I dont like to be forced to comment although this used to be a handy app before when I had it on another phone. We will see! Update: still cant get out of welcome screen instructions page without exiting. Please fix. Uninstalling. Galaxy s3
Would of gotten 5 stars if it had more brake down. Eg like days,hours and mins. Plus a few custom options like font and style would of got it 5 starts. Over all though goof app
Would love to be able to customize how the date is displayed; European day/month/year and two digit year instead of four. The current date I have displayed has just the last digit on a second line. Minor annoyance but ocd makes it a big problem.
Helps me keep track of long term project due dates so they don't sneak up and turn into last minute rushes. Also great for counting down days til vacation time.
What I mean is that... the font is too large and not much shows so the widget looks unprofessional. Also, I can't scale it to make it look better proportioned and fit in with the other widgets on the screen. So, I'll check the market (hate google's choice for the name) for another count-down widget.
The directions are not accurate for versions of Android that require you to add widgets through the widget tab of the apps menu rather than long pressing on the desktop. When trying to obtain the widget via the apps menu it does not show up.
This used to be a simple and great widget. Now, I also just get a popup screen w/instructions, 2 buttons - one goes to desktop w/no way to configure widget, other just goes to Play Store to rate. So I am: useless now, please fix. :-(
This is great and the only app I found where you can exclude specific days of the week. Only thing that would make it better would be to include an option to exclude public holidays in the UK/USA also. I'm counting down my maternity leave so I'm only interested in working days :)
In android vs 6.0 it doesn't refresh the widget, basically rendering this tool useless. Otherwise it's a nice and cool looking widget. Please fix and I'll change my rating.
Love this widget. I have a few counting down the days to holidays or other important moments. Just nice to see the countdown to a break. 44 days and counting ;-) Would also like to change days to weeks and count onwards if possible in an update?
Could not install on Motorola Droid Maxx with provided instructions. Instructions for installation did not apply to this phone. Widget installation is different for this phone. Worked great once I figured installation for this phone.
Beautiful, easy to use. Others are bogged down with too much text or icons on every surface. Customizable simplicity is the selling point of this widget.
It's just a countdown tool, nothing to get too excited over. I use it for vacations and graduation and since these things don't happen too frequently, I'd say it works just fine.
I use this just as a calendar widget: it has day, date and month in a clear font on a bright background. Only negative is it doesn't link to calendar.
I like that I can get events from my calendar and it will not count certain days like Saturdays and Sundays if you don't want it do. Great app. Thanks
I can have multiple and one just for todays date. I can label them. I can have them all different colors. Its perfect. Never any problems!
Love the widget. It reminds me of the 'days since' my last workout (because otherwise days become weeks). Could REALLY use a 'today' button to reset the date for users who use the 'Days Since' function, but this app hasn't been updated in 2 years.
Creates widgets to show days until some event no ads simple interface that works great tried a few and like the simplicity and lack of annoying ads of this one its great!
Good job .. make custom click to page to see my girl when I get to see her when I fly there ;-) and some random pop-up of her pic with a countdown
This is a really useful, easy to use and non intrusive widget. It even let's me do 'get up' count downs so doesn't include the weekend! Brilliant!
It's good! Simple elegant and won't take up much memory space. It would be better if it let us change the colour of the font, esp for the 4x1 widget
Perfect... I even use it remind me to change my contact lens every month... and I keep finding other uses for this simple but very useful tool.
Was perfect until last update. Still works just widgets are blocky now. Android 1.5
Does exactly what it says, plus its the only app (among the ones i tested) that let you skip days. i.e days until 11/Jun without counting Sundays. It would be perfect if you could skip specific dates or periods too. I.e. skip (not count) the 5th-9th of Nov
Compact, nice looking, does exactly what is needed and a little more, and has no ads draining the battery. In a word: Brilliant!
I wish you could exclude specific days. I want to count down only work days m-f but I don't want holidays or specific dates included in the count down. Otherwise it's a great app.
I love the countdown! There's only one reason I gave it a 4 rather than a 5 and that's because I would really like to be able to track by time too =)
This app is awesome! I've been using it for a while and It's proven to be very useful in keeping me on track with the important matters in my life.
Should be able to display in the same widget the number of days past as well as the number of days left. Should also provide a space in the app for any note or comment about the event. Doesn't do any of these.
Love it
Looks good. Works as advertised. Would be nice to be able to change fonts, text size but the default is plenty readable.
It would be perfect if I could choose the widget text colour. Now it's the app who decides if the text should be black or white.
Can you let date format be driven by Android locale or to let user choose? In USA, it would be nice to see date as yyyy/mm/dd or mm/dd/yyyy.
Like this app very useful for just about everything I forget...wish I could get an automated text sent for back up
Works great. Just need reminder atleast one day before countdown ends! And at end time. EVO
Love it! This widget looks gorgeous on my phone. The different sizes are great, and I was happy to find that I can run several counters at once.
It does exactly what I wanted and what it says it does. Looks great on my home screen. Cheers!
Awesome app. I've used it numerous time for all kind of reminders. Easy to set up. Highly recommended.
Love this app. I depend on a countdown to keep me hyped for vacations & important events. This one is perfect.

I rate this 5 stars but I put 1 star here just to catch your attention. I just installed it today. I dont't find thing I don't like. It is all I need. One request - it is very good if you can make the 2x2 widget bigger as I find more empty space with the current 2x2 widget on my screen so it doesn't look fit with other widget or shortcut. It looks lose. Thx.
