What's New in Countdown Widget with Emoji

2026.9

October 19, 2026

Ready for iPhone Duo We've been through the whole app to get it ready for iPhone Duo. Open it up and your countdowns spread out to fill the big screen: three columns when it's lying flat, and two in book mode, one either side of the fold. Fold, unfold and turn it round as much as you like. The cards glide into their new places, the line joining them stays with them all the way, and you never lose your place. Everything else is at home on the bigger screen too. Onboarding and the Pro screen sit in a neat column instead of stretching across it, and the sheet for adding or editing a countdown now stays open until you tap Done or Cancel, so a stray tap beside it, or a swipe down, can't lose your changes. On iPad, your countdowns glide between a single timeline and columns as you resize the window. Also in this update: - The app icon now works with every Home Screen style. Choose Dark, Clear or Tinted and the party popper changes to match, instead of sitting on a white square. - Fixed a crash that could stop widgets showing your countdowns after your iPhone restarts. Thanks as always, Lewis

AWFUL UPDATE - let users change it back!

The last update added nonsense labels that divide upcoming events into weeks, months, even “quarters” - and these divisions do not even work (for example, everything happening *within the next 30 days* goes into the “this month” category?!). The divisions are useless and incredibly frustrating, and there’s no option to remove them. I’m a grandfathered pro user meaning I supported this early and used to love it. Now it’s unusable. Let us remove this awful, useless change.

Response from developer

Hi bluetoucan, thanks for your feedback, I'm sorry you don't like this change. I'll look at turning it off. But I'd love it if you could get in touch so we could discuss it further and see if there's some version that would be acceptable to you. You can get in touch from within the app, I'd really appreciate it. Lewis

Thanks for the great review!

Scam

Useless app. Does nothing. Apple should vet apps better.
