Count Time User Reviews

Simplicity

Very useful app, uncomplicated and nice interface make it easy to use.

It would be nice if when you shared an event in a message you wouldn’t only get text but the image also.

But as I said really useful especially being able to have countdown widgets.

Times are weird

It seems that the times are jumping ahead for the countdowns. I have them set to midnight and when I save they jump to 1am. It just started happening and it messes up timing. I would contact through app support but it requires the mail app to be redownloaded.

Hi, thank you for your feedback. I will review the issues you are mentioning to fix them. Please share more details if possible through the app contact section.

This app is starting to get buggy

It seems that the app keeps closing out when I am looking at a countdown for too long. I have added more countdowns so the app could be overloaded and I believe this has happend once before as then the app got updated. I saw that the last update was 5 months ago, I hope this bug can get fixed soon.
Edit 19/08/2024: I would say more about this bug in the app but I can’t get the app open on my phone long enough to do so. I added more counters on the phone app as I deleted the iPad app due to the bug, but it started to behave the same way.

Not able to add to my Lock Screen

Pointless when you can’t even add it to your Lock Screen or wallpaper.

Update: never mind I think I got it working lol

I'm glad you found the solution! In case you want to request any new feature you can do it in the contact option within the app. Thank you for using Count Time :)

Nice.

Cancel that old review. The app has now gone over to In App Purchases. I wont be updating the app for that. And I’ll start looking for a new app.

Thanks for nothing.

Old Review.
The app works well. Nice design, and not complicated to set-up. I wouldn’t mind paying for the app, if it had more features. Not IAP’s though. Stuff that. It would be nice to have choices about which time scales to use. ie., To be able to show how long in hours, or days, or even seconds. Just for added functionality. Maybe a checklist of choices for time scales? The widget is also a little bit vague. Says 1 month, but it’s about 50 days to my trip. I need to open the app to get better accuracy. Not a big problem, but it makes the widget a bit pointless. Overall, this app is better than all the other choices I’ve seen. Especially the count-up timer, which is what I specifically wanted.

We recognize that this change impacts how you use the app and might lead you to consider other options. However, we believe that the value provided by the new features, including the ones added based on user feedback, justifies this new model.

Thank you for your past support, and we hope to have the opportunity to win back your trust in the future.

Just what I'm looking for

This timer also begins counting up so you can tell how much time has elapsed since the event. I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. Just what I wanted! Thanks!

If Apple Made a Countdown App

Easy to use, very similar look to built in apps like reminders and calendar. I’ve downloaded probably 3-4 reminders apps and this is the one I’m going to keep. Also appreciate that it has no in app purchases, although adding an option to send a tip would be a feature I’d absolutely use Three feature requests: 1. Allow “all day events” similar to how calendar has all day events (pick default all day notification time in settings probably) 2. Let users pick what dates of time to use (ex: I want it to show checkboxes for each unit of time. Which would be especially useful customization for the widget as well. 3. Allow custom repeat (like in calendar as well). 4. Add custom and multiple alerts.

Good

Thanks

Great app

The app does exactly what I hoped it would do: it shows a time countdown widget on the lock screen! The UI is clean and simple.

The only improvement I’d love to see is a fractional display of hours remaining. E.g. when there’s 5 hours 55 minutes remaining, the app shows “5 Hours Left”. It would be great if the display was a bit more precise and showed something like “5¾ hours left” instead.

Thank you for using Count Time! More time display options are coming soon and I will consider your feedback :)

Good idea, poorly executed.

The app looks really promising—clean and fairly intuitive UX. Unfortunately, it is very crude in the presentation of the countdown. What I mean is this. You can program a target date of say 55 days in the future. Unless, you are actually on the detail page of this countdown within the app, in ALL other areas, including the widgets, you will see 1 month displayed as the countdown period. Meaning the app somehow rounds down the actual countdown period, so you don’t actually see the 55 days. This is a huge disappointment. If people are using this for a countdown, then most of us probably would like a more accurate countdown display.
