### 5/5 — Cool app

*2024-02-17*

Nice smooth countdown

### 1/5 — Ohne Funktion

*2018-04-30*

Einfach nur schlecht

### 1/5 — Kein Stern

*2017-08-11*

Funktioniert nicht und ergibt für mich keinen Sinn. Dann zu guter letzt versehentlich auf Upgrade gekommen, gleich mal 1,09€ von der Visa weg ohne irgendeine Info oder Anforderung einer Bestätigung ob ich das überhaupt möchte. Das ist Betrug!

### 1/5 — Die übliche "Free" Mogelpackung

*2014-12-20*

In der kostenlosen Variante nicht zu gebrauchen.

### 1/5 — No point

*2012-12-16*

The iPhone already comes with a countdown timer. You also have to pay to set an amount of time other than two minutes.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2012-11-29, version 1.0.0*

Useless because you have to buy the app in order to change the time from two minutes. You also can't select a date, worst countdown app imaginable.

### 1/5 — Only counts down from 2 minutes

*2012-07-04*

Can't change it from  starting point of 2 minutes. Keeps taking me to a website for more stuff.  Delete.

### 1/5 — Forget this app!!!!!

*2012-04-06*

Reines Lockmittel für ein bezahltes Upgrade oder andere apps
