go memeory

this is fun thst you can remember events that have happened

Syncing error

I keep getting a syncing error pop up on all the countdowns I have. I went through troubleshoot steps to no avail. Still does a fine countdown, just annoying that the syncing error icon is on all the countdown timer pages I have set up.

Diff days

Idk why but sometimes my dates get wrong? I wish the app would automatically restart after te specified date has happened like for birthdays. I have to re do it every year

Really good but…

I really wanted this app so I could keep track of events and when they were happening the only problem is there are hardly any background choices if there were more it would be great like maybe even colours it would be 5 stars but I would still get it but that’s the only problem

Amazing

You should get this app 100 percent

Awesome

I’ve been using this app since 2022, and it has made my shifts at work FLY by. Very VERY useful.

Great Countdown and Up App!

I mostly use this app for Timelapse. It’s the only app that’s fully customizable and is free. The only thing that would make this 5 stars would be the ability to customize the unit of measure showing on widget. Right now it only shows days and it would be great to customize if you just wanted years or months to show in widget. Other than that, it’s the best!

Lost everything

I have reached out numerous times letting you know all has disappeared. All my years of events. You have never replied.

Bugs and Lack of Support

I probably shouldn’t complain too much because the app is free—although, to be fair, the developer is earning revenue from the ads.

The problem is that iCloud syncing still doesn’t work, even after the update for iOS 27. I completely understand that bugs happen, especially after a major iOS update. That part doesn’t bother me nearly as much as the lack of response after reporting the issue.

The app says to expect a response within two days, but so far, nothing. It leaves me with the impression that this may be one of those one-person operations where the storefront is open 24/7, but apparently the customer service department is out to lunch. 😄

I’d happily change my one-star rating once the syncing issue is fixed—or at least acknowledged. A free app doesn’t have to be perfect, but if you’re accepting ad revenue and inviting users to report problems, some communication would go a long way.

Not working…syncing error

For over a week now

We love it and we’ve been counting down when we go to the beach

It’s good for like people who wants to like count days and they get to make a cute background. I love it.

Used To Be Great

I used to love this app! However, there are now too many pop up ads to keep using it all the time.

Love it!

Helps me keep track of current and past events!

Still has a Sync Error

I continue to see updates to the app, but none of the updates fix the sink error with iCloud running iOS 27. Love the app, just wish it worked.

Won’t Sync

The app will not sync to iCloud, it just gives me an error even though I have sync turned on for the app.

Nice!

Great app. Love the count up as well.

Grainy Pictures

The uploaded pictures are grainy. I paid for the ad free one just to see if it was better but the pictures are still grainy. Please fix and or upload more variety of pre-selected pictures.

App is unusable now

I have used this app for many years and loved it, however after the last update it is completely unusable. The app freezes after you click anywhere within the app. It is now impossible to update previous entries or add new ones. What a disappointment…

Events gone

Unfortunately the last update erased all my previous events and countdowns.
