### 1/5 — Ugh

*2022-09-15*

I loved this app until this last apple update.  I can’t get into it. Not to see the dates or to add an event.   I have important dates in the app I can no longer see.  😭

### 5/5 — An almost perfect simple app

*2022-03-15*

An app which is so simple in concept but so necessary that I opted to go for the IAP. Wishlist includes tabs to manage different kinds of dates seperatly like Shipping, Birthdays, Expiries etc. And if I could sync the data through iCloud or any other service to all my devices, it would be gold. 

Unfortunately, whenever I recommend it to someone, its almost impossible to search and find this app in the app store for some reason, and I always need to go to my purchased history and search the link from there. Keep updating this app Dev please!

### 2/5 — Might be ok

*2021-03-16*

Would only let me make TWO entries before forcing me to pay! Not much of a trial...

### 5/5 — Please update

*2020-04-19*

Perspective is an amazing, simple but very useful app. I consider it one of the most important apps on my iPhone. Please don’t abandon it. There is no substitute app for it. The name is perfect. Please update 🙏

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2020-04-13*

Use it all the time and just realised I hadn’t left a review - 100% recommended. Many thanks!

### 5/5 — This app just works

*2019-09-27*

I love the simplicity of this app. Similar apps require timestamps, which doesn't work for me because I cannot remember the specific hour/minute in which I last engaged in my habit. I'd love to see support for newer iPhone models' resolutions sometime in the future, but this app works well on my iPhone XR nonetheless. Thank you devs for creating an app which helps me, even if only in a small way, with my recovery x

### 2/5 — Days?

*2019-04-08*

Doesn’t count days.

### 4/5 — Simple and useful

*2018-12-02*

Excellent for keeping track of things. I kept asking myself “How long since I last cut my hair, again?” and now I always know. I just wanted to see a grouping feature, as I have many things I like to keep track of from my studies of languages, but it looks like the developer is long since active.

### 5/5 — Just right!

*2018-11-28*

This app provides all things I needed:
(1) Count since past events and until future events.
(2) Adjust display of count so not always "days".
(3) Simple clear display.

### 1/5 — No reminders

*2018-09-24*

Absolutely zero alerts or encouragement. Pretty useless. Would never recommend this app.
