Count Time: Down & up days 4+

If Apple Made a Countdown App

Easy to use, very similar look to built in apps like reminders and calendar. I’ve downloaded probably 3-4 reminders apps and this is the one I’m going to keep. Also appreciate that it has no in app purchases, although adding an option to send a tip would be a feature I’d absolutely use Three feature requests: 1. Allow “all day events” similar to how calendar has all day events (pick default all day notification time in settings probably) 2. Let users pick what dates of time to use (ex: I want it to show checkboxes for each unit of time. Which would be especially useful customization for the widget as well. 3. Allow custom repeat (like in calendar as well). 4. Add custom and multiple alerts.

Great app

The app does exactly what I hoped it would do: it shows a time countdown widget on the lock screen! The UI is clean and simple.

The only improvement I’d love to see is a fractional display of hours remaining. E.g. when there’s 5 hours 55 minutes remaining, the app shows “5 Hours Left”. It would be great if the display was a bit more precise and showed something like “5¾ hours left” instead.

Thank you for using Count Time! More time display options are coming soon and I will consider your feedback :)

Good idea, poorly executed.

The app looks really promising—clean and fairly intuitive UX. Unfortunately, it is very crude in the presentation of the countdown. What I mean is this. You can program a target date of say 55 days in the future. Unless, you are actually on the detail page of this countdown within the app, in ALL other areas, including the widgets, you will see 1 month displayed as the countdown period. Meaning the app somehow rounds down the actual countdown period, so you don’t actually see the 55 days. This is a huge disappointment. If people are using this for a countdown, then most of us probably would like a more accurate countdown display.
