### 5/5 — Für Widget muss nicht bezahlt werden

*2026-07-15*

Die App ist die einzige die ich gefunden habe, in der man für ein Widget nicht extra premium braucht. Klare Empfehlung 👍🏼

### 1/5 — Werbung

*2026-06-13*

Wollte einen neuen Urlaub eintragen und bekam danach nur noch Werbung, welche sich weder selbst beendet oder sich manuell schließen lässt. Heute ist der Tag der Löschung gekommen.

### 1/5 — Countdown

*2025-11-05*

Was muss man denn unternehmen,damit die App auch die Eingaben behält?Nach dem Update wird alles gelöscht,sobald man die App schließt.

### 5/5 — Sehr übersichtlich 👍🏻

*2024-11-13*

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

### 4/5 — Okay but some things…

*2024-03-29*

The amount of adds are well balanced not much but I think you should get rid of them please and replace it with something else please!!!

### 1/5 — Nope

*2022-12-02*

Tried setting this up for a trip next year and your Scientology ad was in the way so much that I couldn’t finish adding the info. So bye. 😡

### 5/5 — I LOVE IT!!!!

*2020-06-12*

I was looking for the perfect app for countdowns. I’ve tried multiple apps. None of them were my kind of style. And then I came across this app. It’s awesome!!!!!! I personally recommend getting this app.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for this great feedback :)

### 1/5 — Trotz Bezahlung Werbung !

*2019-05-02*

Die App ist super an sich , aber das ich bezahle um keine Werbung zu haben und dann trotzdem Werbung bekomme ist einfach nur mies !

**Developer response:** Hallo Cloe04, 
danke für deine Bewertung. 
Das sollte natürlich nicht sein und ist so auch nicht von uns gewollt. Aktuell hat auch noch kein anderer dieses Problem. 
Kannst du uns bitte nochmal kurz eine Mail an app@kisimedia.de senden und auch einen Screenshot von der Werbung und der Seite 'Mehr' senden? Das würde uns bei der Fehlersuche sehr helfen. 
Hoffe wir können alles klären, damit du die App voll und ganz genießen kannst und dich auf deinen nächsten Urlaub freuen kannst.

### 5/5 — 🤩
