A very simple Countdown Timer to Episode IX. This WAS originally for Episode VII. Since that's out now, as well as the second film in the series, the counter is now counting down to the next film.
Widget for days only, included.
12/20/2017: Updated release date for Episode IX. We will keep an eye on this date. If it changes (as has happened in the past), we will get this app updated as soon as possible.
We also made some additions to the backdrop graphic. There are now a collection of images that randomly change whenever the app is launched.
When I say "simple", I mean just that. It is just a countdown timer. There are no other unnecessary options or other things to bloat the program. The upshot is that even with a widget included, the entire app is under 4MB.
I've seen the reviews for other programs that complain about this sort of thing. So please know ahead of time. This is intentionally a very small, simple program.
The widget is 1x1, to take the minimal space on your desktop. It only counts the remaining days. To count more often than that would be a terrible drain on the battery. The idea here is, you can run the widget for a summary, and tap on it to get the full countdown.
NEW: Additional 3x2 widget that shows the full time. It still doesn't update any more often than the 1x1. So it's not accurate to the second. Still a nice addition.
This is designed for phones first. So it looks great on any phone. It will run on any tablet as well. There will just be an awful lot of empty space, as you can see by the screen grabs.
