Need help or have a suggestion? Email us at birak200@gmail.com. We usually reply within two business days. Please include your iPhone model, the iOS version and the app version (Settings > About in the App).
Tap the add button, enter a name, pick the date and a category, and optionally add a cover photo and reminders. Your countdown appears in your list right away.
When creating or editing an event, choose a photo from your library and crop it in the App. The photo is used only as that event's cover.
Choose a reminder when you create or edit an event. Reminders are local notifications on your device, so allow notifications when iOS asks. If you turned them off, re-enable them in iOS Settings › Notifications.
Touch and hold an empty spot on your Home Screen, tap the plus button, search for Shared Countdown, choose a widget style and tap Add Widget. To pick a different event or style, touch and hold the widget and choose Edit Widget. If a widget looks out of date, open the App once; iOS refreshes widgets on its own schedule.
No. You can use the App on your own without an account, and your events stay on your device. An account (Sign in with Apple) is only needed if you want to pair with another person and share events.
Sign in with Apple in the App, create an invite code and send it to the other person. They enter the code in their App to connect. You can share events with one person at a time, and you can both edit shared events.
Only events you choose to share with your partner. Events set to Only me are private and are never uploaded. Shared events, including their cover photos, are stored on our servers (Google Firebase) so both of you can see them. See the Privacy Policy.
Each person keeps a private copy of the shared events on their own device. Nothing is deleted from either device when you disconnect.
Open Settings › Delete account. This removes your account and the data we store on our servers. Events stored on your device are removed when you delete them or delete the App.
Premium unlocks the App's premium features. It is an auto-renewing yearly subscription with a 7-day free trial where you are eligible, purchased through Apple. You can manage or cancel it at any time in your Apple Account settings: open Settings on your device, tap your name, then Subscriptions. Cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period to avoid renewal.
Yes. While you are paired, your subscription also unlocks Premium for your partner. Billing is only for the person who purchased. If you disconnect or your subscription ends, your partner's Premium from your subscription ends.
Open Settings in the App and tap Restore purchases while signed in with the same Apple Account.
