### 4/5 — Love the app, but more widget options please

*2026-01-08, version 8.14.2*

I want to see more than just 4 countdowns. Or be able to select which countdowns I want to see. That way I could do multiple widgets with different countdowns. Other than that it is a 5/5 app.

### 3/5 — Opción para repetir cada periodo:

*2025-07-24, version 8.14.2*

Debería darnos la opción de poder hacer “Repetitivos” algunos de manera diaria o semanal o mensual, de manera que se puedan reprogramar solos sin tener que ponerlos cada día o cada semana o cada mes el mismo evento.

### 1/5 — Hasn’t been updated in 4 years

*2025-03-05, version 8.14.2*

This app used to be great, but it hasn’t been updated in 4 years. Something is off with it where it changes the dates in the background without you messing with it.

### 1/5 — You can’t do anything

*2024-10-13, version 8.14.2*

The app doesn’t let you enter your own. When you hit the add sign, it just makes up random ones

### 1/5 — cadê o widget?

*2024-05-21, version 8.14.2*

Cara pelo santa paciência, só uso o app pelo widget e você compra para não poder usar o widget, resolvam isso, pois pagamos para usar a versão normal desse jeito.

### 1/5 — Non riesco ad impostare i widget

*2024-05-01, version 8.14.2*

:(

### 5/5 — Love this app but wish it had the option to show months or years

*2024-03-16, version 8.14.2*

The only thing missing on this app is rather than seeing 90 days show 3 months. Or 1100 days see 3 years 5 days.

### 1/5 — Ultimo aggiornamento 3 anni fa

*2024-03-07, version 8.14.2*

Se può migliorare se ne avete voglia

### 1/5 — Not working

*2024-01-03, version 8.14.2*

Added my dates and it worked for two days.  Now the widget will not count down!

### 5/5 — Great days-countdown

*2023-10-03, version 8.14.2*

Great app.
I have been using the full version for 4-5 years to count down to birthdays, holidays, xmas etc.

It be even beter of you would have an option to count on weeks, months and years.
I gave countdowns such as “my son is 1232 days old” and “i have been together with my girlfriend since … days”
These could benefit from “years” and “months”
