Useless. It doesn’t use the timezone of your general settings in your website, so the timer is always off!

After installing the plugin I had the counter visible on the website within 2 minutes. The settings were very easy to modify!

Hey! Thanks for the update that you added in the latest version of the countdown. That was the html feature added on the text field. Hope you can add more styling in the free version of the countdown. Best regards.

Can’t even change the background color in free version. And the circles are not included in the free version. Misleading ad! 🙁
