ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Birthday Countdown holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Birthday Countdown's written reviews are positive against 50% of Birthday Countdown Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Birthday Countdown ships an update every 5 weeks, Birthday Countdown Pro every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
