### 3/5 — Naja.

*2025-09-06*

Ich finde man könnte mehrere Datume so zu sagen machen weil eine App runterzuladen die Speicher nimmt für ein einziges Datum ist mir bisschen frech ich finde man sollte mehrere dazu nehmen

### 5/5 — Very useful, but...

*2025-04-16*

This will countdown to many events, though it shows only four.  That's fine.  However, if you travel and it involves the international date line, you may need to reset all your dates as the app charges the dates by one day.  On return from Australia, this happened to me.  Nbd but be aware of it.

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-04-16*

Good

### 2/5 — Counts only until a date, not from a date

*2024-02-14*

I installed to count the days FROM a specific date but it is not possible. It can only count days UNTIL a specific date. Would have it been that hard to add this function? 😩

### 5/5 — love it, one thing missing though

*2024-01-29, version 8.14.2*

this is my all time favourite app, in it’s simplicity and mindfullness. there always is something to wait for and I’ve been counting down to things for over 10 years now. it would be amazing if there was an option on recording your past events, so you could see what have you been waiting for, say, 6 years ago.

### 5/5 — Does exactly what you expect

*2023-11-01*

Been using for 1,495 days (over 4 years) and thought I should give it a review. App is simple, rock solid and never crashes.

Only feature that I would like is to be able to select specific events (not all) and then have the widget on my homepage show a random one when I open my phone.

### 5/5 — Dúvida

*2023-07-18*

Como colocar como wedget?

### 5/5 — 깔끔한 인터페이스!!

*2023-03-02*

오래전에 구입해서 지금까지 잘 사용하고 있는 디데이 어플입니다. 심플하고 깔끔한 인터페이스를 좋아하시는 분에게 강추합니다!!

### 5/5 — Day counter

*2022-06-13, version 8.14.2*

Used as a day number in each year. Light. Excellent. Needed for watch too

### 1/5 — All entries have disappeared since the update.

*2022-02-01*

My entries have disappeared since the update.

Now the free version became the compulsion to buy a paid version. Without any announcement. This is a cheek.
