53 days to go 3.0.0
53 days to go is one such application and it aims to provide a simple and effective method of keeping up with the forthcoming events in your life.
Decent interface that concentrates on practical use
The clean and friendly GUI of this utility will help you focus on the tasks at hand instead of dizzying you with all sorts of flashy effects. The somber theme it comes with cannot be customized, so if you want to make it a bit more cheerful, this is not be possible, at this time at least.
Browsing the list of events and adding new entries is done in a simple manner because all the features are at hand and easily accessible, no matter the part of the application you are visiting.
Create and manage events with detailed information
Adding a new item to the main list can take a couple of seconds if you just want to be reminded about a simple calendar date, but you might spend a few minutes if you want to personalize that entry in detail.
53 days to go offers a good set of customization features, allowing you to specify besides number of days and color the type of the event (anniversary, birthday, yearly, monthly or weekly event, etc.) and even add relevant notes to individualize it from others that are potentially similar to it.
Create backups of the database and pin events as tiles for quick access
Pinning the newly created events to the Start screen will help you have the live tiles before your eyes at all times, so you can avoid missing those events.
There is also a backup feature you can use to save all the information you put in 53 days to go and restore it on the same handset or onto another one, thanks to the fact that all data will be sent to the cloud and stored in your OneDrive account.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The interface is very practical and has a decent look to it, but it could do with some customization features, so users can add their personal touch. |
Function8
The feature pack is quite solid and provides a good variety of possibilities to cover any types of events someone would come across on a regular basis. Nonetheless, scheduling the events with date and time would be a bit better than using the date alone, as it is currently done. |
Security10
53 days to go treats with special care the phone and user information by staying well away from it, as it doesn't ask nor need any kind of access permissions, so it passes with flying colors here. |
Battery9
While the live tiles are up and running, the app might take a bit more energy from the battery, but overall its power consumption remains pretty much low. |
Price10
Since it offers a lot of useful features without asking for a single cent in return and without flashing ad banners like many other apps, this utility is a really valuable one. |
Compatibility9
The extensive support for Windows Phone versions 7.5 and higher means this app will run on almost all the handsets powered by this OS. The main requirement it has refers to the screen resolution which has to be one of the common WXGA, WVGA or HD720P stand |
