Upcoming now speaks four more languages: Dutch, Russian, Polish and Hungarian. - After your first countdown, Upcoming shows you step by step how to put it on your Home Screen as a widget. The same guide is in Settings > Widgets & stickers - If sharing a countdown fails because your iCloud storage is full, Upcoming now says so and how to free up space, instead of asking you to try again later Thanks for waiting with us.

Simple and actually free

Looks great, easy to use, and doesn't feel cluttered. Crazy that it's all free when similar apps charge for the basics.

Really solid app that’s not behind a paywall

I’ve tried a bunch of countdown apps and most lock the good stuff behind paywalls. This one gives you everything, clean design, widgets, notifications, all free. No ads, no gimmicks. Honestly feels like something Apple would’ve made themselves.

Response from developer

Thanks for the thoughtful review! I'm glad the widgets and reminders have been useful. Version 4.0 keeps those features free and also makes unlimited countdowns, sharing, and iCloud sync free for everyone.

Response from developer

So sorry to hear about the bad experience. At the time the app was not very stable. If you would like to try it again, I have just released an new version of the app that has been improved significantly since the version 2 years ago.
