Count down to a special event

Features & Capabilities

Use the app to share your countdown timer in iMessage. This way you can count down to an upcoming event with your friends and family.

Most countdown apps are too complex for a simple task like this. We want to keep it simple. It's as simple as sending a normal message.

It's the most fun way to count down to a specific date. Getting married? Going on holiday? Special sport event coming up? Download the app and send your first countdown message!

The live message shows the days, hours, minutes and seconds left until the event. You can enter a specific date and time to count down to.

User Reviews

Users repeatedly praise how easy it is to buy and create a countdown and share it, but the core feature is unusable for most recipients. The countdown only appears to the purchaser; others must buy to view, effectively making it a pay-per-view link rather than a shared countdown. This leads to perceptions of bait-and-switch and scams, with many calling for refunds or removal from the App Store. Some report recurring charges and difficulty canceling. Overall value is very low despite simple setup.

Pros

Easy to purchase and set up a countdown.
Creating a countdown is straightforward.
Sharing countdown via iMessage is quick and simple.

Cons

Recipients must purchase the app to view the countdown; pay-per-view model makes it feel like a scam.
Shared messages only include a link; recipients cannot actually see the countdown without buying.
Perceived bait-and-switch / misleading description; calls for removal from the App Store.
Recurring charges and difficulty canceling; ongoing costs for users.
In some cases, the countdown does not deliver or messages fail to deliver to recipients.

The app would be great if the person I sent the countdown to saw the actual countdown - but no - they have to pay for the app too in order to actual see what you see when you send it to them.

Purchase app…easy. Create countdown…easy. Share countdown via imessage…easy. But wait a minute, the actual iMessage that the recipients see is an add to download the app for a dollar to view the countdown that you created. Basically you pay a dollar to create an AOL Instant Message era virus scamming people out of dollar. This is a trash app and should be pulled from the app store as it is a scam.

Worst dollar I’ve ever spent. Can’t actually share a CountDown in iMessage. Shares a link to everybody who sent it to for them to buy the app too. I should’ve read the reviews first. Extremely shady business practice. Should be removed from the App Store immediately.
