Counter App for Sports Coaches

Intro

Coaching decisions are better when they rest on what actually happened, not on what you happen to remember. Counter App turns your Android phone into a tally board for the training ground, pool deck or court: one tap per rep, length, shot or score, logged with the time. It works offline for all counting, runs on Android 12 and later, and is free to download with no ads; try it free for 3 days, then choose a yearly or monthly plan or a one-time lifetime purchase.

Use cases

• Rep and set counting. A counter per athlete, a tag per exercise, targets for each set and rest timers on the same tag. Read the guide.
• Basketball and court drills. Made and missed tags in a Grid view, timed drills, and exports for shooting percentages. Read the guide.
• Player stats. Track a few clear stats per player across training and games, with notes for context. Read the guide.
• Live score keeping. A counter per match, tags per team and metric, period timers and a season record. Read the guide.
• Swim lap counting. A tag per lane, step set to pool length, targets with auto-reset for each rep. Read the guide.
• Team equipment. Categories for stores, QR labels on bags, photos of damage and check-out counts. Read the guide.

Features that matter for coaches

• Tags inside a counter. Each tag has its own value, colour, step, target, timer and stopwatch, so one counter can hold a whole session, squad or set of lanes.
• Single, List and Grid views. Grid puts every player, lane or drill on one screen as tiles.
• Step from 1 to 100. Count lengths as metres, cones in stacks, or scoring actions by their value.
• Targets with alerts. Count up or down to a goal, with optional sound or vibration, auto-reset and auto-lock.
• Volume-button counting. Off by default; when enabled it counts in the background and on the lock screen, with remappable keys and per-key sound and vibration. Some devices may still show the system volume bar.
• Lock-screen notification. Minus, plus and stop buttons without unlocking.
• Per-tag timers and stopwatches. Presets of 30 seconds and 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 minutes, with countdown beeps, 7 alarm sounds and 8 vibration patterns.
• History and notes. Every count is logged with its time; add notes to events, and review them on the All Notes screen.
• Photos. Up to 6 photos per tag, with an editor for arrows and text on whiteboard shots or kit damage.
• Dashboard. Overview, per-tag progress, activity bar chart and pie chart.
• Export. CSV, Excel (XLSX) or an HTML report with embedded photos.
• Categories and backup. Up to three category levels for squads and seasons; ZIP backups with photos and import with duplicate handling.
• Lock and trash. Protect counters from stray taps and restore deleted ones.
