The customization is really great compared to other apps and I didn’t mind the $4 I paid, thinking I’d be able to add the widgets…disappointing. ### 3/5 — Great count down clock but….. *2025-11-04, version 12.2* Love the countdown clock, but it needs to be shown horizontally. I hate to turn my iPad to enjoy. Fix it! ### 2/5 — Promising but flawed *2021-04-16, version 9.0* I wanted to love this app. It has the ability to add a photo, but it will not let you add your own photo. Most of the time, it will not let you change to One of the app's stock photos. There are no tutorials or help feature to trouble shoot. You can share with friends if they also purchase the app. ### 5/5 — Good *2020-05-29, version 8.8* This is JUST what I was looking for! I can countdown to ANYTHING and put any pic I want. Very easy to use. ### 5/5 — Denis *2020-05-29, version 8.8* This app is great, I love how simple it is... ### 5/5 — This app is great, I love how simple it is... *2020-05-29, version 8.8* This app is great, I love how simple it is... ### 5/5 — Артём *2020-05-29, version 8.8* Good ### 5/5 — Tory *2020-05-29, version 8.8* It’s very good. I really like this app. It gives you the freedom to customize, and the interface is simple and user friendly. ### 5/5 — Good *2020-05-29, version 8.8* Nice looking, fun, but makes my stomach turn when I see how many days till retirement! Lol. Not super fancy but it does what I want it to. Facebook post works great. Not sure what the one star reviews are about; perhaps they had the wrong idea of what this app is supposed to do. They've got no one to blame but themselves ### 5/5 — Good *2020-05-29, version 8.8* Perfect for keeping track of birthdays, tests, or other big events. ### 5/5 — Alen *2020-05-29, version 8.8* This app is great, I love how simple it is... ### 5/5 — Bob *2020-05-29, version 8.8* This app does exactly what it says it will and its beautifully design and displayed.. ### 5/5 — Best Countdown App *2020-03-18, version 8.7* Great to countdown my great days! ### 5/5 — Outstanding! *2020-02-23, version 8.6* I live this user friendly and easy to use app! Highly recommend!! ### 4/5 — Was great until it wasn’t...now it is again! *2019-11-23, version 8.3* Have been using this app now for a few years and would agree with all the reviews - bespoke pictures, great to watch the days tick down but also how long ago since you had been somewhere/done something. Now I open the screen pops and then closes - I do not want to delete and reinstall as I lose all the count back memories so basically the app is dead. I would have given it 4 stars before and it seems unfair to give it none so landed on 2. The crash on opening error has been fixed in the latest review, I am therefore adding back the two stars!!! ### 2/5 — Bugs *2019-11-14, version 8.2* Won’t let me open the previous version which had many memories saved. Had to download the same App so now two the same (one opens & one doesn’t). Then the new one now makes me pay for everything... paid for upgrade & entered key days upcoming. Saved fine. A few day’s later they are all gone and & it’s asking to pay again. Not happy ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2020-02-24, version 8.6* Has removed countdowns that I was using from my app added a “Paris trip” one and removed my one for my bills and assignments due dates! Not happy ### 1/5 — Does not retain countdowns *2020-02-22, version 8.6* App removes countdowns entered and they end up having to be reentered. No reason for the app to remove the countdowns entered. ### 1/5 — Big days out *2019-11-23, version 8.3* I have just purchased this app today, ive added my dates in several time , the app keeps crashing and my data disappears, not happy ### 1/5 — No sirve *2019-11-07, version 8.2* Malísima, no la descarguen solo roba el dinero... no abre la app, la abres y se cierra de inmediato. ### 1/5 — What happened??? *2019-10-31, version 8.2* I LOVED this app...and then the recent updates, can’t even open the app!! Please fix soon! ### 1/5 — Bad *2018-08-03, version 7.5* I purchased the full version as I have a few holidays coming up. Really good the first couple of weeks but now I cannot open the app at all. I’ve tried turning my phone off and on, waited a few days before trying to open it again thinking that it may be a glitch of some sort, deleting the app and redownloading etc but nothing is working. I’m not happy. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-06-07, version 7.1* Doesn’t work worth a crap!! ### 1/5 — A DUD! *2018-05-26, version 7.0* I want to like this app (I really do), BUT it just has problems for me. I’ve had it for over 2 years, and it only opens sporadically. My dates are entered, and today is one of “the” days which shows up with a notification. BUT, the app will NOT open. It tries, but it is like a car with a dead battery...it. just. can’t. do. it. It’s painful to watch. I think it’s now time to say goodbye to this app and find a better one. So long unreliable app. ### 1/5 — Days of our lives *2018-05-21, version 7.0* Awful. Not the soap opera. Waste of money ### 1/5 — Basic *2018-05-12, version 6.9* Should be free for what it is. Basic ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simply the best *2025-08-25, version 12.2* This is a fantastic app, does everything anyone would need on a countdown to a special event. Well done! ### 5/5 — Used for years and kinda the idea *2024-07-02, version 12.2* I’ve had this app on my iPhone for maybe 8 years; interface was a little quirky until I understood it but it does its job. ### 5/5 — Helpful *2020-08-24, version 8.9* I use this app when I need to visualize lengths of time in a way a calendar can’t provide. Having a countdown is really helpful. The developer added alerts, which also works well on iOS. ### 5/5 — Jhuj *2020-05-29, version 8.8* I love this app! I use it to track so many different dates. Pretty much anything that you need to track a date it works!! ### 5/5 — Эс *2020-05-29, version 8.8* I've never written a review about an app but I saw the little amount of reviews this app has and I was shocked! This is my favorite app because I keep about 4 big days in my phone so that I can not only plan my life a little better but it reminds me that I have a lot to look forward too. Right now I have a countdown till Christmas, my birthday, and my high school graduation! If I could give this app 6 stars, I would! ### 5/5 — Anna *2020-05-29, version 8.8* This app does exactly what it says it will and its beautifully design and displayed.. ### 5/5 — Good *2020-05-29, version 8.8* I love to count to special events. Now I have a fun, easy app to help me do this. I always personalize with a picture of my own which makes it special. Haven't had any problems with this app and recommend highly. ### 5/5 — Very well *2020-05-29, version 8.8* This is a great app. I use it all the time really helpful way to keep track of milestones. Still supported by the developer. ### 5/5 — 555 *2020-05-29, version 8.8* This app is great, I love how simple it is... ### 5/5 — Ameli *2020-05-29, version 8.8* This app does exactly what it says it will and its beautifully design and displayed.. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
