Just the link to it does. ### 1/5 — Стало на 100% платной *2023-12-23, version 3.4.2* Стало на 100% платной, разработчик самый жадный человек в мире ### 1/5 — Pas bien *2023-10-30, version 3.4.1* Faut payer ### 1/5 — Why can’t you *2023-10-27, version 3.4.1* I do not like this app because you cannot add music to your story. ### 1/5 — Фуууууу 🤮🤮🤮ОБМАН *2023-10-01, version 3.4.1* Вы уж простите но ПОЧЕМУ ВСЁ ПЛАТНО ПОКА НЕ ЗАПЛАТИЛ НЕ РАБОТАЕТ ВЫ НЕ ОФИГЕЛИ!🤬😡🤬 ### 1/5 — 😐 *2023-05-20, version 3.4.1* why yall making us subscribe to sum stupid before we can even use it ### 2/5 — They changed the widgets *2023-04-22, version 3.4.1* I used this app for a previous trip and loved it, so I decided that I would pay for the one time purchase of $39.99. And the apple home screen widget is awful. I was to count the days or weeks. The lock screen you have an option of weeks if you wanted. But 75 days on the widget says “-2months” inside the phone and 10 weeks on the lock screen That is trash, neither are accurate and it took the whole fun out if the count down. Change it back ### 1/5 — I hate this app *2023-04-07, version 3.4.1* I unsubscribe and now it will not let me get any other app I’m not happy with this. 0/0 ### 1/5 — Not a Free App *2023-03-14, version 3.4.1* You have to subscribe it in order to use the app. You cant even access the app if you do not suscribe. ### 1/5 — Sahtekarlık *2023-03-13, version 3.4.1* Uygulama mağazasında bedava ve uygulama içi satın alma görünmüyor ancak indirip bi açıyorsunuz SÜPRİİİİİZ ver bana para diyor Uygulamayı ücretli yap verelim parasını kullanalım ama bu resmen farkında olmadan insanlardan para koparmak. Eğer sizden para aldıysa ios markette para iade bölümünden itiraz başvurusu yapabilirsiniz ertesi gün para hesabınıza geri yatıyor. ### 1/5 — Do not download *2023-02-06, version 3.4.1* This app is a scam and when you keep pressing continue it’ll make u pay money and won’t let you do we the app without paying ### 2/5 — No way to cancel *2022-11-24, version 3.3.1* Not sure if this has an auto renew. I’ve tried multiple times to find out how to cancel. I used this for one trip back in January and haven’t used it since. Will my subscription expire or will it auto renew. Hopefully it just expires. I’ll be pretty upset if it renews when they don’t make easy to cancel. I will change my rating if I hear back from them and I am not charged for another year. ### 4/5 — It great *2022-11-16, version 3.3.1* Maybe I am just blind but is there one for like a country pacifically like Indonesia or Japan or a vacation type background ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nulla di gratuito *2025-08-18, version 3.6.2* Appena si apre l’app chiede di fare abbonamento ### 1/5 — Full payant a fuir *2025-05-11, version 3.6.2* C'est une dinguerie ils n'ont même pas la petite mention d'achat intégrée avant qu'on telecharge l'app, je sais pas comment ils ont contourné ça mais vous ne pouvez rien en faire à moins de payer 2 euros par SEMAINE 😂 ### 1/5 — A pagamento *2024-11-21, version 3.4.3* Non esiste una versione gratuita. 45 € per un programma per una cosa semplicissima ### 1/5 — Useless *2024-09-24, version 3.4.3* Why place it as FrEe app if you won’t let use it without paying anyway? Gross ### 1/5 — Not free, don’t get fooled *2024-07-20, version 3.4.3* Not free, nor a chance to try it to check if you like it. Don’t get fooled. ### 1/5 — Can’t try without having free trial *2024-07-11, version 3.4.3* Can’t just try the app without having the free trial, can’t count down an event to the second, ### 1/5 — PARA TUZAĞI *2024-05-04, version 3.4.3* Hiç indirmeyin 1 hafta ücretsiz sonra saplamaya başlıyor , TUZAK ### 1/5 — Totally overpriced *2024-04-13, version 3.4.3* Ridiculously priced. ### 1/5 — Not free any longer *2024-02-21, version 3.4.3* App just forced me to either pay or no longer be able to see my countdown. Adios. ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-01-01, version 3.4.2* This is just a terrible app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Military Events *2024-01-23, version 3.4.2* Air Shows and other public events (Veteran’s Day parades) put on by the military should have a choice of photos. Blue Angels, Thunderbirds, the American flag “Old Glory” and elite guard photos would be awesome. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2023-11-26, version 3.4.1* Very good programme .
