Countdown Days Since Until Reviews

I used CountdownDaysSinceUntil for years liked it. Kept all my important events for me. Now it everything is gone and it says something about syncing with the iCloud. Well I don’t use the iCloud so all my events are gone. No warning. Thanks for nothing. I can’t get those back and since I have them save to my phone they are lost forever. Apps should think about people who don’t want there info shared across devices and platforms. So disgusted with the way technology is leading people not the other way.

I've been using CountdownDaysSinceUntil for years and loved it. The latest update deleted all my events. Support says it's because I turned off iCloud access and events will be restored if I turn it back on. This is false. I have NEVER, in more than 10 years of iPhone use, allowed ANY app or the phone itself iCloud access. Never needed or wanted iCloud. CountdownDaysSinceUntil has worked just fine for more than 5 years without iCloud access. If iCloud is now required, I'll be deleting it and finding a new countdown app that doesn't require iCloud.

UPDATE: I re-created my events and they keep getting deleted after about a day. So it appears iCloud is now required. I'm done.

With all of the millions of apps in the AppStore, I cannot find an app that lets me share a days since counter with my wife. I want the ability to have a list of things that we do around the house that we need to be reminded to do. For example, how long has it been since we last changed the sheets on the bed? We many times lose count and the sheets can stay on the bed for 6 weeks instead of us both being reminded to do it every 2 weeks. We'd also like the ability to very quickly reset the counter with a swipe, just like CountdownDaysSinceUntil has. CountdownDaysSinceUntil has so much potential, and once you can sync counters across multiple users' devices, this will be CountdownDaysSinceUntil I have been searching for!

No sync, certainly no 5-star review. I mention 5-stars because to review this from within CountdownDaysSinceUntil , it makes you click, "Rate 5-Stars". Of course when you get here, you can rate CountdownDaysSinceUntil as you wish. I seriously do not like to have to click a button that says that I am going to rate 5-stars.
Somewhat easy learning curve, but you have to open the new app on all of your devices each time you enter a new event on one of your devices.

CountdownDaysSinceUntil is a great help keeping track of all the incoming tasks, appointments, the stuff of Life. I find that knowing with a glance how much time remains for multiple calendar events to occur is very helpful in organizing my time. Countdown does a good job of displaying in time not only what's coming at the user but also what has whizzed past us. For example, someone has promised a report on a certain date. It doesn't arrive. By glancing at Countdown you know how many days late that report is. It is easy to revise any aspect of a Countdown entry (date, time, title, etc). I like how I can easily bring in calendar entries into Countdown. I wish it were just as easy to transfer entries from CountdownDaysSinceUntil to my calendar. The process of setting up reminders is a bit cumbersome. That screen that tells us we don't have any reminders set up seems like an extra step to tap through. Can the amount of taps necessary to create a reminders be reduced? Can a sequence of reminders that I use over and over be saved and reused? "When information brushes against information the results are startling and effective (McLuhan)." Therefore the more connectivity the better. Mr developer, surprise us with new capabilities. Countdown is a good app that does the job but could be great. Thank you.

Needs Colors for text such as Blue For Birthday and Red For Holidays, etc... Also it should also allow for Anniversaries or Others, that can be created in the same location as Birthday in your Address Book on the IPhone. It also would be awesome if they allowed a button to sync the Reminders if you want them or not with a tab to just look at them.

I had to replace a previous, much beloved countdown app and came across CountdownDaysSinceUntil. It’s really very functional and has so many great features. One thing that I wish CountdownDaysSinceUntil did that I miss about the old app I had is it separated events that had passed from the ones still to come. CountdownDaysSinceUntil lists all events in the same stream and makes it difficult to follow the events you have coming up in the future.

I've been using CountdownDaysSinceUntil for several years without problems. Helps me keep track of dozens of events. Sorry it took so long to finally pay the developer for his work.
Today I paid full price because it's worth it. Buy it after you've tried it.

I think the widget is what makes CountdownDaysSinceUntil usable. I no longer have to remember to check CountdownDaysSinceUntil .

Plus I've set it up for my son on his iPad so I don't have to answer how many day until Christmas/birthday party/last day of school/etc. with the widget it's right there for him to check as many time as he wants.

This is the best app I've found for counting down then counting past events. The widget is nice as is the Apple Watch app. You can use custom backgrounds and special effects. The premium, ad-free experience is nice, and I much prefer a paid app to an ad-supported one. Well done and would recommend to anyone without exception.

Easy to use; I like how you can personalize the events with your own photos and icons; it's great to have a record of both "how many days since" an event and also a countdown of "how many days until" an event. I also like that you can send a screenshot and/or send the countdown to others.

Exactly what I wanted - and free!!! Great app.

I first discovered CountdownDaysSinceUntil looking for an easy way to keep track of my garden. A couple clicks and I have record of when I planted something. Then used it to track last time I changed my oil. AC filter, watch battery… the list is endless. Super easy to use!

Best Countdown App Available!!!!

By far the best app available for keeping track of how long ago/until something is happened/happening in a couple of different ways to make sure that you can see your most important events and anniversaries right from control center!!!

Since the new update when I click on reset for updating the event CountdownDaysSinceUntil crashes. I have turned my phone off and back on and I am still having problems. Love CountdownDaysSinceUntil , I will change back to 5 stars once the problem has been fixed.

I’ve been using this little marvel for 3 years, 1 month, 0 weeks, 2 days, 22 hours, 6 minutes and 52 seconds and counting, and it’s always performed beautifully (first on iPhone 4s and now on iPhone X).
I use it to count down the time until future events, like next week’s dental appointment and my hundredth birthday decades from now.
I also use it to count the time “up” since past events, such as my birth and last week’s viewing of a certain film.
Why document a trivial event?
Because seeing exactly how time flies is a profoundly useful thing. I’ve kept journals since 1984, and years ago they taught me that seeing how long ago some event was makes life more precious. Last week’s movie isn’t important by itself, but some day I might see just how far in the distant past that was, and it will remind me to seize the day.
The functionality in this is very impressive; for each entry you make you’re given a wide range of options, and you can always edit them no matter how much time has past since an entry was made.
I love being able to set an alert for a future notification that a certain length of time has past. That’s very handy.
Highly recommended!

feature request:

a lot of my day counters I use to track certain things. And it would be really cool if every time I reset it, that gets tracked, and then I can look under the event and see data for how often I reset it, and average time between reset and data of that nature.

I tried a few other counter apps and they all wanted to do too much (wanted names and birthdays, or to create an account) AND wants you to SUBSCRIBE to using a counter app. Absolutely not. CountdownDaysSinceUntil strikes the right balance between doing something well and letting me purchase something to support the developer.

Absolutely one of my go-to apps. Use it every day. Helps me keep track of time since things happened as well as time to events in the future. Everything can be nicely listed in order of date up or down or in alpha order if for some reason you prefer this. Events can be grouped into categories. Syncs well between iPad and iPhone. Cost for getting rid of ads is quite reasonable and it is a purchase, not a subscription model. And to top it all off, support is very fast, knowledgeable and responsive! Top program.

I use CountdownDaysSinceUntil to track time to or since events, and have for years, and it does everything I need for that.

I can track major events, seeing how long until that event or looking back on the time passed since it. But it’s also very useful for smaller ones, like tracking when I last cut my cats nails. It’s easy to differentiate events by name and picture and to update the time to now when I repeat the event by swiping left on the event in the main view and selecting “Reset To Now”.

I’ve never had any issues with bugs, CountdownDaysSinceUntil is well maintained and has great UI.

I just (June 2024) realized how I’ve been using CountdownDaysSinceUntil for years for free and decided to pay the one time fee for all “premium” features to support the developer. However this is totally usable without the paid features, as I’ve probably had it for 5 years and never needed to pay for it before. The premium features really are add ons, they DO NOT put core functionality behind a pay wall, which I really appreciate.

5 stars and totally recommend for the use case. I use it every day or so and have never been disappointed.

I hardly ever write reviews but I feel like this one deserves it. There’s never any ads, and it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. If you need to keep track of events or see how long it’s been since you’ve done something. Look no further. Highly recommend
