  • The talk to much

    This app has been very helpful for me I can type in things and it will tell me when it will happen if you hate adds there are only like a little amount of adds and some of the apps can tell me like I just downloaded a new app that it helps me calm down so this app is very helpful like I said.I can type in like a b-day cause I’m very forgetful and I can check it will tell me how long and when.
    Thanks for reading

  • Nice and Easy, Maybe a Little Tweaking

    For the most part, I enjoy this app. It’s very intuitive when it comes to adding countdowns and requires no guidance during using. The widget is simple and attractive, something very important to me. I also appreciate devs who release a free version to preview functionality. I chose to upgrade (very reasonable) whereas I likely would not have paid the same price simply for access.

    A few existing features could use updating, but don’t impede overall functionality. The month and year occasionally reset to what’s current when choosing an end date. For picky people like me, saving colors or allowing Hex codes would be valuable. It’s frustratingly easy to move the color picker when trying to use the shade slider.

    A few feature addition recommendations/asks: adjustable text size, customizable default for YMWDHMS display preference, categories.

  • So thankful for this!!!!

    The only thing you want to be careful with is that for some reason if you open the app up from the widget and you had an event listed for that day for some reason it will disappear? So make sure you ONLY read your reminders from your widget and DON'T open it unless you already have seen what your event is for that same day. Is this a glitch? Would be a PERFECT APP otherwise. LOVE LOVE LOVE this app!!!

  • Widget

    I really like the format of this app, but after purchasing the pro version I can’t seem to figure out how to open the widget?? I feel kind of dumb, but I’ve tried to open it from the App Store page, I’ve been trying to figure it out from inside the app but there’s no option, I don’t really know what to do. When I click on the website for the app, it takes me to the app instead of the website. Can I get some help with troubleshooting this?

  • Easy to use

    I tried one just a few min ago but it was difficult to use and kept trying to get me to get premium for $20 a year! I went back to write a review and it was gone.

    ANYWAY, I got this one and it’s very easy to use and you can pick emoji and color to make each reminder unique. Also you can sort your reminders manually or just from soonest to furthest away. If you DO want their premium it’s only $3 one time payment. I’ll see how I like it for now.

    4 stars because I’d like to have the ability to enter past dates and celebrate the time SINCE that date. It’ll let you enter a past year but it’ll save as the current year. Also 4 stars because I feel like the date setting format could be a little easier. I think a scroll for month day and year is simple enough.

    Anyway I recommend this app. Simple and works.

  • Great App

    Just downloaded the app and then purchased the upgrade. Overall I’m very satisfied with the app and the widget. I also find it easy to use and has a lot of useful features. I would like to see it have a space where you can add notes. I believe that this feature would be very beneficial to many people Including myself.

  • Basically costs $2.99

    The App Store page is up front about Add Widgets to Home Screen* being a *Premium Feature. It doesn’t specify that you are stuck with this format in the free version: “Pick a format” 0 years, 0 months, 15 days, 23 hours, 36 minufes, 29 seconds . Weeks are also available, but any changes require you to Upgrade for $2.99. Inside the app, the number of Days remaining is shown, so I’m guessing this format applies to the notifications, which can be at One Week and/or One day. This app with extremely basic functionality is ad. supported and wants to Track My Activity Across Apps and Web Pages (to sell my data, most likely) which alone should be worth access to all features. Perhaps in 2022, $2.99 is the new 0.99¢

    Developer Response

    Hi MaybeAfterLunch, Almost all the features in our app are free while seeing ads, except for the widget and custom format. You can add as many events as you like, set reminders, pick any background color, repeat yearly and sync with iCloud all for free. The kind of format you are mentioning is a preview in the settings of each countdown so that users can understand how the premium custom format feature works. On the list section you will be shown days most of the times because it would be really hard to accommodate for different kinds of custom formats on that screen. On the detailed view of each countdown is where we show a detailed view, with all units except weeks in the free version, and this is where you can customise which units you see by upgrading (as well as unlocking the widget). We've been working on this app for over three years, so asking for a one time payment in return of premium features doesn't seem unreasonable to us. Thanks to the users that upgrade to the premium version we are able to keep improving the app for everyone. Thanks, Facundo
  • Awesome application but would like more options

    This application does exactly what it says it will do. I would like to see something that would allow me to customize beyond the day of the week to count. My use case is actually picking a date and picking the days between that day and today; i.e. retirement counter that I could put in my PTO and holidays to get actual days left to work.

  • A bit buggy

    The app is a fantastic concept. Especially for those who have ADHD or executive function challenges that cause time blindness. The execution has a couple flaws, the overview of timers reflects an inaccurate time; for instance, if you have a timer set for 1 hr and 4 minutes from now then on the overview with the display of all your timers, that time will say 2 hrs left… a bit of a design flaw for something that is a countdown app to help people gauge time… it would be very beneficial for the developers to make the font for remaining time smaller and then more frequently update at shorter intervals or display and analog count down that reflects time remaining in red or whatever color theme you selected. Would also be nice to have the ability to create an organizational scheme such as: set a timer for 1 hour, break down the hour in various intervals (5, 10, 15), rather than individual intervals—enabling a cleaner UI and ability to create sub tasks is what I would consider a must.

  • Best Free Countdown App

    I’ve been using this app a little over two years & it has ALWAYS been quality!! There are ads, but they are always short and really don’t pop up too often. The app allows you to customize so much about the countdown screen, making things even more fun and pleasing to look at! Solid app for no payment.
