Then it’s garbage. Don’t waste your time. ### 2/5 — Good App, but Ironic. *2026-07-13, version 2.27.0* 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. ### 2/5 — Lovely app … but too many adds *2026-06-18, version 2.26.0* 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! ### 3/5 — Great look, but! *2026-05-07, version 2.23.0* Not to sold on accuracy. When I checked weekends and added vacation days the count was distorted. Didn’t match the dependable hard count! ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-03-30, version 2.19.0* Too many ads ### 4/5 — Add quotes *2026-02-15, version 2.15.0* Just purchased it would be nice if it included daily inspirational quotes! ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-02-03, version 2.15.0* I just want to see how many days but the months come up first so when I ship to see days I have to watch a long ad every time so I will find a different app ### 1/5 — Has fishing ads *2026-01-23, version 2.15.0* Has fishing ads. ### 5/5 — All most there *2026-01-17, version 2.15.0* Go to this app daily and it is the highlight of my day when I am down about work. The pictures are stunning ### 4/5 — Great, but it needs to count down hours and minutes as well *2026-01-09, version 2.14.3* I think this is a great free app. Love that I can set it as a widget so I can just pull up my widget screen to see how much time I have left. My only minor complaint is that I wish you minutes to the countdown as well. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Google Gemini *2026-09-05, version 2.33.0* All the time, gg stop ### 1/5 — 100% trash *2026-08-22, version 2.29.0* Any use of app transfers you to another app ### 1/5 — Do not recommend *2026-08-10, version 2.28.0* Today I got notice of my account being restricted and they pushed me to get a device scrubbing program.

It’s Not worth it. ### 1/5 — Drains the battery *2026-06-08, version 2.26.0* Significantly drains my phone battery. Makes the phone feel hot. ### 1/5 — As soon as I downloaded app got errors *2026-06-08, version 2.26.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Good app Too many Ads *2026-04-21, version 2.20.0* I downloaded the app this morning as I am under two years from retirement but within the first minute of using the app, it is apparent that the ads are popping up constantly.
