Avoid. App is confusing, lacks overall utility.

This app went free and now I know why: It only works if you want to count UP from a particular date, not DOWN. I confirmed this shortcoming by creating an event, choosing the date and time, and then opting for the Count Down option. Once you click Create," however, the date previously entered disappears and its replaced with a red exclamation point.

As humans tend to count DOWN to a particular event--that is, only X number of days until that event--this app does little more than track how far in the past an event occurred. I guess that makes sense if, say, you want to know how much time elapsed since you last saw your doctor, but I suspect most want to see at a glance the date of significance (e.g., anniversary) and how many days (hours, minutes, seconds) until the anniversary of that event.

The app is further complicated by the ambiguous "CountUp" and "CountDown" buttons that toggle between green and black. Does green mean its been selected or does black? I assumed green meant its been selected but that doesnt jive with the notification selection. Green under "CountUp" changes the notification selection to a "CountDown" format--that is, x number of hours, minutes, seconds until that event. But even if it worked correctly--which it doesnt--one can only choose to be notified up to one day in advance. How about more days, a week, or a month in advance to make it more useful under more varying conditions?

With all of this said, the developers have created a useful app in theory that is rendered a colossal failure in actual use.
