## Description

## Review summary

User reviews praise the widget, simple UI, iCloud syncing, and affordable, non-intrusive pricing. However, major recurring issues include poor maintenance and support, unreliable widgets, no dark mode, gated features with limited date ranges, and date-edit/purchase-restore bugs.

### Pros

- Widget support provides a quick, on-home-screen countdown view that many users rely on.
- Clean, simple, intuitive user interface.
- iCloud sync across devices helps keep events in sync.
- Reasonable price with a non-intrusive unlock and no nagging ads.
- Good basic app for tracking multiple events with a simple interface and useful widget.

### Cons

- Widgets broken or removed and developer appears unresponsive.
- App not updated for years; appears abandonware and some purchases/unlock issues.
- Lack of dark mode in app and widget; requests for update.
- Date-range restrictions: free version only covers near dates; unlimited range requires payment.
- Date editing issues and purchase/restore problems (dates won’t change; restore purchase broken).
