Pay $6.99 to not see ads totally a money grab BS

How do I subtract vacation days?

I paid for full access to the features, but the “Subtract Vacation Days” toggle won’t move. It’s stuck at zero. I’d like to enter vacation days so the countdown is more accurate.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for using our app! Please try restarting the app, then tap directly on the “0” next to Subtract Vacation Days. You should be able to enter your vacation days from there. If you're still having trouble, please reach out to us at zaffles.apps@gmail.com and we'll be happy to get this sorted out for you! Thanks again, and congratulations on your upcoming retirement!

It’s aggravating, they have ads in the app

Too many ads

Too many ads

Google Gemini

All the time, gg stop

Response from developer

Sorry about the repetitive Gemini ad. We’ll do some fine tuning on the ad-serving side to help prevent the same ads from showing too often. Thanks for the feedback, and congratulations on your upcoming retirement! Team Zaffles

Too many ads!

Nice - until you go to use it and it forces ads on you that you can’t stop. Then it’s garbage. Don’t waste your time.

100% trash

Any use of app transfers you to another app

Do not recommend

Today I got notice of my account being restricted and they pushed me to get a device scrubbing program. I deleted app immediately and will not recommend to anyone.

Awesome

This is a great app! It makes counting die to retirement fun!

Good App, but Ironic.

I use to use this app everyday as a personal morale booster. However, I deleted it today as all it does is show me ads and then gives me an opportunity to pay in order to no longer have ads. I’m retiring in 6 months time, watching my budget, and, moreover, the app will be a moot point for me in 6 months time. So I deleted it and installed a different app from a different developer.

Thanks for the feedback. We understand that every expense matters when you are preparing for retirement. We offer a low-cost monthly subscription and an inexpensive one-time purchase to remove ads, but we also provide a free, ad-supported version so the app remains available to everyone. We are sorry to see you go, but we appreciate you using the app and wish you all the best as your retirement countdown reaches its final six months! Team Zaffles

No surprises

Heads up!

Smiles in Retirement

It’s nice to look at your count down and starting feel happy is the day gets nearer!!!!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so happy the app helps bring a smile as retirement gets closer. Wishing you all the best as you count down to that exciting day! Have a fantastic day! Team Zaffles

Just a click in app

No way to make screen saver unless you pay $5 a month

Minimal

Very few options to change the view, days, weeks, months

Full of ads

Skip. It’s Not worth it.

Lovely app … but too many adds

If changing from years/months to days or days to minutes, you get an annoying add appearing after you swipe - I’ve deleted the app because of this!

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback—and I’m really sorry about that experience. Ads are intended to be limited to one per session and should never block you from getting started, so after you close a single ad you should be able to browse plenty of content without seeing another. If you’re seeing multiple ads or getting stuck, that’s a bug on our side and we’d love to fix it—please email us at zaffles.apps@gmail.com. If you’d rather have an uninterrupted experience, we also offer a low-cost option to remove ads entirely. Either way, congratulations on your upcoming retirement—wishing you an amazing next chapter!! 🎉 Team Zaffles

Drains the battery

Significantly drains my phone battery. Makes the phone feel hot.

As soon as I downloaded app got errors

First time I opened app I started getting error notifications that I have viruses and wanting me to get a cleaner app. Scanned phone and no viruses. Odd that as soon as I opened I get virus warning and wanting me to download app, but when I removed this app virus warning stopped and scan show no viruses still.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. We’re sorry to hear you ran into that. Could you please reach out to us at zaffles.apps@gmail.com with a little more detail about the virus warnings you saw? A screenshot would be especially helpful if you still have one. We can assure you there are no viruses or malicious code in our Retirement Countdown app, but we’d love to better understand exactly what appeared on your phone so we can investigate further. Have a fantastic day and congrats on the upcoming retirement! Team Zaffles
