User reviews

Users appreciate Day Counter for its simplicity and effectiveness in tracking elapsed days for events. However, multiple reviews express dissatisfaction with recent updates that have deleted data, removed customization options, introduced mandatory and unreliable login, and degraded core functionalities like reordering and sorting counters. The inability to hide past events and lack of syncing features also frustrate users. Many long-time users are disappointed by these changes and hope for fixes or a return to some of the old functionalities.

Pros

Simple and straightforward to keep track of elapsed time or day counters.
Useful for tracking important dates and events, especially for school or work.
Clean and effective design with necessary options for basic tracking.
Has been reliable and well-liked by users for years before the recent updates.
Helpful to users with ADHD or people needing time management assistance.

Cons

Recent update deleted existing counters without warning and caused data loss.
New version requires login which repeatedly fails and causes user frustration.
Lack of ability to reorder counters properly or sort them by date (e.g., closest to farthest).
No option to hide past events, forcing users to delete them manually.
Color and background customization options were removed or moved behind paywall.
Extension sometimes resets settings after closing browser, causing inconvenience.
Missing synchronization across devices and lack of Android companion app.

in the old version its impossible to rearrange them how you want and when i upgraded to the new version it randomly deleted more than half of my counters + the new version has less functions? unless you pay i guess but there is no guarantee it wont delete your data

Ordering counters doesn't work in the new version or the old one now. It only saves the re-order if you swap the position of adjacent counters. Not able to filter on future/past counters is sadly missing too. Not an upgrade.

there's no option to not see my past events in the new update, will be switching to a different application. I had to manually delete like 50 old events when mine got updated just for it to go back to normal. Also there is no feature to automatically organize my events based on date (e.g. closest to farthest). In addition to all of this I can't access the legacy version using the same methods the developer described.
