Verdict

The call

Countdown with widget and Day Counter Ⓞ both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of Day Counter Ⓞ's written reviews are positive against 27% of Countdown with widget's. Day Counter Ⓞ also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Countdown with widget's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 32). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
