This is a countdown widget for your home screen to remind you of the meaningful dates in your life.
It shows the number of weeks/days/hours/mins left to (or after from) a specified date. You can add several countdown widgets to your home screen and you can easily customize them at the creation or later by tapping on them. You can export and import widget datas too.
You must set a title and a date. You can choose event from Google Calendar (fills title and date). After these you can set optionally:
- set time
- set counter and title backcolor and forecolor
- choose an icon (from the available ~140 nice pictures)
- background transparency (0,80,100%)
- choose from six counting modes:
-- day (counts in days only, use event date only the time doesn't matter, default is 00:00)
-- hour (counts in hours only, use event date + event hour only)
-- automatic (defult in days only mode -> switch to hours only mode in the last day -> finally shows minutes only in the last hour, use event date + time too.)
-- D-H-M (counts in days, hours and mins all at once, but it only works with 3x1 widget size!)
-- week
-- W-D (counts in week and days)
- set a reminder and an invidual sound
- set repeating (in days only)

There are three widget size:
- 1x1 size shows ONLY the days, hours or mins by right of choosed counting mode.
- 2x1 and 3x1 size shows the same like 1x1 but has bigger fonts and picture.
- With 3x1 size you can choose D-H-M counting mode and it will shows days, hours and mins all at once.
You can resize the widgets if you have Android 4.1 version or above. When you resize its layout has change.

◄ HOW TO USE ►
This is ONLY A WIDGET not a main application! Widgets are little applications which can be placed on the homescreen or the lockscreen, of your Android device. Adding widget to your Home screen is easy:
1a. On your Home screen press the menu key and select Add or alternatively tap any blank/empty area and hold down your finger. In the popup menu choose Widgets.
1b. or Go to your All Apps and select the Widgets tab.
2. Find and select the Event Countdown Widget to add your screen.

◄ IMPORTANT! WHY DO NOT DOWNRATE! ►
- If you can't find it in the widget list you can try to reinstall and restart your phone too! Or: Some phones install apps to the Phone Storage (or SD card) instead of the Internal Storage. You have to move it to Internal Storage in the apps manager and the widget list will show it!
- If you use any task killer or mem cleaner app, it kills the counter!
- If the layout doesn't change when you resize OR YOU CAN'T RESIZE with android version 4.0 or below it's an Android fault. Only 4.1 or above version support widget resize!
- If you don't know what is widget and can't add it to your homescreen!! It's not a fault! Please see the examp video and read the How to Use description!
- If you have any other problems or ideas please send an E-mail instead of downrating!

User reviews
To the developer, Can you please add a months-weeks-days (e.g. 5m 3w 6d in a 1x1 or 3x1) option to the widget, and also the ability to have the title background transparent so that it displays as text only? Been using this widget for years through at least four phones. Hope you see this! :)

I recently downloaded the Event Countdown Widget app, and it's been a great tool for keeping track of important upcoming events. The app is simple and straightforward to use, making it easy to set up and customize countdowns for events like birthdays, vacations, or deadlines. One of the things I appreciate about this app is the variety of widgets available to choose from. Whether you want a simple countdown timer or a more elaborate widget with custom graphics, the app has you covered.

Good useful app with a lot of useless icons apparently generated by teenagers. 18 different Xmas icons including 5 for cookies, 7 different flowers, 4 StarWars icons, 3 Easter icons, 3 Thanksgiving icons, 2 flip-flops, a compass, a hard hat, a womens thong panty? And yet not one damn tooth for a dental appointment reminder. And not one chore or cleaning related icon such as laundry or dishes or vacuuming or lawn chores. Hahaha. Kids.
