## What is Holidays and Vacations?

While waiting for the holidays or the next school vacations, don’t you sometimes wish to have a good overview of the upcoming free days?

Whether you want to have an overview of your kids school vacations or to be able to guess changes on the traffic density due to public holidays, with our Holidays and Vacations App you will easily access these valuable information for many different countries including popular travel destinations worldwide.

◆ Europe (Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Germany, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, Moldova, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Slovenia, Slovakia, Turkey, United Kingdom)
◆ North and Central America (Canada, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico, USA)
◆ South America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru)
◆ Asia (China, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Singapore)
◆ Africa (Togo, South Africa)
◆ Oceania (Australia, New Zealand)

From this variety of regions you can easily select the one that interests you. The corresponding holidays and school vacations for the selected year will be listed in an overview. In addition to that, you’ll be able to add all kinds of holidays to your calendar view, like dates that are not public holidays or dates important to a certain religion, as well as holidays of other countries. 

You can add holidays and school vacation yourself. Like that you can help us to complete missing information and make it available for other users.

With the help of the integrated countdown you can easily keep an eye on the upcoming holidays and school vacations: just mark any future holidays you like in your overview and the app will show you how many days are left until then. This also works with every school vacation.

New holidays and school vacation data will be loaded automatically to the app.

You can also add your private vacation in a separate list to see how many days are left until the next one starts.

### 5/5 — Eine meiner ersten Apps

*2024-10-23, version 5.0.9*

Ich verwende die App seit Jahren und sie war immer ein zuverlässiger Begleiter. Vielen Dank dafür. Ich bin gespannt auf die neue Version. Hoffentlich übertreibt ihr es nicht bei dem Abo-Kosten.

### 5/5 — Gefällt mir sehr sehr gut! Ist übersichtlich und bietet alles was ich benötige!

*2024-04-16, version 5.0.9*

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

### 5/5 — Tolle App

*2024-01-28, version 5.0.9*

Sehr übersichtliche App. Bitte schnell die neue Version auf den Markt bringen

### 5/5 — Übersichtliche App

*2023-11-16, version 5.0.9*

Nutzen diese App öfter,  verschiedene Schulferien der Enkel. Sehr übersichtlich, leider keine Aktualisierung

### 5/5 — Tolle App …

*2023-06-08, version 5.0.9*

… die genau das bietet, was man von ihr erwartet. Was will man mehr :-)

### 2/5 — Works pretty good but still there is room for improvement.

*2023-05-11, version 5.0.9*

It’s a good Calendar App. It shows all the holidays as they should appear. The only problem is that I have facing is that the settings does not save the changes as it should do. 

Hopefully this gets fixed on the next edition.

### 5/5 — Tolle App

*2023-02-07, version 5.0.9*

Ich finde es richtig schade, die Eistellung dieser App. Sie hilft mir immer die genauen freien Tage sowie die richtigen Ferienanzeige. 
Ich hoffe, nächste App wird genauso gut mit richtiger Anzeige.

### 5/5 — Ferienübersicht

*2023-02-07, version 5.0.9*

So hilfreich, man kann schnell zurückgreifen und hat alles auf einen Blick

### 4/5 — Keine Aktualisierungen mehr

*2022-10-20, version 5.0.7*

Die App würde 5 Sterne bekommen, wenn die Termine noch aktualisiert werden würden. Man kann nun die Termine selber eintragen, und auch veröffentlichen, was hilft, aber es ist schon nervig.

### 4/5 — Aktualisierung

*2022-09-21, version 5.0.7*

Tolle App!
Doch ohne Aktualisierung leider nicht mehr zu gebrauchen!
