Encore combien de dodos avant…. L'anniversaire de vos enfants ? De votre mariage ? De l'arrivée d'un nouveau né ? Ou tout simplement de Noël ? Nouvel an ? La galette des rois ? Carnaval ? Pâques ? Halloween ? La Saint-Nicolas ? Plus besoin de compter les jours (ni les dodos), Dodos le fait à votre place. Dodos est une application de compte à rebours d'évènements et de fêtes. Que ce soit des fêtes proposées par l'application ou des évènements personnalisés que vous configurez dans l'application, Dodos vous offre un widget pour suivre votre décompte de près. Habillez votre écran d'accueil avec une belle icône et un design sympa. Retournez en enfance avec une touche de nostalgie et d'insouciance en parlant de « dodos » restants plutôt que de « jours » restants avant le jour J. Fonctionnalités :  • Configurez votre propre date personnalisée ou laissez le calendrier proposé par Dodos • Installez le compte à rebours du prochain évènement en date ! Votre date ou Noël, Epiphanie et galette des rois, Saint-Valentin, Pâques… • Placez le widget rigolo où vous le souhaitez sur votre écran d'accueil pour que les dates de vos évènements soient le plus visibles possibles (et puissent vous redonner du baume au coeur :) ) • Célébrez votre évènement à la fin de votre compte à rebours !
