Should I install a countdown timer app?

As an e-commerce store owner, I'm constantly looking for ways to improve conversion rates and create a sense of urgency for my customers. I've heard about countdown timer apps but I'm unsure whether they're truly effective or just another gimmicky marketing tool. I want to understand the real impact these apps can have on my store's performance, what benefits they might provide, and whether the investment is worth it for my specific business needs. Are countdown timers genuinely helpful, or are they just a temporary trend that might annoy potential customers?
