Countdown‪°‬ 4+

I started using this last year and it’s very easy to navigate, no glitches and they give you so many options of what your theme (page) colors of pictures could be from their library or you can use your own by uploading one of your pictures if you wish, but there’s something exciting about seeing the countdown pop up as your special event approaches.

It is also a free service, I have never seen ahead any charges and again, I only use it for the very important people in my life as far as birthdays go or special occasions like graduations and vacations, I do not put everybody (friends/extended family) birthdays in it because that’s what I have a calendar for.

It is not a necessity in life to have this app, but again there is just something exciting to watch the countdown of those special occasions pop up.

Really happy I found it and I’m sure you will enjoy it too. I really would give it 10 stars if I could because it is one of the better apps I have found for a Countdown that is easy to use and read because there are so many out there and I had tried them but for one reason or another either you had to go to MIT to figure it out or it just did not look right or easy to read when the countdown would pop up, but again this one is very easy to use and read.

If you’re on the hunt for the perfect countdown app, look no further—Countdown is truly unparalleled. This app stands out not just for its functionality but for its elegance and simplicity. It graces my MacBook Air’s desktop with a classic, understated beauty that makes tracking important events a pleasure rather than a chore. I appreciate its clean, unobtrusive design, devoid of garish color schemes and annoying alarms.

One small enhancement I’d love to see is the option to customize the widget’s background color. Currently, the white background with black text is great, but a palette of subtle hues or color selections would be fantastic. For example, matching the countdown widget background to the sienna tones of my San Francisco skyline wallpaper would create a seamless, visually pleasing experience.

Thank you for creating such an exceptional app. It’s a gem I can’t live without!

This may be available in the premium version (paid) of the app, but I feel like a major allure of countdowns is that you can see down to the second of when something will happen. (Year/month/day/hour/second) or at least (day/hour/second) would be a good way to also be able to display the countdown in my opinion. I did discover that if you tap the countdown number it'll display in (months/days), but again, this is lacking the (hour/second) allure of countdowns.

Perhaps a calendar feature would also be nice (with week/month/day view available), but then of course you're running into the territory of just being a calendar app. However, it would be nice to have the countdown feature and calendar feature all in one.

What I do really like about this app is being able to change the background, easily create & edit countdowns, and be able to organize your countdowns by life/work/birthdays/etc. It's a very visually appealing and functional app.

Would recommend this app to other people!
