Setting icon doesn't open. Really terrible ### 1/5 — Doesn't do what I wanted *2017-04-30, version 2.0* I like the app when you open it but it needs notification capability so that I can see without opening what the countdown is. :( ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2017-03-21, version 2.0* You have to open the app to see the countdown. I thought it ran in the background? Totally useless! Not even worth the 99 cents or the one star rating! Smh ### 2/5 — Not worth the $.99 *2017-03-12, version 2.0* Very basic ... does have some nice pictures (hence the 2 stars). Doesn't even do slideshow mode. ### 1/5 — Dr *2017-01-10, version 2.0* Stinks now even worth $1 ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2016-01-11, version 1.2* How do I get my money back this doesn't work? ### 1/5 — Doesn't work! what a rip off! *2015-09-05, version 1.2* Ugh! I want a refund! ### 1/5 — Junk! *2015-04-29, version 1.2* This app freezes when you get to the page to enter date and pick a background. Apple should remove this scam of an app! ### 1/5 — It doesn't work and I wasted my money!!! *2015-04-17* I downloaded this app and was very excited because it did everything i wanted in an app but to my dismay it doesn't work..I can't get the app to move its frozen. So i am going to delete it so be warned, don't download because it won't work. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2015-02-17, version 1.2* It won't let me submit my vacation date. ### 1/5 — Wasted money *2014-11-24, version 1.0.0* I should have read the reviews first. I just bought a picture for my phone. The app doesn't work. ### 1/5 — NÃO FUNCIONA - don't work *2014-11-24* This app don't work on iPhone! I'm so angry because i paid and don't open. ### 1/5 — Did not work at all! *2014-11-20, version 1.0.0* Waste of $0.99 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2018-10-21, version 2.1* Absolutely useless app, you open & it shows date & picture that you have to set every time. Gives no information, no option to set widget or wallpaper. Do not purchase its a complete waste of money and data! ### 1/5 — Will not set date *2018-06-04* I could never get the date set for my trip. 😞 ### 1/5 — Countdown *2018-05-08* Horrible! Don’t waste your money on this one. Can’t even post from it. Nothing good about it. ### 1/5 — What a joke is right *2018-05-01* I’m sorry I didn’t read before spending a buck. You see sky and sky and dark background and nothing or just the tip of the Disney in the pic. If I wanted a cloudy sky with a tip of a turret, I can take any castle. Don’t waste even a penny on this app. I gave one star so I could post a bad review. ### 1/5 — Wish 0 Stars was an option *2018-04-06* Can’t believe I bought this without reading the reviews. This app doesn’t work, it doesn’t show the right countdown after you set the date. Terrible. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2018-03-11* Crashes when you try to put in your date. Emailed app support weeks ago with no reply. :/ ### 1/5 — This app is a joke *2018-03-07* If I could give this zero stars I would. I couldn't even get this app to work the first time. I know it's only .99 but this completely annoys me. This app shouldn't even be offered. ### 1/5 — Not working *2018-02-28* I keep trying to change the date and it keeps crashing. Very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Does Not Work *2018-02-20* Worst app I ever bought! I feel like a fool. I was so excited about getting this and it was a dud. Will not show the correct date and the page never fully loads. I've had free apps that work better than this. I want my 0.99 cents back!! ### 1/5 — Extremely limited!! *2017-09-27* I like the background options but hate how limited this app is. There are free vacation countdowns that let you put in exact times. This isn’t even worth a dollar. Would not recommend!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s a Disney vacation countdown *2019-04-01* Yep. It’s exactly what I wanted. Just a countdown to help my kids and I keep track of the days until Mickey! ### 5/5 — Great App! *2019-02-11* Works like it should! I understood what I was purchasing because I looked before I purchased. For everyone that says “don’t spend your money”, look before you purchase. It only takes a few moments to do so..... 🤷🏻‍♂️ ### 5/5 — Works great *2018-07-06* Bought this and it works perfectly. I see there are lots of negative reviews but I’m having no issues. ### 5/5 — Works great for me *2016-08-12* I been lucky it works great for me, had it for few days now, no problems for me as of yet, love the countdown and seeing how many more days, hrs and minutes I have left to my trip. ### 5/5 — <3333 *2011-07-08, version 1.0.0* I love it Sooo much!!! I'm going July 22!!! Can't wait I loveee it!! Love Disney world!!! :) <333 ### 5/5 — Love it!!!!!! *2011-05-16* Totally awesome!!! I wish it could say I was going tomorrow though!!!!! I love Disney world! Love that it shows the seconds! I always annoy my peers with the exact time I leave!!! love it ### 3/5 — Decent but basic *2017-02-16* As of the September 2016 update it does work. But is a very limited app. Needs an update for random image, add your own image, text the countdown, share the countdown via social. I would pass on this app until those features are added. ### 3/5 — Good but needs update! *2014-09-28, version 1.0.0* Mine stopped working after the iOS 8 downloaded! I think it needs an update so I can use it! ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2018-10-04* I thought I’d get to enter the time our flight left by purchasing the countdown clock with hours and minutes. Nope, no different than the free app. Save your dollar! ### 2/5 — So so app *2018-08-27* It works but not worth the $0.99. It’s very basic just a photo and countdown no extras like other countdowns I’ve used. You get 50 pictures to choose from but no option for a slide show and the number of days box is so big it blocks a lot of the picture. Would not have purchased had I known how simple it is. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
