What's New in Countdown Star

3.0.8

August 19, 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it can sync again * No more "Sync error" when you simply aren't signed in to iCloud * Your Apple Watch no longer shows out-of-date events after changes sync from another device * Choosing a photo that isn't downloaded to your device now tells you, instead of quietly doing nothing If your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!

GET THIS APP!

I love this app and it is so awesome. You should definitely get it if you haven’t already.

New update August 20/26

Just updated the app and now when you open the app it says sync error. I rebooted the phone and it says the same thing each time. iPhone 14 Pro Max.

神対応!!現状維持望む!

先ず迅速な対応を毎回して頂ける事にもありがたい

前までカレンダーの時間表示が眩しい事や!
画像が大き過ぎて見にくかった問題点もスリガラス等で対応して頂けました

また画像の追加とかが重かったり同期の表示が気になってた点も改善してくれて、、

正直なところ現状維持で良いと思える程に素晴らしい👍🏻て思っています!!

いつも重宝させて貰っててこのアプリが長く続く事が今の要望

Response from developer

こんにちは。貴重なご意見をありがとうございます。そして使いづらくしてしまい申し訳ありません。最新のアップデート(3.0.2、配信中)で、時間表示を小さくし、パネルを透明にして 背景の壁紙がしっかり見えるように改善しました。さらに「設定 → タイマーの設定 → タイマーの背景」から表示スタイルを選べるようになっています(「ガラス」が以前のような透明な見 た目で、不透明度の調整も可能です)。よろしければ一度お試しいただけると嬉しいです。今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。Joe
