SCAM!!!! I can just write down the days for that price. Ew ### 1/5 — O widget *2026-08-19* O widget é a coisa mais básica desse aplicativo, aí você faz toda a configuração e depois percebe que precisa pagar **Developer response:** Olá gabsbrito2, Obrigado por dedicar seu tempo para compartilhar seu feedback. Entendo que possa ser frustrante se você esperava que o widget fosse gratuito e peço desculpas por qualquer confusão. Se ter um widget gratuito é essencial para você, este aplicativo pode não ser a melhor opção. Dito isso, a versão gratuita inclui bastante coisa: eventos ilimitados, importação e exportação de calendário, lembretes, tags, personalização de cores, eventos recorrentes, sincronização com o iCloud e suporte para Apple Watch, tudo sem custo adicional. A compra única ajuda a financiar o desenvolvimento e a manutenção contínuos. Estamos trabalhando ativamente no desenvolvimento e aprimoramento do aplicativo há mais de 7 anos e nosso objetivo é mantê-lo sustentável a longo prazo, continuando a lançar atualizações. Se você tiver alguma dúvida ou feedback adicional, entre em contato a qualquer momento pelo e-mail facundo@findappiness.co. Obrigado novamente, Facundo ### 1/5 — Countdown *2026-08-18, version 7.0.1* It doesn’t actually count down the days unless you pay for premium, wouldn’t recommend. ### 1/5 — Have to pay to use *2026-08-17, version 7.0.0* $6.99 - just make us pay to download you chuds ### 1/5 — Super cool *2026-08-16, version 7.0.0* I love that. It tells me every day bc 24 hours and especially my birthday.

Sumiu e não tem mais a opção de adicionar **Developer response:** Olá pilote 787, Obrigado pelo feedback e desculpe pelo inconveniente. Por favor, tente reiniciar o Apple Watch e o iPhone. Depois, tente reinstalar o app no Apple Watch. Se isso não resolver, entre em contato comigo pelo e-mail facundo@findappiness.co e me envie mais detalhes para que eu possa investigar.
