To Sync Countdown:
-Purchase the sync upgrade on both devices (Youll only be charged once.)
-Start Countdown on both devices.
-On both devices touch the Settings button at the bottom of the Categories list.
-Make sure that the Sync Group is the same on both devices (watch out for white space :)
-On both devices touch the Synchronize row button.
-In the Synchronize screen, when a device becomes available touch it to begin syncing. (Generally you only need to touch the device row on one of the devices. Touching both will start two synchronization actions.)

At this point the device row should move to the connecting state.
After some waiting there, the device will move to a transferring state and a blue progress bar will signal when the process is over.
From inside the Synchronization view you could conduct syncs with multiple devices.

When youre finished, press the done button at the top right.

Pros and cons of Countdown app for iPhone and iPad

Countdown app good for

Good app, decent options. If u want a Countdown this is what u want.

The only defect I noticed is that the Countdown is refreshed only every 3 seconds.

nice little app, helps to see you who long it still will take untill.... A bigger choice of icons would be nice

Getting married in October and mow I can see how long it will be until my wedding day!

I love this aplication but Id love it more if we could post a Countdown to Twitter and/or Facebook. Right now if I want to do that I go into mail copy then post it which leaves a bit of inacurasy

This App is tons of fun! The kids love checking it to see how long is left on whatever theyve saved in it From sleepovers to vacations, they track everything!

Some bad moments

Why call it a Countdown app when it doesnt even count down properly. My Countdowns were 1-2 days off. Dont waste your money!

*- The notify feature does not work. *- No biweekly repeat *- No x number of days repeat -- No way to sort events even on date Now I have to manually put them in order. Events on the same day can show 2 different remaining days.

Its ugly, first off, and along with that, it fails to keep time what so ever. After a day of work I checked to see how many days till Im off to Hawaii, and it had only advanced in time by one hour. Waste of time to download.

This app does everything it claims to do, but man the interface here is really awful. Please hire a designer.

There have been no updates. Crashes all the time. Once was a good app, not anymore.

Great app but I think its been abandoned by the Dev. It still works on ios9 but if you try to edit anything that youve created, it crashes :(
