TimeCount, from App Forgeron, is one of the few countdown apps with matching iPhone and Android versions. The free mode lets you create as many countdowns as you like for vacations, birthdays, weddings or retirement, and shows them as full-screen photos you swipe through. Home Screen widgets put the next event in view, events can repeat yearly, monthly, weekly or daily, and reminders tell you how much time remains. The Android listing adds detail: multiple reminders before or after events, custom notes, favorites pinned to the top and a choice of units from years down to minutes. Premium adds grid and carousel layouts, custom alert messages, larger event sizes and an online photo gallery. The US App Store lists Premium at $3.99 a month, $13.99 or $19.99 a year, and $34.99 or $44.99 forever, which is more than most rivals here charge for similar extras. It has 4.6 stars from about 25,000 ratings.
