### 5/5 — Simple but great

*2026-01-05, version 3.0.3*

Like the other apps of this dev, this app does what’s it’s supposed to, simply and dependably.

### 5/5 — Worked as advertised

*2026-01-01*

I just counted down 90 days to retirement and I happily looked at the beach scene each day as I got closer.

### 5/5 — Perfectly customisable

*2025-09-22, version 3.0.1*

I tried several similar apps and none did exactly what I wanted. This is so easy to customise, with a link to suitable photos for a background and a quick calendar tap for days to exclude. You can also easily tap on working days. 
This is exactly what I wanted and at a great price. Huge thank you!

### 1/5 — Doesn’ t work like expected

*2025-09-15, version 3.0.0*

No Starting date, no chance for update, wrong counting all together: trash

### 4/5 — Great app

*2025-05-01*

I was happy to find this very affordable app to keep up with how many days are left off the school year. The only thing I’m not crazy about is the fact that when there are multiple counters they do not rotate in the widget. You only see one counter.

### 5/5 — The only Counter with reasonable price and fully featured

*2025-04-29, version 2.0.1*

This is how it should be, fair price for full version, full version allowing to individually set the working days. Not just full week or week w/o weekend.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2025-03-22*

I was looking for an app that I could count down my work days to retirement, excluding holidays and vacations. This app makes it extremely easy to do so. I have milestones that I am also tracking up to my retirement date as well and it keeps me motivated when the days get tough. It’s also great that I can use my own photos to capture the essence of these important dates. It’s perfect and the fact that i was able ti make a one-time purchase to access the other features is a plus. Well worth the value.

### 4/5 — Feature Requests + Thx for not collecting my data

*2025-02-01*

First, thank you for not collecting all my data! I also love that you have a one time payment option instead of having to subscribe monthly/yearly. I just upgraded, totally worth the $1.99 for lifetime access! I love that I can add my own photo on the timer. 

Second, I have a few feature requests. I would love to be able to change the format. Currently it just shows days. I would like to be able to see the time in years, months, days, minutes as well. I would also love to be able to put in a start date and it could show me percentage towards completion. For example, I am using this app to countdown days till I retire. I started working in 2017 and I plan on retiring in 2053, which means my career is about 21% complete. These would be good premium features for us paid users! Thank you!

### 3/5 — App icon

*2024-12-12, version 2.0.1*

The app icon keeps multiplying on my Home Screen. I have the app in a folder and it’s put two icons in there and more on tne Home Screen!

### 5/5 — Works

*2024-12-05, version 2.0.1*

Good app. Feature that allows for weekends, holiday exclusion from the count. Most of the similar apps just count calendar days.  Downloaded half a dozen apps, this one is the clear winner.
