The App
I recently created an Events Countdown app for iOS.
Basically, user can create event like Birthday, Anniversary, ... and the app will show a countdown time until or since the event.
User can also add reminder days, weeks, months before or after the event.
Here is a demo video.
It's not shown in the video but the user can choose different display mode like: List, Grid or Carousel and sizes,...
It's free to use. You can create unlimited number of events, reminders, you can switch between dark/light theme... All the core features of an Event Countdown apps are free. But there are interstitial ads after the user created an event once in a while. (using facebook audience network and google admob).
Some premium features like layouts, online gallery, cloud syncing,... are unlocked through a subscription monthly or yearly.
Dev
About 9 months ago, I shared with you my tips when getting started with React Native along with my architecture typescript-react-native-starter that help you start quickly. And I learned a lot from you in the comments. This project is created with it!
I also tried to contribute some open-source components like:
-
react-native-easy-icon: wrapper component of react-native-vector-icons to use icon easily
import Icon from 'react-native-easy-icon'; <Icon type="feather" name="award" color="coral" size={21}/> react-native-unsplash: The online gallery feature that you see from the video use directly this component. It's basically a photos browser using the unsplash api.
react-native-store-rate: I'm still testing this so I don't recommend you to use
All of my components above are written in typescript so it's kinda self-documented, I didn't have the time to update the documentation so PRs are welcome :).
The app is available on iOS only since I don't have an android device to test it on android and I don't want to publish an emulator-tested-only app.
You can test it here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/timecount-day-counter/id1497946231
I would love to hear feedbacks from developers. Thank you!

Hey,
I cannot select time or date. App is used on iPhone 11 Pro. It happens on light mode.
:Update: You can actually select the date, but the color of the fonts are white so they are not visible :)
Hi, thank you for your feedback.
This is a known bug due to your dark mode being enabled which makes the date time picker's text color being white.
It should be fixed in the next release.
Thanks!
Can you share learning resources you used to study react-native or you suggest? :) your app is really cool!
Thanks!
I mainly learned from the official documentation of React Native & then through projects. When I don't know how to do something in React Native I just search on Google. The key is I tried to really understand HOW it works & force myself to do things that I don't know.
In the Notes section of typescript-react-native-starter, I also give some use tips when dev & deploy with React Native.
