countXdown zeigt - auch in Echtzeit - an, wie viel Zeit bereits seit einem Ereignis (erster Kuss, Hochzeit, ...) vergangen ist oder wie lange ein Ereignis noch in der Zukunft liegt (neuer Job, Geburt des Kindes, ...). Die Gestaltung der einzelnen CountDowns ist mit Fotos von der Kamera und aus der Galerie, aber auch schlicht mit Farben möglich, so dass jeder CountDown ein Unikat wird. Jeder einzelne CountDown kann in Echtzeit betrachtet werden, um das Warten auf ein Ereignis zu verkürzen. Diese App ist in vier Sprachen erhältlich und verfügt über einen Dark- und Light-Mode.

The clearest difference is ads: Grateful at none against countXdown's shown. Grateful also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
