Thanks to this application (and the other Widget apps from PacoLabs), you can now customize the Home screen and the Today view of your device, by adding custom widgets for some specific purposes. From anywhere in your device, you'll have access to your own information and actions. Each Count widget allows to manually count the various events or the things of your choice. The values of your counters can be incremented, decremented and also reset by touching the dedicated buttons. A custom name can be displayed and the look can be customized. Those Widgets are compatible with the new iOS 14 Home Screen Widgets. The application is really easy to use and is adapted to the fresh look of your device. Dark mode of iOS13 is supported. In Today view: You can add as many widgets as you want and they will be displayed in up to 3 different lists. Those same lists will be available in the Today view and in the application (although it is possible, if you want, to hide some widgets in the Today view). To avoid overloading the Today view, when too many widgets are displayed, an intuitive control will allow you to navigate from one widget to another. Even if the main purpose of the app is to view the widgets in the Today view, it can also be very handy to view them directly in the application (a long press on a widget in the Today view will open it directly in the main application).

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Counter + at Free against Count Widget's $0.99. Counter + also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (390 vs 7). Count Widget's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On device support there is nothing between them.

Counter + is free to download; Count Widget costs $0.99 up front. Counter + sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Count Widget asks for nothing beyond the download.
Count Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Counter + has 390 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Counter +'s written reviews are positive against 60% of Count Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Counter + ships an update every 2 weeks, Count Widget every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
