Countdown Software

[melb_angel19]

I'm after countdown software. I just want something simple which will countdown the days until an event. I have managed to find a few but unfortunately they didn't have a today screen option. I'd like it to be viewed on the Today screen.

Anyone know of anything that would be suitable?

Maybe something like:

would suit? I've got it running & it's stable & does what it says on the tin.

Thanks for your reply Tim. Unfortunately the link didn't work though. Can you cofirm it for me?

It works for me - suggest you go to:
http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com
On the left hand side there is a link to today plugins & you'll find the program in there.

Thanks Tim. The first link now works. Maybe the site was down when I tried yesterday.

That's a nice little program. Is there any way to customize it though? (change icon on the Today screen)

I doubt it - you get what you pay for :wink:

Pocket Breeze has a count-down days function. If you make an event category and assign it to the event, then set the Options to display that event, the Special Events screen displays your various events with a "In 21 days: Exhibit at Atlanta Convention Center" or whatever.

I'm a recent convert to Pocket Breeze and I'm hooked. For $12.95 it displays Appointments, Tasks and Special Events on the Today Screen. It's highly customizeable and is frequently updated with new features. You can tap an appointment and it takes you to the edit function.

Take a look and try it out for free. http://www.sbsh.net/products/pocketbreeze/

There is also T-Day Counter... (http://www.zimac.de/cestuff.htm)

T-Day Counter is good. On that same page, they have T- Day Counter Plus! but it says it's no longer available. Does anyone know is there's anywhere that I can get it?

I just didn't like how there's no way to customize the icon on the Today Screen. It's a plane, which is silly if you're counting down to something other than a holiday.

I'll live with T-Day Counter, but would prefer T-Day Counter Plus.

I was about to post the same question.

I bought T Day Counter Plus for X5. It worked well.

The Developer commented on Handango (http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?productType=2&optionId=1_2_2&jid=DDDF376X5C69BC584D123552B425F19D&platformId=2&siteId=1&productId=53726&sectionId=0&catalog=30&txtSearch=countdown) "Note: not yet updated for Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition for Pocket PC. "

I tracked down the developer's website (http://www.zimac.de/cestuff.htm) and saw :cry: a note, "DISCONTINUED PRODUCT, NO LONGER AVAILABLE. SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE".

Any other countdown plug in out there? Will pay for good app.

T-Day Counter is still available but I'd love T- Day Counter Plus!
I haven't been able to find any other apps unfortunately.
