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? ### 3/5 — Issues *2024-07-09, version 2.0.0* This app is pretty good. But I’m having a big issue. However, I think I’m either having an id10t error or a bug, on my end, because the internet is not helping me. But for “upcoming events” the widget will ONLY count down for the beginning of the event. Not the beginning. And this is a big issue, for me, as I wished to use this app for time management. If I see this issue fixed, I’ll be glad to return with a glowing review. But, as of now, I paid $3.00 and did not receive what I thought I would :( ### 3/5 — Great…but… *2024-02-21, version 2.0.0* I have been searching for ages for this simple but essential app since another similar app disappeared from the App Store. So pleased I found it and paid for it as well. However, unfortunately widgets don’t seem to work on the phone and watch complications are hit and miss.large complications are accurate. Tiny complications don’t work at all and Corner complications display the correct event, but the time left is completely wrong. ### 4/5 — good app *2023-11-07, version 2.0.0* A widget would be incredibly useful ### 3/5 — Fatal flaw *2023-08-24, version 2.0.0* Beautiful, perfect app. Amazing calendar sync and apple watch complication. But the complication countdown is bugged. It displays the time until the END of the next event, rather than the start. PLEASE ### 3/5 — Good but odd *2022-11-01, version 2.0.0* The Apple Watch complication has a countdown for the end of an upcoming event rather than for the start of the end. Say for example I leave work at 10 pm, it’ll be counting down till I leave work before I even start. It’s weird and I’m not sure how to fix it. It’s good during the current events and helps me track how long I’ll be in class or at work. If there is a way to fix my problem it would be 5/5 stars. ### 3/5 — Support for Apple Watch *2022-09-15, version 2.0.0* Writing here because I don’t know where to get support elsewhere. I like the app and purchased the $2.99 live complication upgrade but I can’t get t it to show up on my watch face, all that shows is the orange base complication. How can I fix this? ### 5/5 — Nearly perfect *2022-07-27, version 2.0.0* This app works perfectly as advertised and is great for giving my 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. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2022-03-03, version 2.0.0* This the app I always dreamed of having since transitioning to full time remote work in a leadership position (with lots of meetings). So much so that I was going to build myself before doing one more search through the App Store and finding this one. The only thing missing is a Home Screen widget so that you can see your upcoming events at a glance and know how much time until the next event. That would easily bump this already great app to 5/5. ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-10-09, version 2.0.0* Could we add the percentage in the Apple Watch interface also? So don’t need to click into it to check the time pass ### 5/5 — Wish I’d found this years ago *2021-06-04, version 2.0.0* A watch complication that shows your current calendar event and how much time remains in it. This is just what my brain needed. Thanks so much for making this and making it work so well. ### 5/5 — Keine Anzeige des Fortschritts bei AlwaysOn *2020-12-26, version 2.0.0* Super Idee, aber im Always On Display ist die verbleibende Zeit Anzeige leer (keine Ausblendung von sensiblen Komplikationen) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Used to be the best *2024-01-03, version 2.0.0* Absolutely essential app, but it stopped working since the update. ### 1/5 — In-app purchase disappears when you uninstall and reinstall. *2022-02-05, version 2.0.0* Buyer beware, as your in-app purchases will disappear if you delete and reinstall the app. No contact from developer and unable to receive refund. ### 1/5 — Needs an update *2021-12-02, version 2.0.0* This is exactly what I was looking for, but it doesn’t seem to work any longer. I can’t add it as a complication on any watch face and I can’t add it as a widget. ### 1/5 — Not how I expected *2020-07-03, version 2.0.0* It’s just about how many minutes remaining and how much percent. ### 1/5 — Refresh Rate *2019-09-11, version 1.0.2* I'm giving this 1 star because when I move something on the calendar it should update but it doesn't. Please fix this or refund my money ### 2/5 — Complication doesn’t show the right time *2023-02-26, version 2.0.0* I love this idea, but not all of the complications show the correct amount of time remaining before an event. Unfortunately, this was the primary reason I paid for this, so I have to give it a poor rating. Hopefully the developer will fix this, but it doesn’t look like the app has been updated in a while. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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!! ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — This app is EVERYTHING I NEEDED!!! Will this be updated to iOS 18 *2024-09-20* Will this be updated to iOS 18 (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. ### 5/5 — A fantastic time-tracking app *2024-01-29, version 2.0.0* This app is great for staying on-task, and the way it integrates with macOS and the iPhone is wonderful. I just recommended it to somebody and now they are recommending it to other people so I hope this app keeps getting developed and supported! ### 5/5 — Shows Time Left for Current Calendar Event *2023-11-23, version 2.0.0* Best app I’ve been about to find to simply show the time left for my current calendar event. I hope the developer will continue to support and update this as the last update was years in the past. ### 5/5 — Very useful *2023-11-03, version 2.0.0* This app is brilliant. Having the time until the next event on my Apple Watch seems like such a simple thing, but it’s been a game changer for staying on task and remembering what I have coming up. The only thing I would like to change is be able to restrict how long in advance events show up. For example, if it could only show events that are scheduled today, or up to 6 hours from now, or something similar. Knowing that I have a work meeting in 1 day 4 hours isn’t that useful over the weekend! ### 5/5 — Widget doesn’t work, but still fantastic! *2023-09-28* To the developer: it would be great if you could fix the widget functionality. It doesn’t seem to be working on iOS 17. To everyone else: This is an amazing app for keeping on task and finishing things on time! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
