Since back in 2010 I have searched for an app that I could use to record expiration dates for my license, passport, registrations, subscriptions, etc. I sort of found it in an app called Expiry Date Manager. The interface was sloppy and the icon looked terrible. But it had the most important of all features for this kind of app, that often takes more than an hour to load all the information gathered from multiple sources. Backup & restore. I was a little worried when I discovered that instead of using Skydrive or Dropbox for backup, the developer chose to use Microsoft Azure. But he assured me that my data would be safe and stable. Until he decided to stop supporting the app that is. Expiry Date Manager (not available in Marketplace for a long time) is still installed on my L900, but the backup feature stopped working nearly a year ago. Since then I have tirelessly continued to search for a replacement.
Let me introduce you to, “53 days to go”, a tool that perfectly meets my vision of a countdown/expiration app. 53 allows you to enter events with due/expiration dates for a variety of activities; birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, vacations (with start/end dates), sporting events, yearly, monthly or weekly events/renewals, periodical events, anything. They are sorted on a list by “days till event”. For example, my Florida Drivers license expires in 2068 days, but my Microsoft Dev registration renews in 244 days.
