Days To Go 0.5.0.0

A simple Windows Phone app that counts the days until events that are important to you occur
Numerous users like to keep tabs on the upcoming holidays, birthdays of their friends and family members, as well as on all sorts of events that they want to attend. For Windows Phone users there are a few utilities one can try and Days To Go is one of them.

Tailored particularly for counting days to and from any event you might want to follow, this application does its job in a simple (and colorful) manner.

Friendly and easy to use front-end

This app has a fairly simple GUI that offers an overview of the events listed inside, but the visuals are not too appealing, despite the varied choice in colors provided when adding new entries. The layout is, nonetheless, very well organized and offers a chronological perspective of the passed and upcoming events.

The details area contains a large tile inside which the information for that specific event are displayed on a solid color background. Moving through the list of items that is shown in the main screen is smooth and without any delays or other glitches.

Create events, edit and pin them on the go

Days To Go comes with three items added by default and you can use them as examples to make new entries of your own. Each event can be customized to display the number of days that are left until it comes to happen. Alternatively, you can easily have the days count from the time that event passed.

Besides the event name and date customizations you have the possibility to choose the tile color that you feel is best appropriate. The selection in this respect is somewhat limited because there are only 10 colors you can pick from.

To have all the events close at hand, Days To Go enables you to pin each entry from the database to the Start screen of your phone.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
 

The app has a decent look, well organized, but without elements of graphical design that would make it visually appealing.

Function7
 

Adding and editing events is a fairly simple task and the entries are automatically arranged in chronological order in the main screen. The app doesn't offer the possibility of adding specific notes or sharing the events.

Security9
 

The application is fairly discreet and keeps well off the sensitive areas of the system, but it still requires access to look into the music library.

Battery9
 

The power consumption of this utility is minimal and the battery usage remains at very low levels throughout the app's runtime.

Price8
 

Since all the features are offered free of cost, Days To Go is a pretty good deal, but there are some improvements that have to be made in order to increase the utility's overall value.

Compatibility8
 

The application is well suited for the more recent handsets that are powered by Windows Phone 8 and above.
