Singapore – Independent developer, Paul Ong today is pleased to announce the release of Look Forward 1.2, an important update to his popular event tracking countdown app for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Using Look Forward, anyone can enter information about important events in their life, and will then be updated daily as they anticipate the arrival of the big day. Users can also view what events other Look Forward people are counting down to as they await the arrival of their own event. Create an event, optionally share it with others, add a background that fits the theme, create a personal note, and start the countdown. Track events as they draw near with the help of the handy Look Forward Today widget for your iOS device’s Notification Center.

“Look Forward helps track the dates and events that mean the most to people,” says developer Paul Ong. “Anyone who can’t wait for the big day to come – as they count the number of remaining days until a special holiday, anniversary, wedding, or even the release date for a new mobile device or video game – can now use Look Forward to track and receive updates on upcoming events while they countdown to the big day.”

Features:
* Track Everything: Create an event, decide whether to share it with others, add a background, create a personal note, and start the countdown
* Get Notified: See all of today’s countdowns via the built-in Today Screen widget
* Track What’s Trending: Discover popular trending countdowns like movie premiers or an upcoming sports event
* Get Informed: Build anticipation for an upcoming event by keeping up with the latest news and links on the web
* Share It: Share upcoming events with family and friends. Or, take it a step further by sharing it with the whole world
* Sync the Dates: Sync upcoming events with popular calendar apps
* Access It: View Look Forward countdowns anywhere, on any device, using the look Forward website

Look Forward is handy even when users don’t have any of their own personal events to track. Anyone can view what’s trending with other members, and view & track the events that others are anticipating. Popular trending countdowns include movie premiers, sporting events, and electronic device release dates. While viewing what everyone around them is anticipating, users can easily add those events to their own list, in order to receive updates on the events as the date draws closer.
