### 1/5 — Countdown to retirement

*2013-03-08, version 1.0*

I am unable to open this app. Countdown to retirement. ThenI was unable to ask for help on his page. When attempting to put my email in the main page would pop up. Very frustrated!  Worst 99cents ever spent

**Developer response:** You might find that the app can open now.  Try updating to the latest version.

### 3/5 — Great build-up, Great let-down!

*2017-06-08, version 1.5*

Great count down, as the days, then hours, then minutes and finally seconds go down to zero.. One wonders on that final second if the chains will come flying off and the grimace will be replaced by a smile.

Instead, the finale is only the person sitting in a beach chair on the beach. I was expecting something more dramatic.

### 4/5 — Gov Hack

*2017-03-09, version 1.5*

Nice simple app. Retiring hour is not adjustable. It's is set at midnight Eastern Standard Time. It would be better if we could input the hour such as 1200 noon

### 5/5 — Seriously?

*2019-06-18, version 1.7*

No one believed I was retiring. 41 years. 
I would pullout my phone and start this app and they would laugh

**Developer response:** Ha! Nice.

### 5/5 — So much fun!

*2017-04-29, version 1.5*

On those tough days when you just can't take it anymore, open up this app and get s good laugh!  I'm within s year, so when friends look at the countdown they not only laugh but get jealous!!!! I wish the locks disappeared ad the time gets less..... it would be so much fun if, on the last day, the chains totally disappeared!  Fun, fun, fun!!!!

### 5/5 — Such a fun and simple app!

*2017-02-18, version 1.5*

Need a good laugh on a tough day at the office? Download this app! Both encouraging and discouraging depending on whether or not you love your job but fun regardless. Great animation, simple countdown. It's all you need. Now, back to work!

**Developer response:** I know how you feel!  Glad you like it. ;-)

### 5/5 — Neat app

*2017-02-16, version 1.5*

It's simple and does what it needs to do. I like it

### 5/5 — Simple to use app

*2013-02-26, version 1.0*

Nice little app. Retirement is too far away for me to even think about right now so I use this app as a countdown clock for other important things in my life like my wife's birthday!

### 5/5 — Retirement App is Great

*2013-02-25, version 1.0*

I love the animation! Graphic for a man or woman. Easy to change your retirement date if you find you can escape the golden chains of employment early (or later). Gives countdown in days, hours, minutes and seconds.  Can't wait to share with fellow employees on the countdown!
