### 5/5 — Great Countdown Timer for Calendar Events

*2025-02-01*

I have been looking for a widget like this to have a countdown to important calendar events on my desktop and this widget fits the bill perfectly.

### 4/5 — good

*2024-08-22*

Its cute i don't mind it

### 1/5 — missing features

*2024-06-05*

I think they removed the ability to have the countdown which was literally the reason why I downloaded this...

**Developer response:** The app does count down, could you drop a mail to feedback@sasthiah.com, so that we can help resolve the issue you are facing

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2024-04-13*

This is a pretty cool app for enabling desktop (and phone) widgets based on your calendar(s).  I have separate widgets for different calendars - very useful.

### 5/5 — This is it. This is your app for a life better organized

*2024-04-12*

This is exactly what I've been looking for years and years. I've spent so much time looking, trying different apps, more $$s than I should have for subscriptions for this very feature, but found none. Actually, I found one but it was so buggy that I limit my usage. ...then I found this app! Just so perfect for keeping up with my schedules and still being able to use the native calendar app & icloud cals for data sync. 
Thanks for making this app! I'm telling my friends about this app!

### 5/5 — actually good

### 5/5 — So Helpful Calendar Widgets

*2024-03-02*

### 4/5 — Almost exactly right

*2023-10-30*

Love this app to create countdown and event lists. Almost perfect for me but would like the option to to theme. Eg fonts choice, headings

### 5/5 — Sleek And Neat

*2023-01-28*

This is a very handy productivity tool which bridges the gap between calendar, reminder alarms. The UI is very clean and user friendly.

Options such as bulk update is well thought through. Interoperability across platforms helps me access my reminders when I’m at work or in bed.

In all I would recommend the app to anyone looking for an app to keep track of their short and long term events.
