### 1/5 — It just stops counting

*2021-02-22*

It just randomly stops counting so the actual number of days without is incorrect, defeating the whole purpose of the app! I would avoid. There are free apps that do the job properly (which I only found after buying this one. Very annoying)

### 1/5 — Costs a lot, does a little.

*2019-06-27*

For being a relatively simple app, it doesn’t do all that much and lacks some basic functionality. 

Let’s say I’m avoiding sugar- I could start the counter 2 days ago (the last day I had any) but then add 100 days today...so it’ll say 102 days without sugar since June 25th 2019. 

Because of this same lack of basic functionality, if I don’t remember if I gave myself credit already, there’s no way to tell without calculating the number of days since your start date and comparing. If it only let me add one day per any given calendar day, this would fix it.

There’s no visible difference between doing something for 30 days straight and doing something for 30 days through the course of a year. Seems like that wouldn’t be hard. Instead if I want to know streaks vs in general, I have to make two separate goals. 

I’m pretty irritated that I paid for this.

### 4/5 — Good app, but could use a few things

*2016-02-03*

Like the icon, like the layout of this app. Works well. Is a good app overall.

It could use a few things though to make it even better. For one, it needs to allow more text to display. It converts everything to all caps, so very little text can appear, making it hard to fit decent descriptions. It could also use a quicker way to reset a clock - maybe a long press? It would also be nice to allow smiley or frowny icon - a smiley one for days you are glad to be with/without something, a frowny one for days you are not glad to be with/without something (or maybe different colors?). Also, the keyboard stays in the way, blocking the date wheel for counter start. It IS possible to use since a part of the wheel appears, but it is still a bit difficult.

Good app overall. Glad I purchased it.

### 1/5 — Froze Immediately

*2015-01-17*

Unfortunately, this app does not show day total in icon badge like some other apps do. I immediately had to delete it because it kept freezing... Would not recommend this purchase .

### 4/5 — Very Useful

*2015-01-15*

The app need some functionality improvements but overall it's a really great way to stay motivated when pursuing any kind of fast diet or day-by-day goal!  

It made a difference for me!

### 3/5 — Great Start!

*2015-01-01*

Although this app may not be worth the $1.99, some additions can be made to make things worthwhile. 

1). Widget for Notification Center to see your countdown on the fly. 

2). Ability to manually organize goals. 

3). Possibility to maybe be able to share success with friends 

4). A comprehensible chart that shows your progress. So let's say you went 15 days without smoking, but then you gave. You reset. Then you go 65 days....etc. then the chart can show if you're gradually improving or not. 

Additions like these would make $1.99 a better buy and 5 stars! It's a good start though.

### 4/5 — Nice Little App

*2014-11-24*

I found this app by searching the App Store for 'days without' and I was really happy to find out it exists. I wanted to have something to motivate me to drink less often, so a ticker that can be reset is perfect. The idea is simple- you set the variable that you want to be without (or with), and leave the auto-count to do its thing. It started for alcohol for me but now I'm tracking days without crisps, chocolate and exercise as well. I don't want to give up any of these things (in the case of exercise I want to do more of it, but tracking my days without it is a reverse positive). I love quickly opening the app and seeing where I'm at right now. If I'm 0 days since my last packet of crisps (chips if you're American), I'll think twice. There's a sense of pride in keeping the numbers as high as they can be- EG I'm now on 6 Days without alcohol. 3 days without exercise also though.. Not so great. One improvement I'd like to see is to be able to set whether having days without something is a good thing or not. I got congratulated via a notification last week that I'd had 8 days without exercise! I'm not the kind of person that is ever going to exercise every day, making the 'days with' option not viable. Overall very happy with the app and have easily saved the £1.49 I paid for it already by not buying alcohol/crisps/chocolate as much.

### 1/5 — Not good for the price.

*2013-01-28*

Doesn't allow you to delete entries.
Would be nice if you could have 'days with' as well as 'days without'.
Navigation clunky.

### 1/5 — ?

*2012-12-16*

Not working properly

### 5/5 — daigo

*2012-06-09*

My original Review:
Great. Simple and Clear. Would be good though to input a backdated 'since' date.

Now thanks to the 'update':
Still Simple and Clear, and even better now it's possible to enter a 'past' start date. Ideal for those who've been keeping their 'record' for some time and have just found this useful app
