It’s cool but I don’t understand…

I love the fact that I can make persona themed reminders but when I add a widget I don’t know how to add a count down to it. Sadly the app won’t tell me how too. Can anybody help?

Just as intended

I can now set myself reminders and think to myself “This is just like Persona 5”

I also pay attention to it the most out of any reminder app I’ve ever used

Love the app and all the features but it won’t save any of my countdowns and has deleted my old ones. Been happening for about two months now

Broken

It was fine before, but the new update came and deleted all of my countdowns. I stuck with it and redid them all, only to find they delete every time i open the app 🙃

Great but no longer works

App is fantastic, utilising the countdown from the franchise into my day to day life makes goals worth doing.

However it has been broken for a while and no longer works
