1.3 includes a productivity improvement and a fix.  Learn more about Dee Count for iPad.

Productivity Improvement

The custom count button (?) now updates the value and selects the button beside it (normally a 12) allowing for quicker repeated custom count entries. The custom button remains denoted by the question mark, and the third button becomes your custom value. The custom entry pad now always starts blank for quicker entry. This is perfect for when there are several products without barcodes that are counted by hand. In the older versions, this required an extra button tap and deleting the current custom value.

In the above screen shot, the current count selection is 3 and the custom entry is set to 5. Tapping the ? opens the count by entry pad.

Let’s say we have a product missing a bar code, and we counted by hand to find 24 on the shelf. Enter 24 and tap OK. The 24 is already selected, so we type in the product code.

Fixed

In landscape orientation, sometimes several of the action menu buttons didn’t work. Now works in iOS5 and iOS4, tested in iPad 2 and original iPad.

In Dee Count with iOS 5 there seems to be a glitch with the actions menu. When the menu shows up at half-height, some of the buttons don’t work. I’m looking into it. A workaround is to turn the iPad to the tall orientation and re-open the menu.

iOS 5 Keyboard Undock

The iOS 5 update allows for undocking or splitting the on-screen keyboard making the iPad easier for using while holding in two hands or to see more content. To undock, hold down on the keyboard hide button (lower-right corner) and select from the dialogue to undock or split. Hold-and-slide the same button to move around the screen.

The screen shots show my app, Dee Count, with the keyboard moved away from the bottom. If you return to using your bar-code scanner and eject later to type in text, your on-screen keyboard will return to where you last positioned it. To dock, hold down the keyboard button and select the dock dialogue.

Count, track, and verify your counts by comparing to a second count or an existing inventory list. Use a bar code scanner for quick entry. I recommend breaking your inventory into small sections for quick comparisons and help locate a product by where it was scanned.
