great app

it is amazing

Cool app

I love this app so much. I think it’s so fun between the different styles. I could choose from to the dates that I could choose from but the only problem that I have that is when I shut off my phone the counter disappears so then when I turned back on my phone, I have to go all the way through the app to turn the Countdown back on. It is a lot of work and a lot of time like sometimes I don’t have that time to do it, but that’s my only problem.

Missing Stuff

The icons for events are nonsensical and many major things are totally missing (there isn’t even a little running stick person but downhill skiing is there). So all your events will have random unrelated icons.

Also, you can ONLY pick weeks or days for the countdown. There’s nothing that rolls from counting weeks to counting days when some threshold is passed like many many other apps.

Otherwise it’s… fine.
