Love CountdownerSMS! Would love to see an optional notification feature that alerts both participants when a shared countdown reaches zero. Ideally, each person would receive a notification with a sound, even if they’re no longer viewing the iMessage conversation.That would make this app incredibly useful for shared timers!
Works, but simple formatting fix needed
MakeFitOnOneLine
Solid iMessage plugin, works as intended. Only complaint is that when I send a countdown, the text formatting wraps to a second line. The final digit of the seconds countdown creates its own second line and looks pretty scuffed. Please fix the text formatting / don’t make it wrap. i am on iPhone14 if that matters

Epic!

Used this app to joke around with my friends. Only complaint is that the countdown only works on iOS. MacOs the countdown freezes.That’s probably because the app is a sms countdown and not an i-message countdown… Still an epic app nonetheless 🤙
Developer Response
Thanks for the review, we are limited by MacOS as this is an iMessage app. There are thoughts on expanding to other surfaces but we built this to fill the iOS gap. Thanks again for the feedback!
