Ratings and reviews

The way it handles "add notifications", is complicated and not all that functional (unable to assign desired sound). Each time the same event is updated it recreates the notification name. Resulting in many notifications (duplicates) with the same name listed in the device settings. No way to tell which duplicate event is which, and what sound was used. Reached out to developer in email, on how to use the repeat feature. Responded, has so-so email support.

I literally checked out 17 different countdown apps in the last two days, before choosing this one as the winner. They all share similar functions, but this one had everything I wanted (large text, countdown AND countup timers, notifications and more)and it seems to work glitch free so far, as I continue to take it for a rough test drive. I paying the small price for premium in the next five minutes.

I do like the app but what a pain putting in dates. I want to create a few previous dates but to keep tapping the back button on the date is horrendous. It really needs the ability to input a date or a scrolling wheel for day and for month and for year. Also need to have a calendar that goes back further than it does, why not to 1900 instead of 1971? If you can do these changes I'd quite happily pay for premium.
