a notification like, “It’s time to leave,” around the time you should head out. This is actually a built-in feature of the iOS Calendar app, but manually adding locations every time can be a hassle or easy to forget. By pre-setting this in the app, you can enjoy the convenience with just one tap. ■4. Usage Examples - Haircuts: Every 7 weeks - Dentist Appointments: Every 3 months To be honest, I currently only use the app for these two scenarios, which means I use it about once a month on average. :)
