About this app

Note for 07/17/2016: The moon graphic that is used in the background is now set to show the actual phase of the moon!

A very simple Countdown Timer to Halloween. When I say "simple", I mean just that. It is just a countdown timer. There are no other unnecessary options or other things to bloat the program. The upshot is that even with a widget included, the entire app is under 2MB.

I've seen the reviews for other programs that complain about this sort of thing. So please know ahead of time. This is intentionally a very small, simple program.

The counter will automatically reset and begin counting to next Halloween on the day after. This means there is no need for you to download an update. The program is date-aware and will do this on its own.

The widget is 1x1, to take the minimal space on your desktop. It only counts the remaining days. To count more often than that would be a terrible drain on the battery. The idea here is, you can run the widget for a summary, and tap on it to get the full countdown.
NEW: Additional 3x2 widget that shows the full time. It still doesn't update any more often than the 1x1. So it's not accurate to the second. Still a nice addition.

This is designed for phones first. So it looks great on any phone. It will run on any tablet as well. There will just be an awful lot of empty space, as you can see by the screen grabs.

Also, please check out the companion app for Christmas:

Ratings and reviews

Worked fine, I like that the widget is transparent so it blends in with whatever background you have.

Can't see it to local time, I'm in Australia. It's currently 9:40pm and the app says there is 56h 1h 19m. Which means it's set to a different time slot.

You have to open the app to see the countdown. It would be better if it were a widget.
