### 1/5 — Bugged

*2022-02-06, version 0.14*

As of time of writing, wether it’s a bug or unintuitive intentional design, you cannot edit your events. In order to change the name or date, you must go in and delete the event and create a new one. Good luck

### 1/5 — Widget

*2020-10-29, version 0.14*

Widgets do not automatically update. I have to open the widget to update the countdown

### 1/5 — Can’t add events manually

*2020-09-02, version 0.10*

I can’t add events manually

### 2/5 — Links not working

*2025-09-08, version 0.14*

The aesthetic of the app is great, and I appreciate that most feature are free, however the whole purpose of downloading the app for me was to share the link with others to countdown, and the link was not working for anyone. Disappointed.

### 2/5 — Subpar

*2021-04-06, version 0.14*

Not enough events to track and or follow!

### 2/5 — Doesn't update

*2020-09-23, version 0.13*

The countdown works fine in the app but the widget does not update if you add it to your Home Screen. My countdown has said the same date for 3 days on my widget but is accurate if I open the app. What's even the point then?

### 3/5 — Web link to invite friends won’t work

*2024-08-18, version 0.14*

Help

### 4/5 — Great app

*2021-02-22, version 0.14*

The widget event countdown feature is awesome. Is there a setting or perhaps a future option to have the event name custom text appear in the widget. Having more than one makes it confusing what can be what.

### 4/5 — Great but could use improvement

*2021-01-20, version 0.14*

The app is great in its simplicity but it would be nice to be able to select which part of the image is captured when used as a widget. Often times, the days left cover the image or the image is cropped and missing the focal point of the picture entirely.

### 4/5 — Good but..

*2020-10-25, version 0.14*

Had to change the date but wouldn’t let me so I had to delete the event and re-upload everything and now is a day off.. thats why I gave it 4 instead of 3 stars. Other than that, I love the widget

### 5/5 — Perfect widget

*2021-03-23, version 0.14*

Custom photos for events. 
Multiple widget sizes.

### 5/5 — pretty dope

*2020-12-16, version 0.14*

good app i guess

### 5/5 — free widget!!!

*2020-10-29, version 0.14*

slaps

### 5/5 — Super sleek and easy to use

*2020-08-17, version 0.7*

Love this app so far! Had a hard time finding one to count down to my wedding, and this was exactly what I was looking for!

### 5/5 — My Opinion

*2020-08-01, version 0.5*

Absolutely love this app! The aesthetic, simplicity, the countdown, everything !! What really caught my eye at first in all honesty were the “preview” pictures because they looked similar to some pictures I would take. My sister is a photographer and I love the outdoors so great job in capturing such a cool vibe ! I’ve downloaded all the apps from this developer because they gained my loyalty. I definitely recommended this calendar app which I suggest using it in “dark mode” if you have an iPhone because it just looks cooler in my opinion ;)
