But I have a suggestion! It would be convenient if there was a widget. ### 3/5 — Only up to 999 *2026-04-27, version 1.1* Great looking app for any date less than 1000 days away. ### 2/5 — Not good for work events *2026-01-01, version 1.1* Limited in its ability to count workdays ### 5/5 — Good *2025-01-27, version 1.1* I have loved it ### 4/5 — Skibidi not very sigma *2024-12-19, version 1.1* Mid Ig is get it? ### 5/5 — The is pretty good to use *2024-12-08, version 1.1* Easy to set up with app user friendly ### 5/5 — No advertisements! *2024-04-17, version 1.1* It is free and there is no advertisements, ever. Easy to use and fully customizable. I like it as long as it stays like this. Thanks. ### 5/5 — So far so good *2024-03-27, version 1.1* So far so good ### 2/5 — Handy tool, though pretty limited *2023-12-09, version 1.1* Ok app, though it be nice if it showed more detail including year(s), month(s), week(s), hour(s), minute(s) & second(s) left till event. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t refresh *2023-11-17, version 1.1* I would of given it 5 stars but when I open it, it doesn’t automatically refresh. I have to go into the settings and then back out to refresh the counter. ### 2/5 — Bugs *2023-11-16* It’s free and has no adverts but there are two problems. With newer iPhones the app stays running in the background and only updates the days until figure when it’s killed/restarted. So you’ll get the same days until figure for a whole week. Additionally it displays the wrong days until figure - today is Friday and my date is set for Sunday but it displays 1 day to go when it should be 2. This may be a time zone issue? ### 3/5 — Does Not Display Above 999 Days *2023-11-07, version 1.1* Only count down from less than 1000 days ### 5/5 — I love this app!!👍🤩 *2023-10-10, version 1.1* This a amazing app it helps me so much so I know when things are my cousin gave it to me I have loved it ever since you will love it to ### 4/5 — ??? *2023-09-30, version 1.1* Days seem to be out!!! ### 5/5 — AWESOME *2023-09-27, version 1.1* I love this app I’m only 11 and I’m just about to finish year 6 this app is soo handy I know when summer is I know when bdays are I know when Xmas is . I would recommend making this app a widget so u add the widget and choose what countdown you want other wise I recommend this app sooo handy I love it sm !!!🇦🇺🌞✌🏼💗 ### 3/5 — Possible glitch? *2023-09-21, version 1.1* I like it. It’s simple to set up and I like that you can customize the background. The only thing is that it doesn’t seem to automatically update each day. The number only goes down when I open it up to edit and then go back to the main screen. The time is set at 12:00am so it should update overnight. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broke as soon as I installed it *2026-07-03, version 1.1* It broke ### 1/5 — App wont open *2026-01-24, version 1.1* App worked well until recently and now it wont open.

So I don’t recommend this app at all. ### 1/5 — Won't sync to iPad *2023-07-28, version 1.1* I have used this app for years but it won't sync between my iPad and iPhone. I finally gave up today and deleted it. My husband found a new app that will sync between both. I need to have my countdowns on both devices. This app is going to be history. ### 1/5 — Countdown doesn’t work *2023-07-13, version 1.1* Looked yesterday and countdown showed 79 days to event. looked today and countdown showed 79 days. had to go into menu and click on event and then it changed to 78 which makes this pretty much useless. ### 1/5 — short time span *2023-04-16, version 1.1* can’t put in an event that’s more than 3 years out ### 1/5 — Fix *2023-04-07, version 1.1* App would not open when I downloaded it ### 1/5 — Can’t get as home screen *2023-03-01, version 1.1* Not good ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A must have app *2026-08-06, version 1.1* Great tool for projects and back to school activities ### 5/5 — i am going to Cyrus for holiday *2026-07-27, version 1.1* lovely ### 5/5 — Retirement Countdown *2026-07-02, version 1.1* Switched from countdown to days since, automatically.
