### 2/5 — Keeps crashing

*2026-01-04*

Want a picture as background, this feature disappeared and app keeps crashing

### 3/5 — It’s too simple

*2025-07-04*

Ideally this is what I was looking for something simple but I would like to see the actual date when I go directly to the event, at a minimum. But it would be nice to see the date in the listed events also.

### 4/5 — Alright, but

*2024-08-29*

I would love to have the ability to make a widget that counted days since an event.  It doesn't look like I can do that unfortunately.  Everything else works fine and the photo background feature is a great selling point.

### 5/5 — Wish it would show ‘Today’ instead of moving on…

*2023-11-23*

Love the app. It does exactly what I need it to do. I like the option of adding my own photos or CCO photos. My only complaint is that I wish it would show Today when you hit 0 days on a countdown instead of skipping onto the next entry. For example, when it’s counting down to a birthday, I want it to show the birthday as Today when it hits 0 days, but it goes to the next upcoming event that is days, weeks or even months ahead. You kind of feel robbed of the day when viewing it in the app, because it’s moved on already.

### 3/5 — Cant erase any old countdown

*2023-11-13*

It’s a great app besides you have to pay to have more than two countdowns and you can’t erase any old countdowns- it’s goes from days until to days since but they’re forever there unless you probably pay to get the most expensive version of the app

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2022-07-31*

Every time I try to add a custom photo the app crashes.

### 1/5 — Eh…

*2022-07-22, version 1.7*

Can’t share to another person, can’t add to a calendar & no one to reach out to, to help. Sent an email…. 🤷🏻‍♀️🙁

### 4/5 — A few problems.

*2022-06-15*

It is a great app but, there is a few problems. I set this for a certain date, and if the days were 20 you have to read it as 19. Last problem can we not use the whole picture? Why cut out the whole background??

**Developer response:** Hello. I don't understand what you mean by the 20/19 days. The whole picture sometimes has to be cropped because the dimensions of your picture likely don't match the dimensions of your screen.

### 1/5 — There isn’t a pro app

*2022-02-16*

I bought the pro version of this app, supposedly lifetime. There isn’t such an app. Not in their links, not in the App Store, not in their list of products they have. It is a scam. My app keeps asking me to pay to update. I already did so, but I paid the money and nothing came of it. I have requested a refund. Use another app.

**Developer response:** Hello. There is a Pro version. You can even see it listed on the App Store description of the app. Just to be clear, this app would not have passed Apple Review if it didn't do what it says it does. Now I'm happy to help if you need to figure things out.

### 4/5 — Great! Just wish I could see in weeks!

*2022-01-19*

Doesn’t show countdown in weeks.

**Developer response:** Hello. Your issue with no being able to use your own photos is most likely due to the fact you denied the app access to your photos when prompted. To fix this, open the Settings app, scroll down to the Countdown section, tap on it, and select PHOTOS. Then make sure ALL PHOTOS are selected.
