Day 15 Illustration Not Showing Up?

UPDATE: Upgrading to version 1.1.2 should fix this issue. Be sure to upgrade by Jan 20… there’s an Inauguration Day bonus, too!

Some iOS users who were early adopters of the Biden Time app have reported that Day 15 is blank. This is due to a data-caching issue. We’re looking into the issue and hope to publish a fix soon. Meanwhile, as a workaround, you can uninstall & reinstall the app to clear out the cached data that’s preventing days later in the calendar to load properly. Sorry for the inconvenience. On the bright side… you get to re-open past doors! 🙂

Lock-Screen Wisdom

New with version 1.1.0 of the Biden Time app for Android, you can quickly set a favorite illustrated quote as your phone or tablet’s lock-screen wallpaper. Add a little democracy-related wisdom to your lock screen to help keep you grounded in these chaotic times.

Open a door in our “advent calendar” countdown to Inauguration Day 2021, tap the full-screen illustration when you’re done reading the quote or zooming in on the image, and you’ll land on what we refer to as the “Day screen”. There, you can tap the three-dots menu at the right side of the toolbar and choose “Set as Lockscreen Wallpaper”.

We’ve also added some features along the way that you might have missed if you’ve been using the Biden Time app since its original release. Putting a little something in the tip jar adds a thank-you banner above the calendar on the Home screen… but did you know you can tap it to release a shower of stars? And each time you tap it again, it releases more! A simple pleasure to sooth the anxious mind as we wait out these final days before Inauguration Day.

You can also tap the countdown at the bottom of the Home screen to bring up the countdown share screen, where you can share an Inauguration Day countdown image with friends or to social media.

We hope you’re enjoying the Biden Time app! Available on Android and iOS.

Now Available!

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Biden Time app. This lighthearted countdown calendar celebrates democracy each day of 2021 leading up to Inauguration Day, when Joseph R. Biden Jr. will be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States. Starting on January 1st, a new door can be opened each day to reveal a quote artfully illustrated by Adam Setala to remind us of the importance and sanctity of the American political system — without forgetting that it’s okay to laugh at ourselves once in a while, too.

A daily notification will help you count down the days. And with each new illustration, there will be a link to our Redbubble shop, where you’ll be able to purchase items featuring Adam’s artwork. (Where else can you get a coffee mug with a portrait of Naomi Klein?) On select days, we’ll also highlight relevant causes, encouraging donations to organizations we believe in.

This free app is now available on Android and iOS. Install it today to be ready for our Jan 1 start!
