We could definitely use them ### 5/5 — My sound don’t work *2020-10-06* My sound worked when I first got the app and now it won’t work and my other apps sound work perfectly fine I really hope it gets fixed bc I really like the app so far that’s the only set back ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2020-09-23* Great app. Does what it needs to do well. It just could use a notifications feature. :) ### 5/5 — Download it every year *2020-09-10* It is such a cute yet simple app and I love downloading it every year when it starts getting chilly. It’s so simplistic yet effective in its aesthetic and extras like sounds and backgrounds. Recommend 10/10. ### 5/5 — HALLOWEEN Count Down!! *2020-08-14, version 3.4* I WISH YOU HAD different sounds and that is different and NOT ALWAYS THE SAME ONE!!👻 ### 5/5 — Halloween *2020-07-29, version 3.4* Halloween ### 5/5 — Halloween is the best time of the year!! *2020-07-20* I love all things Halloween. October is my favorite month. ### 5/5 — Yae *2020-05-24, version 3.4* Hooray for today ### 5/5 — It’s Great but.. *2019-10-15* It’s great but if you add more characters beacause I had this app last year and not much has changed but the custom wallpaper! Simply just advice from a fan of the app ### 5/5 — It’s Fun *2019-05-07, version 3.3* Enjoying the countdown of the three major American Holidays. I like this best for the sounds and erierness. ### 5/5 — I like it. *2019-03-17* Always look forward to Halloween. The count down put me in the mood. From spring planting to harvest. It’s all about Autumn. ### 5/5 — Great Fun for Halloween! *2018-09-18* It’s everything you want and are hoping for in a app like this. Never glitches, completely customizable and super fun! I love how you can put your own pictures on the wallpaper of the app and get to choose whatever music that’s in your Apple library to play every time you open it! It’s super fun and great for what it needs to be. Definitely recommend it if your a big Halloween lover like me! 5/5 ### 5/5 — FUN! SPOOKY! HALLOWEEEEEEN! 👻🎃 *2018-09-04, version 3.3* How can you not love Halloween?! Fun little app to count down to one of the best days of the year. 🎃👻 ### 5/5 — Halloween countdown *2018-08-22* Best countdown app ever ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too. Many ads for other apps *2024-07-17, version 3.4* This app use to be fun not any longer. A banner to install a QR code reader app keeps popping up and covering the animation. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Nice App But Annoying Adds *2021-08-01* The app itself is very cool and very customizable. However there are ads at the top that are distracting and you can't get rid of them. I'm not going to be forced to watch these ads so I deleted the app. ### 1/5 — Can’t access the pro version I paid for *2020-07-07* I bought the pro version, so I don’t have to look at ads. Every year I was able to download the app and restore purchase. Now I can’t find where to download that version. I’m not able to update as I have a 6 plus. ### 2/5 — Yeah ok... *2010-10-20, version 0* It's great to know how long until Halloween but it's kind of lame. It only says days and there's nothing customizable either. I got a free app for counting down until Christmas and it says everything including seconds. You can also change the music and stuff too. Sure this is free also, but I wouldn't expect any less from these "countdown" apps if they all don't cost any money. This review basically explains it all. ### 3/5 — Meh... *2025-09-21* This is not that exciting, maybe it could have mini-games that earn you coins, and if there is a ghost and you click it you would get 200 coins or something. (I am doing this on a iPad) Also, it is small (I only use my iPad virticly) ### 3/5 — Pretty cute *2018-09-12* Sometimes the music works....sometimes it doesn’t. Everything else is adorable. ### 3/5 — Does the job *2017-02-17* My only complaint with the app is sometimes it doesn't play the music that I said it to.... other than that it's a pretty decent app does what it's supposed to do. ### 3/5 — Good for a quick reminder *2011-10-09* Kids love seeing the skull and pumpkin as well helps them too see how many days are left before candy day! ### 3/5 — Halloween count down *2010-10-28* Not bad but it would be nice to have other pictures then that of the skeleton head thank you. ### 3/5 — Awesome *2010-10-08, version 0* Tap twice on the screen to get the skulls eyes flashing red ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nostalgic *2025-06-08* This is a simple app yet it’s actually nostalgic now. I have always loved Halloween and have used this to show my children. They’re all a lot older now and they often talk about how they loved seeing this app as a child and how it’d get them excited. ### 5/5 — Halloween App. *2024-04-04, version 3.4* Great App, easy to use and fun! Music is awesome! ### 5/5 — Good *2023-07-16, version 3.4* Creepy but cute. And the days are correct ### 5/5 — All Hallows’ Eve *2021-10-15* I really like this app. I’ve been using this for years. The app lets you use your own music. 🙂 ### 5/5 — Please download! *2021-10-09* Hi my name is lilly and I want to say this is the best countdown app ever I really like it because you can import your own background music and you can choose your own character and it is very correct on when Halloween is as a huge Halloween fan I definitely approve of this app and I think that it’s amazing that everyone needs to download it I was trying to tame my iPad a Halloween theme because I was bored and I found this app last year and I was like oh I remember this one app maybe I should get it and I saw that it had improved a lot over the year love y’all good day/night/afternoon. ### 5/5 — Luv ur game *2021-10-07, version 3.4* Best game ever!! ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-09-30* It’s super cool and I love doesn’t have any glitch ### 5/5 — Greatest App Ever *2021-08-07* My first app ever and it is the best !!!! I always know when Halloween is about to arrive. Everyone I show the app too loves gets it and digs it ! What more to say than laugh like the Halloween skull. Hahahahaha ! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-07-03* It’s such a fun countdown and is worth the download in my opinion I had this in 2020 but I had to delete it for my data but now idc about data ### 5/5 — Best Halloween Countdown App *2020-10-20* Seeing all the other ones, I got this a few years ago so I don’t remember if this costed money, but regardless, I know if it was it wasn’t expensive at all, but what I was saying is you can put a picture in the background, change the color of the text, and even put your own music in the background. You can also choose between having different interactive faces that make noise over the picture, or choose to not have any. It’s a really good Countdown app for Halloween --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
