What's New in Countdown Widget with Emoji

2026.4

July 13, 2026

## Siri & Shortcuts Your countdowns now work hands-free. Ask Siri to open a countdown, find events straight from Spotlight search, and build your own automations with the new Shortcuts actions. ## Count down in weeks or months (Pro) Each countdown can now show its time remaining in days, weeks or months — or pick Auto and it'll switch to the friendliest unit as the big day gets closer. ##New month progress widget See how much of the month, quarter or year is left at a glance, with a clean week-by-week progress bar. ## All-day events, fixed across time zones All-day events now stay locked to the right day wherever you travel — no more dates drifting when you cross a time zone. ## A fresh coat of paint We polished the countdown list and gave the welcome screen a brighter, higher-resolution makeover.

Scam

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

Response from developer

Hi there, thanks for leaving us a review. Our app is free to use and we've had thousands of positive reviews. If you're experiencing any difficulties with the app we'd appreciate you reaching out via Help & Support so we can investigate further.

Pro (Grandfathered)

I got the pro subscription from the title shown above. I am thankful for this.

Response from developer

Thanks for your continued support, Maddox3943!

Great

I love it

Glitchy

I adored this app. Best thing on the App Store and it’s completely free! But now I can only use the emoji of the lady shrugging and nothing else 🫠

Edit: The devs asked me to contact them but I can’t get the contact form to send!

Very elegant

This is my favorite countdown app, after trying all the current options - I’m impressed and grateful this is free. My greatest wish is to be able to hide the menu bar (or at least that the menu bar would visually align with one of the events, so it doesn’t distract so much).

Response from developer

Hi bluetoucan, thanks for the suggestion! We will review it and let you know if/when we make it happen!
