Countdown Star (без рекламы‪)‬ 4+

Countdown Star is the countdown app I was always looking for. I think I look at the notification center widget to see my upcoming events more than my bank account 😅 it's so useful.

I’ve been using this app for a few years now and somehow never purchased the free version. When I did, that’s when I ran into issues. I would love to see iCloud sync or import/export or account login - this would make it easier to backup and restore events. Currently, I’m painstakingly moving all of my events over manually to the paid app.

It would be cool to be able to delete wallpapers and have desktop access too.

After years of using free CD, I thought the app developer, who has faithfully updated through every ios revision for years, deserved payment. Didn’t really mind the ads in free... Really enjoy this app. Would give 5 stars, but the widget is buggy- 2nd event has scattered text & doesn’t display correctly. Also wish all events from free version would have merged into new paid ad-free version. Had to re-create everything. Other than that, sweet little app that allows customization, personalization, and special event tracking.

It’s your basic count up/down timer. It has a nice feature (paid version) that allows you to add custom photos to your events. However if I may offer some recommendations to the creators of the program that would greatly improve it in my personal opinion:

1: Allow an option for recurring events. It’s nice to know how long ago a birthday or anniversary or other special occasion was, but even better to know when it is coming around again each year.

2: Instead of, or in addition to, having a favorite that pops up, have an option that automatically changes the event that is displayed when you open the app to the most recent upcoming event. This would give a rolling screen as time progresses so that when you view the app you can see what major events are coming up and be able to use the countdown timer to help plan or anticipate those events even better.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if the ideas I am describing don’t make any sense and I would be happy to better describe them for you! Thanks for putting out a product that I can use!
