### 4/5 — Really good app!!

*2026-07-02, version 1.15.2*

This app is soooo helpful for when you have to know how many days are left until an event. The only thing I wish it had is a place to look up a specific picture your looking for to Mach your event. Instead of having to look for it. But other than that it is an awesome app!😁

### 4/5 — So cute

*2026-03-05, version 1.15.2*

So cute

### 4/5 — Good

*2026-02-11*

Could add more designs

### 5/5 — Meraviglia

*2025-11-11, version 1.15.2*

Averla come widget nella home del mio telefono è davvero bello! Ha una grafica molto carina!

### 5/5 — Please bring more icons and animations

*2025-10-31*

What a beautiful app❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — LOVE THIS AND BEEN USING IT FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW

*2025-10-29, version 1.15.2*

I’m using this app to countdown on paydays, special events, birthdays, and other occasions. Love this app

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-10-04, version 1.15.2*

Can’t wait for Christmas

### 3/5 — Hard to navigate

*2025-10-03, version 1.15.2*

On my computer at least— I can’t scroll to different icons when making my events.

### 2/5 — เตือนทุกวัน

*2025-09-29, version 1.15.2*

อยากให้ขึ้นเตือนทุกวัน ระบบ widget อยากให้ขึ้นเป็นตารางทุก event ที่เราใส่ ไม่จำเป็นต้องแยกทีละ widget

### 5/5 — Cute App

*2025-09-16*

Cute and aesthetic app with cute widgets to remind you about important events

### 5/5 — Incredible & Adorable

*2025-08-16, version 1.15.2*

I got this app to help me keep track of birthdays, only to discover it has WAY more than that. 
I can use it to count how many days since I met my best friend. This is so cute to be able to track
I can write notes in each countdown I do, so I can keep track of likes and dislikes for birthdays.
I could probably, honestly, use it as a period tracker if I got creative enough. Like, days since last period.
I love the artwork for the app as well! I wish it was slightly organized better, showcasing all of them in a long scroll not side scroll, but other than that I'm cool with it. I like also that I can write myself reminders too!
I'm using it currently to track how long till I get more income, or when my weekly budget resets. I will see how it goes
Genuinely recommend the app because it's so cute and no ads after the initial money of $4, maybe $4.50 with tax, depending on it.

### 5/5 — Cutest app ever

*2025-08-11*

I love this app. It syncs between Mac and iPhone perfectly.

### 5/5 — cute

*2025-08-03, version 1.15.2*

cute

### 5/5 — Super cute goal planner

*2025-07-12*

This app is really the most beautiful way to keep track of goals and events. I love the whimsical drawings, the texts and the ease of use 🤩🤩🤩

### 4/5 — Hermosa

*2025-06-25, version 1.15.2*

Es una app que me ha acompañado en mi etapa universitaria , eso si nunca he sabido como mover el numero de la fecha independientemente

### 4/5 — Adorable, Uplifting, and Almost Perfect!

*2025-06-12, version 1.15.2*

I absolutely love the Bears Countdown app, it’s beautifully designed and has such a comforting, whimsical feel. The illustrated bears for each event add a personal, joyful touch, and the widget makes it easy to stay excited about upcoming moments.

A few small wishes that could make this app truly perfect:
	•	I’d love the ability to configure countdown/count-up units (e.g., see time in years, weeks, months, or even hours).
	•	It would be great to have an optional listing widget to show multiple upcoming events at once.
	•	Viewing all events and history in one unified list (instead of switching tabs) or even toggling between grid and list view would be a really helpful improvement.

Still, this app is a gem and a pleasure to use. Thank you for creating something so delightful and thoughtfully designed!

### 5/5 — Widgets are great but sorting is a pain

*2025-06-09, version 1.15.2*

This app is fantastic we just need to do some updates. I only have 2 available events but the widgets show all my past events. Its a hassle to sort through

### 5/5 — Free, Cute, Effortless and Enjoyable

*2025-06-08, version 1.15.2*

This gorgeous app is everything I think apps shoudl aim for.

Free.  Simple.  Beautifully presented, so straightforward to use, no pesty adds.

Great.  Thank you!

### 5/5 — An actual review

*2025-06-05, version 1.15.2*

I personally rely on calendars and apps to tell me when I have things because I always forget when/ where I have stuff like appointments and parties this app if you didn’t read the top basically counts down from the dates you put in you can title them and change the lil background to resonate with the thing your doing you can have repeating ones for birthdays or anniversary’s and I think it’s really fun to count down on stuff like your birthday or an Amazon package it just adds a little something to your day to know your birthday is 70 days away and your Amazon package is coming today 

Overall this is a good app for someone who all really has a habit of putting things into a calendar or is really really determined to start I wouldn’t recommend it to someone who doesn’t really use a calendar because I tried this a few years ago when I didn’t already use a calendar and just didn’t use it but now I’ve come to love it’s illustrations and count downs  

thanks for reading this long rant though byeee

### 1/5 — theyre making you pay for this now

*2025-06-24, version 1.15.2*

a once free widget now comes at a cost. all this does is count down to a certain day with drawn images. the most useless purchase a person could make, just create a reminder on your computer instead

### 1/5 — Unauthorised Subscription

*2025-04-27, version 1.15.2*

Just downloaded the apps and there is no show subscription fees needed for the apps or the theme. 
One hour later, I received a sms that my card was charged due to the apps subscription fee. 
Please update the bug for the above. 
Thanks.

### 1/5 — App does not appear in widgets list

*2024-05-27, version 1.15.2*

Got it for the widgets but it does not appear in the list of apps that have widgets available.

### 1/5 — Too much to pay

*2023-09-27, version 1.14.3*

You can only have 5 free and wen it’s stop you can’t havé 1+

### 1/5 — Worst support ever

*2023-09-04, version 1.14.3*

I purchased the full version couple of years ago. Changed my phone and it wouldn’t restore previous purchases. Emailed support and it’s been a month but no response. IMO these companies are only good when they newly launch an App. Once they got enough customers, they don’t care about supporting them with any issues.

### 1/5 — Cute but then they not free anymore

*2023-08-16, version 1.14.3*

App free at first but then they started to charge u. 🤬🤬😡😡

### 1/5 — ทำไมยังขึ้นจ่ายอยู่อีก

*2023-08-12, version 1.14.3*

คือซื้อไปแล้วในไอแพด พอโหลดแอพลงในโทรศัพท์ แต่ยังขึ้นให้จ่ายอยู่ คือที่จ่ายไป99฿นี่ ไม่ได้ติดที่ไอดีหรอ สรุปติดที่ไอแพด ถ้าเปลี่ยนเครื่องใช้ คือต้องสมัครใหม่งี้หรอ ???????

### 1/5 — Limited Functions in Free App

*2023-07-18, version 1.14.3*

I could only create 4 events before I had to pay for "Bears Unlimited". I am disappointed as this app has a lovely purpose and beautiful designs.

### 1/5 — Cute app, but...

*2023-06-27, version 1.14.3*

Absolutely ZERO support from the developer. I have written numerous times about the opening splash screen which can only be dismissed by clicking on it and then clicking to the section wanted. No repsonse. It is aggravating.
Otherwise a useful and cute app...

### 1/5 — Not free

*2023-06-03, version 1.14.3*

No mention of payment in app description. Used to be free but requires you to pay now if you want to use it. Only download if you want to pay for it

### 5/5 — Best todo-widget app there is!
