Countdown‪@‬ 4+

Apparently, the only app that can actually do basic math. If I was to tell you that today is Jan 1st, and my special day is Jan 3rd, you would expect the lock screen to read “2 days”. All the other apps read “1 day” while this app understands that even though TECHNICALLY there is 1.5 days remaining, the user wants it to display 2 days. So thank you. This is exactly what I wanted.

One suggestion: the image you select for an event does not seem to appear inside the widget on the lock screen. Not a huge deal, just slightly annoying.

Like others mentioned, you have to pay to get this to display as a widget. I kept the app anyway and just didn’t have a widget display since I didn’t want to pay. But my annoyance is that as soon as it hit midnight the day of my event, it started counting up. I never even saw 0 or saw it say that today is the day. It just automatically starts counting up yet it looks exactly the same. It doesn’t say “hours since” or anything. So at first glance it looks like it’s still showing X hours until your event. What’s the point of that?? I don’t need to know how long it’s been since the clock hit midnight the day of my event. And I didn't find any way to change it. It might sound dumb but most people do a countdown for the satisfaction of seeing “0 days until…” or whatever so I felt like I counted down to nothing.

As it says you can count down the time to anything, but it also show that you can show up in ur widgets. It will only show up on your widget if you buy their premium, along with some other things. You can choose from a number of photos for the background and even some of ur photos, you can put some of your own music, too. The only thing I wish I knew before hand was that you would have to pay for it he widget part of the countdown app, other than that it does what it needs to but not what it says.
