Countdown Star (Ad-Free) Positive Reviews

Great Countdown App, Almost PerfectCountdown Star is the countdown app I was always looking for. I think I look at the notification center widget to see my upcoming events more than my bank account 😅 it's so useful. I’ve been using this app for a few years now and somehow never purchased the free version. When I did, that’s when I ran into issues. I would love to see iCloud sync or import/export or account login - this would make it easier to backup and restore events. Currently, I’m painstakingly moving all of my events over manually to the paid app. It would be cool to be able to delete wallpapers and have desktop access too..CarbonrainVersion: 2.7.0

Finally Bought Full VersionAfter years of using free CD, I thought the app developer, who has faithfully updated through every ios revision for years, deserved payment. Didn’t really mind the ads in free... Really enjoy this app. Would give 5 stars, but the widget is buggy- 2nd event has scattered text & doesn’t display correctly. Also wish all events from free version would have merged into new paid ad-free version. Had to re-create everything. Other than that, sweet little app that allows customization, personalization, and special event tracking..TikiriwaVersion: 2.7.4

The basics with room to growIt’s your basic count up/down timer. It has a nice feature (paid version) that allows you to add custom photos to your events. However if I may offer some recommendations to the creators of the program that would greatly improve it in my personal opinion: 1: Allow an option for recurring events. It’s nice to know how long ago a birthday or anniversary or other special occasion was, but even better to know when it is coming around again each year. 2: Instead of, or in addition to, having a favorite that pops up, have an option that automatically changes the event that is displayed when you open the app to the most recent upcoming event. This would give a rolling screen as time progresses so that when you view the app you can see what major events are coming up and be able to use the countdown timer to help plan or anticipate those events even better. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if the ideas I am describing don’t make any sense and I would be happy to better describe them for you! Thanks for putting out a product that I can use!.PerrymedikVersion: 2.6.5

Okay app. Could be way betterBasic app function is to countdown to events. If you're pathetic like me, you'd rather focus on the future than today. So without complaint, the app works as advertised. You set up an event, customize the background and the app will show you how many months, days, mins etc. until the event. (Not even I need to count down mins to an event btw.). But here's the thing. That's it. Want to scroll between events. Nope. Want to quickly see what happens if you change the event date and compare to the old. Nope. Want to have a video or gif for a background. Uh uh. The one that really irks me is not being able to scroll between events. I should be able to swipe left or right and see the next event I'm tracking..RewardsGuyVersion: 2.6.1

Now works as it shouldUpdate: as stated in the developer's response, the latest update corrected the custom wallpaper and time zone issues, so the app now works as it should. Well that was a waste of money. I bought the ad-free version and that was a mistake. Supposedly you can select your own photo for the wallpaper, which it let me do, but close the app and open again and the custom photo disappears. It also looks like you can select the event time zone, since it shows in blue that it's using the default time, but there's no way to change it. Very disappointing..Kjs062500Version: 2.6.3

Easy and Fun to Use and Share!Select from a number of backgrounds available in the app, take a new photo, or select from your photo library. They are all stored within the app You can share your Countdowns – or Count Ups – with others by a simple click on the top menu: iMessages, email, Facebook, Twitter, Messenger, et al. With a simple drag of the slider you can set the Countdown to years, months, weeks, days, hours and seconds. The free version has very unobtrusive ads at the bottom, unlike other free apps with annoying and incessant advertisements. For 99¢ you can get rid of the ads, which I did, not because the ads were bothersome, but rather because I wanted to make a contribution to the developers for such a fine app. Get the app and delight your family and friends with a personal countdown to an important event..InfocusVersion: 2.7.0

Not Flashy, but I Like ItThis is a simple but useful app that I have stuck with for many years. It’s not flashy and by no means super robust, but it works for the simple task of picking a date, a custom background, and creating a countdown to keep life in perspective. I use it for the start of my teams’ NHL or NFL season, my wife’s period (she doesn’t know), or as military, the end of deployment or next leave. It does the job in a simple elegant way and I like it..Perspective!Version: 2.7.4

TimeTime is a man made construct. It helps us to quantify duration between events. I choose to accept time in a linear fashion and look forward to upcoming events, birthdays, celebrations, and tragedies. Countdown also counts up! How long have you been on your diet? How old is your puppy? I use Countdown for tracking both time passed and time to go. It’s useful and beautiful. I highly recommend it!.13illVersion: 2.7.4

Good countdown appSo, I really like this app. I've tried numerous others and they sort of paled in comparison. I like that this one is displayed in the widget section of the iPhone, and how customizable the events are. My only complaint is that it won't allow for skipping certain days, e.g., the weekends or weekdays or some random mix of the two. Other than that, it's fantastic and I highly recommend it to anybody in need of a countdown app!!.AnonymousPenHoarderVersion: 2.6.8

One fix that's allI love this app so much I use it all the time but for some reason I never get the notification when the event happens. I have notifications on in the app and in settings but it doesn't work please try and fix it if you can thank you and keep up the great work..Jacksthebest02Version: 2.6.10

WallpaperI tried to add a photo to my wallpaper and then use that for my background on my countdown. Every time I open my countdown, it has a blank, grey background. Frustrating! I reset the wallpaper to my photo and then it happens again when I open my countdown the next time! I paid for this app, so I’m a little disappointed! UPDATE: as soon as I posted this comment, the developer fixed the bug that was causing my issue! Thank you so much!!.Pixel-11Version: 2.6.3

Count upIt would be great if you can incorporate a count up feature. Like for birthdays and anniversaries. Purchases etc. and it would show how many years/months/days etc it will be in the next anniversary date. Eg birthday. Set at 5 Feb 2000. It will show countdown 1 year/365 days/etc to 5 Feb 2020 and count up 20 years/0 days/ etc. keep both features in one app. Too many apps on phone already. Confusing. Just charge $1.99 instead of $0.99..StormsailsVersion: 2.6.8

Really like it BUT....I go to “countdown websites” to calculate “how many WORK days until...” If you are struggling to get to a vacation or some financial goal the most significant countdown is how many days do I have to work for or until it? Even if holidays aren’t excluded- I would like this option..Akidd1967Version: 2.6.2

Ok, but has bugs and not intuitiveThis works for the most part, but major bug with wallpaper where it won’t save it. If you upgrade to ad-free version you have to start over. The interface is not intuitive and takes some getting used to. Wishes the widget would display based on my slider setting for the chosen interval for each timer instead of defaulting to days..SnowboardjoeVersion: 2.6.2

Great app for a $1.But half the fun of having it is sending the countdown to friends to “enjoy”. But the app sends huge self advertisements every time I send via the share Button regardless of setting. So instead of people saying “cool app, what is it” they say please don’t sent it anymore cuz we get the company ad every time . And it is a pretty big ad window in the text screen..Doesntwant3starreviewVersion: 2.7.4

Exactly what I was looking for.I love the simplicity and the ability to countdown to any date within seconds. My only want with this app is being able to countdown with specific days as well. I am counting down to a date in July currently but I want it to only countdown M-F, excluding the weekend. If such a feature is implemented, then 5 stars all the way..Coreax1993Version: 2.6.5

Won’t let me add a wallpaperI decided to download this one since the one similar to this that I downloaded for free was giving me issues on both my iPod and iPad. I tried to go and add a wallpaper, but it will not let me for some reason no matter how many times I press the add photo button. If it wasn’t for that issue, I’d give it 5 stars. It’s a great app, but I’d love to be able to add wallpapers that relate to m event.Kgibson97315Version: 2.7.0

Love this app!Absolutely love this app but wish there was a working widget. There is a widget at the moment but it always says “No Events”. I’d love to see the countdown of upcoming events. That would be very helpful. Am I missing something?.NMI IPhone UserVersion: 2.7.4

It’s a good start but needs more.I wish the app would allow you to import from your calendar or National Holidays. It would also be nice if there was an option to repeat so you didn’t have to set anniversaries, birthdays etc each year. I know other apps have that option but I downloaded this one because it works with my Apple Watch..KrepbVersion: 2.6.4

Great interface, but where are notifications?The interface for this app is the best looking by far. I immediately purchased the ad-free version about 2 weeks ago. I have an issue though. Even though I have Notifications turned on in both the event and in iOS for the app, I never get a single message pop up on my phone. No message and no sound. Without it, the app is not really helpful. Also, there is not badge icon displaying on the app icon. It does show up as a widget though. Sent an email on developer site but no response. Hope to get one here. Running iOS 12.0/iPhone7 Countdown Ver: 2.6.8.Gadget_ManVersion: 2.6.8

Love itI’ve tried a few countdown apps, and this is my favorite. Like the stock photos and ability to choose my own. Easy to set up or edit any event..BrehayVersion: 2.7.4

It no longer displays countdown on app icon.I really liked this app, until recently. It seems to have lost the ability to display the countdown on the app icon. That is a fail for me..OregonForesterVersion: 2.6.3

Cool appSuggest adding a “how many working days until“ feature. Also, I love being able to use my photos as backgrounds, but is there a way to change the color of the script and menu bar icons? The blue color is lost in my photo..Just jakVersion: 2.6.8

Great AppI would give this 5 stars but I can’t find a way to have annual events repeat year after year. I love being able to add photos for birthdays, but am finding it cumbersome to roll annual events over to the next year. Am I missing something?.SsartiniVersion: 2.7.0

Something to look forward to!I love to put special events and travels on countdown star! It always provides a mental lift to see how many days until my next cruise, vacation or birthday..Chrisb50Version: 2.7.4

Great AppI’ve been using Countdown to keep tract of pending appointments as well as other important dates for a long time. It saves me a lot of time and effort and helps me avoid making appointments for the wrong day and time..Lily of the Valley67Version: 2.6.8

Great App!It’s simple to use. Seeing no ads is fantastic! Easy to customize with your own pictures. If tracking events is your thing you’ll really enjoy this app..Aunt Gaye GayeVersion: 2.6.8

The Only Countdown App NeededSuper simple countdown application without advertisements. The provided photos are perfect and it allows access to you camera roll. I have been using thus app exclusively..Zorro AndanteVersion: 2.6.1

App works but can get the widget to workApp works but can get the widget to work. Consequently, I have to open the app each time I want to see the countdown. It’s a bit of a nuisance in that way. Hence, the 4/5 rating and not 5/5..Kate with 20/20Version: 2.7.4

Lacks some features that would make it betterWould like to be able to enable different sorting and default options. For example, should be able to default to the next upcoming event automatically..Carolyn33711Version: 2.7.4

Paid 2xI downloaded this app, then realized there was a paid version ( only .99- can’t beat it) but , I paid , put my password in , got the ding and check mark and it didn’t download . So I tried again. And it worked. So it was a $2 app instead now, but still cheap enough..CadamskiVersion: 2.7.0

Okay appNeed to be able to set each countdown to its own time. I have three countdowns going and when when gets close I want it in days, next furthest in weeks and furthest one away in months. App only lets you have all set to same, months weeks or days..Bear down 11Version: 2.6.2

Good for one day!This app is not accurate. Yesterday was correct with 4 months from my wedding date and today it’s saying 3 months away. Do not recommend. Most of the countdown apps unfortunately are inaccurate. Disappointed..Model of FitVersion: 2.7.4

Great appReally enjoy using this to count the days until my surgery. Worth the extra fee not to have ads.LolabelikeableVersion: 2.7.4

Absolutely the BESTThis is the best countdown/count up widget I’ve ever seen. So easy to use. Small download. Doesn’t run my battery down. Fully customizable. And only $0.99!?! The free version is just as fabulous. As my husband and I navigate immigration (in the middle of a pandemic) it’s important to have countdowns AND count ups! Buying this app to support the developers! Thank you guys for a fabulous product at a fantastic price!.Jratner214Version: 2.7.4

PerfectBeautiful simple.GerarddeaVersion: 2.3.0

Good and simpleI like this app. It does what it's supposed to do. I have some suggestions though: I would like it to have a count of how many weeks are left instead of going straight from number of months to number of days. Also, it would be nice if you could have a start and end date for a countdown that would tell you a percentage of what is completed. ie 45 days left and there were 100 when you started so you're 55% of the way there. Thanks!.LFBIVersion: 2.3.0

Countdown Star (Ad-Free) Negative Reviews

Don’t want secondsYou can only move the banner to three set locations which do not always look good. Also, I just want to countdown days, not minutes, seconds etc. It is supposed to be a count down to good things not look like a doomsday bomb or bad event about to go off. It would also be nice to edit font & color but that is just a suggestion..CharrliezVersion: 2.7.4

You can export/import into the full versionOnce you download the full version, you are not able to import your data from the free version. I had more than 14 events, and decided to buy the full version to get rid of the ads. But I ended up with a new app, so I need to manually recreate all my events. That’s a fail IMO. Sorry guys, I know is just 1$, but it didn’t worth for me..Child29Version: 2.7.4

ReviewThis app is amazing except for one thing: notifications. The app itself can count up and down and also has wallpapers which is all lovely but this means nothing if I have to keep checking the app instead of the app sending a reminder saying it’s someone’s birthday etc etc everything else is fine but this app won’t get 5 stars unless the notifications happen..Skywalker2125Version: 2.6.8

Disappointed. 😞I’ve used this app for six years plus and have loved it. But recently some of my favorite features have disappeared. The photos I download from my camera roll don’t stay on the app. I have to keep downloading them. And the days left doesn’t appear on the app on my screen. Two things I really depended on. Please fix it or I’ll be forced to find another app. 😞.CandybuttonVersion: 2.6.2

DISPLAYS ONLY ONE ITEMThis could be a very nice app but it will only display one single countdown on the entire screen in the app. It is a shame that this limitation makes this app useless for me. I expected to see a list of my countdowns in the app. I never should have purchased this without more thorough checking. I'm leaving this review to help any others who are considering this app.._KEM_Version: 2.6.10

Can’t upload personal wallpapersI purchased the Ad-free version thinking that I would be able to upload my own wallpaper (just as it says on the app store) however, it doesn’t matter how many times I close and open the app my pictures won’t even come up. Overall this is a good, but uploading my own pics is pretty important to me, so for now I will give it a 2 star. Hopefully this will get fixed..LalaJoanVersion: 2.7.0

Good but really wanted a count-UPI see there is a spot in Events for the CountUPs, but how do you add one. I’ve emailed the developer with NO response as of yet. Will change this to a 5-star when I get an answer that works..JohnsrobVersion: 2.6.8

Notification Widget stopped workingThis was my absolute favorite app. Loved it so much I got the paid version to support the developers. Sadly good things don’t last. A few months ago the notification widget stopped updating. I then had to open the app everyday to update the notification widget number and then a few weeks later it suddenly disappeared altogether. No more notification bubble. You have to open the app to see the countdown. The notification is why I bought the app and supported it. Now it’s a wast of space on my phone. If this option is not fixed soon I will just end up deleting it..DLRogueVersion: 2.6.2

Great app, waiting for update to correct fontsGreat app - been a long time user. Unfortunately the last update did something to the fonts and the screen is now cluttered.
