What's New in Countdown Star

3.0.9

September 5, 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!

It could be better

The ads are annoying, they take up 1/3 of the screen and I dislike the sync error always popping up. There are much nicer countdown apps out there

I want to love it again

When I got this, it was fantastic. After 2 updates ago, I lost everything twice. I offloaded and redownloaded. Still having syncing errors, despite being up to date and iCloud being on for backup.
