Mostly Works
I really like the cloud sync and ability to add multiple event countdown timers to the app.
It does have it’s problems. The widgets may not work right after you install the app. I had to reboot my phone to make them available.
The app is a pricey. I don’t lease apps so to use all of its features I’d need to lay down a nice sum.

Solid but Not Great
First, the Developer has done a good job by adding widgets and complications across all devices...something his competitors lack.
I'm not a fan of the limited icons and would really like to be able to choose custom graphics on the iPhone and iPad. Where the icons should be limited (or even removed) is the watch complication where a single, standard icon or lack thereof (user choice) is warranted.
The subscription model is a little disappointing for this app but I guess $20 for a lifetime unlock isn't horrible if the interface is cleaned up a bit.
Ultimately it offers a lot and I'd be inclined to rate it higher with a bit of UI polish. If you're looking for a countdown app that covers all the bases,this is really your only choice but there are "prettier" ones out there

The Perfect Countdown App
For a while now I’ve been looking for a countdown app that gets everything right.
#1 syncs using iCloud across iPhone, iPad, Mac & Apple Watch.
#2 has widgets for iPhone, iPad, Mac & complications for the Watch.
#3 offers a lifetime purchase option
This app has all these things and more, so thanks for that!
One feature that I really wish would be added is to be able to select which countdowns show up on the Apple Watch complication.

Basically perfect...except
This app has all the bells and whistles needed for a serious countdown tracker. Especially the iCloud sync and corresponding desktop app are critical and are features unique to this app. ONLY THING MISSING: I want to use pictures sometimes instead of the icon and flat color!!!
Horrendous Privacy For a Countdown App!
I used this app for years. Really thought it was great. Since Apple recently started requiring developers to state their privacy policy, I checked in today to see this app’s policy.
Turns out that they are using identifiers to track you! This is a countdown app. Why does a countdown app need to track me? It counts down. That’s all it does. Insane.
Immediate uninstall, and honestly I’m sorry I ever had this app which tracks me on my phone in the first place.
I encourage everyone to not download this app or delete it if you already have, unless and until the developer rewrites their app to be free of all identifiers and trackers.

Fantastic App
This is the most powerful countdown timer app. I would like to see options added for CSV import/export, multiple calendar item import, calendar syncing, and more options for coloring events. The developer is very responsive.
Pretty Wordy
It’s quite good, and actually works, but it’s really wordy, and you can’t use the smallest widget because it’s so wordy.
Very impressed
Really enjoying using this app and upgraded to the lifetime license. The only thing missing for me is the badge facility on the homepage to draw my attention to an upcoming event. Hopefully this can be added in the future.
Great app but would love more features
Great app especially for sync mac iphone. I do wish there were more features like customisations of color, having grouped countdowns so not all in one which will come in handy for the iphone widget e.g i like to want to seperate my college due date countdowns from others like birthday events.
Response from developer
Thanks for using the app! For premium users we offer separating into lists. Turn on the lists option in settings/preferences and then assign lists when creating/editing countdowns
Widget not updating
I love this app and the widget function is great. Recently however I’ve noticed that the countdown in the widget is not auto refreshing. If I tap on the widget it goes into the app and then updates. Not ideal, please fix
Response from developer
I’ve made some further improvements to widget refreshing in version 6.4.4. Please update and let me know if you continue to have issues. Thank you!
