Countdown Star for Negative User Reviews
✓ Missing featuresI really love the fact that you can customize the countdown so much. The ability to use any picture and move the countdown is awesome. This app is missing a couple key things though. First when selecting the date it would be helpful to have a calendar pop up to make it easier. Most importantly though the feature I wish this app had was an option to select multiple dates or have it repeat on certain days. I use this app to keep track of days till holidays/ birthdays which only come once a year but I’d also like to be able to keep track of when my next pay day is. If this app had those features it would be the best countdown app no contest!.Version: 2.7.3
✓ Great features but...So I have been using this app for less than a week and I have found at least 2 bugs in the app that are starting to bug me. First one, I have been trying to use my own photo as a wallpaper. Whenever I go on the app after not using it for a while, the photo I was using as a wallpaper is gone and replaced by a boring grey background. Second bug, I have a couple things that I want to count-up or countdown on that are based on other time zones. I keep trying to change the time zone, but it won’t let me change the time zone. If it weren’t for these bugs the app would get a 5/5, but these are too big of bugs for me to dismiss. Also, the app is by far one of the best designed app, minus the bugs, for countdowns/count-ups..Version: 2.6.2
✓ Screen not displaying correctlyI have an iPhone 12 and only 80% of the app is displayed on the phone screen, which means parts of how long to go days is not displayed on the right side of the screen. I am just going to look for another app. Don’t waste your time on this app..Version: 2.7.4
✓ Does what it says!Nice, simple app, minimal ad intrusion. Mild customising settings. Needs to fix minor updating error, where favourite event doesn't accurately update the countdown number on the button. UPDATE: So I seemed to have lost the button notifications altogether. Boo..Version: 2.6.8
✓ CountdownI’m disappointed with this app as I wanted to view the countdown as a wallpaper. If you want to send the image of your countdown days the only way you can do it by taking a screenshot, editing and then sending on. With the limited use I feel this should have been a free app and defiantly not worth the money ..Version: 2.7.4
✓ Not a fanI have ads running at the bottom. Gets annoying!!!.Version: 2.7.4
✓ Buggy WidgetThe iOS widget displays a past event that has been deleted from the app. General user-interface for the app is not exactly user-friendly but workable..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Pay for a widget? Forget itAll I want is the widget, and you have to pay for it. Ridiculous.Version: 2.7.4
✓ Not available with widgetIt was available before but since the ios update it’s not anymore.Version: 2.7.4
✓ Can’t see any benefit to this appI downloaded this to track my son’s due date. You can have multiple events, but there’s no home page for all your events. If I have 5, or say 15 events, I don’t want to have to swipe through them all. I want them all right there on the first page when I open the app. I’ll be happy to swipe after that. Also, the app won’t let you delete an old count down if you don’t have any other events. It wants you to edit the existing one. Ok no big. But why make me do this? Let me delete the old and create the new. Also, I’d like to see an option where I can upload my own picture for an event. That would make it worth it to swipe through every event I have in order to get to a specific one. At least then I can take joy in swiping through them..Version: 2.6.8
✓ Nice and fancy appThis app does not tell the truth about anything it tells you a day a head.Version: 2.7.4
✓ Has always been my fave countdown app, but...You can no longer add your own photos to the wallpaper. Please fix..Version: 2.7.0
✓ Disappointing Wallpaper FunctionGreat app! The free app was probably better because I didn’t expect much from it. However, diving in for a buck thinking it would be the key to get the wallpaper fully functional (as in an in-app purchase for more features); yet, still no wallpaper function and there is really nothing more than what the free version of this app gave... Disappointing. Other than that, great app with lots of potential! Moreover, there were complaints about the wallpaper app not working based on a review 1-2 years ago also... so don’t expect much from this app or else you’ll feel disappointed. I tried looking through my iPhone’s settings trying to get the wallpaper function to work... namely: getting the app to access your camera and photos. I went through all the usual places and more to tweak settings to get the app to add custom wallpaper... no success. The developer should get this fixed. If it was fixed and fixed right, this app would be worth than its current value (free-$1) and perhaps the developer could make a bit more off this creation... After all, 5 countdown apps in... this one is the best that I have found at this value! Hoping the next update resolves the on-going wallpaper issue..Version: 2.7.0
✓ Share to Social Media??Testing out the app, looks great except the lack of ability to share via Social Media apps (no Instagram or Snapchat to name a couple).Version: 2.6.8
✓ Generic stock photos only and no supportWhen I first downloaded app I could add and delete personal photos to and from wallpaper library. It suddenly stopped working. I click on add photo the option to take or upload from library appears but nothing happens when I click on it. Same when I try to delete my personal photos that were added initially. I have tried removing app and reinstalling but now I lost all personal photos from wallpaper library and still cannot add any photos. Tried emailing support twice with no response. Using personal wallpaper is what makes this app so special it not working and only having those generic stock photos make it not worth having. Just want to know how to fix this..Version: 2.7.0
✓ Doesn't sync to watchI got this specifically to have countdowns on my apple watch. The app looks lovely on iphone but refuses point blank to sync to my watch so it's pretty useless for what I wanted. Gave it 2 stars because as an iPhone app it's ok but its zero stars as a watch app..Version: 2.6.8
✓ Zero Apple Watch FunctionalityNo events show up in Apple Watch no matter how many times you try to reload.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Widget doesn't workThe app is really great, but I want the widget, and it's there, but doesn't work. It's been more than a year that it for work. Will try another app.Version: 2.7.4
✓ Unfortunately widget problemsYou can't select which countdown you want on the widget. I ended up deleting all but 1 countdown just so it would show up on the widget and now the widget incorrectly says there are 'no events'. So useless for my purposes. No support email address listed either. What a shame..Version: 2.7.4
✓ SeriouslyIt won’t let me save my events it keeps going back to my birthday which is the wrong date so I try to edit it but it won’t save it’s sooo frustrating it’s really annoying it’s meant to be a countdown app but you can’t even choose what date you want to count down!.Version: 2.7.4
✓ GoodThis app is really helpful sometimes especially when you are very exited and want to know how long exactly is really cool. I do recommend this app to anyone. But the only thing that they could do is set the app out better also sometimes the app will randomly kick me off!!.Version: 2.7.3
✓ Good but......From a selfish point of view and as I am on the rundown to retirement I would like the facility to countdown working days, disregarding weekends, public holidays and annual leave. I appreciate that every country has different public holidays and people have different leave entitlements so these would have to be manually input..Version: 2.6.5
✓ DéçuImpossible de tenir compte que des jours ouvrables, soustraire des jours de congés etc..Version: 2.7.4
✓ WallpaperWould like it to function/ countdown as my wallpaper.Version: 2.7.4
✓ Not badI liked the face it worked on iPad, iphone and iwatch, but couldn’t find the widget in the widget selection menu. Tried lots of things no luck. Also edit menu at the top of all timer screens doesn’t look good, maybe edit via app..Version: 2.7.4
✓ Won't keep photosThe format is ok. I keep assigning my own photos from my camera roll and each time I go into the app the photo is no longer there. It would also be good if you could have multiple timers in one screen so you done have to flip between the count down timers, but could see them all at once..Version: 2.6.2
✓ If it’s over 99 days it won’t show on widgetPlease fix this bug.Version: 2.7.4
✓ SharingWish you could connect others to your countdown for group events.Version: 2.7.4
✓ Widget feature does not workI downloaded this countdown app specifically for the widget functionality and even with three countdowns going the widget says I don’t have any countdowns. Feels like a waste of time..Version: 2.6.8
✓ étoileJ’ai moin aimer car il n’a pas l’es semaine😔 sinon vraiment amusante! ses juste l’es semaine qui manque je suis dessus sur ss point mais sinon super.Version: 2.7.4
✓ MehI would like there to be an option of counting down weeks.Version: 2.7.4
✓ No widgetUseless without one.Version: 2.7.4
✓ Missing the weeksLike it for free but would love if it offered a weekly count as well!!.Version: 2.7.4
✓ Date is wrongI've download this app and like it to others because it shows weeks as well. However only issue I have is that the countdown is wrong. It counts the week that you're in in the countdown. So technically it's off by a week. For eg today is 18 Nov 2022 and Christmas is in 5 weeks but on the app it says Christmas is in 4 weeks. Please fix this flaw!.Version: 2.7.4
✓ Paying for the ad free was a mistakeWhen my other countdown app wasn’t supported, this looked good. And is, sort of. I manually created all the new entries in the first downloaded app. Afterwards I saw there was an ad free for £.49 only, so I upgraded. But it didn’t upgrade the first free one, just put the new ad-free as different app. Different from other upgrade app experiences. So I’m deleting the paid for app and will live with the ads as it’s too much hassle to Re enter them for the amount I use the app. They got my pence anyway..Version: 2.7.4
✓ It’s ok but not entirely accurateThis countdown clock sometimes returns to the previous date instead of counting down after midnight. For example, say you have 9 months 7 days until an event. After midnight it should say 9 months 6 days etc. Towards the end of some month it may return to the 9 months 7 days for a couple days until the month changes and then continue counting down again. Obviously, some months have more days than others. Perhaps this is an issue with this app..Version: 2.7.4
✓ Missed a release thanks to the time being offI wanted to make sure I didn’t miss a final release of limited edition clothing, however after making sure everything was set correctly it’s somehow over 3 hours behind where it should have been so I missed it. I’m gutted. Would not recommend..Version: 2.7.4
✓ SucksHate it keeps glitching.Version: 2.7.0
✓ OkayI wish I could make the countdown active as my wallpaper..Version: 2.6.8
✓ MehThis app is fine it needs more backgrounds and the other stuff is going well.😑😑😑.Version: 2.7.4
✓ Don’t know want to call this.I only have on problem with this app is that you can’t delete an event without putting another one in. That’s all I have to say the rest of the app is great and easy to use..Version: 2.6.3
✓ Manque la fonction pour mettre en page d accueilC est bien mais ont ne peut pas l utiliser comme écran d’ accueil je cherche une application qui me permet d avoir le compte à rebours d avant chasse en écran d’ accueil sur mon cell..Version: 2.7.4
✓ Won’t let me pick my own imagesI’ve been using this app for well over a year now. It has been great for my long-distance relationship by allowing me to countdown down the days until I see my partner. But, recently the app has stopped allowing me to access my camera or camera roll, so I cannot pick my own backgrounds for whatever event I am counting down to. It’s very annoying because this app has otherwise been totally fine to use. One critique I have as well is that it would be nice if the app would notify on my home screen how many days/hours I have left until an event is complete. But, it’s not that big of a deal to pull up the app to view it..Version: 2.7.0
✓ No slide showDoesn’t let you swipe between the countdowns, have to go back to the menu and choose which one every time. Would be far better if could just swipe to the next..Version: 2.7.4
✓ Can’t change time zoneCouldn’t change the time zone so it was not accurate.Version: 2.7.4
✓ This app doesn’t workYou have to choose a lee elevated event with ore elevated wall paper. I tired selecting myself own wall Paper to start but it just chose something entirely different to what it was originally and what I had chosen. And when I click on edit all I can do is delete pre selected timers until it’s down to one then it says it says you need at least one edit instead of delete. except you can’t iOS 13.Version: 2.7.0
✓ DecentThis app is decent it does what it says it does and I’ve used it for a few events I only don’t like that it counts back up after the event is done.Version: 2.6.8
✓ Not loving this update.The interface went from elegant and clean to bunchy and busy. Make "weeks" an option instead of a default, please, and make the app beautiful again. UPDATE: emailed developer in April and he said the "weeks" would become optional soon, on an updated release. Four months later and only 100 days to my goal, still no change. UPDATE: Sorry, Joe. I’m glad the weeks are gone but now the icon badge is gone, too. This was sad as I LOVED looking at my phone and telling everyone how many days were left. Fix this before my event in December and I’ll upgrade. I know it’s not a lot of money but it’s all the leverage I have here..Version: 2.6.2
✓ Bad wallpaper optionsVery little wallpaper options and if you used one from the internet it stretched it and made it blurry. Deleting app and downloading another.Version: 2.6.2
