Calm Counter Social Story & Anger Management Tool

Education

Features & Capabilities

Calm Counter is a visual and audio tool to help people calm down when they are angry or anxious. The app includes a social story about anger, and audio/visual tools for calming down.


The app opens up to a “I need a break screen” that vocalizes “I need a break” when it is tapped. The screen then transitions to a red screen with an angry face and the number ten. With each tap the screen transitions to a calmer face and color. In this way, the app prompts the user to count backwards from ten followed by a deep breath.

The app also includes a simple social story with line drawings about anger. The social story talks about feeling angry and things you can do, like counting to ten, breathing deeply and taking a break, to calm yourself down.

The settings screen allows you to choose from male, female or no vocals for counting back from ten and for reading the social story out loud.

User Reviews

Reviewers see potential for calming and engagement when the app works, citing clear narration and engaging visuals and positive classroom use. However, recurring issues include audio failures, frequent crashes, and a limited feature set for a paid app, which reduces perceived value. Some users report stable, helpful use in certain situations, while others struggle with reliability and feature gaps.
Pros
  • Clear narration with bright, simple graphics that are engaging.
  • The calming countdown and social story approach helps with self-regulation.
  • Students and teachers report positive use and engagement (even requesting the app).
  • When functioning, it can be effective in classroom calming during escalation.
Cons
  • Audio/sound often doesn’t work or is absent (no narration or must rely on device volume).
  • App frequently crashes or won’t open/shuts off during use.
  • Limited functionality for a paid app (few features; missing promised narration/voice).
  • Glitches like the countdown running backwards.

This app is literally two features you’re paying for. I can’t figure out why there’s a charge.
