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.

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 🤦‍♀️

Response from developer

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.

Days are less than 24 hours!

Why since yesterday has my countdown moved from 78 to last night 77 and now 76 days? Not a good countdown

Can’t add photos to more than one.

I tried to do a lifetime subscription but couldn’t get more than one to add a photo. Not user friendly app at all. I deleted it.

Great app!

Been using this for over a year. Super simple, great UX. 9/10!

Scammed

When I first got this app, I thought it was great, I could communicate, post and me and my significant other can easily navigate through the app. Now it wants us to pay to chat, makes the app hard to navigate due to them wanting us to pay for a subscription. What a huge downfall

Annoying

This app is the most annoying thing I have ever used. Someone tried to share an event with me and I tried to download it and the app made me jump through absolute hoops to do anything. Horribly annoying. Do not recommend unless you enjoy putting yourself through tedious tasks

Cool concept

It’s a cool concept but it wouldn’t let me share my countdown which was the whole point of downloading the app so I deleted it.

Great!

No hiding things behind paywalls, great and simple app. It would be good to countdown in weeks as well.

No opinion yet

Haven’t had a chance to use it yet

Response from developer

Fair enough 😄 Hope Outside is useful once you’ve had a chance to try it. If anything feels confusing, email team@outside.so and we’ll help.

Off By A Day

Honestly the app is just what I needed. A bit glitchy, but overall easy to get set up. It is a bit unfortunate however that an app that’s sole purpose is to provide a countdown would be one day off. I just had to push back the date a day to get the correct number of days, but that probably shouldn’t be the case lol.

Ignore the others - get this countdown app

All the other apps that offer a countdown hide their widget behind a paywall, making it mostly pointless. I saw a Reddit post from the creator of Outside saying that the widget is FREE for this app. It’s true! It’s also a much prettier app. Deserves more recognition as the best app of its kind.

Response from developer

Thanks for such a nice review!!

Great planner app

I’ve tried other planner apps and this one covers everything I could want. Invite friends to view. Widget capable. Daily countdown. Different versions of widgets.

So good!

Works great for my needs and the widgets are actually free. The best app for tracking countdowns. Thank you!

Love it

It’s amazing I mean amazing now. I know when my birthday is I literally love this app.
