What's New in Countdown Star (Ad

3.0.9

September 6, 2026

This update is about starting up reliably — especially if you have a large collection of events and wallpapers. * Countdown Star now starts more reliably. You may briefly see a loading screen while your events open * When your events sync for the first time, the app now tells you how many have arrived so far, instead of looking empty while it syncs Thank you for using Countdown Star!

Widget aléatoire

Le but du widget était pour moi d’afficher les événements les plus proches, mais à chaque fois que je veux les voir ils s’affichent dans un ordre aléatoire. L’application perd tout son intérêt pour moi. Je regrette de l’avoir achetée.

Sync Error

Have followed every detail and for a brief moment the app will sync to iCloud, then the sync error message comes back.

Amazing app… But ran into some issues.

I love this countdown app. I’ve been adding all my favorite national holidays in the app. I also use it to collect memories of things I like to do: like, the last time I hung out with my best friend. I will say, there are a few issues. When you use the time units slider, you can’t change it back to where it was with VoiceOver. I tried to change the time unit settings from days to hours. But when I tried to change it back to the days,it would not let me. And also, could you make it so it goes back to 10,000 again? And it would really be cool if you had a slider that you can change from weekly, monthly, or annually. Anyways, I really do appreciate this app. I also appreciate that you actually take the reviewers feedback seriously. In my opinion, I feel like there’s not a lot of app developers that do that. You’re a real one in my book. Keep up the great work.

Response from developer

Hello — thank you so much for this, it made my day. I love that you're using it both for holidays and to mark memories; that's the kind of thing I hoped people would do with Countdown Star. I do want to make sure I understand the slider you mentioned. On my end, the units under the timer (years, months, days … all the way down to seconds) snap as you drag, and each event remembers its own setting — so I'm not quite picturing what's going wrong, or what you'd like to get back to. If you can tell me a little more about what you're seeing, I'd genuinely love to help sort it out. And I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts — hearing how people use the app, and what they'd love from it, means a lot. Thanks again for the kind words! — Joe

Sync fail notification

I just wish there was a way to get rid of the notification. Idc that it failed. Just take it off the timer

Still Getting Sync Error

App was recently updated & appears to working but has been displaying a "Sync Error" for at least the past 3 months. Anyone else having this issue?
