Countdown helps you keep an eye on the dates that matter: birthdays, trips, deadlines, anniversaries. Add an event and see at a glance how many days are left (or have passed). What you can do: • Personalize each event with a background image (from your photos or the built-in set) and a theme color • Choose your favorite font for each event • View the list as a row, small grid, or large grid • Add to the Home Screen the widget with your upcoming events list, or the one with a single event of your choice • Set your preferred date format and turn on Dark Mode Adding an event takes a few taps: tap "+", enter title and date, pick a background and a color. To find one, just type the name. Your events stay on your device. No accounts, no tracking. ## Key features - Home screen widget - Customizable date formats - Dark mode support - Per-event color selection - Intuitive interface - Event management ## Recent user reviews (10 of 17) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/day-counter-countdown/id1042260326/reviews.md ### 2/5 — Widget not found *2025-07-21* iOS 16 iPhone SE can’t find the widget. **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for your feedback. On iOS 16 and later, widgets need to be added manually. Just long-press on the Home Screen, tap the “+” button, search for “Countdown”, and you’ll find the widget. If it doesn’t appear, make sure the app is fully installed and updated. Feel free to reach out through the app if you need help — we’re happy to assist! ### 5/5 — Excellente appli, très utile, quelques suggestions ! *2025-05-11* Je trouve cette application très simple et agréable à utiliser. J’apprécie beaucoup de pouvoir choisir des couleurs différentes pour mes événements, et même créer ma propre couleur. Cependant, j’utilise toujours la même couleur personnalisée et elle ne s’enregistre pas dans la sélection, ce serait vraiment pratique que cela puisse être corrigé. Je n’utilise pas le mode sombre parce que je trouve que les couleurs ne sont pas jolies quand il est activé, mais j’aimerais vraiment pouvoir l’utiliser car cela fait moins mal aux yeux. Ce serait bien si les couleurs pouvaient rester plus vives en mode sombre. J’aime aussi le fait qu’il y ait plusieurs formats de date proposés : c’est rare d’avoir autant de choix dans une application de ce type. Il serait utile d’ajouter dans les paramètres un lien pour contacter le développeur, et aussi un lien pour évaluer l’application, car parfois ce n’est pas possible quand il n’y a pas assez d’avis. En haut de l’application, il y a une bannière rouge : j’aimerais pouvoir choisir sa couleur. Le widget est très pratique pour moi, surtout parce que j’ai des problèmes de mémoire. Par contre, je trouve que les événements à l’intérieur du widget sont un peu petits et difficiles à lire. Même s’il n’y a pas énormément d’espace blanc autour, il y en a quand même assez pour agrandir un peu la taille du texte, ce qui améliorerait la lisibilité. Globalement, cette appli m’aide beaucoup au quotidien. Merci pour votre travail ! ### 5/5 — Suggestion *2025-04-12* It’d be great to add font size options for small and large widgets to make them look more balanced and easier to read. ### 1/5 — En anglais seulement *2025-02-09* Contrairement à ce qui est annoncé, cette application n’est pas en français. Vraiment trop basique. Poubelle, ne sert à rien. ### 4/5 — Mi piace *2020-05-30, version 1.3.1* La trovo molto piacevole, molto minimal. Sarebbe utile se venisse introdotta la possibilità di avere il widget. ### 3/5 — Super simple and easy to use just one issue *2020-05-28, version 1.3.1* The countdown counter is “reversed” as to how I would expect it to be shown. If I am counting down to Christmas I would expect to see this as 210 days to go and not -210. Past events I would also find easier to comprehend as negatives showing the event has expired. An option / setting to alter the view would make this very useful. ### 3/5 — Application simple mais simpliste *2019-10-03* Pour argumenter simple mais simpliste, je pense qu’il manque des options pour que cette application soit réellement attrayante. Exemple : la possibilité de décompter en mois ou en années pour des échéances de prêts ou de loyers ou encore programmation d’alertes à date. Sinon, cela ne mérite pas d’être une appli payante. ### 4/5 — Change date order. *2019-10-01* I’d prefer to see the date as Month/Day/Year thanks ### 4/5 — It’s ok *2019-10-01* Need widget ### 5/5 — simple *2019-01-14* does the job beautifully - ## Frequently asked questions about Day Counter ### What does this app do?
