Really Enjoying It

I downloaded the app about a month ago. I really like that I can choose between all days or just work days. I’m retiring in December and to see the work days, hours and minutes. Thank you.

Love it but…

I love being able to toggle back-and-forth between total days and workdays and really appreciate being able to adjust, workdays by holidays and any upcoming personal vacation time. My hiccup is that those personal and vacation days seem to not always be reflected when I open up the app. I’ll try to open, close, reopen toggle back-and-forth, and sometimes those days are reflected in my total workdays left and other times they’re not. I can’t figure out how to get it to stay consistently reflecting ing them.

Mrs. M.

I set this up about a month ago and added days off into the holiday section because I couldn't get the vacation hours to work. I am a teacher so we have this whole week off, yet it's still counting them down. It will not be accurate based on the retirement date I put in. Otherwise, I liked it until this week.

Vacation Days

I just downloaded this app yesterday and have 4 years to retirement. I included my vacation hours in the settings, however, it doesn’t seem to recognize them in the countdown. Please explain. Thanks!

Great little app.

I like that I can change it to number of work days or calendar days.

Count down

I like that the app shows actual work days until an event minus holidays and vacation but there is an issue with the total number of work days calculating correctly during working hours. During the working hours it adds back in your vacation hours. When you’ve completed your work hours for the day then it subtracts your vacation hours out.

Hello, thanks for bringing this to my attention. It looks like the data wasn't getting its way back to the timer effectively. The apps been redone to fix this in the next version (2.1.3). It should be fixed, but if this or anything else pops up please reach out. Thank you again!

Nice looking app, simple

I like the features, but wonder why there’s a place to enter vacation hours when it doesn’t have any effect on the remaining work days in the countdown? Ideally, those would be subtracted the same as holidays.

Hello! Thanks for bringing this up. It looks like the data wasn't updating from the settings. I've redone the app to fix this in the new (2.1.3) version. This should be fixed now, but if this or anything else comes up please feel free to reach out again. Thanks again!

Basic countdown app

Just set this up today. I’m about 4 years out from retirement. Feature request: for total time until retirement, I’d like the option yo see years listed so I’m not depressed about over a thousand days left!
Also, it’s hard to see the background through the box which surrounds the text. Can we just have text on the background without a hazy box around it?

Hello. I like these suggestions and I'll address them one at a time. As for the hazy background, something is needed to see the text clearly. I've tried to make it more see through in the latest (2.1.3) version, and the text darker. I'll keep playing with it. I have a few ideas but its a challenge to make the text visible for every background. For the years, thats a good idea. Thats something I can add to the road map. Thanks for the feedback, it really is appreciated.
