Very sad….

Updating to IOS 26.4.2 wiped all the events that I have created and kept for the past 15 years.

Not working

Looses all my countdowns!

Date only set this year

The bug with the day setting. Cant edit the past years. Deleted.

Taking off Weekends

It would be nice to have the option to show week days only for things like days till a certain event, like a vacation, to show how many days you actually have to work.

Still the BEST for iPad OS!

Still the best countdown timer for iPad OS.

Response from developer

Tapping on screen once should hide/display the toolbar. As far as I can tell the event title & time remaining should only ever be hidden when positioning the Event backdrop picture.

Does what it says

Great and been using for many years - 5 star esp new widget for fronts screen.

Counting down

I have used it several times to count down to important events. I like the variety of ways to countdown, days or months, weeks, hours, etc. once the events passes it then counts time since the event. You can upload the background of your choice. Simple and it works.

Glitchy

The app will delete events on you randomly. I was using the app to not only count down future events but keep track of time from events passed. All old event were deleted with last update. Lame glitch. Very disappointed.

Still Used A Lot

I upgraded my phone but could not restore the purchase. The owner worked with me but could not be resolved. Which is ok, it’s reasonably priced at 99¢ I purchased it again. What a huge difference! Not only do you get the extra options but the images are crystal clear. It is definitely worth the upgrade!

Where are the years?

Used it for several years successfully. Opened it again recently after not looking at it for ages and the years have disappeared from past events. I used it for my grandchildrens ages and it’s suddenly not working.

New upgrades

Latest upgrades have added to many variables , have been very happy with APP due to simplicity. Why would I want an alarm for something in six months time !

Updates Delete Your Previous Entries

Recommend not using this app cause if you spend hours and hours entering important dates to events they will ALL be deleted with an update of the app. Not reasonable as there is no way to save previous entries and to top it off the charge you to use the app now and say you can restore but you can’t. Again, recommend you DO NOT USE THIS APP!!!! Andy Le Blanc

Upsetting “reset”

So you did an upgrade & my current countdowns disappeared!!

Love this app

I don’t use it a lot but often enough. Today I sent screenshots to all my married children and my parents of their anniversaries. So cool! Everything works great for me.

Something has changed

I’ve used this app for years and until recently I was able to use photos from my phone to upload, but no longer. I do hope you fix this.

Muy util

Me ha ayudado mucho cuando he tenido que celebrar algo y cuando he tenido que recordar fechas me parece muy útil la aplicación y muy necesaria cuando estés fuera de casa para saber los días que te quedan para volver

A good app

But why will it not sync with my iPad.

Pretty good

Works fine, time setting should always be in 24h, to avoid ambiguities, especially with the date.

Hi

Hi

Just one bug

I’ve been using this app for quite a few years.
There is a bug with the setting for the event date. If it is not hidden, it seems to not display accurately. My event is properly set for Sept 6 and countdown is accurate but if I display the event date it shows as September 7th
