Countdown Plus Widgets Lite

ETA: Issues seem to be fixed, and once again my widget works great! Had this app/widget on my Samsung Galaxy S5, and it was AWESOME. But now suddenly on my Samsung Galaxy S6, the times don't update on the widget? I have to go in and either delete the widget and reapply it to the page I want it on, or I have to change the grid layout on the screen. Fix that issue and I'd happily rate this higher, but in the meantime, I feel like I paid for widgets that don't work right.

The fact that the widgets don't update really bugs me. I paid for the extra widgets because I wanted a different one besides the calendar looking one and yet they don't update every day like they should! This is super annoying! I have to delete the widget and set it up again for it to update. What's that about? What's the point in having a widget on the home screen to tell you the countdown if it doesn't actually countdown? Please fix this!

I downloaded this app to try out as I have all kinds of things to count down to and reminders. People have complained about having to pay to access some options. I don't see why they complained. Even paying to unlock everything isn't expensive at all and is cheaper than a cup of coffee from Starbucks. That's money well spent in my eyes. Thank you to the developers for a countdown app I can happily live with and use on a daily basis.

I love that you can personalize the background of the count down as well as the font. You can have multiple count downs going on at a time and it will also allow you to have a count since (ex: how many days since I got married). Only thing I would change if I could is to have it do longer than days, months for example. However, that might be available if you pay money. For a free count down, it really it great!

I didn't mind paying for this app, the only problem I have is that I wanted each countdown as it is shown in the banner mode to show exactly that way on my screen. Instead the banners show but it's in a box together that has a Facebook icon, plus icon and a calendar icon at the top. I DON'T WANT THAT EXTRA FRU FRU! I simply want the banner to show. Other than that, this is exactly what I want as most count downs don't offer years.

I'm using this app to keep track of how many days until my one direction concert. Its really great and gives you occasional updates on how many days. The only problem is that every time I go on the app it asks me to rate this (I'm only rating so it will shut up) and there are ads at the bottom.

Design is nice and all. Yet it's a bit of a chunky app and you need to get the paid version for basic functions such as displaying widgets and counting down in years, months and weeks. Seems to be a mostly free app but it's very limited. Got rid of it again.

For some reason you need to have four "time values" selected, meaning that at minimum you need "days" ticked. When the countdown falls below 24 hours the widget just says "0 days" so stops actually counting down when it gets close. Would be better to either switch automatically to hours or allow you to choose fewer "time values".

I use the picture upload part then put the widget on my home screen to remind myself in pictures of my goals. It helps me to focus and move my life in that direction. It reminds me of the things that I care about. I set the app on daily repeat. Best of luck using this app. May you your utmost potential and realize your loftiest dreams.

Overall I found this the best countdown app android has to offer and was happy to pay for premium features. But, I find the GUI really dull, and not very modern. Id like you to remove the title on the app, get rid of the grey colour scheme, and theme it closer to lollipop ;)

I have a galaxy s5 and haven't had any issues, it doesn't ask me to pay unless you want extra features. I add my photos, edit the color and fonts and still no charge. I've used it about 3 months now and will keep using it as long as it doesn't change :)

So far this app is pretty good! When you choose a photo for the polaroid widget the cropping tool is a rectangle (the kind that keeps the ratio when you drag the sides or bottom), however, the widget is a square, so half the photo is missing. Little thing, but it annoyed me so much that I wanted to uninstall and refund my money! A full page widget or better crop tool would fix this. But if you're not OCD like me, the rest of the app is good!

Yes you have to pay to get the cool features but it's free to use my own photos and hey I can Google some images to make things fun. But.. let's face it we are using this for free and someone took the time to make this app so the pay features are to pay for the app creators time. No one works for free. I am happy with what i get for free with this app.

The app does not add all of your calendar events and doesn't give you an option to sync only one Calendar vs. All of them. I'd buy this app if it was better integrated to calendar events not just two out of the 10 I have coming up. What's weird is there is no reason for the ones it picked to add.

The only thing I don't like is that you HAVE to have 3 types of time ie. Day, hours and minutes. I would have just prefered month and day but you have to pay for the upgrade to have months and years. Other than that it is a good countdown app.

Why can't I just select days , hours and minutes as shown on your screenshot in the website. When I try it says must select 4 time variants ...so I end up having to add seconds which I don't really want that level of accuracy.

I love every aspect of this app! I highly recommend it. It's a beautiful way to have important dates to remember. It's not like putting it into your calender which sometime sis not only boring but will remind you if things late. Download and see for yourself.

With my Galaxy s5. I upgraded (specifically for use of that feature), however, am unable to use it. :-( I should've done more research online to know that that feature is unavailable. Otherwise a very good app. You can add your own pictures and very easy to customize!

I did pay for... one of the packages (I can't remember which) and it was totally worth it! I would highly reccommend this app to anyone with enough space for it. The widget won't fit on my main home screen without either being off center or moving my apps around so I can't have that particular feature, but other than that,

You have to open app to see your countdown which is why I gave it only 2 stars. I don't want to have to purchase a background either to use when it's free. If these things were changed, I would Rate the app a 5. I think I'm going to uninstall and find a different countdown.

Why do I have to manually add a holiday via custom event?  I can't just go to my calendar and just quickly add Holidays from there. Good app and the only one of its kind but this really should be looked at.

Hi great app, very useful for keeping track of up and coming dates. Can I ask though, I'm not sure it's picking up dates from my calender if they are set to "all day" events, is that the case and is there a way to overcome this?

Only thing I dislike about this app is that it lacks persistent data, even after paying money. I needed to get a warranty phone, transferred my apps over, and all the countdowns I've had in place are now gone. You could do better for your customers who paid to support this.

I love this app- very easy to use and very helpful! The only thing I would have to say that I dislike is that you have the buy the full version to add a widget to your homescreen.. which is too bad because I want the widget, but don't want to pay! Otherwise, perfect app!

I downloaded last year for our vacation countdown. After that vacation came and went, I deleted this app simply to clean up my phone. Well it is vacation countdown again so I went back to this app as I had been pleased with it. Wish I could remove the "seconds" part of the countdown without paying. Otherwise I am pleased or else I would not have chosen a second time!

I like the simplicity of this app. Don't expect to have all the bells and whistles unless you pay. I enjoy just having the countdown timer. It's a great reminder of how long I have to complete long term projects. As a procrastinator, it helps keep me on task.

It's soo useful to see the event get closer and closer. Me and three other friends used it to count down to insomnia which is tomorrow!! Even my mum uses it. Perfect for Christmas maniacs because you can always see the seconds counting down!!! Just can't do everything because you have to pay. Definitely recommended though. An alternative could be 'Big Days' 365. But I don't have it installed... yet ★★★★☆

Love using this app. The only reason I gave 4, instead of 5 stars, is that the app doesn't recognize any events you mark as all day events on your calendar. Once you update your all day events to events with time ranges, the app will recognize them. Bit of a pain to do that...otherwise I'd have given the app 5 stars.

I upgraded so that I could have the widget but you can't customize the text of the widget and it just says #days until. Get rid of until or let me put the title. And allow you to adjust the times. I like days hours and seconds. So annoying

Despite what people have said about limitations without paying, I used this app so much, I decided to buy it... yes there are extra things you can do after the purchase, however, I didn't see any limitations before I made the choice to buy it, very good!

The pop up to rate the app 5 stars or no choice is frustrating.  It's preventing me from using the app because it's so annoying. I would rate it 2 stars because it's just a pop up.  But i dont have that choice from the pop up.  Clearly the reviews are biased because you have to click 5 stars just to get rid of the darn pop up so you can access it.  Waste of time.   Would not recommend. 

Well it does, but you can only see it when you go onto the event. The image on your homescreen is just the event name and a boring coloured calendar image. What's the point in selecting an image then?!

I like it. Wish I didn't have to upgrade for most features but it gets the job done.

I knew it wouldn't have many features so for what it is, its great. Hoped for other basic functions but it does what I need it to do.

Paid $2 for the upgrade. Was dissapointed. Minimal picture options and it still only allows you to choose 4 countdown options (year, month, day, minute, second, etc.)

For a widget it will try to bill you when there are plenty of other count downs that are free with a free widget. So worthless and wasted my precious time!

I like this app but it's interface of picking dates to track from google calendar was not that intuitive. I kept clicking the date instead of the plus next to it which I didn't really pay any mind to. When you click the date all it does is open it in a calendar app. Regardless it does what you want it too once you know how to use it proper.

This is an awesome app. It helps me keep track of how long my husband has been deployed. Counts down to when he will return home. Keeps track of how old my son would be, and how long I've been married. Love that I can choose to count things in years, months, days, hours, and minutes! Also love that I can associate my own pictures to the counts.

It shows me that an event is coming pretty much every three hours, and I feel this is too much. If an event is that important you will not forget it. This is the only thing that let the app down.

Simple and easy to use. A countdown app doesn't need a lot of features. This one has every feature it needs to work great and do what it's supposed to. I do wish that when selecting a picture you had the option of just using the whole picture spread out instead of having to crop it to fit the screen. Which is really a small, unnecessary complaint and it doesn't effect its functionality. I wound recommend this app.
