Review
As its name suggests, this no-frills clock utility simply counts down time, but don't expect to find extensive features. It's fairly easy to add and edit multiple events with Countdown Clock's overly simple, diminutive interface. When you've input the event description and its exact time, the timer displays the years, days, hours, minutes, and seconds until the event occurs. Unfortunately, this 30-day trial version is sorely lacking an alarm feature, which would certainly bring purpose to this clock utility. Instead, you're treated to a "This Event Has Occurred" message. During our testing, we sent the program to the system tray after setting up an event. Oddly, it did not notify us when the event transpired. Countdown Clock is easy enough for anyone to use, but there are other options on the market with more abundant and flexible features.
