Questions and help
The app is built and supported by one person, who answers their own email. Write to [email protected] and you will get a real reply.
How do I add a widget?
Touch and hold an empty area of your Home Screen, tap Edit, then Add Widget. Find Make It Count and choose a style and size. iOS does not let apps add widgets by themselves, so this has to be done by hand — the app shows the same steps under Settings → Add a widget.
Where does the average lifespan come from?
Life expectancy at birth for 2024 from the UN World Population Prospects, published by the World Bank (World Development Indicators). It is an average for a whole population, not a prediction for you and not medical advice.
How do I change my country, birthday or language?
Open the app, tap the gear button in the bottom-right corner and edit anything in Settings. Widgets update immediately.
Is there a subscription?
No. Make It Count is a one-time purchase on the App Store. There are no in-app purchases, no ads and no subscriptions. If you change iPhone, download it again from the App Store at no extra cost with the same Apple Account.
Does it need an account or the internet?
No. There is no sign-in and the app makes no network requests. Your details stay on your device.
Why didn’t I get a birthday greeting?
The greeting is a local notification at 9:00 on your birthday. Check that notifications for Make It Count are allowed in iOS Settings → Notifications and that “Birthday greeting” is on in the app’s Settings.
