It would be complete if it had an option to edit an existing event (eg vacation plans change) and a repeat event option (eg birthdays). ### 4/5 — Widgets need to be added *2015-03-20, version 3.0* I see the potential for this app but add a widget and I will raise to 5.👦 ### 5/5 — AWESOME *2014-06-01, version 2.2* I LOVE THIS APP IT'S SIMPLE CLEAN AND UNCLUTTERED COMPARED TO ALL THE OTHERS PURCHASED. ONE REQUEST THAT I HAVE IS THAT YOU MAKE IT SO THE APP ALWAYS SHOWS YOU THE DATE OF THE EVENT. AND IF YOU CAN MAKE IT SO YOU CAN CHANGE THE FONT SIZE AND COLOR. PLEASE MAKE IT SO THAT I DON'T HAVE TO DELETE THE TIMER AND MAKE A NEW ONE JUST TO EDIT THE TITLE. ### 4/5 — Good simple app *2013-11-07, version 2.0* It would even be better if the developer may allows it to notifies me about the events. So that it would be very good reminder that worth paying for. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-05-15, version 1.0* Love it. ### 5/5 — Flawless *2013-05-13, version 1.0* It just does exactly what it says on the box. :-) ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2013-05-12, version 1.0* This is an excellent app. It is very user friendly and easy to navigate. Thoroughly enjoying it! ### 5/5 — DownCount *2013-05-11, version 1.0* Great new App! Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Just Amazing *2013-05-11, version 1.0* amazing app! keep up the good work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Erased all my countdowns *2021-06-09, version 3.4.1* Not sure if it was because of a recent update and I thought I had backups through iCloud but all my countdowns were erased. I tried erasing and reinstalling the app and enabling iCloud to see if they would come down but no luck. :( ### 1/5 — Retirement countdown *2015-08-10, version 3.1.1* Have just purchased above named app and have not been very impressed, moving from on screen to another takes a lot of tapping the screen on my phone, it is not slick and cans be very frustrating. Or is this a clever way of keeping me occupied till my retirement comes ### 1/5 — Poor app *2015-03-21, version 3.0* Doesn't work over the cloud. ### 3/5 — Nice but *2025-12-28, version 3.4.1* Simple but useful. However, tapping the arrow does nothing; I cannot view the expanded display. Also, cannot change the units; would be nice if users could view the durations by weeks or months or minutes or seconds. Just for fun. ### 3/5 — Lacking essentials *2017-02-15, version 3.1.1* There's no way to edit the time or the title of a countdown timer. There's no way to change the appearance of the timer font it's very thin and the ability to make it thicker or change the font would be highly desirable. ### 3/5 — Nice! But missing a feature *2016-03-16, version 3.1.1* Application is good. It provides for more than one countdown. However, I wish they would have included "Years" left. Also, the color scheme is very dull. B/W isn't that appealing! Bring in some colors and perhaps a clip art. ### 3/5 — Simple and clear *2015-09-03, version 3.1.1* A simple app which does the job. I would ask for a couple of improvements which would make the app more usable. 1. Allow an editing function to allow updates to your created event (such as a change of date or time to the event). 2. Allow an option to decide how you want the countdown displayed. i.e. hrs/mins/sec or yrs/weeks/day/hrs/secs etc. the only option at the moment is hrs/min/sec. I have events which are several years away so it's difficult to perceive remaining time. I have messaged the developers a couple of times but have had no reply. Could be a 5* app. ### 3/5 — Lots of potential *2014-03-25, version 2.2* Keep working on the data input and management features. Interface is awesome, don't change the theme you have, it's simple and clean, perfect. Add a scroll wheel option to input # days (no one has that). I hate counting days on a calendar: when they say escrow closes in 30 days I want to use a # wheel to input. Great job on interface-keep going!!!! ### 4/5 — Simple and Works *2021-03-16, version 3.4.1* I like the simplicity of the app and it is easy to enter the various dates I want a countdown too. Appears to have iCloud synchronization which is good. And I like that it shows full screen in landscape mode on iPad. The slight negatives are the fonts on the main screen are very small and is light grey, so hard for this old guy to see. There also doesn’t appear to be a way to set a reminder for any of the dates, which would be nice but may take away from the simplicity of the app. When I installed the app hadn’t been updated in over a year, hopefully the developer hasn’t abandoned this app. ### 4/5 — It will become perfect if it has edit and note function *2016-12-01, version 3.1.1* It will become perfect if it has edit and note function ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent for pinpoint countdown timer! *2022-02-10, version 3.4.1* Truly awesome. You can set up a count down timer to the exact minute of the day!!! I haven’t found another app that does this ### 5/5 — Indispensable *2018-10-25, version 3.2.3* I experimented with several similar apps. This one is by far, the easiest to use, and he’s 100% reliable. I use it daily! ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-03-18, version 3.2.3* Using it to countdown to my next vacation! ### 5/5 — Perfect for me *2018-01-20, version 3.2.3* I think it’s great, but I’m also the developer :) ### 5/5 — Wonderful Countdown App *2017-08-18, version 3.2.1* I love this app and use it for all my important life events! It is a well designed app and is very easy to use! ### 5/5 — Clean and Simple *2015-08-30, version 3.1.1* I was looking for a countdown timer that would give reaming days before a deadline with no distractions. This app does exactly that. ### 5/5 — Great *2015-04-17, version 3.0* Love to watch countdowns ### 5/5 — Amazing *2015-03-21, version 3.0* Love this app xD ### 5/5 — Amazing *2015-03-21, version 3.0* This app does what it says and is a great way to check how long ur event is going to be. Just a few improvements should be made like the app goes off when u press on it and it takes a couple of minutes to come back on but other than that the app is amazing and people should download it NOW ### 5/5 — An Hour Off, But Still Great *2014-10-19, version 2.2* Don't know what everyone else sees, but the countdown is exactly an hour off for me. Maybe an iOS 8 thing, maybe a DST thing, but whatever. When you're counting down to an event months away, one hour isn't the point. The point is getting a sense of it, seeing the clock move, enjoying the excitement of whatever event lies down the road, and at that, this apps excels, elegantly with a clean interface and cross-device syncing with iCloud. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
