Sync Error

I can’t give this a better review for 2 reason. The main one is the “sync error” and the other thing that’s bothered me is that you can’t adjust your photo to fit in the app.

5 stars!

Countdown star has been my favorite app for years now. I love having something to look forward to, especially on hard days and appreciate being able to look back at my history of blessings and good things. It’s nice having a timeline of your celebrations, memories and trips all in one place.

Sync Errors

Not Syncing!

Sync Error

Five stars to the previous version. But since the update, I keep getting a “Sync Error” message and can’t figure out how to get rid of it.

Sync Error

Loved this app! But lately it says sync error at the bottom of my Home Page?? I emailed the guy and never got a response. Maybe he is not updating it anymore. I see review after review months before I left this one and obviously it isn’t being fixed so. I guess I’ll find another app. I don’t want to end up losing all my dates like others.
9/21/‘26 Update. Still a sync error. I can’t even add an event anymore. The app completely freezes up. SMH. I will be finding a new app and deleting this one.

Widget aléatoire

Le but du widget était pour moi d’afficher les événements les plus proches, mais à chaque fois que je veux les voir ils s’affichent dans un ordre aléatoire. L’application perd tout son intérêt pour moi. Je regrette de l’avoir achetée.

Sync Error

Have followed every detail and for a brief moment the app will sync to iCloud, then the sync error message comes back.

Amazing app… But ran into some issues.

I love this countdown app. I’ve been adding all my favorite national holidays in the app. I also use it to collect memories of things I like to do: like, the last time I hung out with my best friend. I will say, there are a few issues. When you use the time units slider, you can’t change it back to where it was with VoiceOver. I tried to change the time unit settings from days to hours. But when I tried to change it back to the days,it would not let me. And also, could you make it so it goes back to 10,000 again? And it would really be cool if you had a slider that you can change from weekly, monthly, or annually. Anyways, I really do appreciate this app. I also appreciate that you actually take the reviewers feedback seriously. In my opinion, I feel like there’s not a lot of app developers that do that. You’re a real one in my book. Keep up the great work.

Sync fail notification

I just wish there was a way to get rid of the notification. Idc that it failed. Just take it off the timer

Still Getting Sync Error

App was recently updated & appears to working but has been displaying a "Sync Error" for at least the past 3 months. Anyone else having this issue?

No customer service

I’ve had an issue with my app not syncing. Left a message weeks ago, still no response. They also took away the “weeks” option on the countdown and I loved that.

Everything has gone?

I have been using a fully paid-for version Countdown Star for years and have previously been very pleased with it. However, when I downloaded the update in July it purged all of my data?????
All of my countdowns are now missing! All of my count-ups are missing too! Even my bespoke wallpapers are missing. It’s so frustrating as I don’t know some of the dates and times to enable me to recreate the events. I contacted the developer but have yet to receive a response. This is so poor that I’m giving it a single star and creating this review as a warning to others.

What on Earth has happened?

I’ve used this app for years but the recent changes have wiped out all of my events and made the whole thing unstable. Nothing I now enter is retained. I’m so mad at losing all of my past entries. I had important memories recorded including dates to do with my son who recently died. So upsetting.Everything just gone!

Sync error???

Used this app for a while now but all of a sudden it says sync error but Idkh to fix this issue. Help please

All events gone ☹️

Since the update all my events disappeared. When I start re-entering them I eventually get an iCloud Sync error ❌
I’m afraid I’m going to have to think about giving up on this app. It used to work fine until the recent update but has since become annoyingly unusable, for me at least 🤯
A shame ‘cos I used to enjoy using it on an almost daily basis.

Sync error

Crashes - used to be reliable - now won’t sync

Rubbish update

Latest update deleted EVERYTHING I had saved in the app. Prior to the update it was working perfectly. Lost some very important dates - not happy!

Sync Error

Love this app! But lately it says sync error at the bottom of my Home Page??

Not something I recommend

While this works. I’ve learnt the hard way that I should just keep a spreadsheet as a main reference as I have lost all of my special dates from an update.
