It's time to start the countdown to your next vacation! Vacation Countdown: Until I Go is a multi-trip countdown app for iPhone, built around personalised widgets. Until I Go shows you a live countdown to your upcoming trips, starting in years all the way down to seconds, with your own photo as the background. Set it up in under a minute, then add a widget so your countdown is always visible. WIDGETS - Add a widget for any trip and it counts down right there on your Home Screen. Each widget is configured to a specific trip, so you can run several at once if you're tracking more than one getaway. Lock Screen widgets are available too, included in the one-time Plus unlock. MULTIPLE TRIPS - Keep every upcoming trip live at the same time - a cruise next month, a city break in the autumn, a big family holiday further out. Swipe between them one at a time in Focus view, or see them all together in your trips overview, which switches between a compact grid and a full-width stacked list. HOW THE COUNTDOWN WORKS - Every countdown is unique depending on the date, counting down from years, months and days for a trip that's far off; followed by hours and minutes as it gets closer. - When the trip arrives, Until I Go shows you which day of the trip you're currently on ("Day 2 of 5"). - After the trip ends, the countdown doesn't disappear, it switches to counting up instead ("12 days since Bali"), so you can look back on it and remember a great vacation. STYLE EACH TRIP - Add a photo to any trip, either one from your camera roll or from our selection. Next, choose a text colour and a text style to go with it. Layer that with one of five app-wide colour themes and matching Home Screen app icon for a truly personalised experience. FINDING YOUR DESTINATION - For each trip, type a destination and the app suggests matching places as you go, the same way Apple Maps does. GETTING STARTED - Your first three trips are free, with Home Screen widgets and no ads on any tier. A one-time payment unlocks unlimited trips, the full text colour and style range (including a custom colour wheel), lock screen widgets, and the app icon picker - paid once, yours on every trip after that. Please email us (untiligo@htnstudio.com) or leave feedback in the app for feature requests or any other suggestions you have. We love to hear from you and are always looking for ways to improve Until I Go!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Plan at none against Vacation Countdown's 1. Plan also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Vacation Countdown's advantage is iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
