## What is Yonks?

Yonks is a day counter app for past and future events, you would like to remember.

Ever wondered how many days have been passed since you were born or since you've been married? How many weeks are left until your next vacation starts or a project must be finished? Are you counting the days since you've started your diet, daily workout or quit smoking? How many hours until a highly anticipated movie opens or the new awesome video game will be released?

Yonks (British slang for "a long time") helps you to keep track of all of these dates and their notable milestones. :)

KEY FEATURES

- Fully customizable counters: Choose between counting minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or years and select a custom emoji and color for every counter.

- Sortable lists: Order your counters manually, alphabetically, increasing or decreasing by date or by color.

- Suggestions: No idea what to add? Yonks has a growing list of popular counters from a variety of categories (holidays, history, sports, movies, games, ...) for you to add with one tap.

### 3/5 — iOS widgets?

*2025-03-22*

The app is fun, but not supporting widgets feels like a huge miss—iOS has had widgets on the Home Screen since iOS 14/fall 2020!

### 3/5 — Looks nice but feels off

*2024-01-19*

I thought I would like this app from the screenshots, but in use it feels and looks like a web app—corners aren’t rounded correctly, scrolling doesn’t rubber-band anywhere, and the various bars and controls and animations don’t match any of the system standard ones. I’m not sure what technology this was built with but I wish it were something that felt more like the rest of the OS.

### 5/5 — Lässt mein Nerdherz höher schlagen

*2023-07-22, version 1.0.9*

Macht was sie soll und Spaß. Die 2€ habe ich gerne ausgegeben❤️

### 5/5 — So gut!!

*2021-10-05, version 1.0.8*

Echt so schön und immer wieder nützlich. Manchmal wäre es schön auch am iPad und am m1 Mac die App zu haben, aber sie ist ja doch meist nur einen Griff entfernt.

### 5/5 — thank you Stefan

*2021-05-17*

Been over the edge for yonks

### 3/5 — Nice but could be better

*2020-03-02*

This app is really good, nice to use and really easy.
So i would suggest somethings that would make it even better:
•Widget showing one of the countdowns (by choice)
•Notifications if you reached a certain time 
• iCloud sync 
• and a different app icons to choose from (since this looks a bit girly)
• quick view using 3D/Haptic touch
🙏👋

### 4/5 — Good overview of important events

*2020-01-11, version 1.0.4*

I really like the design of the app. Unfortunately I miss a German translation. A folder structure would be great for an even better overview.

### 4/5 — iCloud backup support needed

*2019-05-28*

When this app first came out I added a bunch of great dates to track using it. I had to install the app on a new phone and found the app had none of my dates on it. I see you added import and export support but I think iCloud storage for something like this is pretty important.

**Developer response:** Hey Jason, thank you for using Yonks and thank you for your feedback. You‘re absolutely right! iCloud sync is definitely planned for a future version, I just didn’t have the time to implement it yet. In the meantime there’s the import/export to transfer your counters manually.

### 5/5 — Prima :-)

*2019-02-14, version 1.0.1*

Sehr schöne App, ich würde mir nur eine deutsche Variante wünschen.

### 3/5 — Good first start

*2019-02-11*

Nice first start, but who wants to open an app for a counter? Time to develop a widget!
