User reviews

Users love Simple Counter Button's simplicity and effectiveness as a basic counting tool, praising its clean design and reliability. Common requests include adding support for multiple counters, keyboard shortcuts for faster control, and syncing counts across devices. Several users report issues with the extension freezing or becoming unresponsive after extended use. The inability to reset counts easily within the main interface and lack of inbuilt notification features are also noted. Overall, the extension is highly regarded but could benefit from enhanced multi-count support and improved stability.

Pros

Simple and effective for counting tasks with a clean, no-frills design.
Users appreciate the ever-present counter and its ease of use.
Highly valued for basic counting needs with good functionality.
Appreciated for helping track various personal and professional tasks.
Generally praised for reliability and productivity when it works.

Cons

Lack of support for multiple counters or multiple counts simultaneously.
No keyboard shortcut/custom hotkey support for incrementing the counter, leading to user inconvenience.
Issues with the counter freezing or stopping to respond after some use.
Absence of synchronization between devices, causing counters to reset when switching machines.
Reset option sometimes only available through options menu, not easily accessible.

Love it, is the best for 1 counter but I need more than one, I am seeing other options but they are not this good

I like your options page! But take a look at this other counter extension for an idea as to how you can give us the feature of tracking multiple counters without multiple instances. It's a feature I need: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tally-counter/innllipkgdpgnnhmbhjfminingfjmlgl

love having an ever-present way to keep a tally. would request the option to have multiple instances of the counter, so multiple counts can be kept at the same time, with their own button shortcut.
