EVERYTHING YOU ARE WAITING FOR - IN A WIDGET Design your own personalized countdown or count-up widgets for your home screen & lock screen. Countdown Widget is a super fun way to track the days until a momentous occasion such as: - Your birthday, or another special someone’s birthday - A long-awaited vacation - Back to school - Upcoming elections - A returning season of your favorite TV series - A favorite yearly tech event - A new video game is up for preorder Or any other future event! Countdown Widget makes waiting for something exciting even more thrilling by giving you a cool and colorful visual reminder on your home screen. Use it to count down to a big event, to mark the end of something less fun, or to keep track of work deadlines (weekend exclusion is now possible!) - it's a super fun way to stay on top of things!

Exactly what I wanted

All of the other apps out there have so much extra fluff, are packed with ads, have annoying pop ups, requests to sign up/subscribe... this has none of that. If you pay you get more widgets but it has everything I want and isn’t weighed down with extra crap. The only thing I’d add is a custom color picker.Update: I actually just upgraded to the paid version. The app was fully functional even before the upgrade. No annoying popup ads, it had what I wanted, and was enjoyable without feeling like it was only half an app. Because I appreciated that I decided to get the pro version. It has a few extra features like more countdowns and layouts, but it’s more like a perk (and one I’ll enjoy and gladly indulge in to support such a great developer).

Being able to see an event countdown in the ways that this allows me to has done wonders for the anxiety I often get when I have something coming up. My favorite is the one with the vertical bars! Being able to see a visual representation of how much time has passed, and how much time is left, in graph form is a mental relief! I decided to purchase this app within 5 minutes of downloading it after seeing all of the customization options! It is the perfect count down app for how my brain works.And THANK GOD it’s not a subscription! Pay for it once, and it’s YOURS! Thank you so much!I also have a suggestion for an idea: You could add a widget that has an hour glass graphic that slowly empties as the time counts down. Or even a flower that slowly blooms as it counts down.

Great App - Highly Reccomend

First of all, I absolutely love this app. It’s so simple and easy to use, which is really nice. Also, I like how you can unlock everything for just $4. None of those stupid memberships that you constantly have to renew. And in my opinion, I think paying to unlock everything was worth it. I love knowing exactly how long until an event/holiday, so I definitely like this. Also, a few suggestions: Maybe add an option to do custom gradients for the background? Like, instead of gradient automatically making it go one color dark to light, you could make it be a gradient with two colors. I also think it would be fun if you could make the background of your widget a GIF. And I think you should have an option to have an event automatically repeat once it’s been reached.

I’ll start by saying I love this app. It knows it has one job to do and it does it well. The interface is intuitive and focused. I can have multiple counters, can choose from multiple templates, use custom background images and most of all, add as a widget so I can see all my countdowns, simultaneously, at a glance. UNTIL recently when my “most of all” feature broke. The widgets appear blank. And I can add new ones anymore. I’m hoping this gets fixed soon or I may have to seek elsewhere. p.s. I know some of the features I listed are part of the paid product but the purchase was a no-brainer. It’s worth the price of a side of fries.Update! As of 27 June, the widgets are working again! 😊
