About

PiP

Features
Read full description

PiP-Counter is a new style slot counter app. The PiP (Picture-in-Picture) feature is originally designed to play videos in a small window, but we realized the app by displaying a counter there. In conventional counter apps, you had to keep the app screen open to count. However, with PiP-Counter, since the counter is displayed in PiP, you can count while enjoying your favorite apps such as games, manga, and videos. To use the PiP feature, it is not necessary to open the PiP-Counter app screen. Therefore, unfortunately, the number of times ads are displayed in the app is extremely limited... If you favor PiP-Counter, we would be delighted if you would consider subscribing to support us. Please feel free to send us your feature requests and suggestions via the "Feedback & Suggestions" section within the PiP-Counter app."
