Very nice countdown widget

So far, I love this app. I tested out basically every app i could find that advertises having a widget and so far this is the most reliable, clean and easy to use. Initially there were some bugs with the app, like pictures not showing and the countdown not updating, but they were quickly patched out within a few days after the launch of iOS 14 so it is nice to see that it is being tended to. The only thing so far that I wish the app could do, is have a few more options for the units displayed. For example, I would love if I could have it display a countdown with days, and hours and maybe minutes just so that it is a little more satisfying to watch it tick down to the day instead of just updating once a day.

I am planning to add different types of widgets in the future with the ability to customise.This will hopefully come in the future. Thank you for your patience with the app.EDIT:This feature is now available in version 2.2 😊

Hello Bradley , I have been searching where I could contact you about this — I am in a long distance relationship and have been using this app , your app , to countdown every single visit between us :) it is so sweet being able to look back each one however , I had accidentally deleted one past countdown and I am so heartbroken over this.. I would really like to contact you else where , but I am wondering if there is a way to bend the rules as I can’t add a past date , to remake it? It would mean the absolute world to me. Thank you for the wonderful app

Good app, very simple

I was on the hunt for a good countdown app that I could add as a widget to me screen, but a lot of the ones I tried before this had it where you had to pay to add it to your screen. But this one didn’t! It’s also very simple and you can add a picture behind it which with a lot of the other apps you could not. So in conclusion, I give this app a 5 star rating! Thanks for the awesome app, and keep up the great work!(Also you can export and import your events/timer also you can add them to your calendar so I thought that was cool)

app store pic college rating.
I have downloaded all of the other apps that say that you can use the widgets. But you have to pay for then. You would think in a time like this that they wouldn’t be charging people even though it is only a couple bucks. This app is completely free and you can add as many widgets as you want. With no price. This is the app to use!

Thanks for the review much appreciated!!! 😊

- The entire app has been optimised for the new iPhone Duo form factor! - Widgets now update exactly when your countdown changes, and switch from days to hours and minutes on the final day. - Finished countdowns now show a checkmark in the app and in widgets. - Performance improvements and bug fixes.
