About

TAEL Counting

Features
Read full description

TAEL is a simple app for counting events. This could be anything from visits to the bathroom to how many times you eat candy. Everyone has something different they need to count. The app provides an overview of past events and averages pr. day, week, month and year. The next time the doctor asks you have many drinks you have per week, you can know the answer, if you want to. Currently events are persisted on the device only so they will be deleted if you delete the app.
