Leave a Review Countdown
Very disappointed
I bought the plus thing to this app so I could put it on my home screen cause they have the widgets and my god the freaking widget when u put it on ur Home Screen is just black nothing on it ir anything I thought maybe it’s just my phone air you know maybe the app needs to process that I have the plus thing so I deleted it and the reinstalled it three times already and turned off my phone more times then that it’s was only three dollars but I still am very upset about this because it’s still money I had to work for and it was wasted on some app that can’t even get a widget right ugh. Everyone was recommended the app so I figured oh what the heck why not but here I am now. Save ur self the money don’t get it might as well just go buy u a calendar cause this app ain’t gonna help u. 😐Show lessLaurynFann

Hi LaurynFann, This issue has been fixed, apologies for the inconvenience! Thanks, FacundoCountdown App
This countdown app help me to remember important things such as jobs that need to be done before certain dates, help me with seeing how long I’ve been in my relationship for, and the countdown app is just a great way to just keep track of multiple things happening and occurring in your life.Joy Kindness
Not Too Shabby!
So this is basically the perfect widget I was looking for to help me settle into this upgrade...and just that...BASICALLY. I love it, however it needs a little more “pizazz!” If that makes sense. I want to be able to change the background to a picture, or maneuver the widget so it stretches across the top of my Home Screen if I want. It needs some bedazzling for the most part, but overall, gets the job done. If you guys can’t take care of this teeny, tiny upgrade for me, I will gladly change my review to 5 beautiful stars! All in all, thank you so much for making this App! I really appreciate it! 👏🏾Show lessNeah0030
Don’t just skip past this App
Initially you may think that the premium price of £2.99 is a little bit too expensive, however remember this is a WIDGET and not just an App.
As far as reminder Apps go this is one of the best out there. It’s intuitive, very customisable, clear and best of all because it’s a Widget so you can insert it into a stack.
Highly recommend!!Show lessQwerty4728
Good but ..
I would suggest, unless I’ve done something wrong some way to push the information. I’m using this as a widget on my home screen for a countdown to pre release event and the timer / countdown only updates if I click in to the event on the app itself and press save.
It does not automatically update on my home screen which defeats its purpose for me, I can’t see any option for this in settings either.
(I can use timers and alarms on my iPhone just not have the information displayed)
Also it would be good if you made a countdown banner style option for the widget to continuously count down live the hrs,weeks,days,hrs,mins and maybe update the small square option to do this too.
Paid up and expected a little more.Show lessJamieM_UK

Hi JamieM_UK, We have just released a new version with several improvements. Please update the app to the latest version to see if the updates on the widget improved and let us know what you think. Regarding your banner style suggestion: can you please send us an email to countdownappfree@gmail.com telling us more about it? Thanks! FacundoUseful but lacks some stuff
Nicely designed, simple to use. Syncing across devices works well.
Two improvements I’d like to see: it would be very helpful to be able to set the start time and date of a countdown, not just when it ends; the main display only shows the countdown in days no matter what time format you select — be much better to display the format chosen.Show lessRik Kangaroo
Hopefully this review will save you some time
I've been looking for the perfect countdown app for some time and after downloading many of them, I believe this is the one.
All the other apps I tried had at least one major flaw (if not more): hard to use, trying to force me into a subscription, limited amount of countdowns to add for free, plagued with ads, requesting a lot of weird permissions, etc.
This one has none of those, and:
- It's very intuitive and easy to use
- I was able to add as many events as I wanted without paying extra
- Has a nice widget, I'm able to set reminders, pick colors and an emoji icon for each event
The upgrade was a very reasonable one time payment of $2.99, to remove the ads that were a bit annoying, plus getting access to the widget.
I hope more apps were as straightforward as this one.
Keep up the good work!Show lesscount54321
Okay but...
It’s a good app for counting down. Does exactly what it says it does. But you have to pay a one time fee of $5 to have it added to your widgets on your iPhone when other apps are just as great that do if for free. Ended up downloading another app that I can do that with for free and deleting this one. Would absolutely download again if that feature wasn’t something I had to pay for. $5 isn’t a lot of money, but definitely during a pandemic when money is important to be saved, and there are other apps like it that are free to add that widget feature (specifically why I downloaded it), it’s not worth it to me.Show lessPrettyicecube
Clean App, fair price
I like this app compared to the other countdown ones I’ve tried. It looks nice and simple and the price for premium is a off off which is fair.
Request for Dev: could you please allow us to count up from events in the past? I’m on lockdown because of covid and I’d like to know how many days I’ve been in isolation for. Thanks again!Show lesszanzistar

Hi zanzistar, If you update to our latest version, we now display days since on the detail section of each countdown as well as on the list and widget. Thanks! FacundoVery useful
Very easy to use, simple layout and nothing hidden. Tap + to add an event, the layout is easy to follow and set event info. Includes some fun features to set a background color and emoji, such as birthday cake to represent a birthdate. I did my whole calendar list of holidays, special days, birthdays of family and anniversaries in no time. Love the countdown and count up for past events, I put in my birthdate and know know to the second how old I am, really cool.
Easily shares with another devices, had same list on iPad and iPhone instantly.
I added the widget, very nice and shows either next two event or more. Nothing complicated to set up. I still gave 5 stars as its almost perfect.
It includes a feature to have event repeat next year, great for like birthdays that occur on same number day of a month each year, but for some holidays it won’t be correct as they occur not on a specific number day, but say, 2nd Monday of February and each year that will be a different number day, where the app has no setting for this.
Overall much better than anything else I tried and glad I found this and replaced previous app I’ve used for a few years.Show lessKeith-50
