4.6 out of 5
Worked the First Time but not since

Countdown I’ve uninstalled re-installed and tried to re purchase and it keeps giving me the same error when I try to sync up my apple calendar. “Problem - A problem has occurred while trying to perform the operation” and it won’t fix itself and it’s upsetting because that was the whole reason I got Countdown as for the calendar notifications it worked for first trip but not anymore please fix it.

Does not live up to the reviews

I read all these great reviews and purchased the premium version. Well, my experience is nowhere near what others have written about. What’s the point of uploading wallpaper photos if it causes the widget to freeze and not update?
The to do list doesn’t allow you to add/change items. It is a list Countdown provides and you can only create reminders. I could do that on my own for free.
Needless to say, if I had to do it again, I’d skip Countdown completely and find a more versatile one.

Money grab

I’ve never really left a review for anything before, especially a one star review, but this made me so mad. Literally have had Countdown for 2 plus years and last night they made it where I have to purchase it to have the widget. Literally the whole reason I have they app. Why is Countdown free if you can’t do anything without making purchases? I’m just going to use the this app on my instagram story for now on. The trip reminders were outdated also, so they were of no help at all, good thing I go to Disney every year and don’t need them.

Poor customer service!!

I downloaded Countdown because it said I could add it as a widget to my iPhone 13 Home Screen. I’ve attempted to add it numerous times. I’ve even restarted my phone, per customer service advice. Still no luck. I paid for Countdown. And it is NOT what is promised. I’ve been in touch, via email, with support. They answered me one time, suggested I restart my phone. When that didn’t work, I replied saying as much. No response! Tried replying again. Still NO RESPONSE. I am NOT happy. I want my money back. You guys are a scam.

Okay not the best.

When you start you put in all the dates and im going the 20th and its supposed to be 30 days not 29. And you have to upgrade for a to do and a wallpapaer>REALLY?:(. I was annoyed but maybe you guys were not I would rather make my own count down than that. And PS the wallpaper is too big half the Magic Castel is cut off you can only see the middle! And they brive you to get it. What surprises me most is that they have a to do list and you have to pay for certain things you pick to do. WHAT?! So before you get Countdown just think about it. If your fine with buying it thats ok I respect that nothing wrong with that. But please thi k about it. And if you really want the thig you have to pay for were it shows you the wait times for rides just download DisneyWorld LineTimes with a blue little sand timer. Have a Good trip!

False advertising - no widget support

Reviews must be fake because you cannot add a widget. Not even recognized by iOS when adding widget, no toggle to enable in settings. Do not buy in-app purchase, just gives you wallpapers.

UPDATE - The dev responded but they seem to not understand that the this app app is NOT IN THE LIST OF WIDGETS. Hold down on home, tap “+” to add a widget, it is not there. You can even search within the widgets by typing “this app” and it isn’t there. Do not be fooled by the developer responses.

Not worth the money

Was super excited to see an app that I could use to this app to our Disney vacation. Countdown provides a generic reminder list that you can’t add anything to, unless I’m doing it wrong but I don’t see anywhere where I can add anything. Plus it’s not pulling the information from my calendar either. I know it’s only $2.99 but it doesn’t do what I thought it would. It’s gets 2 stars because of the this app clock and the background picture selection. Don’t waste your money!

Great when works

I downloaded Countdown three plus years ago because we were going to Disney in June 2020 but that didn’t happen. We just booked our trip for later this year. So I opened up Countdown and restarted it. It was working great. I even got the widget to install and all was good. Then the widget stopped working. I deleted it and reinstalled it. No go. I reset my phone. No go. I even deleted the widgets, restarted my phone and re added the widgets. No go. I can click on the widget and it shows me an updated this app but the Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets will not show correctly (or at all on the Lock Screen). Disappointing

Love it, but a few issues

I love Countdown . The Wallpapers are nice, and I love the reminders being done for me. I upgraded to the paid version to add the reminders to my calendar app.

I do have a couple problems, although I have set up the Siri shortcut several times, it does not work for me.

They also have the wrong date stored for when to make our Bibbidi Boppidi Boutique reservations and it can’t be edited, and I really need the reminder to book that 60 days out as soon as the date opens up!

I was hoping upgrading would help me resolve these problems, but it did not.

Does what it says-without data linked to you

I got Countdown because I liked their privacy policy. I wish I could select the time that my trip begins tho to make the actual this app days more accurate. My Disney day starts at 7pm for after hours.

Countdown counts your trip day as day 0-and it doesn’t count the current day in the this app. It’s March 7, and my trip is March 12. The this app says 4 days but I feel like the this app should be at 5 days.

Best Disney countdown app

There are a bunch of other this app apps for Disney, but this one is hands-down the best. Super easy to use, I love how I can customize how it looks, and the vacation to-do's feature for Disney parks is extremely helpful for remembering all the important dates. I was also happy to see it works for Disney Cruise and Universal Studios too.

Nice app to keep track vacation countdown

It’s a handy little app to keep track of vacation countdowns. Helps when the kids keep asking. Just pull it up and show them. Plus the push notifications for various items helps me remember to book and check on reservations.

How great it is to have this app

I like Countdown because then you won’t need to get a calendar to know when your leaving for your vacation! Also it shows you Hours,minutes and even seconds! So go get Countdown in your App Store or google play!

Great App

So like I made a paper this app the other day and I kept getting curious if I slipped a day so I would have to count every day but then I found Countdown and I was able to check my phone every time I got curious!

Disney countdown amazing ness

Thank you so much DISNEY this app for making this it helped me get it straight because me and my family were running around like our heads were cut off a couple days before we left

Amazing App

Countdown is absolutely what I was look for in a count down Vacation app!!! We are beyond excited to go on our big family vacation and this makes it even more exciting!!

Love This Countdown!

Having the this app for my Disney vacation is terrific! Every time I need a break from work, all I have to do is look and see that I’m closer to vacation. It’s almost like taking a mental vacation in the middle of the work day. 😃

Reminder of days before family trip

Easy access to see how many days before family Disney trip
