Widget Locked Behind Paywall
You have to spend $7 to get access to the widget feature.
ugh
why would you make the widgets cost money, there is no point and is its really annoying, other than that great app
Stopped working?
I've had this app for a couple of years and I love having the widget at the top of my lock screen. However, I recently changed the countdown to a new topic, and it has frozen. It's completely stuck saying, “___ in 24 hours”. It's been stuck like this for a few weeks and I've tried everything I can think of to change it out and unfreeze it, but nothing has worked. I don't want to delete the app, but I am not sure what to do anymore. Feedback would be much appreciated to help me and possibly others fix this issue.
Widget is broken
Widget won’t work on the Home Screen or on the lock screen anymore.
Love it!
I love countdown but PLEASE add a tag for seasons or an customizable one
Ads
Actually an ad every second i can’t see my coundouns
Countdown App
Convenient simple app well satisfied.
Mehr Schein als sein
Schade, ich dachte man könnte ganz einfach ein Ereignis als Widget auf den Sperrbildschirm hinzufügen, so wie es auch angepriesen wird. Natürlich ist dafür aber dann die Kostenpflichtige Version nötig. Also wird die App direkt wieder gelöscht.
Review
Sooo I don't get the notifications right when it hits 12 so I have to always go and check the app
Probably the best app in the world l never seen a single app
Like this one
Wack
Have to pay “upgrade” to add widgets
My review
Love this app so much but I would love if they made the widgets free
Believe what it says
Great app
8/10
Too many ads, but gets the job done!
Nice but …
I had written a positive but slightly negative review because I had been unable to put multiple widgets with each one showing the countdown for a different events on the home screen to my iPad. BUT I figured out how to do that based on the directions in a different Countdown app. So it is possible, and it seems to work nicely. I do recommend that the developer explain in the instructions how to have multiple widgets with each showing a different countdown.
Gotta pay to show countdown
Like the widget won’t show you unless you pay.
Brilliant App
Use this for so many reasons and love using it to support people I foster with learning disabilities to see what is coming up next in thier lives would be good for them if I could impose a picture on the countdown for those who can’t read
Has been very glitchy on iPhone 16 with iOS 26
The widget shows up as just a colorful block. You used to be able to click on it and then back out to make your countdown appear again but no more. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no effect.
Widget not working
I’ve really enjoyed this app, but all of a sudden the widget that appears at the top of my lock screen next to the date isn’t working. That’s the only feature I use, so it not working anymore makes me not want to use it anymore.
YES!!!
Countdown is such a great app. It’s so easy to keep track of all of your most important occasions. You could set it to repeat every year or every month even every week it’s not too hard to set up either and you could even put it on a widget so you every time you open your phone or your tablet or computer you can easily see how long it is until one of your favorite occasions. I do recommend this app. There are no ads and it’s completely free suitable for all ages.
Seriously???
I have to pay for premium subscription just to view my countdown in any format besides DAYS???? SCAM!!!! I can just write down the days for that price. Ew
So far so good
I have only had it for a few days and it works amazingly it has a premium mode but you have to pay.so I have only had it for a few days but so far so good
Make it free!
it’s a cute app, but if you want to add custom reminders for the countdown, have wigits, you have to pay a pretty penny….
Good but bad
This app is quite good, but most of the features you have to pay for including a widget. But other than that I like this app.😁
Love
This is one of my most useful apps! Keeps me on track. Easy to use!
Countdown
It doesn’t actually count down the days unless you pay for premium, wouldn’t recommend.
One Improvement Needed
It’s good that you can set a reminder 1 day or 1 week in advance. But you should be able to set a reminder by selecting a number of hours prior to the due time. If for example I have someone visiting my house at 9:30 I would like to set a reminder 30 minutes or an hour before hand.
Can’t synch across devices?
There is no way to log in and therefore you cannot synch it across devices
Nach letzten Update fehlerhaft.
An sich eine schöne App. Man hat seine anstehende Termine somit im Blick, aber seit der letzten Aktualisierung hängt die App im Widgets fest. Erst wenn ich die App wieder öffne, aktualisiert er sich erst wieder. Habe die bezahlte Variante.
SO AMAZING
i use this app 24/7 its so fun hehehe download it right now im not joking download it rn
Have to pay to use
$6.99 - just make us pay to download you chuds
It’s a good app
I love the app I couldn’t get the time I wanted to do and there are so many adds for no reason
premium!!
Für fast alle Möglichkeiten braucht man PREMIUM,das find ich blöd.Ich meine nicht alle Kinder dürfen sich PREMIUM holen!¡ Sonst ist die App toll..💕
Gut aber Fragen 🫤
An sich erfüllt die App alles, was sie verspricht. Nur eins verstehe ich nicht. Ich habe ein Apple Gerät und ich wollte mir ein Widget erstellen für diese App, um zu sehen, wie lange es noch bis zur gewünschten Zeit dauert. Als ich mir dann das Widget runtergeladen hatte, hat es auch einigermaßen funktioniert nur was ich nicht ganz toll fande war, dass man dort die Tage nicht sehen kann , wie lange es noch dauert. Man hat nur ein Widget von der App
Enjoy the countdown to important events
Works well and I like the customization options.
Super cool
I love that. It tells me every day bc 24 hours and especially my birthday. That’s what that’s when it hype me up
👍
Very good better then a normal calendar
too many paid features
you can barely use any features, all you can do on the app is put in your upcoming events (basically the calendar app) and even to use widgets you would have to use a paid subscription. not worth it
7/10
Gut aber die Werbung ist nervig
Cool
Cooler
Must pay for any use
Pretty dumb to have a widget app that you have to pay to use the widget. When I used this app last year, I could add a widget to my Home Screen for free. & all the reviews look fake lol
Social life
this app is so easy to use and it really helps me with school events or sleepovers. i love how i can look at my phone and know when my brother will be back from university! i love this app!
Good but paying
It not bad little bit
Countdown!
I can countdown to anything! Thanks.
Repeating Countdown Bug
I have to manually start the count on all my repeating countdowns, please fix this
Adds
To many adds
🌟🐺😛COUNTDOWN😛🌟
As a person who forgets birthdays specifically a lot this app is amazing I mean I can do it on a normal calendar but that’s boring.I just wish you could get the widgets for free or at least one widget free otherwise j love this app
Sympa mais…
Bonjour, L’app est sympa. C’est cool d’avoir un décompte des jours restant avant un événement. Ce qui l’est moins c’est de devoir ouvrir l’application pour voir le décompte en question. Je pensais naïvement qu’il serait sur l’écran d’accueil… je suis déçue.
Pourquoi payer ?
J’ai payé le 5.99 et je ne vois aucun ajout, seulement plus de publicité. Mais on disait que je j’aurais des Widgets de plus, je ne vois rien de plus.
