1. However the latest update (Nov 18) has completely broken it, so not so great anymore... Any time I try to create a new Event I am left with a blank Widget which just says "loading"Lovely widgets really helps having a quick glance count down on screen haven't had any problem with this countdown app I can see myself getting the paid version as I find this a handy remind app.. really appreciate having free version just to try out and now keen to support with the pro versionReally love it, let's you go both directions with dates.
2. Whether you want a simple countdown timer or a more elaborate widget with custom graphics, the app has you covered.I have used this app for YEARS! I love the fact that I can customize the color and font color of both the body and the header.
3. Not actually very useful for a countdown if you have to remember to update if manually any time you look at it.Been using this app for years and always loved it, worked flawlessly.
4. Very disappointed.I recently downloaded the Event Countdown Widget app, and it's been a great tool for keeping track of important upcoming events.
5. This has a "how to" section and steps in order to use it.Attractive widgets, but doesn't update time regularly and there is no monthly repeat option, I would buy the pro version if it had monthly repeat.
6. Have to open the app by tapping on the widget to update the countdown.This is highly unlikely...Please fix the problem..Could not figure the app out so I deleted it.
7. My personal favorite icon is the clownfish 💕 Thank you Event Countdown!!I have been using this App for years and have always loved it.
8. upgraded phone to Galaxy s9 now it crashes all the time, have gotten some to work others as soon as I start typing widget closes.
9. I have to tap on the widget to open the app and tap the checkmark at the top for it update the count.
10. Once they're set they keep displaying the same amount of days left unless you click the widget to open the program and close out of it again.
11. The app is simple and straightforward to use, making it easy to set up and customize countdowns for events like birthdays, vacations, or deadlines.
