But takes too long to pull up *2026-07-22, version 3.35* Love the function. Want it to pull up faster than it does ### 4/5 — Super great!!! *2026-07-15, version 3.35* This app is super great and handy, but when you put it in a widget the only problem is that you can’t keep the original colour, if the app colour is different. But overall super good ### 3/5 — Great! Love it! *2026-07-12, version 3.35* I love this app for countdowns so I don’t forget any birthdays or special events! It has super fun pictures and I love making it a widget! My only thing is that you can only have five events at one time unless you get premium. ### 5/5 — What happened to widget function? *2026-07-07, version 3.35* This app was perfect until widgets started malfunctioning a few weeks ago - now they don’t work at all and it was one of the main draws for me! Can you fix this? Update - Found response from support (thanks!) in my spam but regrettably the problem got worse after the most recent update (used to have a couple of widgets greyed out, now they are all greyed out). :( ### 5/5 — Well worth the cost *2026-07-01, version 3.35* Excellent app that I’ve had for some years now. I really enjoy customising the dates, whether it’s to list concerts, work events or just to get excited about upcoming days. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2026-06-28, version 3.35* Absolutely fantastic app. I use it to keep track of basically everything. Calendars don’t work for me cause I forget to check them, so always seeing what’s coming up with this app has legitimately improved my life in a big way. I am so much more organised than I used to be without it. ### 5/5 — The best! *2026-06-20, version 3.35* I absolutely love this app! The widgets are so great to keep track! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-06-15, version 3.35* Great ### 5/5 — Quit asking me to review the app *2026-06-15, version 3.35* Quit asking me to review the app all the time ### 5/5 — can actually use widgets *2026-06-12, version 3.35* very happy with this app, just wanted a simple countdown app where i could put widgets on my home screen but unfortunately too many put that feature behind a paywall. there’s also a bank of images you can use for the background of the countdown, and the widgets have a nice design ### 5/5 — ❤️ this app! *2026-06-11, version 3.35* I love this countdown so much! It is very user friendly and helps me remember there is something to look forward to! ### 3/5 — Good *2026-06-06, version 3.35* Good but u get only a few events to countdown or you have to pay more and u have to pay to select what days to include so, annoying ### 5/5 — Days *2026-06-02, version 3.35* Great app. Totally free you can have as many as you’d like I went through a lot of these types of apps and this is by FAR the best one ### 5/5 — Absolutely love this app *2026-05-31, version 3.35* It is the budget friendly (free) countdown app you don’t need to buy any passes or anything and it is an amazing app ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-05-31, version 3.35* I can countdown to my vacations easily with this app. I can have it as one of my widgets too. ### 4/5 — Good *2026-05-29, version 3.35* Good but u get only a few events to countdown or you have to pay more and u have to pay to select what days to include ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2026-08-12, version 3.37* Only lets you do a few and then makes you pay. Dumb. ### 1/5 — Money hungry *2026-07-11, version 3.35* I used to use this app to allow myself to get excited for the 2-3 big events of the year. Holidays, my wedding, work events. Then something happened meaning anything I click on only results in the upgrade button. I can’t use this anymore - there is no free version. Yes, I’ve deleted it, losing my history, and reinstalled. Nope, they still demand I go Pro. ### 1/5 — My review *2026-07-07, version 3.35* It’s good just has a limit of like 5 but I like that you can add ur own pictures ### 1/5 — Widgets don't work on iPad *2026-06-14, version 3.35* I have this app on my iPhone and I love it. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of buying the premium and then downloaded to my iPad. It is useless here. All of the widgets are just gray and contained no data. I have been searching for a solution for over an hour, and I can't find anything. ### 1/5 — Used To Be Good *2026-05-24, version 3.35* I used to love this app but now it’s locked behind a pay wall if you want more than one event at a time. Most people at least give you 3. Time to uninstall & find a new one. Or just go without. ### 1/5 — Basic features locked behind subscription *2026-05-23, version 3.35* I've downloaded so many countdown apps just because I wanted a simple widget on my home screen. But nowadays even the most basic features are locked behind subscriptions or paywalls. I understand apps have costs, servers, development, maintenance, etc. But at this point, it would honestly feel more transparent to just charge upfront for the app instead of advertising it as "free" and then trapping users once they've already set everything up. A simple countdown widget should not require another monthly subscription. ### 1/5 — Constantly begging for money *2026-05-13, version 3.35* Guys, it’s an app that counts down to a specific date. It’s not rocket science and this constant begging for money is kind of icky. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2026-05-04, version 3.35* Doesn’t do what it claims! Waste of money ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-05-01, version 3.35* Having an add pop up on my widget countdown is insane. 😂 ### 1/5 — Having countdown hours is a premium feature *2026-04-09, version 3.35* What it says in the title. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for *2026-08-23, version 3.38* Perfect free app! Easy to use & it even helps you add a widget . ### 5/5 — Best app *2026-08-15, version 3.37* I tried many countdown app and this one is clearly the best ### 5/5 — Perfect App! *2026-08-12, version 3.37* It’s free, and you can get up to 5 events without paying! Once you remove an event you have more space for another! My favorite part is you can recommend this app to other people, and it will give you free rewards! (App icons, up to 6 events, and free months of pro!) This app also supports widgets for your home screen, so you never forget when something is coming up! In conclusion, this is an awesome app. ### 5/5 — Love! *2026-08-11, version 3.37* Love getting excited for upcoming trips and events! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-09, version 3.37* Love counting down the days ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-08* Needed an app for tracking and this does just the job. Lovely photos too ### 5/5 — Best countdown App EVER!! *2026-07-28, version 3.35* When another countdown app severely failed me by deleting all of my events with an update, I immediately started searching for one that had iCloud backup and this one has got the bill so far. ### 5/5 — Really good *2026-07-23, version 3.35* I just wish the free version had more ### 5/5 — This app is fully worth your time! *2026-07-14, version 3.35* This app is not like the others. You are given the option to make your own countdown, and that’s specifically what I was looking for! Not only does it give you the option to make your own, it allows you to add this countdown as a widget to your homepage. I tried many apps and they would make me pay to add the countdown to my homepage. But this app lets you add to your homepage without paying which is one feature that I wanted! I definitely recommend this app as for all the features that apply to what I wanted! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-08, version 3.35* Good --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
