Great App
I was going to use the free version but decided to pay for the premium version and saw who the creators were and how my $4.49 could help them and it was a 1 time payment, I thought that was great! You rarely see a creator introduce themselves. It’s a great app! I will continue to always use it! Thank you!Show lessTalia1111

Hi Talia1111, Glad that you are enjoying the app and thanks for your support! 🙌 Thanks! FacundoDisappointed with the update
When I first downloaded the app, I loved it!
The ability to personalize the color and emoji used for each event was cool. But, I especially loved the count backwards feature. By this I mean you could put in your anniversary and it would tell you how many days, weeks, years you’ve been married. Likewise for birthdays. The update seems to have taken this feature away. Not happy with that! Put that ability back and I will happily give this app 5 stars.Show lessdebb seeker
UPDATED REVIEW, now with 5 stars.
My original review is below, but I was so impressed by how quickly they fixed this problem I needed to post an update. Just after posting this, the developers contacted me to say they had released a fix. After waiting a couple days, I can confirm they fixed the bug mentioned in my original review.
Seriously, if you’re looking for a countdown widget and app, this is it. Being picky, I’ve probably used almost all the others in the app store. This one is the cheapest, easiest to use, and most aesthetically pleasing.
Original review:
Definitely one of the better countdown apps I’ve used! Custom colors, emojis, everything. I downloaded it to use the widget and I have to keep deleting and reinstalling the widget in order for it to update on my homepage. Once that gets fixed though, it’s a five star app for sure.Show lessTheo Drake
App is nice but widget doesn’t update
I downloaded this app because I wanted to get a countdown to certain events fast at a glance. So the best way for me was through the widget. This, I think, is the most common use case for something like this, which is why you had to pay to get the widget. That seems pretty fair. The app itself is also very easy to use and adding events and changing them is pretty straightforward. However, my biggest issue with the app is that the widget, for which I paid for, doesn’t update it self. The event I added shows correctly in the app that it is 16 days away but in the widget shows 19 days when I first added it. Pretty disappointed with that.Show lessileasis
Hoping for more updates
I really love the simplicity of this app so I decided to purchase it in order to use the widget and at first I was in love but it seems as though there’s a glitch where the countdown doesn’t refresh to reflect the correct countdown. Also, when there’s just hours left in a countdown, on the widget it says 12 days instead of 12 hours left which is confusing at times since I use this app for school to countdown my due dates. I really hope they update this app and improve on it, I will definitely change it to a 5 star if they do!Show lessAna~Ro
Purchased premium and still see days as units in app
Nice app. Very straightforward but full featured. However I REALLY don’t like that in the main view in the app, the only units available are days. Who thinks in terms of hundreds or thousands of days? I purchased the upgrade thinking I would be able to change the units viewed in the main app view, but they are still days only despite my preferences. I don’t use the widget. I purchased the upgrade for the sole purpose of choosing units thinking it would also update on the main app screen. VERY disappointed. If this were fixed, 5 stars.Show lessDr. BPW
I love this app but money!
I love this app, I am sooo very forgetful and always forget birthdays and this app is so useful especially for that! While it’s great to upgrade things you have to pay. I do not have the money to pay/upgrade apps. This app does work awesome without the money and sends me a notification when I scheduled something so you don’t pay it’s still good and works awesome! Love this app, wish there was no money involved! Sophie , age 10!Show lessIlovethisbibleapp!!
Love this app! But...
I love this app! I’m using it to count down to the second for when The Falcon and The Winter Soldier comes out (lol, I’m such a geek). It’s a really good app!!! I have no complaints, but I do have a few suggestion that will make this app sooo much better!!!
. It would be amazing if you can change the fonts for your titles of your events your counting down. That would be great! Instead of just one font, there could be multiple, and make this app more fun!
. If where you put an emoji, you could put a photo instead! So instead of any emoji next to the title of your event, what if you could put a photo.
. And my last suggestion is when your countdown ends, instead of just getting a notification that pops on ur screen, what if the notifications sent out fake confetti on your screen, or something fun to make it more appealing, fun, and more of a celebration to use!
These are my suggestions, I hope the maker of this app responds and I get at least one of these suggestions in this app, I would love it if it happened, and maybe even raise my review to 5 stars! But for now, it’s good enough of an app for 4 stars. Cute app that I recommend, but could use some add ins! Thanks!!!Show lessgingeralecat@
It looks nice but...
It won’t automatically update the number of days left in the widget. It only updates once I click on the widget to open the app which completely defeats the purpose. I just needed it to display the correct number of days left when I swipe left..... like literally that’s the only reason I bought this app and it doesn’t do the thing. Wish I hadn’t bought it.
Edit: it started working right after the latest iOS update BUT it would be nice to have some other way to report a problem with the app within the app itself or some way to contact the app developers aside from writing a review. Either way I didn’t think they deserved a bad rating now that it’s working properly.Show lessemmypearlgirl
Buggy
Update #2: widget was fixed and functioned normally for about 3 weeks. It is once again dysfunctional, especially on the iPad version. The widget doesn’t update at all on the iPad. On the iPhone it updates but calculates the days incorrectly. THIS IS ABSURD!
Update: developer is unresponsive. The same problem with the widget has been reported by multiple reviewers and there is barely a comment in response. I tried emailing them but they don’t respond to that either. After all, if people are paying money for a widget whose only job is to count the number of days and it won’t do that, don’t we deserve a refund?
The app is fine and easy to use with a pleasant graphic interface. But the widget needs work. For whatever reason, it randomly quits actually counting down the days to an event. For example, the widget may show 402 days to the event but when I open the app it will say 397 days to the event (397 is accurate). Once I exit the app the widget will reset itself accurately. It then goes on to count down accurately for a few days before quitting again.
I paid extra for this widget but with this sort of bug I wonder why I bothered.
Using this app on both an iPhone 12 pro and iPad; similar problems with each.Show lessShanalovereeeeee

Hi Shanalovereeeeee, We've just released an update with several improvements to the widget that should fix this issue, you only need to go to the App Store and update the app to the latest version. We've made a lot of improvements so we are confident there shouldn't be any updating issues. If for some reason you are still having issues please send us an email to countdownappfree@gmail.com so that we can take a look. Thanks, Facundo
