### 3/5 — Create events once for sync?

*2026-05-17*

Are the events supposed to automatically sync to other devices?  So we don’t have to recreate each event on each device.  If so, how long does it take for events to appear on other devices?  I created one event as a test and it’s not shown up on my other devices yet.

**Developer response:** Hi, and thanks for reaching out!

Yes — that's exactly how it should work. CNDWN syncs your countdowns through your private iCloud account, so anything you create on one device shows up on the others automatically. No need to recreate anything! It usually takes just a few seconds to a minute (the very first sync on a new device can take a little longer).

If your test event hasn't shown up yet, it's usually one of these:
- Same Apple Account on both devices
- iCloud enabled for CNDWN: Settings → your name → iCloud → Saved to iCloud → See All → CNDWN (on Mac: System Settings → your name → iCloud → iCloud Drive → Apps syncing to iCloud Drive)
- Open the app once on the other device — sync happens while CNDWN is running, a widget alone won't pull it in
- Low Data / Low Power Mode can pause iCloud sync

If it's still not appearing after that, please write me at cndwn@schillan.com with the devices you're using — I'd be happy to help you get it working.

Thanks for giving CNDWN a try!

Best,
Konstantin

### 5/5 — This is amazing. Thank you so much.

*2026-02-27*

From the stunning and beautiful icon, to the way everything is elegantly simple and intuitive, I feel so blessed to be able to experience this app at a free cost. Thank you. Please allow for smaller font (or match iOS system font) in an update soon 😁 the live activity banner is lowkey huiugeee

### 5/5 — 5/5 of course

*2026-01-02*

thank you for that app so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻 i love it, good luck in future

### 4/5 — Love the app, simple things would be make it perfect!

*2024-05-09*

- Making the ‘timer’ option show as “Months:days:hours:minutes:seconds” instead of “Hours:minutes:seconds” (2800 hours isn’t a useful metric)
What’s shown in each column could also be customizable!

- progress bar option for widgets!

- both of these in one widget would be incredible

These additions would make the app perfect and the best on the App Store—certainly worth a one-time purchase (at least compared to the many other paid options available)

### 4/5 — When to update

*2024-04-12*

Love your app

### 2/5 — This app isn’t modern

*2024-03-16*

The app lacks “app intents” and siri integration. It would be far more useful if that wasn’t the case.
