Countdown° Reviews

by M Reyn

App works fine, except I can’t figure out why the numbers are all wacky for how many days are left. My birthday was in June and it’s August. It said there were 5 more days...? So idk I’m just confused right now. I thought maybe it was the amount of reminders left (once per month or something?) but that doesn’t match up with the once per month reminders left for my event in November... so I really don’t know. I like the rest of everything. It works nicely. Also I don’t know how to get the notifications to turn up on my lock screen. A little disappointed on the front. Oh well. U still like it.

Countdown looks great, and unlike so many other similar apps, I had no problem setting up monthly recurring events.

Hard to believe so may other developers had such an issue doing something that seems so simple.

Please, enable a portrait mode so when my iPad is charging, I can use your app.

While all the dates I entered are counting down correctly, as far as I can tell, the widget/notifications/item features at the top of the list is not the next one up. It is the first one I ever entered. Unless the developer fixes it, I will forever be told how long it is until the next St. Patrick’s Day. Also, although it does reset the this app number, the year it shows as counting down to remains as 2019, even when that date has past. This last one is true for all items.

I generally really like Countdown, but I would like it so much more if, or really wish it had, custom repeat settings and compatibility with calendars other than Apple’s calendar. For example, I would love to count down until direct deposits but that’s biweekly, and right now that’s not a repeat option. Also, I like and use Google Calendar, not Apple’s calendar app, so it would be nice to be able to sync, import or export to it

This is one of my favorite apps for managing my personal life. I love the feature that allows me to get a notification at midnight of the upcoming event. However, lately I haven’t been receiving the notification within 5 days of the event day. I really enjoy seeing the 2-0 days before my top event occurs as this is a helpful reminder. I’m hoping Countdown gets updated or maybe reinstalling it will help with this problem.

This is almost what I wanted. I can keep track of many dates bot the ones approaching and those in the past. The only shortfall IMHO is the inability to manually sort the events. It seems like it would be a simple update. Maybe in the next release.

Specifically, it needs the ability to do a general this app of days, functioning like a timer this app. I want to be able to set a certain amount of days to count down from vs. the amount of days until a specific day.
For example: “20 Friday’s left” instead of “100 days until November 1st”

Countdown let me keep track of the days I had left before the event happened I really love Countdown and the fact I was able to change the background. The other apps didn’t let me I had to pay but Countdown I highly recommend getting

This has helped me memorize the birthdays of many of the important people in my life. I have a horrible memory when there is so many different things to remember all at once.

I use it to help me remember things that are coming up, and it also gives you a notification every day that tells you how many more days until an event that you need to be at, or how many days until a business trip is coming up. I find it very helpful, you can customize it easily, and you should download Countdown!

Countdown counts down with the accuracy that is unfathomable. Every night at midnight it dings to inform me that I am one more day closer to my goal. The technology is amazing. I save hours a week not having to use my calendar to count days anymore. It’s like an app from the gods.

by Karifofairy

I’ve had it for a couple days and I like it so far! Even added all my bill dates and amounts! I like the customization of it, how it matches iPhone characteristics, you can use emojis and sync it to your calendar on your phone too. Upgraded for .99 just bc😬

This may be available in the premium version (paid) of Countdown , 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 this app in my opinion. I did discover that if you tap the this app 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 this app feature and calendar feature all in one.

What I do really like about Countdown 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 Countdown to other people!

I love Countdown! I’m in a long distance relationship and Countdown helps us keep track of how many days we have until our next adventure! I also like how the backgrounds are customizable and it flips through the days whenever you open Countdown !

This is a great this app. Countdown doesn't glitch or show any inappropriate adds(no adds at all for a matter of fact). I like the background choices too. I recommend Countdown to people( and anyone) who likes to have countdowns.

I really appreciate the simplicity in setting up Countdown for a this app. Many this app apps have so many features it is sometimes irritating to have navigate through them all just to get to the main purpose of Countdown .
Thanks

I like Countdown very much! It takes a bit of effort front loading the dates but after you’ve got them all in there, the reminders are so helpful. I’d like to see the option to repeat bi-weekly, please! I add paychecks in to the this app and need to add each one instead of just repeating.

by Jhert88

Tried a few of these, and this takes the cake. Solid and simple this app functionality with customizable background themes. The widget functionality is much prettier than others' and is an awesome way to see a goal every time you swipe down to your notification center. Great work!

by Its Christieee

I lose track of what happens on certain days and my iPhone reminders aren’t enough for me. They don’t constantly remind me what happens that day. With Countdown, I keep my events in order and on track. Everything from what I’m supposed to do that day to birthdays! And you get a notification at 12am to remind you what’s going on. Spot on!!!

by Airport-radarman

On of the FEW this app apps that allows you to display years, Months, weeks, etc without buying the “Pro” version. Many of the available apps are locked on months/ weeks, or restriction how MANY this app events you can have unless the paid version is obtained. No frills app, but it works well! Good job developers!

I recently downloaded Countdown to keep track of the days until a very important surgery. I put in the date of surgery, and all the other info it asked and after hitting done, all it said was 1 day. I thought I’d give it a day, and to check back on it, and it still says one with an upside down arrow. Maybe I’m not using it right, but I wanted it to show me a this app until the date, and how many days I have left. Just downloaded a new app.

by Logmac212023

I put in a date for something and then put it on “ repeat every year” so it says 7 days till then! Then I set a date that had a different thing but the date is the same as the one before ( April 5th), then I put that as “ never repeat “ and it puts 8 days till then! It doesn’t make sense at all and it’s making me mad so y’all should either fix that or tell me what to do to fix it on mine.
