Recent Update Removed Features & Widgets
In one of the recent updates, the app’s features were simplified. Many were removed. No more custom themes either, only 6 preset themes.
For some reason, the developer decided to have a whole page dedicated to slowly falling balls for each year left? Is this to entertain your toddler?
You used to be able to customize a widget within the app. My favorite was the small square (4x4) with dots and text at the bottom which said “1 row = 7 years”.
Now you just have preset widgets, and many are just huge text of numbers.
The “vintage” widget is an option, but you only see a total of 16 dots, one of which is offset. I liked seeing a lot of dots.
There was no description of features being removed in the updates. Just “bug fixes and improvements”.
Thanks for your “improvements” mate. Maybe don’t do any more “improvements” please?

Hi! There’s a small widget with dots. Let me know what’s missing for you, but all the old widgets are available, along with a new one.
Sad
I’ve had this app for almost 3 years. When I first downloaded it had such cute pastel colors and made me look forward to planning out my dream life. I hadn’t opened it in a few months and I was so confused. I thought I opened a different app or downloaded an app unknowingly. The whole interface was different - let alone the colors. It used to be so bright, colorful, customizable and cheerful. Now it’s corporate navy blue with the least bit of customization. Deleted.

Thank you for your honest feedback. I’m sorry to hear you don’t like the new version of the app. I tried to make it feel more beautiful and playful, but I understand that it doesn’t work for everyone. I’ll keep your feedback in mind, especially regarding the colors and customization. Have a great day! 🙏
Eye Opener
Very good app which does not let me forget my priorities in life. Julien is very passionate about this app and the contact us feature straightaway sends email to him. He almost immediately replies to queries. Good to have. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for this feedback! 🙏
Good little reminder
I was gonna say, saw the app since towards the beginning; loved counting down the days towards my eventual end (not sarcasm).
Gave more and more perspective of my life on earth, especially since finding love of my life.
Hope it remains improved as time goes on

“Most men are dead at 27, we just bury them at 72.”
A wonderful app for making all small events matter. It helps me to focus on my goals, and it reminds me the life is inextensible. Easy to use, minimal but efficient. Thanks you.

Thank you for this feedback! You made my day! 🙏
Revamp
Revamp is cool, but why do developers take away stuff when doing an update or revamp? Bring back the widget view with the dot representation for the time.
The whole point of the app is to visualize how much time you have left. Just showing the number of days, weeks, or years doesn’t have the same impact.

More than an app, a life reminder
I have been using Time Left / Countdown since its creation. I love the philosophy behind it: a constant reminder that life is short and that we should live it intensely. Time is the only resource we cannot trade or get back. This app is the perfect embodiment of that thought. Many thanks to the creator for thinking of this and sharing it with us. It is more than just an application; it is a true wake-up call to life!

Close to a 5
I used this in the past and really liked the colorful display. I was surprised by the Sepia drab new UI. Come on life can be fun at least give an option to have the prior display. In fact allow edits of the color so the older you get you can set it to years where you’re likely to be homebound so you can track how much left in active years one has. This would make this a 5+ app.

Thank you for the feedback. I’m currently building what is essentially a brand-new version of the app, and the interface will continue to evolve. I think you’re going to like where it’s heading. I usually create apps to solve my own needs first. Sometimes they stay personal projects, and sometimes, as happened with Time Left, they end up resonating with many other people. I hope you will love the next huge update.
Cool app
Would love to have a percentage time left. It also helps anchor to how much battery life you have left. Also an Apple Watch widget and app would also be great. A quick glance at the watch.
Response from developer
I will think about the watch! For now, I’m working on a huge update for Time Left that’s coming very soon.
Cannot set life expectancy higher than 90
Not being able to set the exact life expectancy to the number I believe means I won't really use this app. For example I want to set it to 101. It won't allow this. I will not accept that my life expectancy could be shorter, because then it will be, so I will not use the app.
When I purchased long time ago it was excellent
A couple of years ago this app received a bug update changing the layout , I miss the very first layout when it was launched with the multicolor bouncing balls this new layout is horrible and since then I have never use it because I hate it
Not at all good
Even the most basic features are paid and on top of that a copy app
What?
What a waste of money. What does it do?
All basic utilities are paid.
Even the most basic utilities are paid, might as list it as a paid app and not waste download time.
Great app
Just started using the app and love it. Would love for a way to add it as a lock screen widget though. I find it a great way to break the cycle of opening my phone when I’m confronted with the time I have left. It is a constant question for me of “is this how I truly want to spend my time left?”
Great app overall.

Thanks for your message. 🙏 I'm currently working on Time Left v3, which will include this kind of feature.
Great idea!
This app helps me with my time blindness
Scammy payment system, pay only widget
Asks you to pay $260 a year to use this app. Can’t use the widget without paying. What a joke.
Inútil no gratuito/useless on free version
Simplesmente não oferece NADA na versão gratuita, além de ter versão gratuita super cara/it simply doesn’t offer ANY features on its free version, besides from having a too expensive payed one
A little slow
Latency is slow and movement between pages is laggy
