What's New in Countdown Star (Ad

3.0.8

August 18, 2026

This update is about knowing whether your events have really made it to iCloud. * The sync status is now more accurate. It only says "Synced with iCloud" once your events have actually reached it * Editing while offline shows "Saved on this device" — your change is safe, and it uploads as soon as you're back online * If Countdown Star is switched off in your iCloud settings, the app now says so and explains how to turn it back on. Your events are still in iCloud and come back when it can sync again * No more "Sync error" when you simply aren't signed in to iCloud * Your Apple Watch no longer shows out-of-date events after changes sync from another device * Choosing a photo that isn't downloaded to your device now tells you, instead of quietly doing nothing If your events look missing, open Settings › Apple Account › iCloud and check that Countdown Star is turned on. Thank you for using Countdown Star!

Sync Error

Love this app! But lately it says sync error at the bottom of my Home Page?? I emailed the guy and never got a response. Maybe he is not updating it anymore. I see review after review months before I left this one and obviously it isn’t being fixed so. I guess I’ll find another app. I don’t want to end up losing all my dates like others.

Everything has gone?

I have been using a fully paid-for version Countdown Star for years and have previously been very pleased with it. However, when I downloaded the update in July it purged all of my data?????
All of my countdowns are now missing! All of my count-ups are missing too! Even my bespoke wallpapers are missing. It’s so frustrating as I don’t know some of the dates and times to enable me to recreate the events. I contacted the developer but have yet to receive a response. This is so poor that I’m giving it a single star and creating this review as a warning to others.

Sync error???

Used this app for a while now but all of a sudden it says sync error but Idkh to fix this issue. Help please

All events gone ☹️

Since the update all my events disappeared. When I start re-entering them I eventually get an iCloud Sync error ❌
I’m afraid I’m going to have to think about giving up on this app. It used to work fine until the recent update but has since become annoyingly unusable, for me at least 🤯
A shame ‘cos I used to enjoy using it on an almost daily basis.
