Would get 5 stars if you could define a default sorting order rather than alphabetical, changing it to sorting by event date would be much better ### 4/5 — Does Exactly What It Says On The Tin *2023-06-20* Great little countdown app, does exactly what you’d want it to. Would get 5 stars if you could define a default sorting order rather than alphabetical, changing it to sorting by event date would be much better ### 5/5 — Nice *2022-12-15* I am just starting to use this app but seems nice. You can now purchase Lifetime for $5.99. The only problem is it does not sync from devices so you have to enter again on another device. However it is in Landscape for my iPad Pro. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Keeps Bugging Me For A Review *2025-06-11* So here you go… **Developer response:** so sorry! ### 2/5 — Wedding *2025-05-06* Wife ### 2/5 — Trying to access my lifetime membership *2024-10-07* Paid for lifetime membership. I have tried resetting and a message from you saying I have already paid the subscription fee and it’s live. But it will only work with icons. ### 3/5 — Colors and organization *2025-08-16* As much as I like it for the most part I really really wish the colors were not limited to the same old colors. I love pastels I love colors I like creating my own I wish we could do that instead of having to choose from the same old 10 colors provided (very harsh colors btw). Also I always click sort by “happening soon” and as soon as I get out of the app and go back in it switches back and never stays in the same list. It makes it inconvenient. I like following a list and knowing what’s coming up next and preparing for it ahead of time, not having to worry if it’s sorted or not. **Developer response:** Alright i juts resolved the issue! ### 3/5 — Pretty good countdown app *2025-06-05* Like it just wish I had more options for icons ### 3/5 — Ya *2025-03-06, version 1.0.5* Ya ### 3/5 — Trying to access my lifetime membership *2025-02-06, version 1.0.5* Paid for lifetime membership. I have tried resetting and a message from you saying I have already paid the subscription fee and it’s live. But it will only work with icons. ### 3/5 — It’s okay *2025-02-05, version 1.0.5* Works okay. Paid for access and still have some restrictions. ### 3/5 — Helpful *2024-10-25* Reminds me that I have good things coming up in my life. I would like for it to save the “sort by” preference though, so I don’t have to select it everytime I open the app. That’s the only annoyance. **Developer response:** Yeah! ### 3/5 — Trying to access my lifetime membership *2024-10-23* Paid for lifetime membership. I have tried resetting and a message from you saying I have already paid the subscription fee and it’s live. But it will only work with icons. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love ie *2025-11-01* It helped me remember my moms bd **Developer response:** Thank you, glad you like it! ### 5/5 — Love App, but I have suggestions *2025-10-20* Hi! I love your app and having been using it for a year or two now, and I have some ideas for improvements. Some improvement would be adding an option for more colors and icons. For example a color wheel, pattern options maybe, or even the choice to insert your own photo. You could also make so that there is more icon options, or people can draw their own (i feel it would be fun). Lastly, your app is really cute and I love it so much, so adding new features would mean a lot to me. Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-09-17* This is exactly what I was looking for - upcoming events without clogging my calendar :) **Developer response:** So glad to hear that! 😊 ### 5/5 — About the app *2025-07-28, version 1.0.5* I think this app works well to remind you when you’re events happen and it really helps me remember things. ### 5/5 — Very good *2025-02-11* Love it super helpful just wish there was more free icon options but it literally is so good 1000/1000 recommend ### 5/5 — Xd *2025-02-08* Xd ### 5/5 — Count Down *2024-12-11* Love this app makes important events extra special ### 5/5 — Very good app *2024-12-07, version 1.0.5* This app is really good👍 ### 5/5 — Good *2024-10-25* 👍 **Developer response:** Thank you ### 5/5 — Helpful *2024-10-18* Reminds me that I have good things coming up in my life **Developer response:** Yeah! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
