What's New in Countdown Fred
5
August 14, 2026
Version 5 is a complete redesign. A NEW LOOK Countdown Fred has been rebuilt around flat, colourful cards and friendly rounded type. Light and dark mode are each designed properly now, rather than one being an inverted copy of the other. A NEW ICON Flat and simple, built from the same mark you see inside the app, with light, dark and tinted versions to suit whichever Home Screen you use. PICK YOUR COLOURS Every event can now be set to one of four card colours. Tap a card, choose Edit, and pick the one you want. Events you already have are given a colour automatically and keep it from then on. A BETTER WIDGET The Home Screen widget has been redesigned to match. It takes on the colour of your next event, and the medium size shows two more events coming up underneath. FIXES • Switching between days and weeks now updates the widget straight away • Day counts stay correct when the app is left open past midnight • Events sharing a date no longer appear in a different order in the app and the widget • The event name field is now readable in dark mode • A number of smaller sorting and layout corrections Thank you for using Countdown Fred
