einfach super

ich habe lange gebraucht eine countdown app zu finden, bei der man kostenlos widgets auf den home bildschirm hinzufügen kann!

Easy to use App. Love it

Great features even for free and lovely UI

Literally EXACTLY what I wanted ❤️❤️❤️

I thought everything costed money but this app is actually kind and is not greedy!

The only countdown app I’ll use

Love it so much! All the customisations are brilliant too. I’ve been using it for years, never had any glitches or issues.

Helpful for vacation planning 🏝️

Managing a multi generational trip for 15 people is no easy feat. Coordinating from great-grandkids to grandparents means you are planning or trying to plan it all in advance and having this app as one of the tiles on my phone has been great for planning rentals cars and a possible itinerary

D day

Little job

Really nice used for over 1 year!

I’ve used this app for quite awhile on Android as well. The iOS app is much better but I love the overall features really decent stuff for free!

Great for how I use it!

I use the unpaid version and track 4 upcoming events at a time via 4 individual widgets, and with enough color customization options to make it aesthetically pleasing. Simple, intuitive, and the best for how I use it!

Good but could be better

I like the widget, but it would be cool if the color of the entry matched the color of the calendar. I have separates color for each of the calendars I have on Apple Calendar. It would be nice if the color of the widget matched the color of the Calendar. If that’s already a thing, let me know.

Perfect App

Nothing excess nothing less

Annoying paywalls

Nice app, but it’s very annoying how it only shows you a setting is a paid feature when you select and try to save it.

Cute and simple

Check the boxes isn’t too complicated. Syncs really well. I’ve been very happy with it.

Accurate and me and my friends are using it to countdown until June one

My friends have been counting down ever since two months before June one and it’s been perfectly accurate even though it’s every once in a while and ask for a subscription you can easily just click the X button and no need to actually get it even though it would be good, it’s OK how it is and I’m loving it so far so this is a very good app and you should try it. I don’t really know another app that’s like this, but on my opinion, this is a five stars so if you ever need to count to an important day, you can just do it. You can do this and then turn it into a widget and then boom it’s easy.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review :)

Basic features locked behind subscription

I've downloaded so many countdown apps just because I wanted a simple widget on my home screen. But nowadays even the most basic features are locked behind subscriptions or paywalls. I understand apps have costs, servers, development, maintenance, etc. But at this point, it would honestly feel more transparent to just charge upfront for the app instead of advertising it as "free" and then trapping users once they've already set everything up. A simple countdown widget should not require another monthly subscription.

An actually good app? In this economy?

Everything you want to use is free, it's simple to use, super customizable, and just does its job (which is rare nowadays). Great app honestly. Genuinely love it.

Incredibly Useful For anyone that appreciates superb UI these guys are the REAL DEAL 👊❤️

I look at this app 1000 X’s per day it’s in heavy rotation I need to be able to keep track of so many things it like Apple Reminders but a visual hold I need to navigate 🧭 time. Long Live this App 👊⚡️⚡️

Love this countdown app

Love this countdown app. It stays right on my main screen, so I can see the image I chose and the days remaining anytime. I never have to open the app to check how long until my event.

Quick, minimal, but so helpful

Super easy to set up, nice theme choices, and one of the few widgets that are actually practical and stylish :) love it!

$60?? Too expensive compared to competitors

The app is outrageously extensive compared to other apps of the same type. The customization is not much better than others. $60 for an app?? Remember when $5 apps were expensive? It’s not like a live service or servers are needed to run this tracker. There is no ongoing cost like a weather app or even a shared calendar app would have. why is it so expensive?
