I loved it! Even kept major events as anniversaries. Then I had a catastrophic issue on my IPhone and lost everything. When I went back to download load it again, it was a subscription service.☹️. ### 3/5 — Some issues *2026-06-06, version 4.7.0* Love the app! But always have issues when trying to re-subscribe. Still have not been able to re-subscribe and reactivate my account ### 2/5 — Its alright but way too many ads. *2026-05-17, version 4.7.0* Pretty much what the title says, its a countdown app but the advertising is insane. Its hard to make a single event without getting 30 ads in your face. Im not buying “countdown premium” just to tell me how much time is left until x date. Has 2 stars instead of 1 because it at least does what its advertised. ### 1/5 — All ads now not worth it *2026-05-11, version 4.7.0* Used to like this app but you have to go through a million ads just to go to your countdowns. And you have to have a subscription to do the widgets. Not worth it ### 2/5 — Costs money *2026-04-16, version 4.7.0* Costs money to add a widget 👎 ### 1/5 — Pay to play *2026-04-13, version 4.7.0* You have to pay for premium to access more than half the features. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2026-04-08, version 4.7.0* This app is a complete scam. I was forced to purchase the premium plan for more features, because I wanted to share my live countdown on Facebook and none of them work. Please do not waste your time purchasing anything on the app. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2026-04-07, version 4.7.0* No widget option unless you upgrade for $$ and not user friendly ### 2/5 — Widget *2026-04-04, version 4.7.0* Needed a widget but this one makes you pay for it didn’t need it that bad , app deleted ### 1/5 — Unusable *2026-04-03, version 4.7.0* The adds will lock up the app and cannot ever get past them. ### 2/5 — Ugh. Premium *2026-03-30, version 4.7.0* I got this app to use as a widget countdown. However I need to PAY to use that feature, and there is no way to unselect things. That is absolutely stupid. Don’t waste your time with this app, it doesn’t work. ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2026-03-24, version 4.7.0* I used to use this several years ago and recently needed it again. There are so many ads now. Deleting it for another one without ads. ### 1/5 — Have to pay to use widgets *2026-03-18, version 4.7.0* So stupid that you have to pay money to use a widget ### 2/5 — It doesn’t put correct dates/numbers in *2026-03-12, version 4.7.0* I love the app lay out it’s amazing I just wish it would give me the actual count down my event is 53 days away and it tried to tell me it was 2 days away ### 1/5 — No longer a good app *2026-03-10, version 4.7.0* It used to be great for countdowns and milestones but now ads get in the way of doing anything ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-03-09, version 4.7.0* The design is cheap and when you add it to the widget it’s just a blank area that takes you to this app. Also there’s just random ads. Horrible app ### 1/5 — Invasion of Privacy *2026-02-28, version 4.7.0* Would not let me access my countdown unless I consented to giving them all my personal data. This was a new change so I guess I’ll be finding a new app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Just get an ad *2026-07-28, version 4.7.0* Whenever I open this app it just shows an advert for another app and I can’t get out of that to see my actual countdown. ### 1/5 — Ads Make it unusable *2026-07-26, version 4.7.0* I used to love this app, but I recently opened it and they now have ads on the main screen. These stupid ads cover up the count down text and the ability to modify settings, making the app worthless. My year charge just renewed, but I’m cancelling. ### 1/5 — Used to be a great app… *2026-06-29, version 4.7.0* But not any more. Can’t get past the ad walls at all. I don’t mind navigating past the ads but at this point I can’t even figure out how to get past them to use the app. Was always my go to before but no longer. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2026-06-16, version 4.7.0* Count get it to work ### 1/5 — App allows Predatory Ads *2026-06-12, version 4.7.0* App has full screen ads that tell you your account has been restricted for accessing adult websites and instructs you to download malware to “clean it up”. ### 1/5 — Inappropriate pop up that made it appear like hacking *2026-06-11, version 4.7.0* Accidentally clicked an add that looked like the next button and an inappropriate add popped up and my phone said it was locked due to legal activity!! Vet your vendors!! Uninstalled right away. No thanks. ### 1/5 — What have you done? *2026-06-06, version 4.7.0* I saw it says you fixed minor issues. Instead what I see if you have f’d it up. I open it and I see nothing to make a new countdown or to do literally anything. Wtf ### 1/5 — Dodgy *2026-06-01, version 4.7.0* Table to share ### 1/5 — Stuck on advertising *2026-05-30, version 4.7.0* Couldn’t see my countdown anymore because it keeps getting stuck on the advertisement and never provides and “X” to get out of it. Junk app 0/10 would not recommend!! ### 1/5 — Paywall for widget function??!!! *2026-05-17, version 4.7.0* Such B.S. It’s a simple app that should not require a paywall. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing app but.. *2026-07-12, version 4.7.0* this is an amazing app in all but i need there to be a way to put it as a widget on your device ### 5/5 — Epic *2026-05-31, version 4.7.0* I love it because I can track all of the events in my life easily as a ten year old ### 5/5 — Adult sites my butt *2026-05-29, version 4.7.0* How DARE you! I went to open my app and there is a warning across the screen saying my account had been suspended after being infected with a virus because I was hacked after watching porn. How dare you have the audacity to accuse me of such vulgarity of visiting such vile places. Ive never and would never! I thought this was a pure and safe family app but obviously I was mistaken. I have deleted the app and I put on all my social media accounts that this app speaks about pornography. Shame on you!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Ad annoyance *2026-02-15, version 4.7.0* This app opens ads when it opens that do not allow you to close them. 35 launches and back to the same ad!!! Useless ### 5/5 — 𝙻𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚒𝚝! *2025-10-12, version 4.6.8* 𝙻𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚊𝚙𝚙! 𝚄𝚜𝚎𝚍 𝚒𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚝 𝚍𝚘𝚠𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚑𝚜, 𝚠𝚎𝚎𝚔𝚜, 𝚍𝚊𝚢𝚜, 𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚜 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚜𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚍𝚜 𝚞𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚕 𝚖𝚢 𝚑𝚘𝚕𝚒𝚍𝚊𝚢.

It has amazing graphics, a helpful widget, and so much more! I have experienced some bad things, but I figured it out later. I WOULD really recommend this to anyone who has trouble with dates, just put it in here and have it notify you 3 days later! Have fun!!!!! ### 5/5 — Very good 👍😃 *2025-08-12, version 4.6.8* The biggest pro for me on this app is that there is many colour, words, and background options, all for 🆓 ! ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2025-06-09, version 4.6.8* This is INCREDIBLE I downloaded it thinking it would be a bad app with tons of ads though as I was desperate I downloaded it it amazing honestly you need to download it I love the formulas of times you can choose from from years to seconds you can also add fun pictures in the background of you choice I’m telling you PLEASE download it amazing (there is no ads 😃) ### 5/5 — honestly waste of time *2025-05-19, version 4.6.7* i know u are seriously thinking about getting this app and i wont sway u, but... u can only make ONE count down without paying. u cant make a widget without paying! + it's not just a bit of money it's a lot. i will say, good game for if u need only one countdown. 👎👌 ### 5/5 — Great apps to help with goal setting *2025-05-10, version 4.6.7* I use this app frequently to count for vacations and other special events. It helps to have a constant reminder of what you need to do and the timeframe you have to meet your goals. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
