  • Has worked for me

    Used this plugin on the wedding website for my brother to count down to the day of the wedding.Has worked perfectly and I could customize the editor block enough, to integrate it into the style of the page. One star deduction for the totally unnecessary prominent admin sidebar menu placement.Since that page is only with help links and no settings there, it could easily be under settings or elsewhere. But apart from that, thank you for this plugin.

  • On surface it looks good. The free version, although limited works well. T

    After purchase follow-up by Charles Cormier was excellent. everything working fine now! —————————- The free version works well. The issues start when you try and upgrade. The upgrade does not work unless you deactivate the free version. I can't get the free version to deactivate.

  • Not the best possible countdown plugin

    this countdown should have a little more info and customization with its free version, but I also saw no such things in the pro version. the info and customization I just mentioned are below: 1- putting more info beside the countdown would have been better. 2- Countdown boxes should have more options like putting them in horizontal or vertical order.
