Countdown 4+

Very easy to use, simple layout and nothing hidden. Tap + to add an event, the layout is easy to follow and set event info. Includes some fun features to set a background color and emoji, such as birthday cake to represent a birthdate. I did my whole calendar list of holidays, special days, birthdays of family and anniversaries in no time. Love the countdown and count up for past events, I put in my birthdate and know know to the second how old I am, really cool.
Easily shares with another devices, had same list on iPad and iPhone instantly.
I added the widget, very nice and shows either next two event or more. Nothing complicated to set up. I still gave 5 stars as its almost perfect.
It includes a feature to have event repeat next year, great for like birthdays that occur on same number day of a month each year, but for some holidays it won’t be correct as they occur not on a specific number day, but say, 2nd Monday of February and each year that will be a different number day, where the app has no setting for this.
Overall much better than anything else I tried and glad I found this and replaced previous app I’ve used for a few years.

I’ve used Countdown to countdown to and from my grandsons’ birth days and to and from a series of surgeries. The app is super easy to use and convenient—for both joyful and serious events.

One suggestion: I would love the option to change the unit of measure of the countdown. At one point, I wanted to keep track of how many weeks, and then how many months old my grandsons are. Also, after my surgeries, I wanted to track weeks and then months post-op as well. I was able to lessen my restrictions at weekly intervals after my surgeries and, while I can do the math, 🙃 having it in black and white would have been nice.

Thanks developer!!

I've been looking for the perfect countdown app for some time and after downloading many of them, I believe this is the one.
All the other apps I tried had at least one major flaw (if not more): hard to use, trying to force me into a subscription, limited amount of countdowns to add for free, plagued with ads, requesting a lot of weird permissions, etc.
This one has none of those, and:
- It's very intuitive and easy to use
- I was able to add as many events as I wanted without paying extra
- Has a nice widget, I'm able to set reminders, pick colors and an emoji icon for each event
The upgrade was a very reasonable one time payment of $2.99, to remove the ads that were a bit annoying, plus getting access to the widget.
I hope more apps were as straightforward as this one.
Keep up the good work!
