### 5/5 — Love the sharing option!!

*2026-08-14*

Very easy to use. I’ve been using a different event countdown app for nine years, but I was looking for an app that allow me to share my events with friends without them having to re-create the event. Just create the event  in Reach and text the link to your friends. 

The option to have widgets is very inexpensive and the perfect edition to my home screen.

At this point the display options are pretty basic, no extra fonts or font colors, but it does allow for me to use my own photos.

I always have an upcoming vacation and love seeing the days count away. 

I recommend this app. 😊

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind review! 😊 It really helps a lot. We built Reach to be as intuitive as possible, so we're really happy you're enjoying it!

More widget customization options are coming in the future, but we want to make sure Reach stays practical and easy to use.

Thanks again for your support! ❤️

### 5/5 — Pretty good!

I haven’t been on this app for a long time but I like how it keeps me on track for important days. It also makes the days waiting feel shorter because if you just have a little widget on your phone it’ll show you ea vc day making it much less of a wait!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review! We’re so happy to hear the app and widget make the countdown more enjoyable. We really appreciate your support!

### 5/5 — Easy to use
