Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 倒计时日历 at none against Countdown List's 1. 倒计时日历 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Countdown List's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 45%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 6 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

倒计时日历 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 倒计时日历 has 97 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of 倒计时日历's written reviews are positive against 57% of Countdown List's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

倒计时日历 ships an update every 6 months, Countdown List every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
