What are users saying about Holo Countdown

T70%
by T####:

Could you allow it to put older events in the past and tell us how far away it was etc? Reverse of its current function.

H70%
by H####:

Thought it was great that I could add photos, until you add a photo and it doesn't allow you to move or resize, so the icon shows a random section of the photo? Doesn't even default to the center. What use is that?

T70%
by T####:

Does what it needs to do but I'm giving up and looking for something with online sync or atleast the ability to transfer items from one device to another.

T70%
by T####:

Would like to be able to edit expired events for if the date has been moved ahead rather than have to make the event again.

H70%
by H####:

Dark theme and cloud storage?

Q70%
by Q####:

When an event is under a day it should show hours not 1 day. The widget and the app shows a different count for the same event. These are very easy fixes and it's hard to believe this app is rated so high. If you do get it, I would recommend you don't put photos with the events. Apparently they download them each time and it takes a ridiculous amount of time to load.

Z70%
by Z####:

When more than 1 event passes, pressing delete on the first notification deletes the WRONG events. I've had to reenter events several times. I wrote the developer some time ago but got no acknowledgment and no bug fix. Will keep it if it's fixed but shopping for another countdown in the meantime. If this is fixed I'd give it 5 stars.

Z70%
by Z####:

Missing some features: can't pull images from the cloud (Google Photos), widget can't be edited to show more than days, and ability to count time since for events passed

Q70%
by Q####:

I tried a number of countdown apps before finding this jem. The widget worked first time not a problem. Recommend you pay for this app and unlimited events.

Z70%
by Z####:

The widget doesn't properly resize when made bigger

V70%
by V####:

I can't add anything from 2016 through calender part. I have to do it through date. Please update for 2016.

Z70%
by Z####:

Would be better if the app counted hours when the event is less than a day away.

It's cheap and worth that price , I wish only if it have birthday setting that give my my age with detail's

This app not only looks great but does everything I need. You can import from your own calendar or create your own countdowns like a summer holiday.

Nice app, but it appears to have been abandoned by developer.

Love the redesign! Awesome App! Needs a backup or export option. Thanks Guys

Great lil app. Great functionality. Please consider adding cloud sync, Google drive?

Awesome!

Very good

N70%
by N####:

Really like the multi-event widget for my tablet. Would like the "full screen" display to show the time as well as the date. Also a bug.. the "Repeat Event" function isnt working well. In one case it showed and event 8 days out as 53 days out, in another (weekly event) it changed the time .

N70%
by N####:

Looks nice! Would love an option to show weeks instead of days till event as I am using the app for work management that goes by weeks.

N70%
by N####:

My assumption was that online backup allows a sync across devices. Guess I was wrong. App looks great, the widget is great, so I'll hold onto it in hopes that cloud sync happens in the near future.

N70%
by N####:

Will be nice to be able to use Google Drive to sync across the devices! Keep up the good work! :)

N70%
by N####:

But can we have some sync features? I hate having to remake all my countdowns on each device.

Could you allow it to put older events in the past and tell us how far away it was etc? Reverse of its current function.

Problem with the image not coming up, emailed the developer and he responded quick. 2 hours later issue fixed. 5 stars.

F70%
by F####:

Would love to see a few improvements and cross device sync

H70%
by H####:

Such a great app but would love to see a count-up feature (how many days past) for anniversaries. Also the ability to see countdown timer collaborated, E.G. This many days, hours and minutes. Not just how many total hours, total minutes, etc

V70%
by V####:

The app is good and very helpful, but my reminders just disappear for no reason.

G70%
by G####:

Could use two features: Ability to add events in past and list a 'count up' instead of count down, and ability to further compress the widget (I don't need the row with the name or +, and would like it to be further compressible). Else it's great!

C70%
by C####:

This one can set dates decades into the future.

N70%
by N####:

Five star great app if it had sync with Google account feature.

G70%
by G####:

The only thing I would add would be a "days since" function, instead of it displaying in red and asking to delete.

N70%
by N####:

The widget doesn't properly resize when made bigger

N70%
by N####:

It's a really intuitive way to monitor important events. Attractive interface, looks great on phone and tablet, lots of useful customization features, love the fact that it's updated often, this is the sort of program I don't mind spending money on at all. One necessary feature however is cloud saves. I use a phone and a tablet that I need to have my countdowns synchronized between. Manually doing it defeats the purpose. Good app though, keep up the good work.

O70%
by O####:

Beautiful looking interface and an easy-to-handle-app overall. BUT, only four stars because it's not possible to put only one event in a widget and resize it on the home screen to make it look like the big beautiful "screen safer" when you tap on an event in the app itself.

U70%
by U####:

I am setting a reminder to happen after 8 hours and it's giving a notification saying "is about to happnd" fix this please..

Absolutely love this app. Great developer, and I can't wait to see what he cooks up with Material Design!
