Lock screen widget keeps going blank
Every few days the lock screen widget will go blank and the only way to fix it is to remove the widget, put a different widget from another app in its place, exit configuration mode, re-enter configuration mode, and then swap back to the countdowns widget. Tapping the widget to open the app doesn’t refresh the widget. Perhaps this is punishment because I’m not a Premium subscriber? The ads are annoying, especially the video ads that suddenly pop up and play a video that cannot be dismissed. It feels very very wrong and violating. If this happens more, I may need to find another app. Would gladly pay a one off fee just to get rid of the ads. I don’t need access to the Premium features; I just don’t want ads on my phone.

does the job and more
very good app while it's not fully customizable as i would like it to it doesn't have any issues
you can lightly customize the font and color of the countdown but very basic
if your looking for full customization this is not for you

This app doesn’t give you an notification
When your time is finish, it doesn’t give your notification. I work as a construction site manager and thought this would be good. Wouldn’t recommend you pay for this let alone use it unless you want to constantly remind yourself you have to open the app to check it

Modern and effective
Simple yet configurable. So well made and perfect for my needs to countdown to a variety of events.
I use it to maintain a countdown to different trips I am going on, having this at a glance on my lock-screen gives me optimism as I have something to look forward to. On grey cold days I can see that I go on holiday in “22 days” and it’s awesome to see.

Amazing!
This is by far the best “countdown” app I’ve ever used. The in-app purchase is totally optional but also totally worth it. The app keeps it simple and doesn’t overwhelm with unnecessary features, but also clearly stays up to date (love the iOS 16 Lock Screen widgets!!)
Perfect
Exactly what I wanted. A simple countdown app that supports the new ios 16 lock screen widgets. I was making an "aesthetic" christmas lock screen and home screen and I wanted a little countdown that I could use for Christmas and this app did exactly that. Just shows the emoji and days and I love it. Thank you so much.

Great app!!!
I love this app and use it frequently. Just wish in the app it would be organized by countdown not most recently created.
Simple with enough customization
I tried a few similar apps and this was the winner. I bought the upgrade. Easy to enter. COMPACT listing on screen widget which allows 3-4 events to show. I have 2 widgets in first screen of iPhone with enough room to add 2 rows of apps/groups below. My keep-it-simple husband, after viewing my set up downloaded the basic app and is quite satisfied. NOTE: For me, it was a bit confusing that I had to “move” events with my finger for chrono order. New entries go to the bottom. Maybe I’m doing something wrong BUT dropping to the bottom makes sense if someone wants to prioritize reminders vs listing in chrono-order. EG upcoming vacation in 2 months is above next week’s dental appointment. TIP: when moving a record, after holding finger to activate move feature, direct your finger to move the record along the left side of screen. For me, easier than getting past the other records. After dropping, give it a few seconds to anchor. It’s easy to think it did not move properly.

Gets all the little details right
There’s a million countdown apps in the store, I’m glad I finally found one that nails it
Upgrade is definitely worth it, let’s me see countdowns (or count ups) on my phone and Apple Watch at a glance with custom colours and in different lists/folders
Using to mostly keep track of work deadlines and time until my next vacation, nice compact view with different colours

Like the options
Plenty of options. I like being able to set how each countdown/up shows days, months, years individually rather than one setting for every countdown. The widgets are great along with the colors. It’s the best countdown around
