Re: a better countdown app??
 

Also aClock works well under GVM. I really like the large, simulated green LED digital display. It cost $10 for the full version but is quick to set. Has count up, count down with alarm. Also has a log that lets you tap the screen and send the current time to a notepad file. It's actually a suite of time related apps with US times, world times and a bunch of other stuff. If anyone wants more info let me know.
