If your app needs a similar element, then you’ll find this extension pretty helpful.
It is possible to create such a mechanism using only blocks by converting date and time into the countdown. But it is a tedious task and much more complicated than you’d think. To make the process easier, I have created this extension that anyone can integrate a real-time countdown timer in their apps with ease.
Unfortunately, the error after a 5 min countdown is already around -4 seconds compared to a chronometer. So the timer loses almost 1 second per minute. A little too much …
In my test with a countdown of 256 days, the error ends up being more than 92 hours or almost 4 days.

It is not a bug , but it’s the usual (well known) problems with the Clock component (AI2, Kodular etc.) and also with the countdownTimer in Java and its synchronicity, although the latter is much lower.

Let your extension (countdown) run against this one:
I’m going to create a new extension that counts down or up seconds (or ms), but also displays the duration / time in the date format (eg: HH:mm:ss).

The extension (in which I was supported by @Red_Panda with regard to some spe…

The first thing I noticed in your video is the temperature on the home screen. We are suffering from heat, but in your location its very cold. You are lucky.

This extension is pretty good but there is 2 bugs,
When you select Time between 12:01- 12:59 pm it shows countdown of 12 hrs less.
When current time is between 12:01-12:59 it doesn’t show real countdown.
You guys can check this in his demo app also.
I bought this extension from him but he is not accepting that there is a big in his extension. Please guys check it and reply, so that he accept that there is a bug in this extension.
You can also use this method to create a countdown
Hello Everyone
Today I will show you how you can create a secure countdown of any duration. For this tutorial, you need to have a Firebase account with a basic knowledge of how to setup Real time Database.
Note : This method does not belong to me. It belongs to Pixi Bomb . She has made a tutorial on YouTube regarding this topic. She used Fusion Table which is now deprecated so i replaced it with Google Firebase.

If you want to ask questions of my extension then you should post the question in my extension’s topic or Message me personally.
BTW a countdown for quiz can use the clock right?
