as @Taifun said you have to add item to a list and then manage it for your goal. This is one way 👇 but not the only one! ![Cattura](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/8/98411363d2bcb789ca919ddcc48bd3ad9e8568e2.png) If you don’t want to use a database delete all the blocks violet named TinyDb. > [@Tiana\_Freiha](#): > > those recommendations are confusing for me as a beginner If you don’t spent a little of time to study at least the basic components, your confusion can only increase exponentially 😅 If you add some pic or relevant block we will help you better ---

So I think you are using Thunkable X , I changed your discussion tag. If you set Thunkable classic you will receive help for Thunkable Classic 🤣😂 The way is the same. Add item to list and save it in a variable to manage value as you like. Here docs for [LIST](https://docs.thunkable.com/thunkable-cross-platform/create/blocks/lists) Here docs for [VARIABLE](https://docs.thunkable.com/thunkable-cross-platform/create/blocks/variables) Maybe now (with the right tag) other users can help you, I don’t use Thunkable X ---

But this app is for an assessment so I HAVE to use Thunkable X ---
