Time Until | Countdown Manager for Android
This is one of the best apps I have found for this, and it is definitely the one I would recommend compared to others. The only reason I have given 4 stars it their online photo selection - it changes roughly once a month (which people may like but I'm not really a fan of) and there isn't really a lot of pictures on it... They're all fairly similar I've found. Works great but a few more photo choices wouldn't go amiss to me :)
I shelled out for the premium version so I could get the repeating events and it works as it should, however, what works poorly is the reminder function. Often times, a reminder comes through several minutes later than scheduled our not at all and it seems to be random in how it will perform. One day it will work, another it won't, or it will just be off by a varying degree of minutes. Oh, well. An enhancement I'd suggest is a little more versatility in pan & zoom on custom background pics.
Super frigging easy to use and setup. It's free to download and use. I donated to the developer. Not to upgrade to the premium version, but because I wanted to support them and thank them for such an awesome, straight forward, easy to use app/countdown timer. The free version didn't even have any annoying advert's interfering with my use. You can choose the date and time formats in the settings list that you are accustomed to. Also, the time units of measurement can be selected 1, 2, or top 3 of your choosing. From seconds to months, or choose the timer unit, which has just about everything. My favorites to choose are timer, and hours. I use this for a game I play so that I can set army unit queues in factories and have them all drop during a competition to see who can train the most. The rewards are pretty good. And this app makes that easy.
Please create a sync option! I use this app to give a family member who is on the autism spectrum a definite and clear understanding of what is coming up and when. However they use multiple devices and I have to manually edit every single entry multiple times. Having paid for the full version, I'd expected that it would have a sync or transfer option. Can you please consider doing this?
Other countdown widgets I've tried would either stop working out of the blue or miscalculate the time. This one requires no manual updating of the remaining time, and it offers many scales of countdown. It's so simple to use, and it has increased my quality of life in such a simple way
The UI is great, but UX and overall usability is poor, even in such a simple app. And this is not about adds, I don't mind them at all. First of all, what's with a.m, p.m format, it makes people do that extra tap, and for what? Second of all, the trash bin button is menacingly near the option button, and it would be tolerable if the app would ASK IF I REALLY WANT TO DELETE THE EVENT. And, finally, the format of time, which to display, should probably include mixed units, like days and minutes, or, well, I know it would sound bizzar, HOURS AND MINUTES. P.S. Best choice of all the similar apps on playmarket so far.
Best count down app. I love the clean and simple UI and it's easy to use. Looks great and performs well, and the widget is amazing as well. I can't believe other, way worse countdown timers appear first when searching, they all have poorly designed UI's that are tacky and ugly.
I paid for the premium version thinking you would get access to a host of customizable options. Perhaps font colour etc but was very disappointed. It's an okay Free app. But would rather not have paid for it.
If you like the screenshots above, you'll love it. What you see is what you get, a modern and sleek interface and design. I find that I'm opening it not just to check my countdown but to admire my photo and event pairings. I didn't know I wanted this until I got it.
I got sucked in on this one. Upgraded thinking I could use the widget without a background image to blend it into my home screen. If there is a way then this is an incredible app if not then please add this feature
Disappointed with widgets and time settings. Can't get the widget to show months and days and shows incorrect no. of months. Shows incorrect no. of seconds and can't adjust. Upgraded thinking it would solve the issues but it didn't. Silly me. A waste of my money and time.
Images of choice are beautiful, once the countdown is started it looks fantastic as the pictures show. The layout of the app istelf isn't as good as it could be. Never the less everything is easily accesable and works well so far.
Not the most imaginative app I've ever used. Ok does the trick but wouldn't rush out to use it again
I love this event count down app. Out of all the count down apps, this one is my favorite. It's easy to use and has better options to choose from. I gave only a 4 star tho because the one thing I wish would be added would be MORE backgrounds from the gallery that would match the event planned... Birthday, holiday, family trips, etc. Other than that, it's perfect.
Great app but i have one problem, i've donate the app in my tablet and i download it in my phone. But the donated version only apply in my tablet, and when i try to donate in my phone, it says error. Could you help with this one please. I'll give you 5 stars after this. I like this app, so thankyou
Great! Easy to use and looks lovely. The only thing is I wish I could change the colour of the text for the timer because the white gets lost over some backgrounds :)
So I paid for the app I was looking for months weeks and day's I can only choose months... lame, or weeks pretty lame, or days OMFG that's what I paid for only one choice. I'll give it one day then I'll dispute for a refund. Never mind just un-installed gave a bum two bucks now I feel better.
Probably one of my favourite apps! It has really helped me keep track of all my due dates as a student, not to mention motivate me to work in advance!
Greetings from premium user Mr. Bruno. Good work. While dim and blur effects are useful, could you please consider adding transparency for images in app and also on widgets? Thank you
Its a shame there is no way of changing the colour of the text. White does not show up that well on most of my photos.
I would like a feature where you can set the timer to countdown to a local time in a different location (not necessarily the time set on your phone). For example if i am in europe and a family member has some event in australia (such as a birthday) i would like it to countdown to the local time where they are. Or if i go on a trip, I want it to countdown to my arrival in the country that i am travelling to based on the local arrival time. Other than this, the app is great
But please focus on "Since" feature too. I loved the GUI of the app but I want to save my past events instead of future countdowns. Like how many time ago I did something with costum Goals (like Sober Time app) and reset option. This will make your app more useful for multiple purpose. Thanks. Hope u will consider it.
Nice and easy! The only bad part is that either you cannot change the font color or I can't find out how to do it
I don't know why I want a countdown to exactly when something will happen, but it's worth the storage on my phone. It has a beautiful, sleek design. I recommend it.
No clutter, got what's needed, and its beautifully designed. Just one thing, would like for timer widget to show when choosing 'month' the days elapsed through the month.
It's says I can add as lock screen?? But I don't see an option to.do so. If I can figure out how def 5 stars. It's simple to set up but was tricky trying to figure out how to get on as wallpaper
Love this app. Use it daily. My only complaint is the trash can is too close to the three dots and I accidentky deleted two count downs.
Looks lovely. I would really like it if there was a feature for it to countdown as persistent notification though, but even without that feature, it's still an amazing app.
Awesome. No bells or whistles just the exact countdown. Can download your own back ground. Only downfall is you can't chande text or colour of text.
Increase the pictures by categorising them so the app could be more attractive. Make all the countdown appear on single page so users can see days for count down at a time. Please make it available as file format. App is excellent for its online gallery
This app is awesome and easy to use. However, I have a little request. Please add a full transparent screen widget so my home screen can get a better look when placed with system clock widget together. Thanks.
Really great app! Other countdown apps I used doesn't have as good user interface. Also, level of modifications is awesome. :)
Best countdown app this far. It works perfectly and their own online photo gallery is really nice and there is much to pick from. Deffinetly going to use this alot in future.
It helps me keep track of the last time someone text me so I have a valid point when I start an argument. Lol... but on a good note it helps me keep track of important dates like exams, weddings or anything that I have to get ready for.
A good app but let down by a lack of font colour options. Using a light picture means you can't read the text. Fix this for five stars.
I kept downloading and downloading countdown apps but nun of them worked how I wanted or even a bit good, until this one! I have so many events on it already lol but really it's amazing! I completely recommend using this app!
This is THE best countdown app hands down! I've tried so many and none did what I really wanted... This one does and does it so simply and beautifully!
I love how much I can personalize it. Very easy to use. Also, like that I can share my countdowns with others.
In one word, beautiful. Love the UI and the perfect picture gallery. Would be nice if you could pick events from your calendar but otherwise 5 friggin gold stars!

Easy to use! I like how you can change the break down of how you would like to view the countdown! Very beautiful background options, yet not really any that would go with my own personal reminders, ex: birthdays, anniversaries, but has a lot of travel! Luckily it gives me an option to pull a picture from my gallery! Works 100% BETTER than other apps that I have used!
