Please write us at hello@aboutmeapps.com and we'll pass the idea along. ### 4/5 — Mostly great *2024-05-03* All great except for two things; I can’t seem to connect the widget to my events, it defaults to new years which isn’t even my own countdown and I can’t find a way to change it. Also, there isn’t an option to say a specific time. I personally don’t mind that but it could be a good addition:) ### 5/5 — Kyler *2024-04-02* I love that it lets me keep track of thing and it free so I would give this app a try love it ❤️ ### 4/5 — Good *2024-03-03* I’ve just popped this app on my phone as I have so much to look forward to! It makes me feel good to view it written down. I like it! I’ve added the events for the year in a random order expecting to be able to alter the line-up but it doesn’t appear to be possible. It hasn’t ordered by itself either into shortest number of days appearing first in ascending order. This would be a really useful feature if it’s possible to tweak it. ### 5/5 — Экран блокировки *2024-02-10* Не нашел, как вывести виджет на экран блокировки, под часами ;( ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2023-10-08* Thank you for creating wonderful app. Just one request, on widgets display photo selected in event. Currently it's only displaying emoji. **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for your feedback! It's unfortunate that you are in this situation. We strive to improve the quality of our application! We will add it with the next update! ### 3/5 — Great app but… *2023-07-08* Loved using this app to countdown to events. It even counts up! You can save a picture from your camera roll or use an emoji for the event. I recently had an issue where all of a sudden it stopped displaying my saved picture for an event and automatically defaulted to an emoji. Please fix. **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for your feedback! It's unfortunate that you are in this situation. We strive to improve the quality of our application! We will fix it with the next update! ### 5/5 — Such a Good App without subscription *2023-05-16* Tried so many apps till now with paid subscription also.. But your app is fabulous..keep update Thank you ### 5/5 — SLAYYY *2023-03-30, version 1.2.13* Y’all this app slays ### 5/5 — FJD81527 *2022-10-03, version 1.2.13* This will really help me keep me tract of my days!! ### 5/5 — Attractive *2022-08-25* So many counters just do the numbers…. This has a nice visual approach, you can literally see your time in motion. ### 3/5 — Strange Calculation Algorithm *2022-08-19* This app counts the number of days before a given event but does not include the target date in its calculation. Thus, in effect, the result is short by one day. This is not intuitive. ### 5/5 — Tried ~10 count up days, this is the best!! *2022-07-15* I have tried many count up apps. I want to see how long it’s been since a certain event. This app works really well. I love the med. and large widgets show hours/minutes/seconds along with days. I only wish you could select more than one counter widget on your Home Screen, but simply clicking on the widget shows you the rest of your counters. Maybe a short cut would be to allow you to select which one counter widget you display? Love the app though. Thank you. ### 3/5 — Great but missing something *2022-03-14* I can it change which events are on the widgets for the Home Screen unfortunately. Once that’s sorted I’ll come back ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — can only add widget for the counter which is at the top *2026-07-09* We can only add widget for the counter which is at the top. We should be able to select which counter we want to see in the widget. **Developer response:** That's a fair ask, being able to choose the counter for the widget would make it more useful. Please write us at hello@aboutmeapps.com and we'll pass the idea along to the team. ### 1/5 — You can have only one countdown *2025-10-16* Only one countdown available ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-12-06* I can’t find the widget to select. Last update was 1y ago ### 1/5 — Reset counter *2020-11-23* Could not reset counter. No option ???? **Developer response:** Hi! Yes, you can! Just swipe left the countdown and tap on "reset". Please, try our new updated version. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-11-15* Worked excellent until ur last update now I click on it and it just disappears-won’t even boot up just goes right back to Home Screen-waste of time downloading this one now since the update-Apple needs to remove this on ASAP **Developer response:** Hi! Sorry for this bug! We fixed this in our last update, could you try? If the issue is resolved, please update this in review. ### 2/5 — The widget doesn’t work *2022-09-25* Original review: A simple “days since” or “days till” app. I just put my date in, labeled it, and it worked. It even has a handy widget, so I don’t even have to open the app. Sometimes you just need something simple to keep yourself on track. Thank you! Update: I wanted to restart the count on my only counter and didn’t realize there was an option to restart it, so I created a new count down and deleted the old one, but the widget still showed the date of the original counter. I tried deleting the widget and adding the widget back to my home screen, but again it only gave me an option to add the original counter that I cannot now modify because I deleted it. So, it works great if you have just one counter, but be careful about deleting it if you use the widget. Update 2: I deleted and reinstalled and started a counter and even waited a few weeks, but it won’t come up as an option for the widget at all now. You can only use the widget as a countdown to Christmas or new year’s and that’s it. It’s not worth it otherwise so I’m deleting. ### 2/5 — Good app *2022-03-01* Its a great app but doesnt let you do multiple widgets at once. ### 2/5 — Eh *2021-02-13* It doesn’t display an accurate amount of days **Developer response:** Hi! Does it happen on widget or in the app? ### 3/5 — Background colour choice 🤷‍♂️ *2024-07-23* Nice and simple but would be good to be able to change the colour of an an event, unless I’m missing something?! ### 3/5 — Worthy App But… *2023-08-12* This is one of the best app I use on my device. But after recent update I encountered a bug. Earlier, in widget, background set by user was shown but now despite seting any image as background in any new/old events only default background is available. Kindly troubleshoot this bug so we can set desired image as background in widget. **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for your feedback! It's unfortunate that you are in this situation. We strive to improve the quality of our application! We will fix it with the next update! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Free app with no ads or limits *2026-07-08* yes **Developer response:** Thanks for the shoutout! 💚 ### 5/5 — Absolutely fantastic *2025-10-12* It works great, no nonsense, no subscriptions, no ads just a genuine countdown timer with a handy widget! I even have it mirror the widget on my MacBook home screen and it’s great ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APP *2025-10-09* Im poor give me money. This app is awesome for tracking holidays, or even just birthdays. Its amazing guys. DOWNLOAD IT ### 5/5 — Simple great app *2025-09-09* Easy to use ! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-09-04* If you look far enough in the App Store and put in the extra work, there’s usually a free version of what you’re looking for with no gimmicks or in app purchases (purchase bait). This is that app for countdowns. ### 5/5 — Suggestion *2025-06-28* Awesome app But we have to manually arrange the days to go..rather automatically in ascending order ### 5/5 — Fine *2025-05-07* Difficult to find out how to change widget from NYE example to personal goal. Figured it out ### 5/5 — iPhone 15pro *2025-01-03* Все отлично, спасибо ### 5/5 — Simple Yet Effective *2024-08-17* App is just awesome. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-06-27* Lovely app, one suggestion . When adding widget it would be nice to have a functionality to swipe between counters added. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
