Amazing free app

So easy to use and free home screen widgets when every other app you have to pay premium prices. Now I can countdown to Disney world!

Glad to hear and thanks a lot for taking the time to leave a review. Have a great time in Disney world!

Seriously the best!

I really can’t believe this app is free and you won’t believe it either. And no I’m honestly not paid to say this but I would say it for free and I guess I am. You can put your own picture in there you can have a live countdown I have five in there so far and I haven’t seen anything telling me I can’t have more.
There are widgets although I can’t seem to get the one on my watch to work I don’t know why. But they have really cool widgets on your phone. I do wish you could put two events on there instead of one or multiple if you have multiple but I’m fine with the way it is. And you can share it to Facebook or other social media. Even to groups. I got on here originally because of my high school reunion but now I’m going to use this for everything!

Wow what an incredible review! You've made our day! Glad to know you're enjoying the app. Completely agree showing more events on the widget would be great, we'll look at adding this in an upcoming update. Also to make events easier to share, thanks a lot for this feedback and feel free to message anytime if you have more! Thanks a lot!

Could be good

Great idea, good execution. But forces paid subscription version after trial. A paid subscription to do a countdown?… I’d maybe pay a couple bucks for a one time purchase, a subscription model is ridiculous - *app deleted*

This has now been fixed in the recent release - please update the app! It was an issue where Apple made an update to the weather feature which was causing the crash

What’s the Point

Advertising yourself as a free countdown app when it is not is shameful. And to have all of my countdowns suddenly be completely blocked by a ‘pay or else’ screen is frustrating. I was able to watch an ad once for a free week. I would’ve kept doing that. That’s not an option anymore for some reason. No point, I tried to stick around. It’s only getting worse.

Better than my old countdown app

Review for Outdoor Countdown I decided to download Outdoor Countdown today, and it has not disappointed so far. This app makes tracking my events incredibly easy and even allows me to merge calendars seamlessly. However, I have a few suggestions for improvement: 1. **Memories Tab:** It would be fantastic to have a separate map feature that displays pictures and locations of the places I've visited, even after the event has passed. 2. **Notepad Feature:** Adding a notepad to write reflections or notes after events would be a great addition.

Really happy to hear you're enjoying the app and finding it useful for your events. These suggestions are fantastic and we'll add them to our community board of ideas as I am sure other users will also want them. Thanks for taking the time!

Exceptional

Syncs with Calendar flawlessly, choose which items to import and which ones not to.

Awesome to hear! So happy to know you're using Calendar Sync and it's helpful for you. Let us know if we can ever improve the app for you!

Exactly what I was looking for

Was searching for a countdown widget app for an upcoming event I’m excited about. All the other apps I tried you have to get the premium version to use the widgets (I get you need to make money but that’s dumb). Saw your post on Reddit and tried this app out. Very easy to use and the widget is included in the free version. I also like that you can set daily reminders to keep you excited about whatever you’re counting down to. I highly recommend, well done.

Confusing Pricing 👎

In the time that I downloaded and used this app, the price for it has gone up and changed AT LEAST 3 TIMES!! What used to be one price is now 3 TIMES HIGHER than what it used to be. Also, it seems like features that used to be included in certain lower-price tiers are now locked behind higher-priced, subscription-only tiers which essentially forces a person to pay more for what they used to get for less. After the last update, you can’t even open the app anymore without paying up. It’s all very confusing and completely ridiculous!! 👎

Greatest Countdown App yet!

This app was amazing, help me set up my trip with all of my friends. I was looking for a widget to keep track of my trip with all of my friends that I have known since 2017 and still haven’t ever met! We’re so excited for this trip and I wanted a app that would allow me to have a widget without any cost! Thank you so much, I recommend this app to anyone who wants a great countdown app!
