Days Matter – Event Countdown

Hi
I’ve created an event countdown, weather and webcam – app and widget. You can use it to count down to your holidays, birthdays, sports events and any other event you can think of.
Add homescreen widgets to your favourite events. Include the location to show live weather information on the countdown widget, also add webcam images for live views of event location
Watch as your event is counted down in days, hours, minutes, and seconds, and receive an alert when the event happens.
Add background photos from your gallery, so you get a slideshow of background images, or use a photo taken with your camera, you can also add your favourite webcam of the location, to see exactly what conditions are like at that time.
Please take a look at
