We use the the timer function across all of our shopify brands, works well, is agile for flash sale promotions and festive shipping countdown functions. I will add, we have always had fantastic support from their team, almost instant response to any issue raised. Exactly how App Dev teams should be, and well worth the 29.99 per month!

Best countdown app for bar timer, it loads fast, not like other apps where it pushes the page down, and it loads after the webpage loads. It seems like the bar timer loads instantly with no delay, like it's part of the theme, it cost money and now i see why because it's better than most, if not all, timer apps. I've tried a handful before using this one.

This app is very easy to use. The free version does includes all the basic necessities for a great countdown timer. If you want more customization, there are other plans for a paid upgrade, however, I don't think you'd generally need them. Overall a great, simple to use app for any Shopify store owner looking to add a countdown timer to their store.
