Please advise and correct ### 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 ### 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! ### 3/5 — Okay *2024-12-25, version 4.8* I wish that they would add more updated background for it but other than that great app would def recommend if your I need of a count down till Disney ### 2/5 — Hasn’t Been Updates *2024-12-06, version 4.8* The app hasn’t been updated for changes to Disney policies, so you still receive notifications for things like making Fast Pass reservations 60 days in advance. ### 2/5 — Nice but needs work *2023-11-23, version 4.8* It’s a good app. It’s nice that you can input your own photos (kinda - with very restrictive sizing limitations on width). That makes it enjoyable to screenshot new countdown photos to share with traveling companions. But the date notifications need a lot of work! Especially with when you can make reservations for different things or how many days left to do certain activities before the trip. Many of those dates / deadlines are wrong and there’s no way to edit it. It would be better if we can set our own date reminders based on what Disney actually has in place for things like Dining and Activity Bookings, magic band updates, Genie+ (there are no fast passes and haven’t been for a while so not sure why that’s even still in the app), and so much more. Good app but it needs work! ### 3/5 — Basically ok *2023-10-27, version 4.8* Got the app for the countdown to my trip, which works fine. App is not updated to reflect current WDW policies. For example, dining reservations can’t be made til 60 days out, but the app told me it was time to make dining reservations at 79 days out. ### 2/5 — Outdated *2023-09-02, version 4.8* The only thing this is good for is a countdown and pretty photos. ### 4/5 — When will update happen? *2023-07-04, version 4.8* I have had this app for over 3 years now. I don’t know how to contact anyone to see if this app has played out. I purchased this app. I like the app because you are the reminders and tips. A lot has changed since then. Is this app obsolete? ### 2/5 — Out of date *2023-05-20, version 4.8* Needs an update. I understand disney keeps adjusting the rules but 4 years since you updated? ### 2/5 — Music *2023-03-12, version 4.8* I’ve tried and tried and tried to turn off the music. I toggle the button to turn it off and the music still plays. So obnoxious. ### 4/5 — This app has one problem *2023-03-11, version 4.8* So I’m going to Disney world on April 3rd and that’s on a Monday and it says the 3rd is on a Sunday but that’s the only problem ### 3/5 — Not worth the 99 cents. *2022-10-20, version 4.8* Paid, ads never went away. You can’t make it a lock page to see your countdown, or wallpaper. Not worth the buck. The free countdown works just as well. ### 2/5 — Out of Date *2022-09-19, version 4.8* It just told me I could make dining reservations at 90 days out. I still have a month before I can make reservations. 🤷🏻‍♀️ ### 2/5 — Needs updating *2022-08-17, version 4.8* Should have read the more recent reviews. People in the Disney groups I’m in use this app so I decided to drop the $1. Outdated and basic. Gets the job done but I’d pay $2-$3 if it really worked well. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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! ### 1/5 — Used to love *2024-02-02, version 4.8* I always loved using this app for my countdown. But now it’s not working. I can’t add any new trip. ### 1/5 — Won’t let change the count down date *2023-08-05, version 4.8* Won’t let change or ad my countdown date ### 1/5 — paid for widget and theres no widget *2023-05-03, version 4.8* i feel dumb and want my dollar back ### 1/5 — Countdown to Disney wigit *2023-03-06, version 4.8* This app is extremely outdated. The pictures of what they show doesn’t even exist anymore. Don’t recommend this app. ### 1/5 — Why is this asking to paste data from Safari every time I open it? *2022-10-11, version 4.8* This seems like a huge privacy breach. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2022-07-16, version 4.8* I bought the full version, hoping the widget would put a countdown on my home screen, it did not. Horribly outdated, telling me to book fast passes and Magicbands arriving soon 🙄. I’m usually pretty stingy with buying full versions, very disappointed that I bought this one. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Countdown for Disney Countdown for Disney *2025-05-13, version 4.10* Bit3 Computing ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-04-10, version 4.8* 🥇🥇number one app I have no bad words I had fun waiting patiently for my trip and I found it useful on my it’s trip to disney ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2023-04-02, version 4.8* It lets you have a fun way to countdown the days, with other helpful info!!!

The best thing about this app is that there is no ads! Although there is a full app version, it’s only costs .99 and it lets you do a lot without it. ### 5/5 — brilliant *2021-05-03, version 4.8* The excitement of watching the number pop down each coming day until you reach 1 and before you know it you’re off to Gatwick is just unimaginable I love the fact you can change the background and change your date to any time ### 5/5 — Love it! *2021-04-07, version 4.8* I got this app like a year ago and was super excited.
