Got lots of countdowns and need a way to organise them? This is the update for you!

Another big update, introducing one of your most requested features - Time Units! Countdowns can now show years and weeks, as well as advanced options such as Only Days and Only Seconds. Premium users can even set Time Units separately for each countdown. This is a huge new feature, so please let me know if you find any issues at
[email protected].
If that wasn't enough, this also includes the second most requested feature - more icons! I added so many that I lost track, but it's over 50 at least!
Finally, this update also includes a bunch of smaller additions, such as choosing colour by hex code, as well as an updated Help section. Have fun! :)
