SummerProof will help you find what to do during the summer. You can challenge your friends by doing activities and gaining points, however, there is a catch: everything that you do requires a photo as proof [PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!] The goal is to complete as many activities as possible during the summer and send your album to your friends as proof. The winner is the person with the most points. Some activities give more points than others, ranging from 10 to 50 points. If you complete three consecutive activities, you earn bonus points. Features: - Add photos or make a collage to prove an activity - Set a prize and all the participants before starting the challenge - Edit the hashtags in the album page - View photos in full size in the album page - Share your album as PDF with anyone* - No subscriptions - No ads We will update the app regularly to offer new challenges when the summer challenge is over. SummerProof is free to download and features marked with a star (*) require the premium version, an optional one-time purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Christmas Countdown! at 4.8 against SummerProof's 3.8. Christmas Countdown! also leads on ratings volume (71K vs 4). SummerProof's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Christmas Countdown! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and SummerProof sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Christmas Countdown! holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Christmas Countdown! has 71K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Christmas Countdown!'s written reviews are positive against 100% of SummerProof's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Christmas Countdown! ships an update every 5 months, SummerProof every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on November 14, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
