### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-01, version 1.6.7*

Easy to use

### 4/5 — Ratting

*2026-07-15, version 1.6.7*

This is a great app and it’s free. You only have to pay for backgrounds!!

### 5/5 — Works for what it’s intended

*2026-07-06, version 1.6.7*

Ring the basic function 
So far it works fine

### 4/5 — Ok

*2026-06-02, version 1.6.7*

So I was satisfied with everything just wish they had an option for no weekends if u are looking for something with no weekends counted it’s not this app

### 4/5 — It works perfectly but one small complaint

*2026-05-09, version 1.6.7*

If you put a countdown as a widget you can’t see the seconds, only minutes hours and days, which is fine because the specific number of seconds will almost never feel different if it’s still ending on the same minute but I still wish you could see the seconds on widgets rather than having to open the app to see the seconds

### 5/5 — Works

*2026-04-21, version 1.6.7*

Only app I’ve found that lets me add a widget for free

### 3/5 — Good App-But

*2026-04-07, version 1.6.7*

Really like the app and have been using it a lot however there have been not new templates in the 2/3 years that I’ve used it. 
This definitely needs more templates or the ability to add you own.

### 1/5 — Upgrade now required for photos

*2026-04-02, version 1.6.7*

I have been using this app for years and always have a countdown with a custom photo on my Home Screen. Today I discovered that the custom photo feature is now behind a paywall/required upgrade to pro. I can’t even edit the photo on an existing countdown without upgrading . I refuse to pay for something that has been free for years so I’m officially uninstalling the app.

### 1/5 — No

*2026-04-02*

I’m not able to put the widget on my home screen
