Tally Counter 1.2.0.0

A versatile utility for counting points in games, keeping scores or tracking any kind of items
While playing games at home or practicing some sports activities that involve scoring or keeping an accurate count of various things, having at hand a virtual helper to make the job easier is a must these days.

Those who carry around their mobile devices to use them for pretty much any activity can get carry out this task as well, with the help of a specialized tool. For Windows Phone users one of the apps made juts for such purposes is Tally Counter.

Sombre yet easy to use front-end

The appearance of this utility is lacking any elements of graphical design that could pass as appealing, so it relies solely on its simple layout and convenient placement of the functions to attract as many users as possible.

The commands are kept in the main menu placed in the lower side of the screen, making them easy to reach. Just above this menu you will come across some ad banners that appear after a few uses, but fortunately are not a constant presence throughout the app.

Easily create and manage groups with several counters

Tally Counter allows you to add as many groups as you need and inside every one of them you can include several counters, each corresponding to a different activity. For any of the selected groups you can set several values that trigger various actions.

More precisely, you can assign the maximum and minimum values, as well as one for resetting all the counters to that exact number. When the upper limit is reached, the respective counter flashes green, while is the lower limit is hit, the flashing color will be red.

Add or subtract with customizable increments

One neat feature of this application is the fact that you can personalize separately the increments and decrements for every counter, so, for example, when keeping the score for a game you can append a different number of points than the one you deduct with a single tap.

If for some reason you need to include negative values in your count, you will surely be glad to know that Tally Counter supports this as well.

This app has a really unattractive GUI, with a dull look and some occasional advertisement banners appearing inside the interface, which make it lose a lot from the visual point of view.

Function8
 

The utility offers some nice features for keeping scores and counting things, featuring customizable increments and color notifications when certain limits are reached.

Security7
 

For some reason, this application has to access a few secure areas of the system, even if they are not related to its actual functionality.

Battery6
 

There is a substantial drain of power while Tally Counter is running, so the battery usage registers very high values.

Price8
 

For all users interested in getting a simple and easy to configure tool to keep count of various things, this app can serve the purpose quite well.

Only the devices that are powered by Windows Phone 8 and above can have this app installed and functioning properly.
