Subscription

Hey! I am trying to reach out to customer support . My subscription got renewed on 7th october by mistake. I am no longer usjng the app . Can you please cancel and refund me. It’s important.

Response from developer

Sorry about the surprise renewal. Apple handles every App Store purchase, so refunds and cancellations have to go through them — we can't do either from our side. To ask for the refund: go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, find the Outside charge and choose "Request a refund". To stop it renewing again: iPhone Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, Outside, Cancel. If Apple turns the request down or you get stuck anywhere, email team@outside.so and we'll help however we can.

Good to go

Most recent update fixed my problem!

Tbh this app fixes something I miss since transitioning to iOS from Samsung, days until / countdown

Great app with free widgets, but minor bug recently

Outside has been a great app for countdowns, and since I started using it at the start of this summer it’s been great! Even with just the free features there is a great amount of customization, and it’s been a great app. However, a few days ago I started seeing a bug I’d never had before. I like to put my countdowns in days and turn on detailed units, which in the past has been great. However, recently my countdowns have all been a day off. I have one for tomorrow that should be less than 24h away, but it currently says 1 day 20 hours instead of just 20 hours. Similarly, for something I have two weeks from today, it says 14 days 15 hours etc instead of 13 days 15 hours. This does not completely break functionality, since if I turn off detailed units it still effectively counts the right number of days, just rounding up rather than down. Still, this was not something I experienced on countdowns even a week ago.

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words and for such a clear, detailed report — you diagnosed it perfectly. That off-by-a-day rounding with detailed units was a timing bug on our end, and it's now fixed in the latest update (0.88.5). Please update and your countdowns should read correctly again. Really glad you've enjoyed Outside this summer, and thank you for helping us make it better.

Was working until iOS update and all my countdowns are lost

App asked to sign up thought it would remember / retain what I had on my other phone but it just deleted the data on that phone as well smh 🤦‍♀️

Hey please can you email and we can see what happened and get them back

iOS Update issues

Every time the os gets an update, the widgets are not working.
Lately I had to create the widget again, afternoon became black. But even then the counter does not count the days anymore. Even on the next day, the counter sticks to the wrong value.
