Love that app! Heads and shoulders above others being developed. Very customizable, however it could go a few steps further. Reminders would be a winner and being able to customize the countdown itself would be great. I.e. Being able to select the detail of time. Many times all that desired is "days" without the "hours" "minutes" and "seconds", etc. Offering an ad free version for a small price would be another positive feature to offer. Keep moving forward in development and no one will ever surpass you!
Future data completely disappeared when I opted to upgrade
Linda-in-Reno
I originally loved this app been using it for years, but last October when I chose to upgrade to the one year paid premium. All of my future tasks absolutely disappeared. All I can access now is past events going back to that date that I upgraded. I finally went to try to start adding all of my future events back in. And there’s absolutely no place for me to select at an event. The app is absolutely useless to me. It’s in my apps library but I can’t find it anywhere to be able to remove it and start over again.. at this point, this is a piece of garbage.I reached out to support team multiple times and no response ever received.
Developer Response

Reminders keep me on track
ShesCraftee
I keep this on my iPhone screen and make it a large app display that shows the next event on the display and it counts me down to the next big date. It’s esthetically pleasing with customizable colors and icons to make all the birthdays one set up, or make them each unique. It’s up to you. You can set multiple reminders so you know when to shop, ship and the day of. I love not having to specifically load my calendar to see these important dates.
phenomenal app
MUSTARDDDDDDDD
You are completely free to make as many icons as you want as far as I know! The icons and other features are so adorable and visually pleasing. You can make these cutesy little reminders and widgets to anticipate exciting events without paying a single dime! Of course, if you wanted to, you could get premium, but otherwise you have 0 limitations and you aren’t required to get premium. My only concern is that there are no cheer symbols. No megaphone, pom-pom, uniform or anything really symbolizing cheer. Not a big problem obviously, but I would just like to have one to symbolize cheer.
