Countdown: Days & Event Timer
Count the days to what you are actually waiting for. Countdown keeps your next event on the Home Screen and shows exactly how many days, hours and minutes are left: a wedding, a trip, a birthday, a due date, an exam, the end of a deployment.

Reminders That Actually Arrive
A reminder is scheduled as a fixed instant, not as a time of day, so a flight across time zones or a daylight-saving change does not move it. iOS only holds 64 pending notifications per app, so this version keeps the nearest ones and rebuilds the list every time you open the app: the birthday next week no longer loses its place to an anniversary three years out.
Perfect For
Weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, trips, exams, due dates, retirement, product launches, Christmas, sobriety milestones and deployments.

What's new in 1.2.0
Reminders were competing for a limited slot. iOS only holds 64 pending notifications per app and, past that, extra ones are dropped with no warning — and which ones got dropped depended on the order the events happened to load, so a birthday next week could lose its reminder to an anniversary three years away. The app now plans them nearest-first and rebuilds the whole list every launch. The color wheel did nothing once you had paid for Pro: tapping it opened the paywall for free users and had no effect at all for subscribers. It now opens the real color picker. The Pro screen also listed widgets and repeating events as paid features. Both are free, and always were, so they are no longer sold as Pro.
