more There’s so many countdown apps out there. This is one of the good ones. I’ve tried too many that are either too bloated or not feature-rich enough. This app threads the needle perfectly with both of those, having enough features and options to be useful without feeling overwhelming.

The app has a free and an upgraded version. The Free version is enough to create a widget for tracking upcoming events with a countdown. (All I need for now) @Developers - I think it would be great if the app would give you instructions on how to set up your first widget sticking to the desktop. The constant popup asking me to upgrade is annoying. I would appreciate if it would be less frequent.

It is really good, the only thing for me is the widgets…it should be one option to show list up to 10+ count downs at the same time, currently the maximum count down on a widget its only 4 👎🏻

I was disappointed to learn after purchasing the app doesn’t have a widget that can be added to the Home Screen. All widgets only show up in the app itself with a reminder on the day.
