### 5/5 — Love!

*2023-12-03*

Out of the all the countdown apps I’ve used, this is the one I most like—for one reaso
: it’s the most visiually appealing.

### 5/5 — Best Days to Go App

*2019-12-12*

Love the flexibility and customization available! 
Great app!

### 1/5 — Badge is crap

*2019-10-05*

Can’t turn on app badge icon without stupid notifications

**Developer response:** Awesome.  Thanks for the feedback.

### 1/5 — App Won’t Share

*2019-07-04*

Don’t buy if you want to share on Facebook it states you have to have admin permission. I requested it, and received no response. Bad purchase. Had to get another app just to be able to have a countdown. VERY DISAPPOINTED

### 1/5 — Disney Countdown

*2018-12-11*

Does not work with Facebook, very primitive. Certainly not worth 99 cents. Do not recommend to others. Only set up to load 1 picture at a time with an iPhone
 8.
 Don't waste your time with this one.

### 5/5 — Best countdown

*2018-01-14*

Love this app have used it for years. Love the widget and personally can up load pictures. Currently using for Disney world, but can be change for other vacations.  The daily chime is the best.

### 4/5 — Great App!

*2017-09-21*

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

### 1/5 — I must be missing something

*2017-08-25*

If all there is to this app is the ability to add photos, change the font of your countdown banner and change the background color of the banner, then don't waste your money.  There is nothing to it as far as I can see.
Now it constantly has a pop up on EVERY photo asking if I want to review the app.  The only way to make it go away is to review the app.  So, here it is.  Don't buy it.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2017-07-24, version 2.50*

Love it

### 5/5 — Great App

*2017-06-07*

This app is fun and provides us a fun way of tracking our count down to our trip. I would highly suggest!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback.  May your countdown go quickly.
