Leave a Review Countdown
This app is amazing and makes your life easier
Once I got this app TODAY and read the rates of this app.
I was like “Omg I have to get this now!” I got it, and it’s already getting better already, it makes it pretty, and useful we even could make the title and colours.
✨IT. IS. AMAZING. ✨Thank you so much whoever made this app !! Super kind of you! ☺️Show lessAvacados_arethebest
Overall great, would love some extra detail
Just downloaded this app to help organize all my deadlines, I love it so far, especially the customization and widget option. However, I would love to be able to pick a start and end date to certain events.
For example setting a countdown for a weekend event that lasts 2-3 days, and counts down to the start of the first day. Maybe even an optional secondary timer that becomes available after the initial countdown, that would allow you to count down the remaining time of the event itself. Another use could be adding an end date for a repeating event. Like if I have a class once a week every week but only for a month, I’d like to set a stopping point at that time, instead of the timer going off indefinitely.
Just a few thoughts. Thank you!Show lessringohime16
Amazing app but no instructions
This app is amazing and for the small one off price to upgrade it is well worth it.
The only think I am having some trouble with it figuring out how to add the countdown to my lock screen as there are no instructions on how to use. But besides that, everything else is really simple and easy to use and it’s so great.
Well done developers. 👏🏻👏🏻Show lessMichaelSP1987

Hi MichaelSP1987, Thanks for the feedback! We will look into the best way of sharing instructions on how to add the Lock Screen widget. To add it: - Wake your iPhone from sleep, and long press on the Lock Screen - Tap Customize - Then tap Lock Screen on the left side - Tap the rectangle below the time, where it says Add Widgets - Scroll until you see Countdown and select the widget you'd like to add - Tap X and then Done If you have any questions please send us an email to countdown@findappiness.co Thanks, FacundiIncredibly basic, even after paying for premium
I gladly paid for premium thinking that it would unlock features for customizing the widget. I was wrong. This is the most basic of countdown widgets. You cannot customize anything. You can’t even choose the background color for the widget, the app picks a color for you. No font or display choices, literally nothing at all. You can name your countdown and pick the date, and that’s the end of it. I regret paying for this. If you are considering buying the premium version, just know that your purchase comes with no additional features whatsoever. I have found a different countdown app that has lots of features, it even allows you to upload a photo for the background, AND it shows in the widget as well. Save your money and keep looking, there are better out there.Show lesskxxxxxyuhh

Hi kxxxxxyuhh, I'm sorry you didn't like our widget and glad that you found an app that gets the job done for you. Just wanted to clarify that we do support custom colors for the widget. The widget will use the same color you picked for your event in the app. Regarding display choices: you can pick which units or event to show on the widget by long pressing on the widget and then tapping Edit Widget. You can also repeat events yearly, and get reminders. We try to find a balance between ease of use and features, so sometimes it's difficult to be the perfect app for everyone. Adding photos has been requested by users in the past and we are looking into the best way to add it to our app. If you have more feedback please send us an email to countdown@findappiness.co we'd love to learn how to keep improving our app. Thanks, FacundoFormat different on widget?
I paid for premium to use the widget feature and wanted the countdown in weeks but it shows the countdown in days instead even when selecting weeks in the app, is there a way to fix this? Otherwise love the simplicity of the app design! Thanks!loloscho
Developer Response
Hi loloscho, To change the unit format on the widget: long press on the widget, then tap edit widget, and then tap where it says units and select the combination that's best for you. If you have any questions please send us an email to countdown@findappiness.co Cheers, FacundoLove but needs improvements
I love this app, it helps with my time blindness and is a much better way of perceiving how far away something is than a traditional calendar. I love the emojis and the colors too, making it more fun. The widget is so great for both my lock & home screen, I can always see what’s coming up next.
I think it needs three improvements though that would make it perfect.
1) (less important) Keep memory of previously used colors so events of the same kind are the exact same color. For example when I put in my psych appointments I always have to try and match the same shade I did for the last one, and it’s never a 100% match.
2) (more important) Allow for custom repeats of events. Currently it only allows for yearly repeats. I would love if you could do monthly or weekly or bi-weekly… basically custom repeats. Like a monthly call or walk with a friend. You could require an end date within the calendar year so that it doesn’t create an infinite number of events, and then recreate it the next year.
3) (most important) Allow for a little description box for each event. For example a doctor’s appointment event would be handy to have a description box where I can put the address and then I can easily find it when I need it.Show lesslanep79
Nice and Easy
I am a constant user of the app. Lately I had noticed that the dates are not in order. Means some of the ‘Days Left’ is still behind ‘Days ago’ and not updating even after days. Developer please note this
When I followed the developer’s instructions my problem sorted out.rbabyvlk
Developer Response
Hi rbabyvlk, Thanks for your feedback. Have you tried tapping on Sort in the top left corner of the app, and then selecting "Sort from Soonest to Furthest"? That should order your events by date automatically. If you reorder one of your events manually, the events won't sort themselves automatically anymore (because they'd override your manual changes). If you have any feedback or questions please send us an email to countdown@findappiness.co Thanks, FacundoSuper good app, used free version for years
I’ve been using this app to countdown since I was in high school, so future field trips and homecoming were put in it. I’m now in college and it has worked as well as ever- these days they are used for (sorority) formal and when I take the MCAT. It is great to use to gauge time, especially as an ADHD-diagnosed student.
I love the simple layout of this app and the easy personalizations with colors and emoji. I never paid for the paid version and did not have a problem, albeit things like widgets weren’t a thing back in 2016. Am definitely going to get the paid version, which has no ads and other little benefits, just because I do mind ads more than I did back then.Show lessstarlight221
App is very mid, not worth the money upgrading
If you don’t buy you can’t use the app how you’d like, same if you do buy.
I paid thinking it was going to get me a live countdown widget since u can specify the measurement (years months hours seconds etc) when u place the widget tho it just says days. Paid for nothing, idk why I bothered paying way overpriced and bad app. Im desperate for something to be in my face and remind me about deadlines. What a waste of money.
I’m sure there’s similarly named apps that are more versatile for free.Show lessElshaharvey !4!6/)£
Developer Response
Hi Elshaharvey !4!6/)£, You can choose the units on our home screen widget. We are working on enabling this on the lock screen widget too. To display different units: long press on the widget, then tap edit widget, and then tap where it says units and select the combination that's best for you. Please let me know if you have any questions. Cheers, FacundoBest countdown app + feature request
This is the best one I’ve found. Works great and can even customize whether it displays weeks, days months years etc when selecting the countdown. Would be awesome to have different lists, mine is getting long and they’re not all related. Lists you can swipe left and right to see would be a great addition! Thank you for listening!Show lessXII_12
