### 3/5 — It does the job

*2025-11-09, version 1.0.8*

My concern is that I’m paying a monthly service fee for this, but the countdown won’t update on its own. I have to manually go in and save it again for the countdown to update

### 5/5 — Simple and smooth

*2025-11-03, version 1.0.8*

Countdown works great, and the widget never lags.

### 5/5 — Minimal but effective

*2025-10-25, version 1.0.7*

### 5/5 — Handy

*2025-10-06*

I use the widget just to see my countdown at a glance

### 1/5 — Pricing

*2025-09-29, version 1.0.5*

Ridiculous pricing for a countdown app.

### 5/5 — 👍

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2025-09-06, version 1.0.4*

I use it for deadlines at work and personal events. keeps me organized without effort

### 3/5 — Almost perfect

*2025-08-24, version 1.0.3*

I like the simplicity of the app and ability to have widgets on the Home Screen and Lock Screen. However my widget won’t update… so I have to click into the app everytime I want to see an accurate countdown. I’ve tried adjusting settings and deleting/re-adding the widget, and still didn’t work. I’ll still use it. But takes that extra step to see the proper countdown.
