I was able to build what I wanted, but it wouldn’t save to the homescreen that way. I tried to contact the creator, but the messages within the app would not send. ### 4/5 — great fun and cute! *2026-06-28, version 3.60* it’s awesome! but I wish you didn’t have to pay to the plus stuff because I thinkSince it’s only like a few other things that you can get like a few little edit things and you can put it on your screen I think you should be able to have it for free because a lot of the other apps you have to pay and the ads are annoying ### 2/5 — Need assistance *2026-05-30, version 3.58* Unable to contact app help for size, color and countdown support ### 1/5 — You have to pay *2026-05-21, version 3.57* Requires payment to have countdown widget ### 5/5 — Love it. *2026-05-07, version 3.52* I use this app a lot!!! ### 5/5 — The Best *2026-05-04, version 3.52* This app is so useful for if you are going on Holliday or something else 5 stars download it now 😌 ### 5/5 — Freedom *2026-05-03, version 3.52* Exelent App ### 1/5 — App no longer working *2026-04-28, version 3.52* It just keeps telling me to restart my iPhone. Paid for the “premium” version and now it’s just a gray box where the widget is. Please release update!! ### 5/5 — Countdown to Victory *2026-04-28, version 3.52* I love to be able to keep up with my days til retirement. This app is so easily used and gratifying to look at the time I have left. ### 5/5 — Best app *2026-04-22, version 3.52* All it does is keep tack of great days. Pension. Retirement. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Should be free *2026-07-27, version 3.60* The most basic of functionality should be free, but capitalism needs to nickel and dime us :( ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-07-27, version 3.60* I did purchase the extras and they do not work. Can’t contact app support bc it’s in another language. ### 1/5 — Unauthorized Charges *2026-07-20, version 3.60* This is a scam, the app is supposedly“free”. I haven’t used any template that cost money and I started receiving charges of 4.99$. There are no subscriptions and no options to buy anything, so why I am being charged? There is no Q&A for charges… I need that removed/refunded. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-07-16, version 3.60* The app was advertised as displaying on Home and lock screen, but does neither one. It is a complete rip off. You are paying for nothing. You have to open the app to see the actual countdown. ### 1/5 — Kein Start *2026-07-04, version 3.60* Bei der Widget startet der Countdown nicht er bleibt hängen friert ein ### 1/5 — Took me to a malicious website *2026-07-01, version 3.60* This app took me to a malicious website. I had it looked at from Apple and I just wanted to write you a review. I was almost about to be scammed. ### 1/5 — Why Charge? *2026-06-16, version 3.60* It’s so dumb that all of these countdown apps make you pay for a widget 🤦🏻‍♀️ ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-06-15, version 3.60* Does not stay on my Home Screen ### 1/5 — bday *2026-06-07, version 3.58* when i select my bday to be november 28 it’s literally doing today’s date until 12 am and im trying to set it to be how many days left of my bday its glitched ### 1/5 — Bad app. *2026-05-22, version 3.57* Makes you pay. Don’t even waste your time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Do NOT pay for the premium *2026-08-03, version 3.60* I paid for the premium and the customized widget feature doesn’t work. ### 5/5 — Any event *2026-07-18, version 3.60* This app counts to birthdays, vacations and any and all events needed to be counted down. Love it! ### 5/5 — I love this app!! *2026-07-13, version 3.60* I love how the events are organized in a quick glance list. I also like how the app is updated on a regular basis. I like the exclude weekends feature. I would like to suggest an app feature for a separate "TODAY" section for events happening today, like "PAST" but "TODAY" so you can see a list of what is happening today. Also: there is a bug where the app crashes if you add an apostrophe to a word in an event: like Milo's Tea. The app crashes if you add an apostrophe. Please fix this bug. Thank you!! EDIT: There is a bug when you a set a repeat, it doesn't show the correct countdown when you set a repeat for an event. ### 5/5 — best app ever *2026-07-11, version 3.60* this app is great for counting down to all the vacations we have planned and keeping our anniversary date exact!! ### 5/5 — I love this app!! *2026-06-29, version 3.60* I love how the events are organized in a quick glance list.
