You cannot select weekdays only as advertised. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work properly *2021-03-08* This countdown shows the total number of days until the end of your countdown. There is a place to see the full months ahead and I assume you’re supposed to be able to unselect days you don’t want counted but it didn’t work for me. I tried every setting and nothing worked. Bummer ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-10-11* Does not do anything other than show total days until an event. Cannot select just weekdays or exclude holidays. Calendar function just shows a calendar that you cannot tap or edit. ### 1/5 — How does this work? *2020-08-22* I am trying to make a countdown by weekdays (it said it was possible in the description) but apparently you have to be smarter than I am to figure it out. :( ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work! *2019-04-09* I can enter my event but that’s it. It doesn’t give me a countdown of any kind and gives me no means to access this info. What a waste of time! Glad I didn’t pay for it! ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2018-12-03, version 2.0.1* Don’t waste your time or effort. Completely useless, tried every option to display the countdown and get nothing. no countdown, no point! ### 1/5 — Weekdays *2018-03-07* This app advertises that it will count down workdays or weekends only. Even shows a picture showing that. This feature does not work, not even a pop up to say if it requires an in-app purchase. Don’t waste your time! ### 1/5 — NO IOS 11 SUPPORT!!! *2017-10-10* ^^^^^ REALLY?!?!? ### 1/5 — Crash *2017-04-03* I can't even set a date without the app crashing. It also slows down your phone. ### 2/5 — Couldn’t customise *2021-08-30, version 2.0.1* Didnt seem to work for iPhone! No options to remove weekends or holidays ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really Useful!! *2025-07-06* Does exactly what it says. I did, however see some reviews about ads being present somewhere? I haven’t encountered any so far… anyway, this app is super useful when you have an interesting schedule and wanna countdown how many of those days you have left. :’) I do have a suggestion of perhaps making an option to create different categories of countdowns, (Kinda like folders) so and example could be birthday countdowns, business events countdowns, etc. This app is amazing and I’m not exactly sure why it’s only 3.7 stars? It’s not exactly your prettiest countdown, but it’s functional. TL;DR So the app is: -Functional -What is advertised -NO ADS -Could be better -Not aesthetically customizable -Super Useful! Thanks for reading! ### 5/5 — Really cool *2018-11-01* I really enjoy using this app, it doesn’t have any colourful imaging but I don’t care about that at all. It lets me count down exactly how many days of school I have left until my summer is here. I can exclude holidays, weekends and I can pick exact times. ### 5/5 — Good *2016-05-08* Does just what I want. Only count weekdays ### 5/5 — Simple, effective *2016-01-12* A+ ### 5/5 — Great support *2014-02-18* I just downloaded the app and had "user" issues and contacted support. They responded very quickly and solved my issue. This app and these people are professional! ### 4/5 — It’s great but make it a widget *2022-08-25* Great app, wonderful features and easy to use. Please add the widget feature. I’ll give you another dollar. ### 4/5 — Only App that Counts Down Business Days *2022-04-01* This is the ONLY app I can find that will let me exclude weekends from my countdown so I can count down days I have left to work for something. It’s bare bones but I don’t care. Just PLEASE MAKE A WIDGET. I would pay money for a widget!!! I want this on my phone screen without opening the app! Please! ### 4/5 — Great App *2017-07-25* I really enjoy counting down important dates in my life. I also like at I can easily exclude weekends and holidays. ### 4/5 — Good business count down tracker *2013-08-03* The Ap allows you to count day business days and remove holidays out of the figures. Not much to look at - no backgrounds but very easy to use. ### 3/5 — iOS UI refresh needed! *2014-08-27* This is an easy-to-use app with just the features I was looking for. In-app purchase allows the novel idea of "choosing" how much to pay to remove ads - never seen that before! The app would get higher rating if the user interface was refreshed for iOS 7+. This is much needed to make a good app great! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
