### 4/5 — Good but...

*2021-08-29, version 2.0.2*

What would make this a 5 star app is to make it compatible for my watch

### 5/5 — Works great

*2020-01-03, version 2.0.2*

I run a food manufacturer and use this app for my lot tracking. Works really well and have no complaints. Thank you so much for creating this app.

### 4/5 — Apple Watch?

*2019-11-24, version 2.0.2*

Anyway to make app available on Apple Watch? Would be great to be able to have a complication so that it can be seen at a glance.

### 5/5 — Review

*2019-06-17, version 2.0.2*

This is a great app thank you so much

### 4/5 — Exactly what you need to be effective.

Display & scroll are simple, uncomplicated, dependable!

*2019-06-01, version 2.0.2*

What I want

### 5/5 — Great Julian Date app!!

*2019-04-29, version 2.0.2*

I utilize Julian dates at work so when I need to figure out the Julian date at home, this app works great!

### 5/5 — Julian Date App

*2019-02-13, version 2.0.2*

I love having this very useful app for figuring future due dates!

### 5/5 — It’s simple and it works.

*2018-12-02, version 2.0.2*

It does the job.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2018-09-19, version 2.0.2*

It’s a great app, use it all the time

### 5/5 — Julian app is great for Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ERP files

*2018-03-08, version 2.0.2*

Quick and easy for me to interpret Julian dates in JD Edwards files as a software developer

### 5/5 — Works great in govt application

*2018-01-19, version 2.0.2*

This will provide you the number of days from the first of the year. Or you provide a date and it will count out the days.  Works best for those who use applications that require that type of accounting. For me it’s a must and I appreciate the simple presentation ... and the fact it has a complication for the iWatch. This latest version is the best. Yup, I pay for it but well worth it. I used it daily... thanks for a great app. Now I can look back 2years and find the Julian date for 12 August...

### 5/5 — Perfect for Julian Date

*2017-03-10, version 1.0*

It's simple. And if you use Julian dates its the one you need!  I've been looking for a Julian date Application and this one is better and easier than what I expected.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Trying to sneakily get money

*2019-03-08, version 2.0.2*

Every time you touch the screen it initiates an in app purchase, be careful!

### 1/5 — They charge you

*2018-07-03, version 2.0.2*

I never read anywhere they charge you, I get a monthly 2 dollars charged for this basic app

### 1/5 — Not working correctly now.

*2017-12-15, version 2.0.1*

Entering 08204 and getting a January 24, 2008 date.

### 1/5 — Wait...

*2016-09-10, version 1.0*

I was totally trying to find the seven digit Julian date... I have no idea what the 5 digit one is. So that was a bummer for me.

### 2/5 — Need to make it so you can use on  i-watch

*2020-12-08, version 2.0.2*

Is there a way to get it on I-watch

### 2/5 — Year 2000

*2016-09-27, version 1.0*

The year 2000 is incorrect. It is NOT a leap year. "The year must be dividable evenly by four and NOT evenly by 100."

### 3/5 — Could be improved

*2021-09-25, version 2.0.2*

1.  When open, it should keep time with the clock.
2.  If not #1, then provide a one-touch update
3. Improve contrast and readability or offer options.

### 3/5 — Good app

*2021-01-18, version 2.0.2*

It would be a better app if one could add days to the Julian calendar to determine actual dates.

### 3/5 — Just an idea

*2019-05-30*

It looks like a great app. It would be alot easier if I could add it to a widget or if the date popped up as an icon on the app itself so there is no need to always have to go into the app to check the date also it doesn’t show up with my apps so there is no way to pick which notifications I would like to set for it.

### 3/5 — May not be what you're expecting...

*2016-07-14, version 1.0*

There are Julian dates (typically 7 digits referring to the number of days since noon, November 24, 4714 BC) and the simpler 5 digit Julian calendar of 365 days in a year. They are not the same. This app is for the latter, and does a good job of it from what I can tell. But sadly wasn't what I was expecting. If the app is enhanced to explain the differences between these often confused constructs, and ideally calculate either one, I'll happily update my rating.

*2021-04-19, version 2.0.2*

### 5/5 — Aviation Taught Me Julian

*2021-03-11, version 2.0.2*

After 30 years being amongst Aviation enthusiasts, and how technology advances continue to surprise, this APP is just the best, when your counting days this APP is the “bomb.”

### 5/5 — Simple but reliable

*2020-08-06, version 2.0.2*

I work on a rotating shift that requires a Julian date on the product and paperwork.  It is always handy to have after a few days away from work to remember what the date is

### 5/5 — Simple an accurate

*2020-05-26, version 2.0.2*

Great app, does what it need to be done, clean interface
