Wrong calculation

Add an event for Saturday 8am , it is currently Thursday 3am, the countdown states it starts in 5 hours ? What happened to the missing 2 days ?

Holiday countdown

Really good it’s a very good app so I can see how many days to events and other things

Just one more thing I think you should automatically have Christmas, Halloween, New Year’s Eve and day

Other wise really brilliant app

Crashing Edit

Edit:: Have now removed the widget from my screen and the app seems to be working. But what is the point of being having a widget and it not working!!!

Since the update yesterday (12 August) the app won’t open, just flashes the title screen and then closes down. Can only see the one countdown on my widget even though that doesn’t countdown unless you click on it and now I can’t do that because it keeps crashing

Our latest version includes a fix for this problem, and the app and widget should now work as expected. We really appreciate your patience and support while we resolved this - your feedback helps us make the app better for everyone. Best regards, Holiday Extras Team

Latest Update does not work

App brilliant until 2 days ago . After update to localisation it now does not work . Upon opening the app it immediately shuts itself down again and takes you back to your Home Screen. Please fix it I love this app . I phone 16 plus if that helps …..
