ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

How Many Days Until holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown has 118 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of How Many Days Until's written reviews are positive against 57% of Countdown's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

How Many Days Until ships an update monthly, Countdown every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
