I’m using it for counting down to the end of my vacation when I fly home. It allows me to keep track of how many days I have left to fit in last minute fun things to do. It’s a very user friendly app and is easy to customize. You can use it for many things like counting down to the first day of summer, or to the first day a movie is released in the theaters, or to Christmas Day. There are so many uses! ### 5/5 — Yes lad ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2024-05-28, version 7.31* Yes it’s really good, me and the kids love it ❤️ ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-04-22, version 6.2* Best app ever ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2023-02-04, version 6.2* This has too many ads pop up. Very annoying ### 5/5 — Keeping track *2022-10-21, version 6.2* I love being able to keep track of all of my vacations. I think I could use it for other important events as well. Thank you ### 5/5 — Good app *2022-07-08, version 6.2* I know it’s just a count down but it even has the second. And because it’s free and easy to setup. ### 4/5 — Love and Heat Relationship *2021-05-08, version 6.2* I gotta give this app credit because we are in the middle of the pandemic yet THIS app continues to make me look forward to holidays. Yet in the last 2 years I have booked 3 holidays that have all gone to waste because of coronavirus. To be completely honest this app is currently useless. But every time I go on “Holiday And Vacation Countdown” I am happy. Thinking of what could be. This app could be so good. Just booked my 4th vacation... still haven’t learnt my lesson 😜 ### 1/5 — Adds *2021-05-05, version 6.2* To many adds and you can’t get them off the screen long enough to screen shot it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disney World Vacation *2025-02-22, version 7.34* Date will not allow me to reset default date to correct date. ### 1/5 — What happened……???? *2024-02-05, version 6.4* I’ve had this app for years…..I’ve used it every year to count down our summer holiday (only time I ever use it, so free version was suffice). Never had a problem in the past. Went to go do the same for our 2024 holiday and I can’t even edit/input a date and time. Guessing I have to upgrade to a paid version if I want to continue? ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-08-18, version 6.4* 1. To many pop ups. You need to pay $2 just to get no ads! 2. Countdowns often brake and are duplicated and replaced with other duplicates. These countdowns also aren’t deleted as soon as they go off but instead stay there, very useless. 3. Despite being a free app you have to pay $2 to buy an expansion. You can only have 4 countdowns at a time that often don’t delete properly, forcing you to by the subscription. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-03-31, version 6.2* Just downloaded it….. 2 minutes later I’m deleting it. ### 1/5 — Ads are horrible *2023-03-19, version 6.2* The pop-up ads are horrible l…at least 10 while I was entering my vacation info. Deleting 😬😖🤬 ### 1/5 — Paid for Advertisement *2023-02-22, version 6.2* I paid $5.99 not to see the advertisement and that didn’t happen. What’s App advertisement continues to pop up. When you forward it to friends it redirects them to the app instead of sharing your experience. I would not recommend it!!!!! ### 1/5 — Awful *2023-01-19, version 6.2* Worst thing I’ve tried to use ### 1/5 — Caution *2022-02-14, version 6.2* Just paid the $9.99 for no ads. But still getting ads including Google ? ### 1/5 — Used to be good, now annoying *2021-12-14, version 6.2* This ISED to be a fantastic app 3 years ago. Tried it again today to try it with an upcoming cruise. Bombarded by ads CONSTANTLY - as in every click on the page results in 5-6 seconds of some useless ad. TOTAL JUNK!!!! Frustrating, annoying, useless! ### 1/5 — Ads *2021-06-08, version 6.2* Too many ads! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Builds Anticipation *2024-07-21, version 7.34* Fun tool to use, especially with kids to look forward to something coming up. ### 5/5 — Pretty unique *2024-07-19, version 7.34* This is app is different. ### 5/5 — Helpful! *2024-07-19, version 7.34* Helps keep track of all countdowns! ### 5/5 — Vacation Anticipation *2024-07-18* I love the excitement and anticipation that leads to the start of a vacation. This app brings this all together. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-07-18, version 7.34* Good app ### 5/5 — Super easy to use *2024-07-18, version 7.34* It’s really good. Totally recommend ### 5/5 — A Great Game *2024-07-18, version 7.34* Fun and one of the best i ever seen. ### 5/5 — Very good app!! *2024-07-16, version 7.34* This app is very fun and customizable. I love it because you can create your own personal style just the way you like it. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2024-07-15, version 7.34* Helps with vacation planning and logistics. Keeps you very organized. ### 5/5 — Nur noch Werbung…bis heute *2024-06-17* Seid geraumer Zeit nur noch übergroße Werbung. Man sieht kaum noch die eingegebenen Countdowns. Und werbefreie für 6,99€ finde ich schon arg übertrieben. Update: Die Entwickler hatten wohl ein Einsehen und haben die übergroße Werbung wieder entfernt. Ich hoffe, es bleibt so 👍 **Developer response:** Wir haben uns entschieden, es so zu belassen, da wir erkannt haben, dass dies die Nutzererfahrung verbessert. Wenn Sie zufrieden sind, würden wir es begrüßen, wenn Sie die Bewertung aktualisieren würden. Das hilft uns ungemein. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
