### 3/5 — Ads not removed

*2026-07-22, version 4.11*

Paid version still has ads..?!?!  Please advise and correct

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-07-21, version 4.11*

I downloaded and I could not get off a page for asthma medication.

### 1/5 — Pay

*2026-03-31, version 4.10*

I do not like how you have to pay to have a widget

### 1/5 — Can’t put date in

*2025-11-19, version 4.10*

It just opens with 0 Days left and won’t let me put my date in.

### 3/5 — One time use

*2025-07-12, version 4.10*

I like the app, but cannot easily figure out how to change the information for my next trip…my countdown is at 0. I cannot figure out how to reset it so it seems like it’s a one-time app.

### 2/5 — One and done

*2025-06-13, version 4.10*

The countdown can only be set once and cannot be edited

### 3/5 — I love this app, but

*2025-05-30, version 4.10*

I just got this app and I got on it well the one thing I like about it is it when you’re at Disney you don’t know the weather so when you go on the Disney app, you can check the weather cause it has the weather stuff and I don’t like it is that it’s kind of boring and it doesn’t really do that much stuff except shows you the weather so I don’t think you should get this app because it’s kind of boring. It doesn’t really do anything you get this app. If you don’t know the weather in Disney, you can just go on the Weather app and there’s nothing really special about it

### 5/5 — Countdown for Disney Countdown for Disney

*2025-05-13, version 4.10*

Bit3 Computing

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2025-03-02, version 4.10*

I bought the full version thinking it would let me have a countdown widget but instead it meant that the part that shows the countdown in the app as the widget! This is very misleading and should be changed!

### 2/5 — Developer please respond!

*2025-02-23, version 4.9*

It works as it says without the full version but I tried to buy the full version so I could get the widget and it just kicked me off the app every time I click buy full version! I really want to have the full version and am totally fine with paying for it. Developer please respond!
