What's New in Countdown

7.4.1

October 8, 2026

• Extra Large Widget (iOS 27, Premium): The countdown list widget now comes in a new extra large size. See more of your events at a glance. • iPad & iPhone Duo: Several improvements for a better experience on large screens. Do more with Siri and Shortcuts: • Create countdowns by voice. Say “Hey Siri, create a new Countdown.” Follow the prompts to set a title, date, and either an all-day event or a specific time. • Find out what’s next. Ask “What's next in Countdown?” to hear what’s coming up and how much time is left. • Open a countdown directly. Say “Open [event name] in Countdown” — for example, “Open Birthday in Countdown.” • Keep your countdowns handy. Ask Siri how long until an event, or say “Show my countdowns in Countdown” to open your full list. • Build your own routines. Add countdown actions to custom shortcuts and automations. We’ve also improved language support, countdown recognition, and reliability for a smoother Siri experience. Have feedback or a feature request? Email me at facundo@findappiness.co.

Useless. DONT BUY

What’s the point of having a countdown if it only shows inside the app?? When put on screen, in small tiny letters it shows no. of days left. Useless.

Response from developer

Hi prathambs, Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. The app includes several widget sizes, and they display countdowns differently. The small widget is intentionally compact, while the medium and large widgets can show more information and multiple events. If you want the small widget to show the same countdown format you see inside the app, open the event, tap Edit, go to Custom Units, and turn on Show same format in Widget right below the format options. If the widget still isn’t showing the information the way you expect, please email me at facundo@findappiness.co with a screenshot and I’d be happy to help. Thanks, Facundo

What is needed

It would be great if you could put in the number of days you wanted counted down , example 17 days . Without having to figure out the date and needing to put that in

Perfect calendar app

There are many options to keep track of your ‘things to do’, appointments, etc You can add colors, emoji’s, or arrange the events in a certain order. I love this app!

Just keeps getting worse

Garbage ads with blasting sound.

My best tracker

I’ve used this for about 3 or 4 years now. It’s my go to timer to track everything. Full of features, more than I need.
