Big Day - Event Countdown Reviews

by Jasmineee~

I've used BigDay for years & i love it since I go to soo many events like conventions & conerts. Although i found out there is a limit to how many events you can have. I hate this. I dont want to delete my past events because they are like memories in my phone saying how long ago i did this. So idk. Not happy about this.. especially because i need to add 3 more events, but cant.

I love BigDay but recently, the widget option has disappeared. This was my favorite feature because I didn't have to go to BigDay all the time to see how far my events were. BRING THE WIDGET FEATURE BACK, PLEASE!!!!!

I was intrigued by the idea. The software works but is very basic. Here are some ideas that would help make the application more useful:

1. Integration with calendars
Eliminate duplicate entry for big days already in calendar
2. Ability to search internet for pics and add them without having to leave BigDay (very cumbersome)
3. Archive - place in BigDay to go back and see the big days that you have had, searchable and ordered by date. Currently the Big Day stays in the rotation showing you how many days since...not useful. I want to see when my next big day is. To remove it from the rotation, I must manually edit or delete my past big day

I thought BigDay was the white whale I have been looking for since iPhone introduced widgets. Alas, the widget doesn’t automatically update every day and sometimes not even after you open BigDay . If this was fixed it would be perfect!

I’ve been using BigDay for several years, and it’s almost perfect. I wish it had a more compact viewing option so I could see 4 or more events on a single screen (I can only seen 3.5 before it cuts off).

I love BigDay , but i wish it had the option to have (days / months / years) that i can choose from.

App is easy and great but they need to add hours, minutes and seconds! It's more fun for conversation when you can quote your retirement time to the second!!!

What can I say? I love countdowns!! I NEVER leave reviews but this I will take the time to do! BigDay has allowed my children and I to keep track of their Dad/my husband's return from deployment! We love that we can check it every morning and see his picture along with the time remaining! We use it to count down to events or how long since something happened and it is just a great way to relive memories of times gone by or look forward to coming events! I tell all of my friends about it when they ask what I use and will continue to do so! Thanks, Big Day!!

On every new iPhone I get, this is one of the first apps I download. It’s a countdown app, nothing more, nothing less. I’ve used BigDay since 2014 and it’s never disappointed me.

There’s no widget. Very misleading description in BigDay Store. The only reason I bought BigDay is because the developer claimed to have a widget.

I like having something to keep track of the semesters, and the personalization (and lack of ads!) is my favorite thing about BigDay. Really great!

I’ve been using BigDay for years. If serves a simple purpose and does it well! Developer was very responsive when I had an issue. 👍

I’ve used BigDay for...idk years! It’s not extravagant but clean and simple and too the point. Showing you a count down to an event with a picture. I like that it always works and isn’t clunky. Rating should be higher!

Very nice interface where you can choose whatever picture you want. Interface is pretty easy to use after you figure it out. I use it to track big events and for incentives and it works really well for that. I really wish it had an extension for the Apple Watch though.

This is a great visual calendar that lets you know how far away upcoming events are.

My wish fo future versions: 1) allow more than 20 events; and 2) allow you to save / recycle images used as backgrounds in BigDay ; 3) easy way to duplicate an event; 4) smaller bands in list mode so you can see more events. Thanks!!

I have been using BigDay for a few years now and I absolutely love it! The addition of the widget is so great, but I wish you could choose which countdown to show on the widget if you have more than one. Also, I wish you could choose weather your events were sorted oldest to newest or vice versa. I'm hoping that these things will be added eventually. I really do love BigDay and I hope it sticks around for a very long time. :)

I am super happy with BigDay! It's awesome because it lets you choose any date in the future. You just have to know the exact date and it will count down. You can also chose a background from your photos or keep the default one. You can also use emojis which is awesome cause not all apps let you use them. BigDay lets you know when everyday you put on there is coming. Like a birthday, holiday, or vacation. Great app! Keep up the great work. I highly request it!! 😃😃😃😃

I’ve used BigDay for a couple years now and have loved it from day one! Recently I noticed an issue with the widget not updating on my iPhone 12 mini. I contacted the developer and immediately got an email from Terry. I was able to explain to him what has going on and they responded back the same day. Genuine people who truly value the end user. I love BigDay and am amazed with BigDay developer! Keep up the great work!!!

The update I really want - Nice widgets. I have used Big Day Lite and Big Day for a long time. Never disappointed and always satisfied. Worth to be 5 stars.

I love BigDay, except for one thing. The countdown number is too large!!! I assume a majority of people are counting down to an event that is under 1000 days away... Heck, they're probably mostly counting down to an event less than 100 days away. BUT WHY IS THERE NO WAY TO USE LESS NUMBERS?!? You could possibly countdown to an event 99,999 days away!!! It's really just a waste of space. I would love it of they changed it to 3 numerical characters instead of 5. If you have an even over 999 days away, you'll survive. If not 3, then at least 4!
But other than that complaint, BigDay is beautiful and works perfectly!!

It works. It’s simple. It’s easily configured. Everything an excellent phone app should be!
