GoodCounter - App Review



Anybody out there remember the days when airline stewardesses used to go up and down a plane with a clicker to confirm the number of passengers?

It always struck me as a bit of an inefficient exercise, as the number of seats was fixed so it would have been far quicker to count empty seats.

Anyway, this App reminds me of those days; it is a counter.

Now for the ACIDS test:

Aesthetics
Press the + to create a new counter, assign it a name, number of 'steps' (count) per click, pick a colour (from a choice of 6), set an initial value (default is 0000), and choose whether or not to show in the Today widget. Now press Save and you're good to go.

The best thing is to scroll the counter left to right and pick the option Fullscreen.

Having done that, anytime you press anywhere near the middle of the screen, the counter will increment by the value you set, together with a reassuring click sound.

Cost
The App Costs $2.

Indispensability
If you need a counter (or multiple counters) that reply on manual input, this is very easy to configure and use.

Dependability
Works perfectly.

Security
The App is self-contained, so no concerns on this front.

ACIDS Test Rating:

Click, there goes another one (whatever 'it' might be).
