Rating: 5/5

Out of all the Mala apps I’ve tried this one is superior as far as I’m concerned. Works great with lots of customizable features. Had the basic free version for a year and that was great but finally decided to “splurge” and support this app that I got so much use out of and the premium features made me enjoy it so much more. So whether you just want the free version or are willing to spend a few bucks for the upgrade, this app is the one to get- don’t waste your time looking for any others.

Today, I searched desperately for a counter/tally app suitable for Mala Beads style counting. The functions needed for this, I think, are obviously alerts at targeted counts and auto-repeat/auto-reset functions with data for rounds/lap functions, with different alerts for counts and rounds/laps/target-completion. Downloaded and tested more than 20 counter apps and more than half a dozen mala-like apps. Other apps are found to be nowhere near the functionalities and customaziblity of this app. I can customize the count sounds and lap sounds. Very flexible counter text size and positions. Able to add/change my own background. History function. Almost whole screen tap area. Lock mode for prevention of accidental calling up of menus. Amazingly, I don't need to buy in-app purchase to get a fully functional and very customazible app. That's all I need. I just need only one counter and don't need to syncronize across all devices. That said, as a donation for the great efforts of the creator of the app, I just bought 1.99$ in-app purchase; which hopefully 😆 will give me using multiple counters and syncing across device, I think. With that I got, unexpectly, a few more color themes to choose.*[edit: sorry, the available additional color themes come intelligently from the colors from the chosen background photo, not from purchase 😁.] Some customizable options need slightly steep learning curve, imo. I'm using iphone 7 (ios 11.3) purposefully haven't yet upgraded to ios 12. So far so good. I hope the devs won't screw up the app in next updates 😬. So far, the app crash once while writing this [while switching and testing the app], that's not good of course, but it doesn't make me to down vote from my five stars. May be I'll update later according to my experiences with this app.
