### 1/5 — Not a wallpaper app

*2024-02-16*

Very misleading!!!! After all this time

### 3/5 — Needs to have more customization options and wallpaper

*2023-01-01, version 1.2.1*

I want the app to allow me to do all days countdown not weeks/days and I want it to be a full display widget on one of my screens to be able to see it.  If it had those two items added I would switch my rating to 5 stars.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2021-12-09, version 1.2.1*

Do not buy!!! Waste of money….

### 1/5 — Tres triste

*2020-11-16*

Quand on dit wallpaper on s attend a pouvoir le mettre en fond d écrans  je suis trop déçu  1,50 $ a la poubelle :(

### 1/5 — Will not actually load to your background

*2020-07-20, version 1.2.1*

Total waste of $1. I wanted the countdown as my phone’s background. It is definitely poorly advertised, and intentionally. Wish I had read the reviews.

### 1/5 — It’s a lie

Don’t buy it. It’s not show up on your wallpaper. Total cheating.

### 1/5 — Fraud
