### 1/5 — Pro version doesn’t deliver

*2025-07-03*

Appears to be a well designed app with a range of customisable features. Upgraded from free version to be able to add own background photo rather than stock image. Worked initially but when I wanted to change the picture, and when setting up new events, it would no longer allow me to access my camera roll. Massively frustrating. Emailed the developer a couple of times but no reply. Based on my experience, the PRO upgrade doesn’t do what it says it will, and no one seems bothered! Avoid.

### 1/5 — false advertising

*2023-09-22*

“Free countdown widget” is such a lie, literally the first thing i saw after downloading the app was asking about a trial paying $7.99 a year to use it. mental

### 3/5 — Paying to add a widget to my home screen?

*2023-08-02*

Look, I know it’s like a dollar monthly or something like that. But if I’m only going to use this once, I’m not paying anything. If I had multiple count downs, then I would pay for it. But for real? It’s a great app and I was excited to add my nursing school graduation countdown, but I thought it was ridiculous to pay for a onetime thing. Maybe make it free until a certain time period or however many widgets to be added, then after that pay for it. 

I’m not usually a complainer, but I just thought a free app like this would have a good amount that’s actually free. ✌🏼

**Developer response:** Hi anne
Thanks for your feedback. Actually our app offer a lot of free widgets to use. You can add them to your home screen freely. Further more we have some vip template to choose. It's totally up to you. Please contact us if you have any other questions: countdown@guloolootech.com

### 4/5 — Love the app but…

*2023-11-19*

I love the app, but why not set a reminder instead of an increments of one day, three days, seven days, 15 days, 30 days, 60 days. Why not every day some people want a notification every day like myself and that’s not an option.

### 5/5 — Keeps me organized

*2026-04-25*

This is an absolutely amazing app! If you are looking for a way to remember everything you have going on I highly recommend this to you.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2024-06-05*

Hard to find.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-02-27*

This app is so amazing because some other apps required premium to make it a widget on. Your phone and this one does not require premium to make it a widget
