### 5/5 — This is my number 1 used app!

*2026-02-26, version 2.0.1*

I have such a busy schedule this helps me stay organized on my Mac, iphone and most importantly my watch widget. I look forward to the new update. Thank you for this app!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-09-08, version 2.0.0*

The paid Apple Watch complication/widget doesn’t work or update correctly. Defeats the point of having it unfortunately

### 5/5 — This app is EVERYTHING I NEEDED!!! Will this be updated to iOS 26

*2025-09-05*

Will this be updated to iOS 26 (widgets) or Apple Watch smart widgets? I have a very busy schedule. This helps me keep track of how much time I have left during appointments. In addition it shows my free gaps count down times before next appointment comes up. Definitely worth the pay for additional features.

### 1/5 — Broken + Abandoned

*2025-08-04, version 2.0.0*

The "Current" feed no longer displays today/current events - despite them correctly showing in the "Upcoming" tab. 

This makes the app (+ apple watch complication) useless; showing as Empty.

Also, the 'restore purchases' button is broken, and the developer ignores emails to the fact.

Don't waste your time or money on this app.

### 3/5 — Have devs abandoned this?

*2025-03-31, version 2.0.0*

The iOS and WatchOS apps are super simple to use but the UI is extremely unattractive and there’s no Apple Watch widget. The MacOS app wouldn’t even open. Why have this in the app store if you aren’t going to keep it relevant and working properly?

### 5/5 — Nearly perfect

*2025-02-10, version 2.0.0*

This app works perfectly as advertised and is great for giving me a light at the end of the tunnel for my long hospital shifts. It just wish there was a way to add a custom event for, say, a much needed vacation coming up in six months to help me visual how close I’m getting to that event.

### 1/5 — Watch Complication No Longer Works

*2024-12-19, version 2.0.0*

I don’t know what happened, but the complication I paid for no longer works. Avoid this app.

### 1/5 — Not working on new faces

*2024-11-03, version 2.0.0*

This app is showing “no event” in the new Apple Watch faces (example: photos Watch face). I tried adding the complication to the old watch faces and it does work so the issue must be something related to the update on Apple Watch faces. Please fix this! I use this app a lot and find it very useful.

### 5/5 — Won’t work on my watch anymore.

*2024-09-28, version 2.0.0*

I hope it can get fixed. I use it everyday on my watch. I’ll miss it if it is gone.

### 5/5 — Great for school

*2024-09-25, version 2.0.0*

I would definitely recommend this app to anybody who has a daily schedule for school/work, especially if you have an Apple Watch. I don’t know why it’s not more popular!Knowing exactly how much time you have left for an event is so much better than having to memorize all the times for when things start and end. The app supports complications for Apple Watch but you have to pay 3 bucks if you want it to show the amount of time left, otherwise it’s just an icon you have to press to open the Apple Watch app. I’d totally prefer the purchase though.
