Undisputed champ

This is hands down the best countdown app. Super simple, works well, full of features, and looks good enough to be a default iOS app. I’ve tried all the competitors. This one’s the best. And the dev keeps up with regular updates and new features. Amazing!

Love it!

A great way to track all the important things on the horizon - an easy way to remind yourself of important deadlines or nice things to look forward to.
