Countdown 1.5.1.0
Easy to use and packing enough features to satisfy even the more demanding users, this tool offers a fun way of staying up to date with the passing of days, hours, minutes and seconds until some special event comes about.
Friendly and practical front-end
The colorful GUI of the application is made up mostly of the various countdowns you can add to the main screen. More so, these timers can be pinned to the phone's Start screen to give it a colorful look.
When you need to view the details of an individual countdown, simply tap it and it will open in full, allowing you to view the running timer in the middle of the screen, with the due date below and the notes you made on the upper part of the screen.
Add countdowns for important one-time or periodic events
Creating new countdowns and editing existing ones can actually be fun with this app, mainly because it offers a lot of customization possibilities. Thus, for each event you can specify the date and time when it is supposed to occur and assign any color you see fit.
For every event listed inside Countdown you can appoint a certain frequency, so it is possible to create daily, weekly, monthly and even annual events. What's more, there is an alarm feature awaiting to be put to good use, so for every countdown you will be able to set alerts that are triggered on the event's due time or at another time before it happens.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The interface looks pretty well, thanks to the nice assortment of colors available for anyone to use when creating the countdowns and to the beautiful live tiles that can be pinned to the Start menu. The prompts to rate the application appear once in a while and are a lot less intrusive than the nuisances displayed by many other similar apps. |
Function10
Insofar as the features are concerned and the way in which the app functions, things are pretty clear, as there is little more if anything one would ask from this utility. The ability to set alarms for each event, backup and restore the data to OneDrive as well as the numerous settings that allow users to configure in detail the app's running options earn Countdown top marks. |
Security8
The application needs to access several sensitive areas of the phone, but most of those are visited for good reason, as it can import calendar events and appointments, for example. |
Battery8
The power consumption remains within moderate limits when the app is being used, so the battery usage will be average, without unexpected peaks. |
Price10
For any user who needs to set one or more countdowns to certain events and be notified when it happens or some time before, this application is the one to have, as it offers a great deal of functions wrapped in a nice package, all for free. |
Compatibility9
Most Windows Phone users will be able to have this app up and running onto their handsets, provided that the devices are powered by version 7.5 or higher of the operating system and the screen resolution is at least 480 by 800 pixels. |
