Developer’s Description

By Grau Software

Add a stopwatch/countdown utility to your desktop.

CountDown has 4 different individual timers that counts the time down for your specified task, then displays a message and sounds an alarm (WAV file). Included is a CountDown timer (can also run like a stop-watch), a CountUp timer (can also run like a stop-watch), Date CountDown which counts down up to 10 different dates and a Full Screen CountDown, which runs like a screensaver for timing classroom or sporting events. Also included are many background skins and an "Always On Top" feature. New features include running multiple timers at the same time and individual notepads for each timer.

Does its job well - but it should be free.
ev92April 18, 2010
Pros
Quick simple program that works as advertised (at least for the functions I tired.)
Cons
GUI could be easier to use and more in keeping with Windows standards. Such a simple program should be free these days.
Summary
Not worth the cash.

Pros
Umm, it works as advertised.
Cons
Looks horrible. Limited amount of dates. Cost $9 (free 21 day trial).
Summary
Would be good as freeware, but not worth $9, or any amount for that matter.
Horrible interface, eye-sore.

Pros
It does what it's supposed to do, but that's really about it.
Cons
Horrible, horrible interface. Unpleasant to look at. Kind of difficult to figure out how to use certain applications on it.
Summary
This application reeks of Windows 95. In fact, it makes Windows 95 look good. The entire application suite looks like a website designed with AOL's software from 1994. It works. It does everything it advertises, but it's just too horrible to even look at. Not a lot of useful features, and not very user-friendly. On the plus side, it only takes about 2 seconds to un-install.
Almost Useless

Pros
It can count well.
Cons
Not very practical, countdown box is huge so the "Always on top" option isn't too useful Limited options NOT WORTH PAYING FOR

Pros
This countdown clock is so cool and easy to use. The default alarm is a siren followed by woman's voice that says "Time is up !! " <p> <p>Unfortunately the woman's voice reminds me of my ex-wife, but I have the option of several different alarms to choose from. It's really a neat clock !!

Pros
Cons
The GUI is horrible. There are no useful options. The output is ugly and glitch filled.<p>I guarantee those positive reviews are from the publishers. <p>If I could give it zero stars, I would.
