My Five (5) Suggestions to the Simple Counter offered by Andros Fenollosa | Open Source

The "Simple Counter" App is an open source app for android. This is simple, elegant, fast, and free counter for all devices.

The last update of the app was last December 7, 2015 with 10+ downloads, and I am one of them now. Personally, I really love this app. I appreciated so much of how they built the design of the app. Take a look:

See those colors? It is very fascinating to our eyes. I'm loving it already.

These five suggestions will make the Simple Counter better:

1. The number to be counted can be put and edited.
   You cannot input a number to be counted on the latest version of the Simple Counter. You must have to count up before meeting what you want to count first. Through this, users will get tired in terms of counting 1000. Instead, the users will just have to put the number to be counted, and start counting up or down. This will make the app less hassle and handy.
2. The starting number to be counted should not always starts to zero, it should be starting according to the users's preference.
   In this manner, if the user is to count a hundred, it is hassle for him to start. He will be counting up from 0 to 100, where he should be counting down from 100 to 0.
3. Make a "beep" sound once the counter reaches every -5s, 0, and +5s.
   This is to notify that he's down counting down or up by 5s. For example, if the user is to count a hundred, the Simple Counter will beep every 95, 90, 85, 80........ and 0.
4. A negative counting should be added.
   The counting down should not limit and last to zero but reaches more to the negative numbers. This is to know the user in their counting that they are reaching now to negatives.
5. Storing and adding a new counter feature.
   This will make the app more advance for it will store the name, the history, the date of the user's last counting. A title should also be considered making the user remember his last activities in the app.

Some Suggestions to consider:

1. A minimum Android version of 5.0 or even 6.0 requirement must be met.
2. A variety or available sounds should be available for entertainment for counting.
3. New themes and animations must be added. For example, if the user clicks the "negative ( - )", indication of counting down, a quick pop-up of animation should appear on screen.

Thank you friends, that's all. For sure, this will make the Simple Counter better and more handy to all the users.

What do you think?
