Ratings and reviews

I've had this app for a long time, probably close to 6 years at this point and does a great job at what it's designed for. Remains persistent for years, its a really simple app and I've never had an issue with it. I never used premium but still tolerable to use with free + ads. Works great for time since a date and time until a date. Easy to configure date/times, had to get used to the new UI. Overall no complaints, does its job even for long running tracking. My own review and long time user.

It's a great app for counting down to big events. Works for what I use it for, counting down to big days (wedding, pregnancy milestones etc) and even keeps count beyond those days so it works for keeping track of days since my last drink etc. My favorite part is how few permissions are required to use it. This can't be understated. Some stuff is locked behind premium, but I'm not going to need more than 5 countdowns going at a time so it's fine for me. Free app is worth it!

The app does what it says, but even the premium version is quite simplistic. There seems no way to add more than one reminder (i.e., if set for 15 minutes before the event end, that's all there is -- no notification that time is up). There is only one notification type (the standard one for the device), so third-party apps like Notificon are needed to change the sound. I wanted a countdown timer for my water kefir and although I use it, I may use another soon.
