User Reviews

Users praise the app for its simplicity and ability to count up or down for various events, and many have used it for years with ongoing updates. However, repeated complaints center on unreliable widgets, intrusive ads and confusing pricing, bugs after updates, and photo widget glitches with camera-roll images. Overall, the tool remains valued for straightforward time-tracking, but widget reliability, ad burden, and update-related issues drive the most frustration.

Pros

Simple and easy-to-use interface.
Versatile timer that supports both countdowns and countups for many kinds of events.
Long-term usability with ongoing updates and support from the developer.
Free to use (ad-supported) with an option to remove ads via a one-time payment.
Useful for tracking time and planning (birthdays, holidays, sobriety, trips, etc.).

Cons

Widget reliability problems: not updating, loading issues, or failing to show the selected event.
Ads-heavy experience and monetization concerns (banner ads, ad unlocks, and free-trial framing).
Bugs and freezes introduced by updates (recent updates can freeze or ruin functionality).
Photo widget integration issues when using camera roll images (glitches or blank displays).
Inconsistent performance across updates and devices (glitches and reliability concerns persist).

Recent reviews

The new grid view is a very nice enhancement.

I am very fussy about countdown apps, and this one met all of my requirements. However, when a count up timer reaches 365 days, it just keeps counting days. Please i,probe the app by showing years! Please!
