Quite an interesting recreation for sure. :) I like how the user agreement was recreated as faithfully as possible, and I think it's pretty cool how every time you reset the app, the date is always randomized. What I really don't get, however, are the random sound effects throughout the app (except for the sound when the countdown starts as well as the "violation of terms of service" alert), the app controlling the flashlight so early on (it should be when the countdown is nearing its end for better effect), and the highly unusual placement of a play button which really doesn't have a purpose as it just crashes the app. Recommendations: Delete the unnecessary random sound effects, fix the flashlight manipulation, and please explain what the play button was originally intended to do or just remove it completely. And possibly see if you can make a version that has no ads on it please.

I downloaded when the movie first came out and it said I have 3 years to live. I keep it to see what happened when the timer reached 0, but they added 29 more years toward the end. It has ads and control your flashlight now. To fight this, disable wifi and data usage for this app in your phone settings. Uninstall it if you have no idea. It's just a bloatware

Downloaded the app. No noise, just a constant vibrating from my phone like a heartbeat even with the app closed. Tried to turn off the vibration but the app has no settings. It is set up just like the movie. Told me I have 45 yrs, 273 days, 6 hours and seconds to go. Uninstalled the app and then tried to re-install. Went to the app store and instead of being able to install it as new. It showed up as an already dormant app. Clicked it and my time picked up where it left off. Creepy!
