Sometimes I enter a coming event and it will not change from the last one that was deleted. I’ve tried entering it multiple times with no success. ### 2/5 — Widget stopped *2025-11-07, version 2.5* The widget stopped working with the iOS 26 update, it is just blank now. ### 2/5 — Widgets stopped working *2025-10-22* This was working great—liked that I could use my own picture to create a widget. But it’s no longer working. The widget is still there but it’s blank—no picture, no countdown. I can open the app & my countdown is still going. But I miss seeing it on my main screen as a widget. I recently updated my iOS & it seemed like that’s when it stopped working. ### 3/5 — Cannot change the day *2025-09-04, version 2.4* The app allowed me to set the time but not the day. I could not change the day from today so I can only count down events that happen today. My clock already does that. ### 4/5 — App is great BUT… *2025-06-04* App is great you can have many good features including automatic renew and color coordination and even making it sit on your home screen BUT i have a HARD time editing my current events so i have to make a new event everytime which is sad but it’s what i have to do. Also please fix it! ### 2/5 — Can’t pick the date *2025-01-03, version 2.4* Date picker has been broken, now I can’t create new events. Truly disappointing since I paid for the pro version. ### 3/5 — Would like to see days til the event, not months and days *2024-08-15* There’s not much too this app. But your developers are offering the wrong customizations. No one cares what color your logo shows up as on the Home Screen, but you’ve made that an option. But I can’t change how I want the countdown to show. My preference is days/minutes/seconds, not years/months/days/minutes seconds. Seems like an easy fix. Wish you would invest in doing that. ### 2/5 — Annoying *2024-08-13, version 2.4* Hard to change date and to add dated to widget. Annoying. ### 2/5 — Can’t set dates *2024-02-09, version 2.4* Used to work great, but as of quite a while you can no longer set or change the date for any events, new or old. Making it basically useless ### 4/5 — Ok App. Not sure of its future though *2024-01-21, version 2.4* Hard to get date to select so may need an update. App support is only available via X and to message, you need to be verified Their X feed looks like 2020 last posts. So i am not sure if we will see any further updates. Repeats are nice but an option to repeat every x days, or x weeks would be nice. Even adding an every 2 weeks option would be good Thanks ### 2/5 — Date disaster *2024-01-04, version 2.4* Great in principle, but cannot change the date of an event as it appears to default to the next day. Bit pointless for a ‘countdown app’, really. ### 4/5 — Good functionality, wish it had more *2023-01-22* The app has good functionality and runs well, but the widget is a bit lacking. Maybe it’s what I expected and what I’m looking for. It still works well and didn’t want to knock it for that. What I was looking for, was a long widget (rectangular) to show in big numbers the months, days, hours and seconds. Guess I best keep searching ### 4/5 — I love it *2022-10-18, version 2.4* Amazing app, it's very useful and very helpful , i love it, i even upgraded to the pro. But I would really appreciate it if there was more events in the explore section like boxing events or wrestling events ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2022-08-10, version 2.4* Deleting. Glad I didn’t purchase the Pro. version. ### 4/5 — Would love to track days since X event *2022-06-29* Great app with a nice widget feature. I wish I could use this to count the days since an event happened, too (e.g. X number of years/months/days since an anniversary or other event). I’m currently using “Countdown” app for that, but that other app’s widget mode isn’t customizable at all. ### 3/5 — widget Sharing *2022-05-02, version 2.4* The one thing i don’t like is you can’t share the widget with your friends which should be a feature in the app Because my friend and i wanted to have the countdown but can’t ### 2/5 — Widget doesn’t work *2021-12-16, version 2.3* I would love this app but it does not allow me to add a widget to my Home Screen. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-04-07, version 2.5* Just shows a colour block instead of the photo selected and no dates. Useless. ### 1/5 — Seems broken - can’t pick date *2025-07-07* I don’t like giving poor reviews but this app doesn’t seem to work properly. This looks like it should be a very capable countdown app. I was looking for something that could display a widget on my Home Screen. I downloaded this app and got the “pro” version after giving it a quick try. I can’t find a way to change the date when making or editing an event. There’s clearly a place to make date edits, right next to the time setting, however the date is not changeable and nothing happens when it is tapped on. I am on iOS 18.5 if that helps! ### 1/5 — Unusable *2025-02-07, version 2.4* For some reason I’m not able to change the date on a new countdown. I’ve been using it for a year but now that’s broken? That literally makes it unusable. I’m about to uninstall. ### 1/5 — Can no longer edit dates *2024-07-02, version 2.4* It’s no longer possible to edit event dates so the app doesn’t really work anymore. ### 1/5 — Scam. Buyer beware! *2024-06-25, version 2.4* This app no longer functions yet they are still accepting users’ money. Avoid!!! ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2024-03-19, version 2.4* I used to use this app for countdowns to all my holidays and it was very nice to look back on all my previous trips. However, it seems like a new update has restricted you from changing the countdown date, only the time…so now you can’t countdown anything more than 24hrs…completely pointless now. Will be deleting. ### 1/5 — Change date doesn’t work *2024-01-31, version 2.4* In iOS 17.2.1 I am not able to change the date. Bummer ### 1/5 — App stopped working… *2024-01-19* I’ve been using this app for the last couple years now to track events on my phones homepage. And as of the beginning of this year, it stopped working and allowing me to adjust the day and time of each event. Looks like they aren’t even fixing any bugs as of a year ago. Guess I’ve got to move on to something else ### 1/5 — No longer working *2023-12-26, version 2.4* Very annoyed. Paid for this and it just stopped working!!! ### 1/5 — Can’t change the date *2023-11-20, version 2.4* After 2 countdowns I now can’t change the date. So it lasted an hour, even the paid for option. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Where’s the widget function? *2023-10-06, version 2.4* I don’t know if it’s a recent iOS 17 issue but there’s no option to add widgets from this app. Please can this be fixed? Seems good apart from that. Actually, update…. You may have to reboot the phone for this app to appear in the widgets list. Did for me. Works now 😃 ### 5/5 — Countdown calendar *2022-02-11, version 2.4* I can’t get music. videogames. Concept. ### 5/5 — Update the app *2021-10-26, version 2.3* Is a great app im enjoy a lot but the categories game is not showing try to fix that plz ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-05-28* I love the way this app is organized. In other countdown apps I have used I was not able to favorite more than one event and had to reorganize my events into chronological order. This app allows me to favorite more than one and organizes them for me! ### 5/5 — Great app, little feedback *2021-02-16* I really love using this app, I use it all year for events. My only feedback is I wish I had the ability to repeat a reminder bi-weekly. I only see Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly. It would be great to see that in a future version! ### 5/5 — Been looking for this a long time *2021-02-03* Easy to use. Make perfect countdown widgets. Wish you could create groups or add tags so you could see just birthdays or doctor appointments, etc ### 5/5 — Good Countdown Widget *2021-01-03* I downloaded this awesome app and also paid for the premium version. It does what you want which is countdown. I just wish I had some extra things such as 1 : Automatic Light/Dark mode for widgets 2. Ability to automatically go the next closest countdown after a countdown reaches zero. 3. Setting to turn off hours/minutes and only show days left. Aside from those suggestions I really like having this widget on my homescreen! ### 5/5 — Doesn’t Work *2020-10-25, version 2.1* This app isn’t worth your time. It doesn’t change how long until your event is. ### 5/5 — Hey, nice app! *2020-10-23, version 2.1* Two things I would personally appreciate: 1. An option to show the next event, whatever it is, in a the widgets. 2. Just one alternative font :D ### 5/5 — Loving the app, a few suggestions *2020-10-16, version 2.1* Hi team first of all am loving the app. I have a few suggestions on how to tweak it so it’s perfect. Can you make a setting so that the widget won’t show the event title, as I know what the event is due to the photo I upload. IE a Christmas photo for Christmas, a pic of my mum for her birthday event etc. Also maybe adjusting the widget so we can select if we want to view it by month/days or by just days. As personally I prefer to see how many days I have left rather than months. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
