Welcome to Count56

What is it?

Count56 is an iPhone app that counts for you. That's all it does!

What does the name mean?

I pronounce it 'Count Five Six'.

What does it look like?

It looks like this :

What does it do?

Imagine that you're teaching a Swing Dance routine and you'd like to practice it at a known tempo. Fire up Count56 on your iPhone, select the desired tempo and press 'Start', and it will start counting.

When it is counting it shows you how many phrases you've had so far, just above the 'Start' button, like this :

Later on, you'd like to try your routine a little faster. Select a faster tempo, press 'Start' again, and off it goes.

Or perhaps you're teaching, and you'd like to give the class a steady beat without needing to talk, so that you can wander around the class and help people. Select the Tempo you want using the Tempo picker, press 'Start' and off it goes. Plug it into your mixing desk and play it through the sound system.

What do the controls do?

If you'd like to have a different voice or language, select it using the Language picker.

The Tempo picker allows you to choose your desired tempo.

The Phrases picker selects how many phrases you want it to count, from 1 to 128.

The Intro picker gives you three options for an introduction :

• No introduction
• A Short introduction, (5, 6, 7, 8)
• A Long introduction (5, , 6, , 5, 6, 7, 8)

Count56 can count in a number of languages, and we hope to add more over time.
