Countdown

I love this simple straight forward app and was about to write a review, something I have not done for ant app before, but this is an exceptionally easy to use. Easy to read, easy to modify app, and even the commercials were not really intrusive. When they released a one time $1.99 purchase to include a handy widget my system locked up and presented. White screen. I am using an iPad Pro 9.7. there is a tiny bug somewhere help!

Nice app. If I could specify event times to the second instead of to the minute, I’d gladly pay for the upgrade. The app reports time to the nearest second, and mobile devices connected to communication networks know the time much better than that. But events in the app can only be specified to the nearest minute. That is a shame because quite often — such as the upcoming Winter solstice for example — watching the seconds tick off is kind of the fun part. As it stands, well, think of it like this. What fun would a New Year’s timer be if it told you very precisely, “midnight might have been a minute ago, or it might be a minute from now?” So much for popping the cork at just the right moment!

I was using another countdown app and it wasn’t bad but I found this one, tried it out and I like it so much better. Pretty simple and clean and I like that you can just pay a one time fee instead of doing a subscription. The one time payment is worth it. I love the no ads and I love that I can see it in my widget now. The only thing is I wish you could see more than just two event in the widget. If I could see 3 or 4 that would be amazing because I like looking at all my event at a glance and maybe add more colors in the future. Great app though!

First time trying this app and I really love it. It’s simple and takes less than 30 seconds to fill out an event. I gave it 4 stars because as I was typing my event info I noticed there wasn’t a space for comments. I have a baby shower I’m going to but there was no space to type in the address, or at least take a pic of the invitation and save it with the event. This would come in handy! If I have an event in 40 days, I don’t want to go through my photos to find the invitation with the info. Still a good app and even paid for no adds.

This is great, but I wish you could have the countdown for individual countdowns have different countdown styles rather than the “month, days, minutes, seconds” format. I was hoping for more of a “days until” or “minutes until” when you click on an individual countdown. And being able to share a URL for others was more complicated than I thought. If these improvements were made, this would be a five star. Simple and gets the job done. The in-app purchase is worth it.
