It’s super handy for keeping track of upcoming events, and it does so beautifully. It’s pretty easy to set up and there are a lot of options to personalize the widget. I like this a lot! ### 2/5 — Great concept *2026-05-07, version 2.36* It’s a great concept and I still use it but there’s glitches. Sometimes the tally won’t increase and I have to edit and manually increase. The app will randomly close out on me. The countdowns will randomly delete. It’s also very difficult to add a widget to your lock screen ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-04-12, version 2.35* Very cute and easy to use ### 4/5 — Great app *2026-03-06* Everything is great except the paid option all of the good things are there ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-03-05* Easy to navigate and user friendly ### 5/5 — Happy *2026-02-21, version 2.33* I am happy with the free app when you only book only two holidays at a time. ### 5/5 — Worthy download ! *2026-02-14* I’m bad at remembering dates and day’s so this helps me a lot and because of this app you’re not going to hurt your loved one for sure by forgetting their dates 🥹❤️ ### 4/5 — COUNTDOWNS *2026-02-04, version 2.33* I think you should allow there to be having more countdowns then two also to give more theme colors ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-02-04, version 2.33* I spend a ton of time looking for the best countdown app and this is it. It’s super intuitive clean and nice to look at it. ### 5/5 — Fun count down *2026-01-28, version 2.33* Love this app and works great with the phone widget. Love counting my days until my next big event!! ### 5/5 — Handy Countdown widget *2026-01-06, version 2.32* Love this easy to use, customizable countdown app! Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Inloveeee *2026-01-05, version 2.32* I used this countdown to track the days my boyfriend would come back from his leave to the military. It was amazing. It kept me sane. ### 5/5 — Nice, overall *2026-01-02* Cool app and nice fast support who answered me in an hour about my question **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind feedback! We’re glad you’re enjoying the app, and we’re happy we could help answer your question quickly. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-12-30, version 2.32* This is the most perfect, simple & effective widget! ### 5/5 — Świetna, prosta, ładna apka. *2025-12-23, version 2.31* Świetna, prosta, ładna apka. ### 5/5 — SO GOOD *2025-12-21, version 2.14* This app is very helpful but it sometimes doesn’t ### 5/5 — Loved it *2025-12-10* Very nice app **Developer response:** Thank you! We appreciate your feedback and are glad you’re enjoying the app. ### 5/5 — Awesome and always helpful *2025-12-03, version 2.29* Love this app. Keeps track of everything. Simple and easy to use ### 5/5 — useful *2025-11-26, version 2.28* good to use especially for importand events. reminds you daily. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-03-20* All I wanted was something that counts the days. Puts a number on screen that goes up by one. I could not for the life of me get it to work. I’d manually have to recheck it every day and often times it’d be off by one. So I’d adjust the start date back one day, forward one day, change it to 11:55 pm instead of midnight. Finally after a half dozen manual recalculations that were wrong I just deleted it. If you can’t trust your countdown number what’s the point of the app? ### 1/5 — No usable widget *2024-09-26, version 2.13* Paid for this app and the widget is not displayble complete waste of money be great to get my money back. ### 1/5 — Worst *2024-09-02, version 2.12* Nothing is free ### 1/5 — So far can’t set a date for event *2024-08-24, version 2.12* Just even upgraded to the “pro” version, and cannot actually set the date for an event to count down to. Seems the app isn’t functioning properly, and I just paid $9 to find out. 😔 ### 1/5 — Horrible *2024-08-08* When you try to put a countdown on your lockscreen you just can’t there isn’t any possibility to do it ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2024-08-04, version 2.12* Not really happy with this app ### 1/5 — Nag screen annoyance continues *2024-06-26* Highly annoying “Nag screen” for ratings, even though I have “In App Ratings” switched off. And I paid for the Pro version. They need to do better, as I have rated a few times hoping the nagging would stop. Especially since it doesn’t follow the OS settings. Update: They asked for this review, again! So I’m obliging them, again. And dropping another star. For each “nag screen solicitation” (my words): I plan on keeping it at one star until they observe Apples “no nag policy” (my paraphrasing) built within the OS. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2024-05-02, version 2.10* I downloaded this app. Set a timer and when I went to customise my Lock Screen, this app doesn’t show and I can’t add to my Lock Screen ### 1/5 — Countdown *2024-02-09* Can’t get it to display of phone, have to go into the app each time. Disappointing ### 1/5 — App not working *2023-12-21* I am unable to set the date for the countdown. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Anticipation boosted *2026-07-20, version 2.40* Such a great tool to help keep the excitement high when you’re looking forward to an event or milestone. ### 5/5 — 광고도 없고 무료인 D-Day 계산기 *2026-07-09* 광고도 전혀 없고, 무료(부분 유료화)면서, “데이터가 전혀 수집되지 않는” 앱입니다. 일부 앱들은 위젯을 쓰려면 돈을 내라고 하는데, 이 앱은 무료라서 정말 잘 쓰고 있습니다. ### 5/5 — Best at What it does *2026-07-07* I’ve been using this widget app for almost 2 months and I’m fascinated by the customisation it has. I haven’t taken a premium membership, but even on basic, does the job for me ### 5/5 — Easy to keep track of major events *2026-06-22* I am using it all the time as widgets on my iPhone. Easy to setup ### 5/5 — Good widget *2026-06-20, version 2.38* Good product ### 5/5 — Clean, simple, perfect *2026-06-09* Love this app, love seeing the widget on my home screen as encouragement, love that no data is collected. Thankyou !! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-06-03, version 2.37* Very good app ### 5/5 — KISS magic *2026-06-02, version 2.37* Keep It Stupid Simple. Works as advertised. If you only want 2 timers, it is free for basic functions. If you want more than that or fancier features you can pay the upcharge. Simple and elegant. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-05-14, version 2.36* Love love love, cute widgets too ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-04-18, version 2.36* Great app to watch the count down for special events. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
