Get started guide
Welcome to CellCounter
CellCounter helps you count and categorize cells in the way that fits your workflow. You can choose from three main counting modes: Regular, Two Button, or Variable Button mode. Let’s get started with an overview of each mode and how to make the most of the app.
Choose Your Counting Mode
When you open the app, you’ll see options for Regular, Two Button, or Variable Button mode. Each mode offers a different way to count: Regular mode gives you 5 customizable buttons, Two Button mode simplifies counting to just two, and Variable Button mode lets you add up to 10 buttons for advanced layouts.
Customizing Buttons
In any mode, you can assign each button a cell type or symbol. Tap and hold (force touch) on a button to open a menu of cell types or your own custom buttons. You can also change button images and colors for easy identification.
Moving and Arranging Buttons
To rearrange buttons in Regular or Variable Button mode, simply drag them to your preferred location on the screen. This helps you set up the layout that matches your workflow. In Variable Button mode, you can add or remove buttons using the plus and minus controls.
Saving and Loading Profiles
After customizing your button layout and cell types, tap the Set Profile button to save your setup as a profile. You’ll be prompted to give it a name. You can load or edit previous profiles from the settings or edit screens, making it easy to switch between different counting setups.
Start Counting
Tap your configured buttons to start counting. The app will keep track of your totals and provide feedback with sound and vibration. You can reset the count or complete a count session at any time using the controls at the bottom of the screen.
Sound and Haptic Feedback
Sound effects and haptic feedback help confirm each button press. You can turn these effects on or off in the settings menu. Custom buttons can also have their own unique sound effects.
Premium Features
Unlock premium features to remove ads and access advanced customization options such as custom buttons. You can also share your own profiles through the cell counter website. You can purchase or restore your premium status from the settings or when accessing premium features. If you already purchased, use the Restore Purchases option.
