## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Novelty. Not much use

*2020-07-24*

Nice to look at. Simple, single use.

### 1/5 — Crashes every time

*2015-11-13*

The app crashes each time it is opened. Not usable.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2015-10-09, version 1.3*

I thought this product with great hopes. It has never worked. It crashes the instant it opens. I've written to tech-support about it, but haven't heard anything. Don't waste your money.

### 3/5 — Nice

*2015-09-12, version 1.3*

Good graphics but no sound. 

You must add ding dong sound for every counts. 

That time you guys can get 5 star.

### 3/5 — funny little app.

*2011-02-22*

Funny little desktop thing.

However only displays in landscape, needs portrait too please.

Nice little app when I'm away from my desk

### 4/5 — Works well!

*2017-10-08*

Works just like it says it will. It would be perfect if you could edit the colors and even the text. I'm a face painter and the black/red combo is a little harsh. I'd love to match it to my business colors or a party theme. Also, being able to change "now serving" to "now painting" would be nice. Possibly they could have an upgrade to allow for customization.

### 4/5 — Works great!! But...

*2016-09-20*

Everything works as described, but I agree on the needing a sound. And most of all, it only goes to 99... I needed much more.

### 4/5 — The Count Down Shake

*2011-03-27*

It's good, like the real thing, except on the iPad shaking for a count down takes too much effort.  How about an extra button like the reset, then it would be perfect.

### 4/5 — Good

*2011-01-24*

Just wish you could also turn on a "ding" or some sound effect so when you hit the next number it has a sound too. But otherwise it is exactly as it says it is.

****update****
not sure if the dev's knew this or not but if you shake the device the numbers go DOWN one by one which is cool too. Still waiting for a sound effect (or perhaps to be able to choose from like dings, bongs, or other such) to give it that extra something.

***next update***
still no update. Still looking for a "ding" or a few other sound effects to accompany the numbers. It's what would really male this app perfect.

### 4/5 — Nice 1

*2010-01-17*

Just need the sound to make it parfait good thinking.

### 5/5 — A Hidden Gem

*2026-08-19*

Once I’m connected to Wi-Fi, this app works flawlessly and syncs across my Apple Watch, IPhone and IPad.

### 5/5 — Great Idea

*2020-03-20*

Can you please make this app really work with customers? It’s more than a great novelty idea.

I need a now serving app that notifies a customer that their number is up and they can enter the store.

We do estate sales and can only let 5 customers in at a time. The waiting customers stay in their cars till we let them know they can come in.

A free customer notify app connected to this app would be amazing!

Please please please!

### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for!

*2016-01-20*

I'm a high school teacher and I use this app every day! I made up 50 numbered index cards and students take them - the app helps me to keep track of what number I'm on. Students can keep trying to work on their problem while they wait instead of waiting with their had up in the air. Also, my quieter students get the attention they need not just the "squeaky wheels"
