Common questions

Where do the dates come from?

BankHol uses the official GOV.UK bank holidays feed, including substitute days when holidays fall on weekends.

Why do dates differ between nations?

England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have different bank holiday calendars. Pick the nation you need at the top of the app.

Does the countdown handle “today” correctly?

Yes. If a holiday is today, the timer switches from days to hours/minutes left until the end of the day.

Does the app collect any data?

No. There are no accounts, analytics, or tracking. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Troubleshooting

Requirements

iPhone running iOS 13.4 or later.
