What's New in Countdown Widget & Counter

3.2.1

October 5, 2026

Includes a bug fix causing some events not to show. Your widgets now know when the big day arrives. • Widgets show "Today" on the day of your event, and "Countdown Ended" after - no more mysterious "0 days" • Make it yours: set a custom completion-day message for any countdown ("The big day!", "We did it!") • New widget option for finished countdowns: keep them in order, move them last, or hide them • Repeating and annual countdowns now roll over to the next occurrence on your widgets - birthdays count to next year automatically • "Archive when done" and "Delete when done" now actually do it, and your event list refreshes itself at midnight and whenever you return • Purchases unlock instantly, and a new Restore Purchases button lives in Settings • The widget event picker always shows your events' current names and dates • Lock Screen and Live widget display fixes, plus dozens of smaller improvements

Good app, does what it promises, easy to navigate
MMaria1608

best app!

This is the best app I’ve found for counting down everything from vacations to book releases! I love that rotates all of my countdowns so that I don’t have to have multiple widgets!
